Adobe Illustrator Training in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane
With Adobe Illustrator you can create graphics and type in the resolution-independent vector format, meaning that the same graphic will maintain its quality whether it is being output to a business card or a billboard display. New features in Illustrator CS5 include Perspective Grids that create a sense of realistic 3D space and the Bristle Brush that makes scalable vector drawings look like realistic brush strokes.
