Adobe Illustrator, in a Class by Itself

The mediabistro.com mothership continues to heed your cries for more design courses, and the last weekend of this month (June 28-29) is all about Adobe Illustrator. In two content-stuffed days in New York City, Mac-based designers will get up to speed on Illustrator under the expert guidance of art director and graphic designer Patricia Ryan. By the time you head home on Sunday, you’ll be an old pro at creating vector images and be able to use a bezier curve with the best of them. All we ask is that you use your newfound colors and gradients knowledge for good. As Spider Man‘s graphic designer cousin Gene once said, “With great special effects and filter skills come great responsibility.” Register or learn more here.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
