  <default_description>Illustrator can be used to accomplish many different design tasks. For this reason, &lt;em&gt;Illustrator CS4 Essential Training&lt;/em&gt; teaches core concepts and techniques that can be applied to any workflow for print, the web, or assets that will find their way into other applications. Mordy Golding explains the elements that make up vector graphics paths, strokes, and fills and shows how to use each of Illustrator s drawing tools. He demonstrates how to combine and clean up paths, and organize them into groups and layers. Mordy also covers text editing, working with color, expressive brush drawing, effects, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Topics Include:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Making efficient use of the Illustrator interface&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Creating text on a path&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Using the Magic Wand and Lasso selection tools&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Working with a pressure-sensitive tablet&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Applying 3D extrusions and resolves&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Converting images to vectors with Live Trace&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Exporting files for use in Photoshop, Flash, and other applications&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Duration: &lt;/strong&gt;8.5 hours  &lt;/br&gt;  On 1 DVD-ROM  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;System Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Macintosh Requirements&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;OS 10.3.9 or higher&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;DVD-ROM drive&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;1024x768 resolution&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;24-bit video support&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;QuickTime 7 or higher&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Windows Requirements&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;/br&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;XP or Vista&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;DVD-ROM Drive&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;1024x768 resolution&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;24-bit video support&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;PC sound card/speakers&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;QuickTime 7 or higher (included)&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;.NET 2.0 or higher (included)&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;</default_description>
