GWC DARTG135 Introduction to Adobe Illustrator Video Tutorials

Golden West College LogoThese videos and projects are from a few summers back (2005) covering Adobe Illustrator CS2. While we are currently teaching CS5, the majority of the content is still up to date even for CS5. I am not currently teaching Illustrator at GWC, I currently teach two sections of the DARTG178 Introduction to Web Design.

All the movies listed below are in Quicktime format and the finished project files that go with them are in .zip format. Download Quicktime for the Mac or PC here.

DARTG135 Introduction to Adobe Illustrator

Movies for the DARTG135 online class are broken up into two sections.

  • HOW TO FILES are short movies to help you with the online class.
  • CLASS LECTURE files are optional weekly lectures that cover some of the material from the book as well as extra material.

All of the subjects covered during the movies can be done in CS3, CS4 and most in CS5. Please ignore any homework, projects and dates discussed during the movies.
