ILLUSTRATOR CS5 “Summary”
The class and book “showed you how to apply smart design principles to multimedia products such as dynamic graphics, animation, websites, software authoring tools, and digital video.” (Botello, 2011, P. V)
Illustrator is a graphic drawing program that has tools you can use to create fantastic, dramatic, and original designs. I enjoyed learning the tools I can use in this program and look forward to learning and using more of what this program has to offer.
