10:10 Adobe Illustrator – Sketch to Template

Yes, you can make vector graphics from images and sketches. Let’s look at the workflow this morning while reviewing some of the work we did yesterday.

Groups and Group Selection Tool (file we’ll be using is called groups_skeleton)

Symbols (file we’ll be using is symbols_truck)

Swatch Libraries from Adobe Color (from an image)

Importing as Template – there are some presets that can make this work faster
Importing as image tracing
- We’ll use the Essentials Classic workspace to assist us (access to image trace menu)
Making vector graphics from sketches is a great way to digitize your ideas and can make prototyping faster (for things like icons, logos and branding).

We’ll practice with the Food Truck sketch I made.

Advanced Image Trace Panel:

Paths: Dragging the Paths slider to the right makes the paths fit tighter to the original “shape” (more anchor points), whereas dragging to the left makes the paths fit looser (less anchor points).
Corners: Dragging the slider to the right makes more corner points, and dragging the slider to the less makes more smooth points.

Activity: You Try

Create a Sketch of your own. Import as image trace

10:50 Break

11:00 CAWD2 ID Photos

Let’s go meet Mrs. Fisher in Cosmo2 and get our IDs taken care of. We’ll all walk back together when the photos are completed.

Distribution of Cameras
Camera SetUp
Managing your new equipment

You should have in your camera bag 2 lenses along with a strap, battery and battery charger. It is your responsibility to keep you camera in working order each day. We’ll practice assembling and disassembling the camera each day we use the cameras. Why? (because you might have to do it in the dark, or have to change lenses in the middle of a shoot – time is money!)

Activity – We’ll do some basics to properly set up our cameras. Starting with the menu button and then working our way around some of the button and icons around the body of the camera. Topics:
