10:10 Adobe Sketch to Template

Quick Scrum Meeting – sweatshirt updates from the group

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 the other day in Adobe Illustrator

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

Symbols (file we’ll be using is symbols_truck)

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 a sketch I made for you.

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

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)

How Bridge works with your hard drive
Sorting, viewing, previewing, rating, ranking
What files bridge can see
Importing images from SD card
Batch processing (renaming, touch up, resizing)
