Target Audience-
- This course is meant for anyone who wants to improve their t-shirt designs, using hand-drawn techniques, as well as Photoshop and Illustrator. The software instruction is taught at an intermediate level. Students should already have familiarity with using Photoshop and Illustrator. If you understand layers, tools, and how to draw objects in Photoshop and Illustrator, then this should be enough for you to follow the computer sections of this class. Please note that the two lectures on color separations are more advanced software instruction. But these lectures can be considered optional, and not necessary for all students.
