Tech Tools - A Virtual Workshop Series

  • Registration Closed

Overview

An interactive virtual workshop series, Prepare to Win: Tech Tools, will provide you with the necessary skills to use two popular computer design programs, Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. It's the perfect workshop to help build up your creative abilities, whether you're a seasoned marketer or just starting your career. After the sessions, you'll be able to take the techniques you've learned to beautifully format text, create proposals, modify existing templates, and edit or create logos, maps and diagrams.


This is a beginner-level class; no experience in these two programs is required.

What to Expect

Each module will consist of 75-90 minute online instruction, as well as additional resources. Module-related questions will be posted in the discussion board for individual practice and group discussion. If you'd like to follow along hands-on, please have InDesign and Illustrator installed for the sessions. If you're using an older version (CS 4/CS5/CS6), that's fine. But if you'd like to try out the current Creative Cloud versions, you can download a seven-day free trial here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html

NOTE: the trials only last seven days, so don't download too far ahead of the session. Also, the trials are not renewable, so consider installing just the application you need for the session (i.e., install the InDesign trial for the 8/24 session, then later install the Illustrator trial for the 8/31 session). We'll send out the exercise files well in advance of the webinars so you can be ready to go.
