An “Adobe Illustrator (AI)” Advance Training Course was held by Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University Library for two days from 16th April to 23rd April. The training course was conducted in computer room 455. The two-day course is divided into two stages: 1) Advance AI Design I ---- Memphis Geometric Poster Design, and 2) Advance AI Design II ---- 2.5D illustration scene design. This time the class was conducted by Xu Yuanyuan, a Year 2 XJTLU student. She has a lot of experience on designing vector graphics and her engaging technical demonstration has received good feedbacks from participants.
“Practice Is Better Than Theory”. So, in the second half of the course, Xu Yuanyuan, the student instructor gave demonstrations and instructions on how to make Memphis geometric posters and create 2.5D illustration scene while the participants listen and practice. Many interested participants asked questions to the student instructor to improving their theoretical knowledge and technical skills. This course was conducted due to popular demand for AI skills and students’ enthusiasm for learning.
