Vector Graphics Basics

Description

Vector graphics stay sharp at any size because they are built from paths, not pixels. This toolkit explains that idea first, then introduces the essential tools and the interface of a vector editor.

The lessons then cover creating basic shapes and paths, working with colours and gradients, and using the pen tool for precise outlines. You also combine shapes with boolean operations, work with text, and organise artwork with layers and groups. The closing lessons deal with exporting files in common formats and with real-world projects. The ten PDF lessons include exercises to practise each technique.

Who it is for: beginners who want to make scalable logos, icons and illustrations for personal or professional projects.
