The Pen tool (to create a logo to work on the business card)
To get shapes from Photoshop to create a logo with Illustrator you can use the Pen Tool. The pen tool is a more precise tool for selection of pixels than the other tools we used in the class: The magic wand, the lasso, the magnetic lasso.
You make a selection, then you save the selection as a path and copy that path from Photoshop. You paste it onto your Illustrator document.

CLASS 3: Business cards
BUSINESS CARD
Size of the business card:
3.5" x 2"
Hi class!
I hope your weekend was great.
For tomorrow's class we are going to work on your "Business cards". We are going to work them using a lot of Illustrator and a little bit of Photoshop.
If you can bring models of business cards that you would like to learn how to make please bring them to the class.
If you have digital pictures of you (close ups work better, or id pictures if you don't have regular ones) or any picture of idea or logo that you would like to have , bring them to the class (or have it in your e-mail or somewhere in the web to download them to your computer). Try not to bring anything to scan in the class because the scanner sometimes causes a lot of trouble and takes a lot of time to scan pictures in the class.
See you tomorrow,
u.

1.To work the pictures on this blog, first you have to drag them to your Mac's desktop. Click on the picture and you'll see the original photo (real size). With your mouse, drag the picture to the computer's desktop.
2.Open the program PHOTOSHOP (usually it is in the folder APPLICATIONS). From Photoshop open the picture that is on the computer's desktop.
It is very important that you SAVE your work every 3-5 minutes.
YOU SHOULD CREATE A FOLDER with your name on the desktop and drag everything that you work in class into that folder. If you use pictures from the Internet, DRAG THE PICTURES INTO THAT FOLDER. (This is particularly important when you are working with Quark Xpress)
At the end of EVERY CLASS, please get your work in your flash driver OR in your BLOG. IT IS NOT 100% sure that if you leave the work that you did in class it will be on the desktop the next class. PLEASE SAVE YOUR WORK EVERY 3-5 MINUTES. That way you won't loose important work and time.
