Week 3 of Adobe Illustrator - More CS3 integrations

Week 3 of our Adobe Illustrator involves not only the illustrator software but also Photoshop and Flash Pro. Our training was about how to create an flash based ads with High resolution pictures and vector graphics yet optimized file sizes.


This training also showed use how CS3 softwares interconnect with each other. Since a nice banner should show high-resolution pictures yet still having a web friendly file size, we used Photoshop to "optimized" the pictures and Illustrator for Vector Graphics before we drag them unto Flash to create the the banner ad. We then added some motion animations for nice effects.
