New Groundbreaking Illustrator Features and WOW! CC Creative Fun

with the Powerhouse Team of Brenda Sutherland and Sharon Steuer.

Brenda will share some of the groundbreaking (and rule breaking!) new features in Illustrator, and shed some insight into the team’s process of taking an idea from inception to release.

Brenda Sutherland has been part of the Adobe Illustrator development team for over 18 years, currently as a product manager for both Illustrator and InDesign. Brenda has also contributed to books on Illustrator, taught classes and seminars on Illustrator, and continues to use Illustrator in her own work.

Sharon will be sharing with you some of her favorite ways to be creative with CC features. She’ll demonstrate some of the techniques from the latest Illustrator WOW! Book, and show you how these features update one of her lynda.com (http://lynda.com/) techniques.

Sharon Steuer has been creating, writing about, and teaching workshops on digital art since the early 1980s, and in Illustrator since it premiered in 1987. The current edition of her Illustrator WOW! Book, The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Book for CS6 and CC, is the fourteenth book in the series, which has three times received the Benjamin Franklin Award for best computer book. In addition to the WOW! Books, you can see her “Artistic Painting in Illustrator” online video courses on lynda.com. Sharon is also the author of Creative Thinking in Photoshop: A New Approach to Digital Art, and is a regular contributor to CreativePro.com. Her digital paintings and illustrations have appeared in numerous books and magazines and have been exhibited nationally.
