Intro to CAD

Using Adobe Illustrator to design for Arc’teryx

About the Project

Intro to CAD was truly my first introduction to Adobe Illustrator, and I treated it as such. Through this course, I dedicated myself to mastery. I took the time to make sure these packages would be factory-acceptable. While some of them might not have been, I put in my maximum effort, and most importantly, I learned from my mistakes. These lessons were realized in CAD II.

For a majority of this course, we built skills within Adobe Illustrator that prepared us to design a seasonal line for an already existing brand. We learned everything from file creation to surface pattern design, and everything in between. Through these lessons, we were prepared to make a line consisting of one outerwear piece, one knit top, one woven top, and one woven bottom.
