Maker Basics: Digital Design Using Adobe Fresco

Maker Basics Workshops are designed for Makers of all skill levels to come into the Fab Lab and learn something new with fun hands-on activities!

This week is an introduction to Digital Design Using Adobe Fresco. You will learn how to use the Fab Lab's iPad Pro and Adobe Fresco app to create your own digital design. Learn how to set up a digital canvas that is optimized for printing or posting on the internet, explore how to use layers, brushes and transparency to to create your composition. We will go over some basic drawing techniques like balance, unity, composition, line, value, and proportion. You will create your own digital design, and then print it using the Fab Lab's ink jet or dye sublimation printer so you can take your art home with you. The Fab Lab Staff are here to help walk you through your project and printing, and are happy to answer your questions.
