We are living in an era when the importance of visual communication and design rapidly increases. No matter in which sector or position we work, we have to deal with visual arts and graphics as they are indispensible for institutional and individual communication. As EPN Technology and Engineering Platform, we are going to cover the Adobe Illustrator software, which is used for crafting digital logos, graphics and preparing contents for magazines, books, newspapers, adverts, posters and websites, at this month’s workshop. Mr. Ali Uysal, who works for the international newspaper Zaman Benelux as a graphic designer, will show the EPN members that are interested in the topic the fundamentals of Adobe Illustrator and look over some samples. We will be pleased to have your presence at this in-depth workshop which, we believe, will be helpful for those who want to expand their skill set, learn advanced techniques in Illustrator and improve the quality of their work.
