Macromedia Freehand
There are three very strong vector drawing
software packages available for graphic designers. We will be using
Macromedia Freehand. Adobe Illustrator is also a
popular application and works almost the same as Freehand. You may
chose to do the assignments in Illustrator rather than Freehand. An
often overlooked program is CorelDraw. It is very powerful
but started off as a PC based program rather than a Mac based
program. Most designers were Mac users (this trend has shifted
dramatically in the last five years). I will
post information about Freehand during the semester. I currently use
Freehand 9.0, but 10.0 is now available. Macromedia offers a free
thirty day trial on their web site that you may want to take
advantage of. |
