About this course:

The power of iPad apps for designers is that they combine the directness of drawing with a pencil with the modern image editing capabilities of Photoshop, allowing you to do more than hand-drawing or Photoshop can do alone. In this hands-on course, we’ll briefly touch on three apps—Morpholio Trace, Procreate and Sketchup for iPad—then focus on the special powers of Procreate and Sketchup for iPad. The class will be divided into two sections: 1) an overview of the modern image editing tools in all the apps, and 2) a deep dive on 2D and 3D rendering techniques unique to the iPad. Assignments will build skills in the context of real-world design challenges.
