#995Creating Publication Quality Graphics with Adobe Illustrator
 
Description:
Abobe Illustrator is a great tool for the preparation of diagrams and illustrations for publication. This “hands on” style seminar will cover Illustrator basics and is geared towards scientists that are preparing images for publication or presentations. As part of the hands-on session we will compose original drawings of molecular pathways and molecular mechanisms.

This Illustrator course is presented by the NIAID OCICB Bioinformatics and Computational Biosciences Branch (BCBB). For questions about the course, email BCBB at ScienceApps@niaid.nih.gov
