Adobe Illustrator basics (FNWI)
During this workshop, you will learn the basics of Illustrator and you will make (a start with) your own scientific poster. Prior knowledge on Adobe Illustrator is not necessary!
NOTE: if you have no experience with Adobe Illustrator and you just want to create a fancy flyer once in a while: consider using Canva! This is a very intuitive, web-based, free tool. Go to www.canva.com to find out more.
