Come practice creating and editing vector graphics, a useful skill for researchers to present concepts via figures, diagrams, and other visual products.

In this hands-on session, we will use Adobe Illustrator to reproduce example QIS journal article figures. These have been selected to implement techniques learned in Part I of the series, while learning a few new techniques. Skills from Part I are expected, so review or catch up via the recording.

The event is formally scheduled till 1pm, but we have the room till 1:30pm in case participants want to stay longer.

Pre-workshop instructions: 1. Review or catch up on Part I via this recording.

2. Bring computer + Illustrator: This is a hands-on tutorial workshop. To fully benefit, please bring your own computer with Adobe Illustrator installed. UMD members have access to Illustrator through Terpware: Windows - Faculty/Staff | Students ||| Mac - Faculty/Staff | Students Feel free to reach out to Daniel Serrano dsvolpe@umd.edu to get assistance preparing for the workshop. The room will open at 11:50pm for pre-workshop troubleshooting.

3. Optional: Send Daniel dsvolpe@umd.edu examples of figures/diagrams you’d like to be able to create. With sufficient time, we will go over the tools and skills needed to create those specific ones.
