• using artboards in Photoshop and Illustrator
• using SmartObjects (linked to CC Library)
• using layer comps to show interactivity

Monday, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

We live in a 3D world, but most of the work we produce is 2D — flat images or pages that need to represent the richness of our real lives. We dream of having the flexibility of 3D, to change the angle, texture, and lighting of our subject according to our creative desires.

In this session you’ll learn how to do just that, using your favorite apps as well as reviewing what’s new from Adobe when it comes to 3D compositing.
