You probably guessed. It was false economy trying to do the layout on Photoshop just because I know how to use it. I spent yesterday watching terrible YouTubes and gradually realizing Photoshop wouldn’t do the job and Illustrator would, and this morning watching increasingly less patronizing videos getting to grips with beginners’ Illustrator.
AND NOW it is with brow-quivering pride that I share with you my very first Illustrator file that exactly matches BUT IN VECTOR FORM the cut-out I originally made and scanned in. It’s taken all day and it’s composed of about four lines, but good heavens I am proud.
The laser cutter at Book Works will follow the vectors and cut out neat uniform versions of the scalpel-cut pages I’ve been making at home. One down, 23 to go. Six days to go. That’s fine right?
