The theories presented are well-established ideas in all forms of 2D art and design, including drawing, painting, printmaking, graphics and general design. These principles may also be applied to interior design, architecture and industrial design. The various ideas covered are illustrated and taught through a variety of tutorials tht use basic computer skills and techniques. The tutorials are designed to address classic tools and procedures common to all drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Macromedia Freehand.
