What you'll learn

In this series of tutorials, we will follow a step by step process for creating futuristic menus in Illustrator. We begin by watching a clip that the menus will eventually be composited into and get an idea for what kinds of motions the actor in the clip makes. This gives us an idea for the scale and the types of menus that we need to be creating for this setting. This course teaches some time saving workflows for working quickly in Illustrator and building lots of varied shapes that can be used to build endless combinations of buttons and applications for our interface. If you have some Illustrator knowledge, and you are ready to make a really fun project that will speed up your workflow and teach you some tips for readying your artwork for animation, then this course is for you. By the end of this course, you will have your own set of futuristic menus as well as the tool set to make many more buttons that still look like a cohesive set. Software required: Illustrator CS6.
