How To Use Image Trace and Recolor Artwork - Module 10.1

In this tutorial, I show how to add images to artwork by using the Image Trace functions in Adobe Illustrator CC, Revision 2015.

Original image of President Barack Obama designed by artist Shepard Fairey.

I show how to add an image from a file, explore some of the settings of the Image Trace function, and then show how to expand the image for use in artwork. Next, I show how to modify the new vector art by using the Recolor Artwork function, and review changing colors.

This is another lesson in my course "Fundamentals of Industrial Design Software" taught at University of Idaho in Idaho Falls. In the course we cover the basics of Adobe Illustrator CC, Revision 2015, for designers, artists, and illustrators in the various areas of industrial design. The objective of the course is to help beginners and those with little experience with Adobe Illustrator CC become more familiar with the tools and their use in order to improve their current work, and/or move into positions that demand more Illustrator expertise.
