Sarajo Frieden’s Illustrator work is whimsical, colorful, and full of texture — which in PostScript parlance can mean complicated paths laden with points.
But Frieden knows that what seems complex on the surface can be simplified underneath. Follow along as Freiden develops a greeting card for UNICEF. She takes you from sketching the concept to defining her color palette to crafting her own type to creating a second project for the same client. And you’ll learn her tricks for using Illustrator’s Simplify command to ensure her work will print efficiently.
