Come have some fun in the sun with Illustrator Andrea Davalos as she creates a postcard series for a fictional hotel called “The Sunny.” On Day 1, she’ll use Illustrator to turn her sketches into original vector illustrations then focus on color and gradients. Stick around on Day 2 as she exports her designs using Photoshop to add texture and final details!

Guest Andrea Davalos is the head of Multimedia Design at Socialbakers, based in Prague.
