• Pencil
• Access to the internet (either on a smartphone or a computer)
• Computer (This course uses Mac and covers all relevant course tasks using a Mac, but other computer brand users are welcome. DISCLAIMER: Though most things are similar when it comes to Mac vs PC, some interface operations and command keys will be different, and is expected that non-Mac users will search out questions related to those differences on their own. This course will not cover non-Mac related questions.)
• Scanner (In this course I use a Canon MG3100 to Scan in my artwork. Most scanners will be similar to course process. DISCLAIMER: It is the responsibility of each individual student to seek out questions regarding their Printer/Scanner model on their own. The Instructor can't possibly know how each printer is suppose to operate, and it will not be covered within the scope of this course.)
