In my eighth grade classes, students spend the first few weeks learning the basics of Photoshop and Illustrator.

One of the more nuanced skills that doesn't receive near enough air time in class, is how to use these two powerful applications together. Here's my first part in a series on Illustrator / Photoshop work-flows.
