Learn how to create designs for either print or screen, using the many applications Illustrator has to offer.

Used by creatives right across the art and design industries, Illustrator is one of the most adaptable and useful Adobe software tools to have in your skill set. This course will cover the different uses and applications that Illustrator can be used for. You'll learn how to setup, modify and navigate the workspace, how to use paths and tools, working with colour and text and saving and exporting your work.

Excellent intro to Illustrator. I really liked being able to practice on my own project with input/help. Sam is very patient thank you. Now to practice.
