Illustrator can be used to accomplish many different design tasks. For this reason, Illustrator Essential Training teaches core concepts and techniques that can be applied to any workflow for print, the web, or assets that will find their way into other applications. In this course, Tony Harmer explains the elements that make up Illustrator documents, including artboards, basic shapes, and more. Tony discusses vector graphics—paths, strokes, and fills—and shows how to use each of the drawing tools within Illustrator. He demonstrates how to transform, combine and clean up paths, as well as organizing elements into groups and layers. Tony also covers text editing, working with color, expressive brush drawing, effects, and much more. Exercise files accompany this course.
