Overview

Hello everybody and welcome to this fantastic Adobe Illustrator CC masterclass.
 
In this course you will learn all you need to know to master Adobe Illustrator CC in very little time and with very little effort.

This is a complete Adobe Illustrator course, and we are going to cover everything from the very basics, like Illustrator’s interface, basic navigation controls and file creation, to the more advanced stuff. You will learn how to use Adobe Illustrator’s tools in detail, with all of their options to help you become a top-level Adobe Illustrator user.

We will also cover different illustration and design workflows that will help you become a true master and get the upper hand in the illustration and design game.

In this course we will also create different projects where you’ll learn how to implement all your new knowledge and make sure you truly understand the concepts and techniques within this course. And you will have access to all the files I use, so you can follow along and practice everything you learn.

This course is packed with lots of valuable information that you’ll be able to apply in every single vector design project you work in the future.

This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator, whether you want to make a logo, a flyer, t-shirt designs, character designs, vector illustrations or anything in between. This course will benefit you greatly if you are a complete beginner and haven’t even opened Illustrator for the first time, but it will also help you a lot if you already know the basics of Illustrator and want to expand your knowledge and abilities with the software. Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate student, this course will help you improve and take your Illustrator skills to the next level.

I made this course using Adobe Illustrator CC 2020, but you will be able to follow along with basically any version of Illustrator, including Illustrator CC 2021 and of course, older versions of Illustrator. So you will be able to learn and follow along regardless of your version of Illustrator.

So, if you want to become an Illustrator master in very little time and with very little effort, this is the perfect course for you.

By the end of this course you will have a clear understanding of how to use Adobe Illustrator to make any vector design project you work in the future.

So, get ready to learn a lot, and I’ll see you inside.
