Welcome to the complete beginners guide to Adobe Illustrator where I will be demonstrating how to create a small project in Adobe Illustrator from start to finish.
Along the way, we will be covering many topics, such as:
- How to set up your document
- Understand how the program works
- Use text in Illustrator
- Prepare and import images into Illustrator
- Export your document ready for print.
To help break down the process I have structured the course in 3 main sections:
Section 1 – Introduction
Section 2 – Essential practice
Section 3 – Create a project
**FYI**
In this video series, I will be using Adobe Illustrator CC for Mac.
Almost all of the principles demonstrated and covered will apply to future and previous versions.
Some differences may apply if you are using a previous or future version.
Short answer: YES!
