Techniques and practical examples in Adobe Illustrator

Vectors have the advantage over pixel-based images that they can be displayed in any size and always retain their sharp-edged quality. However, working with them requires some practice.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create your own vector-based graphics using Adobe Illustrator tools . By the end, you will be able to draw shapes such as rectangles, triangles and stars. You will be able to draw new shapes by hand. And you will be able to edit the graphic elements once they have been created, for example by adding new colors, contours and shadows.

You will also work extensively with text and learn how to bend it, underline it or write on paths. There are also practical tips for your work in Adobe Illustrator, such as how to use guides and images.

Who is this Illustrator course suitable for?

The tutorial covers the basics of Adobe Illustrator and is therefore ideal for anyone who has never worked with vectors and vector programs before or would like to switch from other vector-based software to Adobe Illustrator.
