    Just a big THANK YOU. I used to hate the idea of opening Ilustrator and now I´m playing with these tools like a child. Thank you so much!

    OMG, this is the class I didn't know I needed. Erica is a great teacher - explaining things in such a way that I can use it immediately. I'm SO happy right now!!!

    Very informative class for a total newbie like me, and Erica is delightful. There are some very basic concepts that I have to figure out for myself though since she did move very quickly through some of the steps, i.e., how she zoomed in and zoomed out, etc. Otherwise, I learned a lot and recommend it especially for newbies like me.

    Erica is a fantastic instructor. As always, she provides clear instructions with helpful demonstrations, all while covering *a lot* of material (i.e., good bang for the buck here). I also appreciate her cheerful demeanor and fun sense of humor. I have experience with other creative cloud applications, but I haven't used Illustrator much yet simply because I didn't want to confront the learning curve. After this class, though, I'm excited to get started. Thanks for another great course, Erica!

    I'm really sad I didn't learn this stuff in the degree program at school I paid $30,000 for but grateful to be learning it now. Thank you!

    Excellent Instructor! Erica is clear and easy to understand when speaking. Everything she taught, worked when I tried it myself in Illustrator.

    Great presentation. Really lively and full of great stuff for an Illustrator beginner. I've attempted to use Illustrtaor before and been completely stumped. This makes it all seem possible. I tried to follow along by scribbling in Illustrator as we went along. I think it will take some practice to embed what I learned and also some time to play with the tools and their variations. I can finally see that Illustrator has some really useful possibilities.
