Great job, several ah ha moments and throw in a few wow's. I thought I had better than a basic knowledge only to find out how little I really knew. The short cuts, shapes and highlight noodles just to name a few. Well worth it. This would have made learning AI so much easier than when I did. Thank you Jason,

An outstanding introduction to Illustrator. Perfect to get one started and working. Ai is a pretty dense, complex program and it's sometimes impossible to muddle through and figure it out on your own. This course gets you right up over the steep part of the learning curve.

Excellent intro to Illustrator! Adobe's software doesn't always feel intuitive but Jason breaks it down in a way that's approachable and easy to follow. The course moves along quickly and packs a ton of stuff into an hour and a half, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be taking more of his classes!

Not my first Illustrator course but I like its hands-on approach, to work your Illustrator skills up from the ground. Its a good course for beginners and intresting teacher.
