Free Seminar | Intro to Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator can be incredibly useful for creating graphics for web, print, signage, or anything! Unfortunately it’s not very intuitive for beginners to learn. In this seminar we’ll show you the fundamentals of Illustrator in a way that makes them approachable for someone who’s just getting started. Experience with another Adobe graphics app will help, but is not required.

This free class is the perfect introduction to Adobe Illustrator, before you decide to dive into a hand-on class including Illustrator in a Day or Adobe Illustrator Bootcamp.
