Unfortunately, smartmockups.com was discontinued for a different service, but knowing that services like that exist is nice. Otherwise, this is a very well-rounded course! Doing the assignments and the examples will help train the problem solving on how to use the tools to get results. It's great!

Adobe Illustrator CC: Essential Illustrator CC Training (71 Lectures and 10 Hours). Having previously completed The Complete Adobe After Effects Bootcamp: Basic to Advanced by Louay Zambarakji, my expectations for this Illustrator course were quite high. Fortunately, this course met those expectations perfectly. Louay’s engaging teaching style and deep command over Adobe Illustrator make learning both enjoyable and highly effective. The course covers essential tools and techniques in a well-structured manner, making it an excellent choice for beginners and intermediate users alike. The availability of exercise files further enhances the learning experience by allowing hands-on practice. One minor drawback is that the brush tools are not covered or explored in greater detail as per my slight understanding. However, since I have taken other design courses and am not a beginner, this did not impact my learning significantly. Overall, this is an excellent course for anyone looking to master Adobe Illustrator. Louay Zambarakji once again delivers high-quality instruction, making complex concepts easy to understand. Highly recommended!

Earlier when I used to open Illustrator, I was scared to see there interface but after completing this course, I have got the basic knowledge. This course is designed for beginners and covers all the essential tools and techniques in Adobe Illustrator. It includes practical projects and downloadable resources. Thank you Louay Zambarakji Sir

This is ideal for individuals who are new to Illustrator and will use it for the first time.
By Dmytro Pakin on 2/12/2023
Actually, I'm a motion designer, and I studied the program to understand how to work with vector graphics when I don't like something and I need to fix it. But, in the process, I realized that logo design is also close to my soul. Hah. Sensei gave me everything I needed. Now I'm fully armed. And ready to do great things. Thanks a lot. Maybe I'll stop by France for tea! Sincerely, Dmytro

I am really enjoying this course. The instructor has a very nice manner and is clearly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Adobe Illustrator. I'm enjoying doing the tasks as I go, and seeing other people's assignments. The main thing I have struggled with in the course is the shortcut keys - it would be amazing to have a cheat sheet - for both PC and Mac that is in the order of most commonly used, or the order we are using them. Or (and) have them in text on screen in the video when they are being used.
By Rochit Kadhao on 8/24/2021
I like the course and giving assignment on each particular lesson that helps me to build an amazing graphics maybe even more better that is why I give you 5 Stars for the course.However you should add more interesting graphic design or add some parts to the course as a new update lectures to create more creativity to the course.

Illustrator is a monster of a program. There are courses where they go into every little aspect of the program and it can become tedious pretty quick. But in this course Louay teaches you what you will eventually use 90% of the time and by the end of the course you should feel very comfortable with Illustrator. I have taken many courses from Louay and I have enjoyed them and learned a lot from them and this course was no exception. Louay is my favorite teacher in Udemy. I look forward to every course he releases. Thanks Louay!
