I really like the way Helen explains things. This last video on the Pathfinder tool was excellent with the graphic shown of how each option operates and what you get. I am going to work on this and keep a copy of it as a cheat sheet in my notebook.

Helen allayed my fears about using Illustrator with her simple but effective teaching methodology.I found her explanation of the dreaded pen tool very enjoyable unlike the usual complicated teaching of the pen tool tool out there.Photoshop users will find this timely tutorial very helpful cos Illustrator can be quite intimidating.Great job!
