It was an excellent match for me. Very practical and suitable for a beginner. Kindly propose me such practical courses please. May be the author of the course can propose which level is next (after this one). Thanks

The course is short but sweet. I am already learning how to make some pretty cool designs once I got to the point of effects. Combining text with effects is awesome alone. Getting great ideas. Thanks for making the course.

Good beginner class with valuable tips and tricks; The instructor was working on a Mac and for some of the sections forgot to provide dual naming (PC) for the shortcut buttons he used but it wasn't too difficult to figure out.

First of all thanks to the instructor. The course is quick and short clarifying the basic fundamentals of the program. He illustrated the function of some basic tools but not all of them. Voice is loud and clear. although English is not my native langue, I could easily understand him. I wish he gave extra videos covering more tools or projects.

need to show a few samples of end product, so that the steps can be used to develop this...eg. newsletter using pucker and bloat effect, rotation text etc.. otherwise good to know each command and its purpose. dozing off. no games and such. No instructor name. Need opportunity to get a actual certificate from Adobe by attending more courses, rather than attendance cert.

Great course for Illustrator beginners that is easy to follow along with and to understand. The instructor explains the basics step-by-step at the perfect pace - not too fast, not too slow. He also has a good voice/tone for instruction that is calming, yet not boring. (I took a video course through another online school last year and had Barney the purple dinosaur as my instructor...I only made it halfway through the course.) If you need or just want to learn Illustrator, start here!

It is very clear and so easy to understand. I love it when I learn about the icons and what they help us do. very easy to understand and I start to love Adobe Illustrator now. I am a very low-tech person but I love these lessons.

Instructor speaks to fast and misses important intermediate steps. "When you know how to do something well, you tend to forget how you got there", slow down and make every step clear. Remember we don't know what you know, so show us.

I subscribed to this course for $10 (the limited time offer from Udemy) and I guess it's worth the cost I paid. It honestly covers the basics (as promised in its title) - in a consistent and repetitive manner, well-suited for beginners like me.
