It is a very well laid out course instructing on all the ins and outs for learning Illustrator. I know CorelDraw but found Illustrator cumbersome, but with the explanation of the tools it helps to correlate to the program I was used to. The Instructor is knowledgable and entertaining which makes the lessons more accessible and less tedious as some instructors can be. It is very engaging.

YES!!!! Bitter sweet watching this after over a decade of production work... I'm SOOOO stoked about all these awesome problem solving tools and yet SOOOO ticked at myself for not having learned this in the beginning! What you've taught here is unlocking potential that I could never before access.

my up to date version of illustrator does not have the like photoshop setting. No questions being answered on the QA portion of the class about this issue. also would have been nice to know that the instructor would be using an Apple when I purchased the class

I had never worked an Adobe program before but need to learn it for a software we had at church and no seem to understand it. I now have been creating things in it already looking forward to the mext level. The course was very easy to follow for a dummy- a true beginner.

I am enjoying the way the instructor is explaining- so clear and knowledgeable of the course; and he's funny so it makes the experience fun and exhilarating. I had to switch from another online course that made me nervous and for two month have learnt nothing. Looking forward to completing this course

Great explanations and a really engaging teaching style. This is a very good course for anyone who wants to learn the basics of Adobe Illustrator. Each lesson is easy to follow and I have learnt so much in a short period of time.
By Eddie Shelton on 11/7/2016
Even the basics that I thought I knew everything I needed to know, I watched anyhow, and was glad I did. I learned a lot of tricks I didn't even know existed that will save me a ton of time, and just make life much easier going forward when using Illustrator! Probably one of the best video tutorials I've ever watched.

Thanks for the great course and having a whole company be able to run on what you teach. Well definitely the designing and creation part to be flawless. Appreciated. Got a bit distracted closer to the end but it was because it was not as much applicable to what we do, but definitely worth doing for anyone willing to learn more than what time is worth.

While I had "used" Illustrator in the past, this course gave me an in-depth look into the tools I need to actually use Illustrator. I wish I had more teachers like Andy back in school. Note: This course is what it says. It's a beginner's course on Illustrator. If you are looking to make complex creations, this course will help you get started but, nothing more.
By Daniel on 5/20/2013
Fantastic easy to learn and understand course. My last course with Andy was Photoshop CS5 which was also a brilliant course. If you were like me and had a program that you've never used, learn't or felt overwhelmed by. Then Andy is the man to take it all away with his step by step course.
