Course Description

If you want to learn about illustrator or flat design in a rather fun, EASY!, and a straight to the point way. Then you should take this course. Dawid is an amazing lecturer who takes you step by step through each design and he shows you the perfect way to design icons you can be proud of. I cannot recommend this course enough.

Aren’t you tired of spending days watching courses and tutorials on Illustrator, that get you nowhere?

That’s because they mainly talk about the tools, not showing practical examples and how to get things done.

And I am like you: I like to learn only the important skills.

So if you want to:

  • learn practical Illustrator techniques

  • design flat icons immediately

  • and finally start using Illustrator independently

…then you are in for a treat.

Because this course will easily build your confidence in Illustrator and flat design.

Each lecture is a 15 minute gem pack with lots of practical Illustrator and flat design techniques, that will make you a flat design superhero.

And it’s real.

It’s happening to other students in the course:

Wonderful!

Only finished the first icon so far and I already feel a huge amount more confident in Illustrator and the overall flat design. The quality of the videos are great, clear voice and easy to follow.

Take a look at just a small fraction of flat design magic, that’s waiting for you inside:

  • Powerful and simplistic techniques like long shadow effect, pathfinder, pen tool and so much more

  • Flat design fundamentals to feed you with all the crucial information you need

  • Clear, concise and practical videos, that get you straight to the point

Picture yourself opening up Adobe Illustrator and looking at your wonderful flat design creation, that you did independently in just 15 minutes.

It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel confident to design independently.

It doesn’t even matter if you think, that your skillset is not enough.

Because, as one of my students, Sharon Yeo, put it:

As a complete beginner to Illustrator, this was a great course to help me quickly get started learning useful techniques in Illustrator and designing flat icons immediately. Builds confidence in being able to design flat icons independently!

There is no risk in just trying this course out. It’s completely refundable.

You are totally covered by an unconditional 30-day 100% money back guarantee.

So it’s up to you now.

Enroll in the course and become a flat design superstar.

Thanks,
Dawid

PS. This is what one of my students, Ioannis Tsiakos, had to say about this course:

Easiest way to learn flat icon design

I learnt more in one hour watching this course, than i would have if i had spent days reading online tutorials. Super easy to follow and great examples/ cases that illustrate how illustrator works and how designers think when approaching a flat icon design :) Recommended!

This course was fantastic! I used Adobe Illustrator 2025 and had no trouble keeping up with the lessons. Before taking this course, I was always intimidated by Illustrator and would often try to accomplish tasks in Photoshop instead. Now that I've completed the course, I feel confident in my ability to handle anything I need to in Illustrator.

By Jake Gibbs on 4/23/2018

Great instructor and definitely an expert with Illustrator. My only issue was by the end many of the tutorials felt similar in terms of what tools were being used. I would have liked to see more tutorials that explored more tools in Illustrator.

By Bertha Iredale on 11/30/2017

Great course for beginner to intermediate designers! Very useful to watch someone talk through their work process in a very simplified way. Though I've been working with Illustrator for years, with the help of this course, I've discovered several methods to speed up my work flow process and improve my overall approach to flat design. Definite recommend for anyone looking to familiarize their way around the program more efficiently without being intimidated or overwhelmed.

Great teacher! the lessons are perfectly structured and you can learn a lot of useful techniques. Some techniques are not for beginners and I think that if you are a beginner you need to start from a course that exposes every tool in depth first. The teacher in fact tells you to see his other courses many times, I think it should be specified in the course description.

By Carles Tenorio Quintana on 7/14/2017

ME GUSTO: -Cada leccion corresponde a un ejercicio practico. Con lo que hace el curso muy productivo - Los videos son cortos, pero muy precisos en contenido y explicacion. Hace seguir el curso de forma comoda, agil y motivadora - Ver las distintas tecnicas y consejos para agilizar la produccion de iconos vectoriales NO ME GUSTO: - Por decir algo, Quizas se agradeceria un ejercicio para hacer un personaje de cuerpo entero o estilo chibi, o un background de forma simple. Aun asi, el curso esta muy completo, practico, interesante y comodo de seguir

By Claudio Uribe on 3/20/2017

I haven´t finish yet, I´m at the middle at the course. I was a complete newbie in Illustrator, this course was my first approach. My background is self-learned Photoshop. This course for sure is funny, well explained and I recommended for beginners as for me I have had fun and learned a lot of valuable information and tips. I will update when finish, but right now so far so good!

By Paul Farnam on 2/28/2017

I found this course to be very helpful. Dawid delivers top-notch material on a topic without skipping the essential steps. As someone new to Illustrator, I struggled quite a bit trying to learn which tools to use and when. This course helped me connect the dots or should I say anchor points, and now I am creating the art I want without wasting hours fighting with the app.

I took Dawid's Illustrator web design course and while it was a little on the light side, he kept me interested as any good instructor should do. So, I decided to take this flat icon design course. First off, you should have at least a beginner's skill level. Meaning that you should have some familiarity with Illustrator UI and some idea of how to make basic shapes. I learned a great deal from this course. I learned how easy it can be to make flat icons. Most importantly, I learned techniques in shape building and using my brain and the tools that Illustrator provides. Techniques that I can apply to other uses in Illustrator. If you have Illustrator and have a beginner's level of understanding but aren't sure where to go next - take this course. It was well worth my time and money. Moving on to my next Dawid instructed course. :)

By Dennis Roberts on 1/4/2016

I had experience with other design programs and design in general, but almost none with Illustrator or vector graphics. Within a few hours of doing these lessons, I feel very comfortable. This course makes flat design super easy. I like the professor's fun and easy approach, but also appreciate the professionalism he fosters, specifically with encouraging the use of keyboard shortcuts, which is really the hallmark of a pro designer and makes designing and experimentation quicker and easier.

By Jonathan Ramos on 11/18/2015

I've completed all the lessons in this course. Truly amazing and inspiring. I have been playing around with illustrator before but it never clicked as most lessons were just about the tools but without any practical examples. This course has been really helpful in putting the everything together. Cant thank you enough. Really enjoyed this one.
