Pixelmator - Create Vector Graphics From Scratch (Udemy.com)

I have just started the course. I’m a long time user of Pixelmator and currently using version 3.9.9 classic and I am still learning things. I never managed to figure out how to make vectors so this course is great for me. I’m looking forward to learning more enough to be able to make my own vector graphics in the future.

la versione di pixelmator è un po' datata non riesco a trovare con facilità i menù e i comandi

I enjoyed seeing how the instructor created the icon artwork, especially using the shape tools. My problem is that I have Pixelmator Pro, and could not install Pixelmator Classic. Both programs are different enough that it was challenging when following the instructions. Would be nice to have the updated course available.

I knew nothing of Pixelmator (or vector graphics) when I started this course. It seems well-suited to my level of (in)experience, and is teaching me the basics of the Pixelmator tool set and how to use them to accomplish basic graphics tasks, which is what I needed to know.

The course showed me how to use the vector based part of Pixelmator. If you want to design an Icon or some basic symbols this course is the right one. I wanted to be able to design whole Flyer or brochures but that's not really covered in the course. So learning by doing now...

I have used Pixelmator for a few years now... without understanding or using any of it's vector capabilities. Joe's tutorial has provided me with much food for thought. I now have a solid handle on vector basics. I am particularly excited about the ability to modify text as shapes.

I've been using Pixelmator for several years, but never understood how to use the vectors and shapes. Even before the course got into those topics, I learned several very helpful tricks I had totally overlooked in the past! The instruction is clear and easy to follow, with lots of follow-the-leader exercises to show you how to use the many tools and tricks. Thanks for a great course!

I am so happy that I took this course and am excited to apply all of the tools learned. There were some minor differences in the versions, but nothing significant. My advice would be to watch on a different device. I had to stop and pause a lot throughout since I was watching and using Pixelmator on the same screen. Thanks so much for the great course!

Wow! I've owned Pixelmator for a while now and this course has been enlightening as to how I can use it for work even more than I thought originally. Mac makes it so easy and the dragging and dropping seems like magic. These simple steps create one powerful tool. This course has been invaluable to me in learning these little things.

The instructor's delivery was good and the production quality was better than I expected. The course's content is very limited, focusing on creating vector shapes for the most part, using existing shapes as a starting point. If you're looking for a thorough discussion on Pixelmator's vector capabilities or more content on the artistic side of designing with vectors, then this isn't that course. I would still recommend it as an introduction, which I believe was the intent, especially for hobbyists and those trying to get a good feel for this particular program's capabilities. My only constructive criticism would be that it seems some of the paths or steps the instructor led us down with the program's interface when working on a task seemed like the "long way" to accomplish the end goal. In those cases, I had trouble seeing the educational value of doing things that way, so I'm going to chalk it up to individual preference. It's not enough for me to discourage anyone from taking the course if you're looking to get an idea regarding Pixelmator's (or Vectormator's) vector capabilities or to get your feet wet with vector graphics. And I appreciated the tips on using the shapes and styles palettes. Some of those will definitely come in handy. Overall a good course if you take it for the right reason.
