Course Description

March 2023 Update

I've just added new videos to the course: you can now learn how to use the selection tools based on the latest, 2023 version of Illustrator. This is, by the way, just the first batch of new, upcoming videos that will give you an updated knowledge on all Illustrator tools. However, soon in the course you will find videos on how to use all the panels and effects, such as the Layers panel, the 3D effects etc. So stay tuned!

Have you ever started Illustrator and thought to yourself: Ok, so what do I do now?

And aren’t you tired of learning its tools over and over again hoping to finally get results at least close to the ones you can see on Behance or Dribble?

The truth is that Illustrator can be a frustrating program to learn with all its tools and options. Especially for beginners, who crave to kick off their design career.

I cannot count the hours back in the day when I was just starring at blank canvas and clicking on the tools trying to turn the image I had inside my head into a piece of graphic design reality.

But I felt that the harder I tried the more frustrated I got.

And then, one time, I thought to myself: There must be an easier way to learn all this!

Luckily – there was and it will be revealed to you in this course.

And the best part?

You don’t need any Illustrator experience to benefit from this course.

Because inside you will find almost 100 Illustrator gems that will

  • Save tons of your time by delivering concise yet detailed insight, making the Illustrator tools work for you, not against you. No fluff guaranteed.

  • Help you become a pro designer so you can get more, better paying clients.

  • Allow you to become a total superstar at one of the most in demand pieces of software in the ad and design industry today.

  • Take you step by step through all the options of each and every tool, so you don’t feel that something important was left out.

If you want to work smarter, not harder, you will be happy to hear that you don’t need to spend years to learn Illustrator.

All the lectures in this course are well organized, simple enough to understand and detailed enough to really learn something.

Although this course doesn’t promise to make you an Illustrator superstar overnight, it will put you on a fast track to becoming one (finally!).

It covers not only all Illustrator tools, but also tons of best practices used by the industry veterans.

Imagine yourself going for a design job interview and they ask you to show them what you got. They tell you: Here’s Illustrator. Create a logo.

And you just smile at them, grab the mouse and create a piece of Illustrator magic.

You can even hear their jaws dropping on the floor, because this is the first time someone they interviewed didn’t rush for the pen tool and started clicking like crazy.

And this is what this course is all about

I’ve put a lot of effort into creating this course, so you can feel the colossal change before and after taking it.

In this 5-hour long Illustrator treasure chest you will find:

  • More than 80 tools and literally hundreds of options to customize those tools

  • In-depth study of the most wanted Illustrator tools like the pen tool, the paintbrush tool or the gradient mesh

  • Comprehensive guide to tens of hidden gems, that will truly make you stand out from the crowd

  • Loads of practical examples so you can understand not only how it works, but also why it works

  • This course really lays out the differences in Illustrator tools along with all of the potential options within each one of them.

Finally you can master one of the most important design programs in the world and save thousands on expensive courses and books that talk to you about the tools, but leave you alone with more questions than answers.

And in case you don’t like the course, you can always get your money back.

You are fully protected by a 100% money back guarantee.

And no one will ask for a reason.

Now is the time to finally discover everything that Illustrator offers… and hides.

Enroll in the course and I will see you inside!

I used Illustrator for years and ignored many tools I could've been using. Getting introduction and functions of tools I've used gave usage details I needed. I learned a lot of things I didn't know. I highly recommend this course for a beginner, intermediate and advanced.

By Kathy Ray on 9/20/2019

it does not allow me to use the option while taking the course... and it is a lot of information for a newbie... but i will just take it over again to retain the information

By Anonymized User on 5/21/2019

Great course to explore the Illustrator tools! I have enjoyed this Illustrator course by Dawid very much so far, although I am not a beginner to Adobe Illustrator. But I could gather further valuable information and tricks about the tools in Illustrator. Thank you so much, Dawid.

By Kaytlyn Pickering on 4/25/2019

A boring topic made short and sweet so you dont lose focus. Everything youd expect from this subject but helps with understanding what and why the tools do what they do. The instructor is easy to listen to and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend for beginners wanting to know the tools before jumping in.

By Atamyrat Imamgulyyev on 10/25/2018

For someone who used Corel for years and intentıonally avoided Illustrator, this course showed the core differences between similar looking tools. information on every tool is very informative, super short but explains the logic and the usage of a tool. Thank you, David, you saved me from weeks of headache adapting to new software.

By Bev Donohoe on 9/25/2018

Illustrator is a very complex programme to learn and understand. Having at least an overview of the various tools available within Illustrator and what they can do is giving me an understand of the possibilities of Illustrator. It is also giving me an understanding of where I need to look if things aren’t working as I think they should be. Explanations in the tutorials are clear and precise.????????

By Melissa Neff on 10/31/2017

I have been using Illustrator for years, never moving past intermediate level experience because I just never found an in depth tutorial for going through all the tools. I feel more experienced working with Dawid through the lessons. I learned to work faster using some of the tools that I never wanted to delve into for lack of education. I look forward to the effects course!

By James Pourtemour on 8/26/2017

Information is brief, and to the point. The course doesn't deal with changing keyboard shortcuts, or advanced options - this course is meant to give you a description of the actual tools by themselves and how to use them on a basic level. At times the instructor shows you tricks or shortcuts to make the program easier to use. Great course if you want to jump in and get your feet wet with the tools only.

By Dani Greer on 5/8/2017

Mostly on-point, but a tiny bit hard to understand and follow what is happening with the cursor. Keep in mind this is my very first introduction to Illustrator, so I'm a bit in overwhelm. Will keep plowing ahead. Halfway through, I'm seeing some tools/options that look quite exciting. It's helpful to not let too much time elapse between lessons.

By Beau Meier on 4/7/2017

Very good course, I enjoyed it and learned a lot about the program. He goes into very good detail about the different tools without having the lecture be too long. I have a lot to practice with the program, but have awesome notes because of Dawid. I would definitely encourage someone who is interested in Illustrator to take this course
