This class is designed to reveal basic skills for using Adobe Illustrator. I'll be sharing all the insights I wish I discovered early on in the design game. I chose this topic because as a graphic designer, I have seen so many benefits to using Adobe Illustrator for many kinds of art. I've used it to create logos, posters, stickers, clothing, magazine covers, website layouts, animation, and so much more. It's all about learning how much you can achieve with the tool, and it's truly incredible. Once you understand how to use this amazing program, there's no limit to what you can create. I wish this class could be your game-changing moment.

My addiction to illustration has been around for as long as I can remember. My mom described me as a curious kid, always wandering around empty rooms attempting to touch everything. She was often surprised by my level of creativity, especially when I started scribbling on everything I got my hands on. I noticed my true potential for art in high school. At that time, I could literally draw anything off the top of my head. I won school competitions and even did work for my professor’s business. In the beginning, I continually searched for what I could do with it. I even worked toward becoming a book illustrator, but I wanted something more. I wanted to explore the realm of graphic design and started teaching myself Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects, using any online tutorial I could find. The results were outstanding and definitely impacted my career; that's when I finally started seeing the fruits of my labor.

Being versatile as an artist is fundamental these days. To do this, it is essential to keep up with new technology. Art constantly evolves, and remember, artificial intelligence is catching up quickly. So to maintain your work relationships, you need to stand out from the crowd by always creating something unique using the newest technology available. This industry is very competitive. Check me out, for example; I started out with some markers and a few pieces of paper, and today, I create digital illustration, Animation, AR, graphic design, and a bit of 3D on the side. This helps me receive more attention from the various clients I have.
