Hi there, welcome to this
Adobe Illustrator Advanced course.
1

2
00:00:09,961 --> 00:00:13,461
My name is Dan,
and I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor...
2

3
00:00:13,486 --> 00:00:16,438
and Adobe Certified Expert in Illustrator.
3

4
00:00:16,781 --> 00:00:19,360
Now this is an advanced look
at Illustrator.
4

5
00:00:19,414 --> 00:00:22,414
So it's not for people who are
brand new to the software.
5

6
00:00:22,547 --> 00:00:25,750
It's for people who already
understand the fundamentals.
6

7
00:00:25,969 --> 00:00:29,031
If you already know what
an Anchor Point is, and how to adjust it...
7

8
00:00:29,064 --> 00:00:30,695
then this is the course for you.
8

9
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:33,417
Now on one hand, this course
is all about...
9

10
00:00:33,442 --> 00:00:36,548
getting your productivity, your speed,
and your work flow up.
10

11
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:38,727
On the other hand...
11

12
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:41,047
this course is kind of project based.
12

13
00:00:41,189 --> 00:00:45,351
We'll learn the tricks and tools
that we need to...
13

14
00:00:45,578 --> 00:00:46,930
kind of build some of those...
14

15
00:00:46,955 --> 00:00:50,110
really beautiful styles that are
trending in InDesign at the moment.
15

16
00:00:50,422 --> 00:00:54,257
So even if you consider yourself
a pretty heavy user of Illustrator...
16

17
00:00:54,282 --> 00:00:58,015
I promise, in this course,
I will blow your Illustrator mind.
17

18
00:00:58,516 --> 00:01:01,656
We'll learn advanced Anchor Points,
and Pen Tool tricks.
18

19
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:05,289
There's a little fun section
on mastering lines and strokes.
19

20
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:07,582
We'll learn the quick way to take...
20

21
00:01:07,607 --> 00:01:10,922
hand drawn sketches, then vectorize,
and color them.
21

22
00:01:11,141 --> 00:01:14,110
We'll master Depth and Perspective
in Illustrator.
22

23
00:01:14,142 --> 00:01:17,257
Creating semi flat presentations
like these.
23

24
00:01:17,406 --> 00:01:20,539
We'll set permanent default fonts
and colors...
24

25
00:01:20,564 --> 00:01:23,735
and turning that dreaded Hyphenation off
once and for all.
25

26
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:25,873
We'll learn how to take spreadsheets...
26

27
00:01:25,898 --> 00:01:30,024
and connect it with Illustrator to
make beautiful graphs and charts.
27

28
00:01:30,414 --> 00:01:32,023
There's a Color Mastering section...
28

29
00:01:32,703 --> 00:01:35,430
where you'll learn to make
quick color adjustments...
29

30
00:01:35,462 --> 00:01:38,710
Gradient missions, and blending it
all together nicely.
30

31
00:01:39,078 --> 00:01:41,141
Your creativity will be doubled...
31

32
00:01:41,166 --> 00:01:45,797
when you finish the Transform, Distort,
and Blending section of this course.
32

33
00:01:46,297 --> 00:01:47,312
Double, I tell you.
33

34
00:01:47,633 --> 00:01:49,475
There's an entire section in here...
34

35
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,399
dedicated to speeding up
your personal work flow...
35

36
00:01:52,524 --> 00:01:54,649
as well as speeding up Adobe Illustrator.
36

37
00:01:54,813 --> 00:01:58,234
Two tones, Repeating Patterns,
Advanced Typography.
37

38
00:01:58,445 --> 00:02:01,680
There's lots, I just want to go through
it all in the Intro...
38

39
00:02:02,024 --> 00:02:05,805
but I need to calm down till you check out
the outline for a full description.
39

40
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:09,734
Just one more, I promise it's a good one;
this one.
40

41
00:02:10,985 --> 00:02:12,610
Animated GIFs. Cool, huh!
41

42
00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:16,959
So if you know that there
is much more potential...
42

43
00:02:16,984 --> 00:02:19,375
to be unlocked  inside Adobe Illustrator...
43

44
00:02:19,624 --> 00:02:24,584
join me, and together we'll become
Adobe Illustrator super heroes, together.
