Why Choose to Learn Adobe Illustrator?

Professional graphic designers who work with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator often have dedicated uses for both pieces of software. Generally, Photoshop is preferred when editing existing images and Illustrator is the go-to choice when creating graphics from scratch for printed media. Illustrator is typically considered to be the more advanced and versatile of the two, since it can be used to create many different graphics, including:

  • Illustrations
  • Logos
  • Icons
  • Line art
  • Charts
  • Graphs
  • Diagrams
  • Cartoons

Students may find that learning Adobe Illustrator is more challenging than Adobe's flagship raster graphics editor, Photoshop. Many who have experience creating advanced projects with Photoshop are surprised by Illustrator's notorious learning curve. Illustrator can present challenges to novices because of its precise functions and features and the fact that it is rarely used for basic projects. But a surefire way for beginners to learn how to use the software is to invest in professional Adobe Illustrator training for beginners that includes hands-on experience and help from knowledgeable instructors.

 

Adobe Illustrator Training for Beginners

Individuals who are totally new to Illustrator may need to learn the very basics of the software before being able to start, complete, and export projects. For these users, finding and working through tutorials that outline the fundamentals of the software's features and functions is imperative. Beginners may need to identify tutorials that teach them how to work with Illustrator's:

  • Interface
  • Toolbars
  • Selection tools
  • Brushes
  • Magic wand
  • Lasso
  • Fill and stroke functions
  • Zoom
  • Artboard

Historically, Adobe's official website has provided educational resources for individuals seeking basic introductions to their software, though it can be hard to get a thorough understanding of everything you need to know using these materials. You may also find a variety of materials elsewhere online, ranging from useful tips to outdated information. Paid courses offered by private companies specializing in providing software training are often the most useful and comprehensive educational resources available.
