Description

Hello and welcome to Adobe Illustrator Course.

Illustrator is one of the most used software by artists.

With it, you can create a variety of digital and printed images, including cartoons, charts, diagrams, graphs, logos, and much more.

My name is Youssef Zidan, and I will be leading you throughout this course.


What is different about this course?

There are thousands of Illustrator Courses online, why you should take this one?

There are two kinds of teaching methods, the first one is by telling you how the tool works and that’s it, which is not a bad method, yet it’s not perfect.

Because the student needs to know how to use this tool in a real project to fully understanding.


And the other method is teaching the tool directly in a project, which is also a good method but also not perfect because students might get lost between learning the tool itself and doing the project, especially because making a project, even if it’s a simple one, requires more than one tool.


So in this course, I merged the two methods, each chapter we will talk about a specific topic, and explain all the fundamental tools and options individually, then we will use what we’ve learned and more by making a simple project.


So, that way we get the best of the two worlds.

This course is divided into chapters.

Each chapter talks about a specific topic.

I highly recommend walking through each chapter one by one because each chapter depends on the chapters before it.

At the end of this course, you will be making 8 different projects that you can put in your resume.


You will have 30 Days' money-back if you dislike this course.

Also, each lecture has English Subtitles if your native language isn't English or if you don't understand my accent.


So, What are you waiting for? Enroll now and meet me in the first lesson.


Who this course is for:

  • Graphic Designers
  • Artists
  • Anyone wants to learn a new skill
  • The people who has knowledge about Adobe Photoshop

Learning and Teaching is what I do and it’s what I’m good at.

During life journey, I was struggling to find my talent, I didn't really know what I am best with.   

So what I did is learning a lot of skills in many different fields.

I started with Graphic Applications, I learned Photoshop and Illustrator then I felt I need to learn Photography and I transitioned to music, I learned how to play the Guitar and I found Web Development will be such a great skill to learn, and much more, I learned all that during my University study as an Interior Designer.

But I didn't really find something to fulfill my passion.

Then I found out that what satisfies me is not a particular skill, it’s learning itself, and teaching what I’ve learned.

I found out that most of my time and money wasted on learning new skills and taking new courses in different fields.

One day I was with my friends talking about talents and everyone must have a talent he is good at.

One of them told me that your talent is learning, you are studious and eager to learn new things.

And since then I started working much harder about my talent.

So I started teaching my best skill that I know which is Photoshop.

I taught in local institutes and made a huge success with very happy students.

So I found it will be great to share my passion online and do it for a living.
