Adobe Illustrator is a very useful vector based program. Some of the things you may do in it are: illustrations, logos, flyers and packaging. You'll need to have the program on your computer.
I have used it as a professional for over 20 years years.

Illustrator is an essential tool for any designer as Its vector focused format give it very little competition. Logos, minimalist art, and designs that are to be animated are a just a few areas that I would only use illustrator for. It is a difficult tool that when used well, can create some of the most appealing images a designer can create. With over 5 years of experience, I have developed a strong foundation with Illustrator. My lessons will focus on the aspects of Illustrator that separate it from other adobe products. My main specialty is Logos, Landscapes, and Pre-Production Animations. If you are interested feel free to message me anytime!

Illustrator can get a bit tricky.
Many people don't like to use it because it's not very user-friendly.
But with the help of some useful tips, life can be made a lot easier in Illustrator.
Attention: Illustrator is like sports - only 10% is theory, the remaining 90% is practice. For every hour of class, you should practice on your own for about 8 to 9 hours.
Skipping or significantly reducing the practice time will be equivalent to throwing your money away: if you don't take the time to repeatedly apply what you have learned in the class, I can guarantee you that you will forget everything you've learned and will not be able to make progress.
Minimum requirements for enrolling in this class: A desktop computer with Adobe Illustrator CC. Good internet connection.
Please read all Terms and Conditions on my profile main page in the "About" section.

Private Adobe Illustrator Lessons Near You
The world of graphic design has evolved much further than the clipart of yore, which might have been fun, but featured only lifeless, basic images. These types of images (such as jpeg, tiff, and gif) are designed to remain mostly static. Although they can withstand some enlarging, they're based on pixels and become distorted quite quickly.
Adobe Illustrator empowers graphic designers, visual artists, and marketers to create vector images, which can be infinitely shrunk or enlarged — without compromising the integrity or quality of the original image. This means a single logo image file, designed as a vector image in Adobe Illustrator, can be minimized to be used as an icon or blown up 10,000 times for use on a billboard. Both images remain crisp and clear. Imagine the possibilit
ies of having this kind of versatility (the ability to twist, turn, revise, edit, shrink, and grow) with any design you create. With Adobe Illustrator the visual possibilities and design applications are limitless!
Why Learn How to Use Adobe Illustrator?
In addition to having the ability to create highly versatile graphics, images, logos, and other designs, learning Adobe Illustrator opens up a myriad of professional opportunities in media arts and other industries. You can get hired on in the marketing department of a business in any industry. You could work as a designer for a graphic design company or handle graphics in a marketing agency. Professionals who know Adobe Illustrator also have opportunities in gaming and animation. You could even become an Adobe Illustrator teacher on TakeLessons!
With a background in Adobe Illustrator, you can start your own business, working as a freelance graphic designer. You can create fun, goofy images and put them on lapel pins or print them onto t-shirts, make posters, stickers, or stencils. In Adobe Illustrator, you can test the limits of your creativity in a limitless graphic environment.
The Best Way to Learn Adobe Illustrator and What You'll Study in Classes
Sure, it's easy to find free Adobe Illustrator classes online — even Adobe offers tutorials. The best way to learn, however, is with a private Adobe Illustrator tutor. With a private teacher's undivided attention, you'll get your questions answered quickly and be able to focus on the topics and features that interest you most.
Plus, no two private lessons are exactly alike! For example, you'll find that Adobe Illustrator classes for kids differ greatly in terms of content and teaching style from Adobe Illustrator lessons for adults. Your private teacher will keep you interested and motivated, while you learn efficiently at a pace that's comfortable for you.
Sample Curriculum for Beginner Adobe Illustrator
If you have little or no experience with Adobe Illustrator, then beginner lessons are for you. Your teacher will introduce you to the basics of the software and set you on a path for success — no matter your graphic design goals. In beginner classes, your teacher might cover the following topics:
- Understanding the fundamentals of vector images
- Navigating menus, panels, controls, and tools
- Design illustrations using simple shapes
- Draw lines and curves
Sample Curriculum for Intermediate Adobe Illustrator
If you have some familiarity with Adobe Illustrator or Adobe's other Creative Suite products, then you'll likely fare well in intermediate lessons. You'll build upon your basic knowledge and learn to create increasingly complex designs. In intermediate lessons, your Adobe Illustrator teacher might cover the following topics:
- Color and composition theory
- Gradients and blending
- Graphic figures
- Organize your artwork
- Logos and the golden ratio
Sample Curriculum for Advanced Adobe Illustrator
Advanced lessons are intended for students who already know their way around Adobe's software. In advanced lessons, you'll have a chance to workshop your designs with a professional and learn highly advanced techniques and tools. Subjects covered in advanced classes depend greatly on the student's individual goals and interests, but your teacher might choose to cover the following topics:
- Infographic design
- Mastering the pen tool
- Posing with puppet warp
- Making and using a custom brush
- Working with multiple-exposure images
