About this course

A short, practical start in Adobe Illustrator for artists who usually work in pixels. You set up artboards, fix the common beginner traps (a missing artboard, a canvas you can't click, a vector that looks pixelated), then build three app logos from circles, rectangles and the Shape Builder.

Requirements

Adobe Illustrator (desktop or iPad)
No design experience needed

Who it's for

Illustrators and painters who want clean vector logos and icons
Indie developers designing their own app icon
