Started with the basics: what illustrator is, how to navigate illustrator, where the tools are, how the menus work, how to save your artwork, using rulers and guides, different options for print or web files, preview options, etc.
Went into more detail on how to use specific tools and panels like moving panels around for easier access, creating guides or grids to help place or measure locations for objects, how to use specific tools like the lasso tool, magic wand tool, zoom tool, point tool, etc.
Working with how to create shapes, dashes, arrows. How to fill or stroke objects. Conjoining paths in artwork, hiding art boards or locking them to work around objects without moving something accidentally.
How to use the type tool and create text, edit the text, converting text into paths or different alignments.
How to transform your artwork like re sizing, changing colors, moving line points, different appearance options like the pucker or twirl tool, creating paths with multiple objects repeated into a pattern, reflecting options and duplicates.
I am actually very new to using illustrator and these videos were very helpful. I will definitely refer back to these videos if I need help using a specific tool or function.
