Illustrator tutorials

In this course, you’ll need moderately strong skills with Illustrator or another vector drawing tool. If you need to learn Illustrator, start working through the Illustrator essentials course on LinkedIn Learning. I’ve compiled a list of the most important tutorials. You’ll need to be using Illustrator by Week 05.
