Through in-depth explanation and step-by-step instructions, you will learn Illustrator's interface, drawing tools, transformation techniques, color creation, appearance setting, effects and file preparation to express your visual ideas for print and digital devices. Prerequisites: basic computer skills and Windows proficiency.
