Want to get started learning Illustrator, but feel overwhelmed? Check out "Getting Started With Illustrator," the first Illustrator manual from MakeUseOf and TrueKolor.net. With easy-to-follow instructions and plenty of annotated screenshots, this manual makes learning Illustrator simple.
Unlike Photoshop, which stores image information in dots, Illustrator uses mathematical equations when you draw shapes. Vector drawings can be scaled to fit skyscraper-size banners; raster images cannot. Because of this, Illustrator is used to make drawings that needs to scale easily - things like logos.
Our latest manual includes:
Learning where things are in the Illustrator workspace
Basics of logo design, including step-by-step examples of which tools to use for what.
Step-by-step instructions with easy-to-follow, annotated screenshots.
Everything from basic drawing to rounded corners to effects to rotating to circles.
