Excellent course.
Excellent course. A great way to extend the knowledge from the beginners course, although arriving at the course with a good amount of knowledge of the basics is definitely recommended.

I have used Illustrator for many years but feel I have learned more in this lesson on how to correctly use Adobe Illustrator, than I have a few years working in my current job.
