What Is an Adobe Illustrator Course?
It teaches you to create vector artwork with Adobe Illustrator, the industry-standard tool for logos, icons, illustrations and print layouts. This Adobe Illustrator graphic design course covers the workspace, selection, shapes, drawing tools, colour, type, layers, gradients, brushes, effects, symbols and exporting, with an AI tutor to help along the way.
What Will You Learn in This Illustrator Course?
Knowing the tools isn’t enough. Good vector design needs clean paths, a clear structure and files that are ready for wherever they’re going.
Open files, explore panels, change your view of the artwork, and move between artboards and multiple documents.
Select objects accurately, align and distribute them, group them and control stacking order so your artwork stays tidy.
Build artwork from basic shapes, combine and edit them, and use the Width tool. Then learn the Curvature, Pencil, Join and Pen tools for precise, flexible drawing.
Understand colour modes, apply and edit colour, and use Live Paint. Add and format text, create text styles, warp type, set it on a path and convert it to outlines. Add depth and style: Create gradients, blends and patterns. Use calligraphy, art, pattern, bristle and blob brushes, plus the Appearance panel, live effects and graphic styles.
Work with layers and clipping masks, reuse artwork with symbols, place and mask images, then package files, create PDFs and export artboards.

Practical Example: A Postcard from Scratch
The course’s first full project is creating artwork for a postcard. Here’s the process:
- Set up: Create a new document with the right size and settings.
- Build: Draw the main elements using basic shapes.
- Refine: Combine, edit and adjust the shapes and paths.
- Finish: Apply colour and any final details.
- Review: Check the layout, balance and clarity of the design.
The result: a finished piece of vector artwork, and a clear picture of how the later chapters build on these basics.
Based on the postcard project in Chapter 3.
