00:00:00.00 --> 00:00:02.04

- Hello, this is Deke McClelland.



2

00:00:02.04 --> 00:00:06.00

Welcome to Illustrator

CC One on One Advanced.



3

00:00:06.00 --> 00:00:08.08

Part two in a series

of three video courses



4

00:00:08.08 --> 00:00:11.05

devoted to your ultimate

mastery of the world's



5

00:00:11.05 --> 00:00:14.03

most powerful vector-based

drawing software.



6

00:00:14.03 --> 00:00:18.03

By which I mean, the one,

the only, Adobe Illustrator.



7

00:00:18.03 --> 00:00:20.08

The One on One promise is to turn you



8

00:00:20.08 --> 00:00:23.05

into the best Illustrator user you know.



9

00:00:23.05 --> 00:00:26.02

For starters, you'll have

me, a seasoned professional



10

00:00:26.02 --> 00:00:29.00

with more than 30 years of

digital arts experience,



11

00:00:29.00 --> 00:00:32.07

and more than 80 video

courses here at Lynda.com.



12

00:00:32.07 --> 00:00:36.04

If that's not enough, I started

using Illustrator in 1987,



13

00:00:36.04 --> 00:00:39.00

the year it came out, and

I've been writing books



14

00:00:39.00 --> 00:00:42.03

and recording videos about

this program ever since.



15

00:00:42.03 --> 00:00:45.02

Year in, year out, I've

never missed an update.



16

00:00:45.02 --> 00:00:47.02

But of course, to make things work,



17

00:00:47.02 --> 00:00:49.01

I'm gonna need your help as well.



18

00:00:49.01 --> 00:00:51.01

Give me your time and attention



19

00:00:51.01 --> 00:00:53.03

and I'll show you

everything you need to know



20

00:00:53.03 --> 00:00:55.05

in the order you need to know it.



21

00:00:55.05 --> 00:00:58.05

No crowded classroom and

no scheduling conflicts.



22

00:00:58.05 --> 00:01:01.06

It's just you and me, one on one, any time



23

00:01:01.06 --> 00:01:03.08

that it's convenient for you to learn.



24

00:01:03.08 --> 00:01:07.04

Now, as you may know, one-on-one

is project based learning.



25

00:01:07.04 --> 00:01:10.00

That is to say you learn by doing.



26

00:01:10.00 --> 00:01:12.06

You'll start by converting

some scanned line art



27

00:01:12.06 --> 00:01:15.01

to scaleable vector based path outlines



28

00:01:15.01 --> 00:01:18.04

using Illustrator's automated

image-trace feature.



29

00:01:18.04 --> 00:01:21.05

You'll create compelling

artwork from almost nothing,



30

00:01:21.05 --> 00:01:24.07

it's flat out magical,

using the Appearance panel.



31

00:01:24.07 --> 00:01:27.04

You'll make a star logo,

this thing right here,



32

00:01:27.04 --> 00:01:30.06

using the Transformation

tools, you'll create your own



33

00:01:30.06 --> 00:01:33.08

one-of-a-kind emoji

with the Gradient tool,



34

00:01:33.08 --> 00:01:36.09

you'll draw this interwoven

ribbon with Live Paint,



35

00:01:36.09 --> 00:01:40.04

and you'll turn a circle into

this elaborate origami flower



36

00:01:40.04 --> 00:01:44.01

with the help of Illustrator's

unparalleled dynamic effects.



37

00:01:44.01 --> 00:01:46.07

The result is a contextualized

learning program.



38

00:01:46.07 --> 00:01:50.05

Illustrator's features are about

to make crystal clear sense



39

00:01:50.05 --> 00:01:53.01

because you apply them,

sometimes independently,



40

00:01:53.01 --> 00:01:56.08

other times in concert,

to a clearly defined task,



41

00:01:56.08 --> 00:01:59.07

and you leave each chapter

with a sense of accomplishment.



42

00:01:59.07 --> 00:02:01.09

I really hope there are

moments where you feel,



43

00:02:01.09 --> 00:02:04.08

I rule, I can do this, and I can do more.



44

00:02:04.08 --> 00:02:06.06

One last item.



45

00:02:06.06 --> 00:02:09.00

Now that Illustrator is part

of Adobe's ever-changing



46

00:02:09.00 --> 00:02:12.02

creative cloud, the old

self-contained version number



47

00:02:12.02 --> 00:02:14.03

updates of the past have been supplanted



48

00:02:14.03 --> 00:02:18.02

by an ongoing stream of frequent

and nimble enhancements.



49

00:02:18.02 --> 00:02:21.00

And just as Illustrator

is a fluid application,



50

00:02:21.00 --> 00:02:23.01

this is a fluid course.



51

00:02:23.01 --> 00:02:25.01

The entire One on One trilogy,



52

00:02:25.01 --> 00:02:27.02

Fundamentals, Advanced, and Mastery,



53

00:02:27.02 --> 00:02:29.08

every last movie is altogether new,



54

00:02:29.08 --> 00:02:33.02

complete with new projects

and brand new exercise files.



55

00:02:33.02 --> 00:02:36.03

As time goes by, I'll

sprinkle in new movies



56

00:02:36.03 --> 00:02:39.06

to address new features as

well as new ways to work.



57

00:02:39.06 --> 00:02:42.02

So be sure to come back

and check for new movies



58

00:02:42.02 --> 00:02:45.05

the next time you see your

copy of Illustrator update.



59

00:02:45.05 --> 00:02:48.01

And with that, I release you to experience



60

00:02:48.01 --> 00:02:50.04

some of Illustrator's

most powerful features



61

00:02:50.04 --> 00:02:54.02

as I truly hope you've never

experienced them before.



62

00:02:54.02 --> 00:02:59.00
