1
00:00:00.07 --> 00:00:02.09
- In this course, we've had
a chance to come to terms

2
00:00:02.09 --> 00:00:06.00
with some amazing and essential concepts,

3
00:00:06.00 --> 00:00:10.04
things like lines, shapes,
fill, stroke, color,

4
00:00:10.04 --> 00:00:13.05
shape building, round
corners, the pencil tool,

5
00:00:13.05 --> 00:00:16.01
the curvature tool, the pen tool,

6
00:00:16.01 --> 00:00:20.00
not to mention text and
the wonderful Wizard of Oz.

7
00:00:20.00 --> 00:00:22.05
Did you read that chapter,
the one about the tin woodman?

8
00:00:22.05 --> 00:00:24.06
That scarecrow cracks me up.

9
00:00:24.06 --> 00:00:28.01
Anyway, I hope it feels like
you made some serious progress

10
00:00:28.01 --> 00:00:29.09
and like you had a chance to build

11
00:00:29.09 --> 00:00:32.01
some exciting, hands-on projects.

12
00:00:32.01 --> 00:00:34.09
I remember when I first
started using Illustrator.

13
00:00:34.09 --> 00:00:37.03
I had some sketchy results, which is why

14
00:00:37.03 --> 00:00:39.07
I created one-on-one in the first place,

15
00:00:39.07 --> 00:00:42.01
so your experience would be more expedient

16
00:00:42.01 --> 00:00:44.05
and more satisfying than mine.

17
00:00:44.05 --> 00:00:46.02
Meanwhile, if you're feeling like,

18
00:00:46.02 --> 00:00:49.02
"Hey man, I'm exhausted.
I've had enough," I get it.

19
00:00:49.02 --> 00:00:51.05
You don't need me saying this,
but you have my permission

20
00:00:51.05 --> 00:00:53.08
to cut loose any time you like.

21
00:00:53.08 --> 00:00:55.06
Well, actually you don't.

22
00:00:55.06 --> 00:00:57.07
I'm not the boss of you,
but here's the thing.

23
00:00:57.07 --> 00:01:01.00
If you stop now, you're going
to miss some amazing stuff,

24
00:01:01.00 --> 00:01:02.06
some of the best stuff there is,

25
00:01:02.06 --> 00:01:06.02
stuff like pathfinder
operations, the appearance panel,

26
00:01:06.02 --> 00:01:10.01
layers and stacking order,
gradients, live paint,

27
00:01:10.01 --> 00:01:14.07
dynamic effects, blend modes,
patterns, pictographs, logos.

28
00:01:14.07 --> 00:01:16.01
Seriously, look at me.

29
00:01:16.01 --> 00:01:18.09
I'm totally out of fingers,
but, whatever you do,

30
00:01:18.09 --> 00:01:21.02
it's been my immense
pleasure sharing my knowledge

31
00:01:21.02 --> 00:01:22.09
of Illustrator with you.

32
00:01:22.09 --> 00:01:25.06
On behalf of LinkedIn and Lynda.com,

33
00:01:25.06 --> 00:01:29.08
this is Deke McClelland
hoping to see you real soon.
