00:00:00.06 --> 00:00:03.01

- Hello, this is Deke McClelland.



2

00:00:03.01 --> 00:00:07.01

Welcome to Illustrator

CC one-on-one mastery,



3

00:00:07.01 --> 00:00:10.08

the final installment in a

series of three video courses



4

00:00:10.08 --> 00:00:12.09

devoted to your absolute command



5

00:00:12.09 --> 00:00:16.07

of the world's most powerful

vector based drawing software.



6

00:00:16.07 --> 00:00:21.02

By which I mean, the one,

the only, Adobe Illustrator.



7

00:00:21.02 --> 00:00:23.07

As you know by now, the one-on-one promise



8

00:00:23.07 --> 00:00:27.04

is to turn you into the best

Illustrator user you know.



9

00:00:27.04 --> 00:00:29.02

Give me your time and attention,



10

00:00:29.02 --> 00:00:31.05

and I'll show you

everything you need to know



11

00:00:31.05 --> 00:00:33.05

in the order you need to know it.



12

00:00:33.05 --> 00:00:36.08

No credit classroom, no

scheduling conflicts.



13

00:00:36.08 --> 00:00:39.03

It's just you and me, one-on-one,



14

00:00:39.03 --> 00:00:42.04

any time that it's

convenient for you to learn.



15

00:00:42.04 --> 00:00:44.08

Here's how things are gonna go down.



16

00:00:44.08 --> 00:00:46.09

We'll begin with a look at a few ways



17

00:00:46.09 --> 00:00:50.03

you can upgrade Illustrator

to better suite your needs,



18

00:00:50.03 --> 00:00:53.03

starting with some time saving shortcuts.



19

00:00:53.03 --> 00:00:55.07

Next, we'll explore the

world of blend modes



20

00:00:55.07 --> 00:00:59.06

and opacity masks, which allow

you to creatively combine



21

00:00:59.06 --> 00:01:02.08

big things like entire

layers or little things



22

00:01:02.08 --> 00:01:05.06

like individual fills and strokes.



23

00:01:05.06 --> 00:01:09.00

We'll lose ourselves in the

vast and flexible realms



24

00:01:09.00 --> 00:01:12.08

of custom art brushes, seamlessly

repeating tile patterns,



25

00:01:12.08 --> 00:01:18.04

and multicolor, organic, even

photorealistic gradient mesh.



26

00:01:18.04 --> 00:01:22.01

I'll show you how to store

commonly used elements as symbols



27

00:01:22.01 --> 00:01:25.04

so that you can replicate them

as many times as you like,



28

00:01:25.04 --> 00:01:30.00

as well as set up specialty

elements like arrowheads.



29

00:01:30.00 --> 00:01:33.00

For those of you who need to

graph the occasional data,



30

00:01:33.00 --> 00:01:36.07

I'll show you how to do it

in sweet pictographic style.



31

00:01:36.07 --> 00:01:39.02

I devote an entire chapter to logos



32

00:01:39.02 --> 00:01:42.05

and specialty type effects,

and we'll wrap things up



33

00:01:42.05 --> 00:01:46.06

with a look at libraries, actions, and 3D.



34

00:01:46.06 --> 00:01:49.08

The result is a contextualized

training program



35

00:01:49.08 --> 00:01:51.09

in which you learn by doing.



36

00:01:51.09 --> 00:01:53.07

Illustrator's features make sense



37

00:01:53.07 --> 00:01:57.01

because you apply them

to clearly defined tasks.



38

00:01:57.01 --> 00:01:59.09

If I've done my job,

you'll leave each chapter



39

00:01:59.09 --> 00:02:02.03

with a sense of tangible accomplishment,



40

00:02:02.03 --> 00:02:04.05

armed with techniques that you can apply



41

00:02:04.05 --> 00:02:08.00

to your own marketable,

eye-popping projects.



42

00:02:08.00 --> 00:02:12.03

Learn how to do this and you'll

be able to do so much more.



43

00:02:12.03 --> 00:02:15.07

Now, as you know, Illustrator

CC is a fluid application



44

00:02:15.07 --> 00:02:19.03

that may update to any extent at any time.



45

00:02:19.03 --> 00:02:21.03

And the same goes for this course.



46

00:02:21.03 --> 00:02:24.05

What you're about to

watch is all together new.



47

00:02:24.05 --> 00:02:26.05

As of today, I have re-recorded



48

00:02:26.05 --> 00:02:28.09

the entire one-on-one trilogy,



49

00:02:28.09 --> 00:02:31.06

fundamentals, advanced, and mastery,



50

00:02:31.06 --> 00:02:35.07

complete with new projects

and brand new exercise files.



51

00:02:35.07 --> 00:02:38.03

As time goes on, I'll

sprinkle in new movies



52

00:02:38.03 --> 00:02:41.04

to address new features

and new ways to work.



53

00:02:41.04 --> 00:02:43.09

So be sure to come back

and check for new movies



54

00:02:43.09 --> 00:02:47.07

the next time you see your

copy of Illustrator update.



55

00:02:47.07 --> 00:02:50.02

With that, I release you to experience



56

00:02:50.02 --> 00:02:52.06

Illustrator's most powerful features



57

00:02:52.06 --> 00:02:56.03

as I truly hope you've never

experienced them before.



58

00:02:56.03 --> 00:03:00.08

Welcome to Illustrator

CC one-on-one mastery.
