I cannot thank you ENOUGH. as someone that has wanted to dip their toes in the Graphic design pool, you made this very beginner friendly. I'm actually not struggling and enjoying this whole process.

I hate illustrator because I just can't understand it but I swear you've helped me so much, I get it now, it's so cool the way that you're teaching by making it a little more fun and at the same time you're covering so many tools and topics, thank you so much <3 please keep making tutorials

I've found that the easiest way to make an arch is to make a rectangle, select only the two corners you want rounded with the direct selection tool, (clicking on the circles with a little dot in the middle, not the anchor points themselves) with shift+click, and after they're selected, you drag the circles to the very middle, until both become a single red circle. Boom, perfect arch, one of my favorite shapes.

I never comment on YT vids, but I had to join in and say how how helpful this tutorial was. I feel like the most you find when you're searching tutorials is how to use a specific tool, rather than taking you step by step through a simple project. The only question I have after watching is about where you get your fonts from. Are your favorite fonts ones that you've purchased from foundries? Or do peruse in the world of free fonts?
