Omg i stumbled on your videos, you are very active on the TUTVid on your website back in 2010, i was still a junior graphic designer and always on your website browsing for tutorials, and stumbling on your video at 12years later as a senior graphic designer makes me feel nostalgic to watch your videos!

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

[rotem..]

wow this was amazing!
and those little changes made such a huge difference. like having the letter the same height as icon. those tweaks are the difference between a designer and a good designer.
I could really see this guy's talent, even with the simplest of examples

When this video ended, I stood up and did a slow clap it was that good. So many helpful tips not just for a beginner user but also for the experienced Illustrator user that may not be aware of new features that have been recently added. My personal favorite was the touch type tip. I do a lot of logos with lettering involved and spacing between letters would sometimes become an issue when looking at the entire aesthetic of the design. This was previously being remedied by the kerning option under the character window but not anymore. I was today years old when I discovered Hamburger icons are very sneaky and will be relying on that option so much more moving forward. Thanks for making such an educational and quality video! You have earned my subscription.
