You’ve opened Illustrator, but everything feels overwhelming?
You’re not alone — Illustrator is powerful, but not always intuitive at first.
From strange tool names to confusing panels and settings, it’s easy to feel lost. But you don’t need to learn everything — just the tools that actually matter for real design work.
In this course, you’ll learn how to use Illustrator to create logos, icons, posters and vector artwork step by step. By the end, you’ll feel confident turning ideas into clean, scalable designs — and actually enjoy the process.
What you'll achieve
Very soon you'll be able to...
Design pro-level shapes and icons with precision.
Most people get shape-building wrong — but not you. Learn the exact tools, shortcuts and workflows for crafting clean, professional shapes that form the foundation of high-quality icon and logo design.
Turn basic shapes into expressive illustrations.
Master the essentials of building and colouring vector artwork. You’ll go from flat lines to bold, characterful illustrations — and gain the skills to create your own graphic style from scratch.
Create beautiful type with detailed effects.
Learn how to design better typography, and take it further with artistic effects like stippling, shadowing and depth — giving your type a textured, handcrafted feel that sets your designs apart.
Build 3D mockups with your own custom graphics.
Create patterns, icons and illustrated elements, then apply them to your own 3D models. You’ll learn the full mockup process — from design to rendering — so you can present your work like a pro.
Design posters that grab attention.
See how to take an idea and turn it into a polished, eye-catching poster. You’ll explore composition, layout, and how to make your design pop while still feeling clean and intentional..
