You Know the Tools, But Your Work Still Doesn’t Feel Pro?

It's not your fault — Illustrator is powerful, but built for precision.

Most people give up when things don’t look right — not realising it’s a workflow issue, not a talent problem. In this course, you’ll learn how to truly control the tool, master pro techniques, and design with intention — not just intuition.

By the end of this course, you’ll confidently build logos, icons, and advanced vector artwork with structure, flow, and visual balance — and finally feel in command of your designs.

What You will Achieve

Design artwork you’re genuinely proud to show off

No more random shapes or guesswork — you’ll create bold, polished vector work that looks like it belongs in a professional portfolio.

Finally understand Illustrator — and actually use it like a pro

No fluff, no overwhelm. Every tool and workflow is explained clearly, so you can stop avoiding Illustrator and start making real design work.

Work faster, smarter, and with total control

You’ll stop fiddling with tools and start building designs with structure, flow, and confidence — even for complex layouts and branding projects.

What's inside the master class?

The examples below are just a tease of that's in store. Inside, you’ll find full workflows, real design projects, and everything you need to level-up.

Transform basic type into a bold, custom logo design

Stop settling for default fonts. Learn how to sculpt, tweak, and refine letterforms to create custom type that commands attention. You’ll master visual hierarchy, spacing, and advanced techniques to make your typography feel designed — not just added.

Create technical diagrams and pixel-perfect illustrations with precision

Stop eyeballing your shapes. Learn how to build clean, scalable artwork that holds up under scrutiny — whether it’s a complex diagram or detailed vector illustration. You’ll discover how to use Illustrator’s precision tools properly, so every anchor point, handle and line is exactly where it should be. Your work won’t just look good — it’ll be engineered to perfection.

Design icons and logos that actually look professional

Say goodbye to flat, forgettable shapes. You’ll learn how to design distinctive icons and logos that feel deliberate, balanced, and ready for any real-world application. From initial concept through to final vector — you’ll master the techniques the pros use to create marks that stand out in a sea of sameness.

Use grids and alignment systems to instantly elevate your designs

Make your work look tighter, smarter, and more intentional. You’ll learn how to use grids, guides, and alignment techniques that instantly raise the quality of your designs. Whether you’re creating a logo, layout or custom type, this is the secret to work that feels pro — even before the details are added.

Add depth, perspective and realism — beyond Illustrator's limitations

Flat design only gets you so far. In this section, you’ll learn how to add realistic depth, perspective and 3D lighting effects to your artwork — using creative techniques that go far beyond Illustrator’s native tools. Your designs will stop looking like flat vector art, and start looking like something you could hold in your hand.

Before
After

Create superior 3D graphics — and go from Illustrator to Dimension

Learn how to take flat vector designs and turn them into polished 3D visuals. You’ll discover how to build custom graphics in Illustrator, wrap them onto 3D models, and render realistic scenes using Adobe Dimension. Perfect for branding, packaging, or eye-catching product shots that feel clean, sharp and professional.

Even as a seasoned designer, I found this course useful.

Even as a seasoned designer, I found this course useful in just the first few lessons. There are so many little things that we are not taught in school that I am learning here. Dansky speaks very clearly and is incredibly knowledgeable making it easy to follow. I totally recommend for beginners especially, but to the experienced designer as well to learn more useful tips and tricks.
