Got a head start on the video watching on Lynda! A brief summary:
I haven't really used Illustrator, only for my digital classes. For the most part, Illustrator, Photoshop, and other painting programs are very similar to one another in terms of command keys as well as the things each can do. With these videos, they were kind of a re-introduction to a program I am more or less familiar with. Re-learning and being re-introduced isn't a bad thing, however! The one thing I didn't realize was the difference between Vector art and Raster based pixels- or more so, the correct terms for pixel art. Illustrator can come in handy with art in terms of being completely clear and crisp, while Photoshop and other art programs will always have the pixel based remains. Something to keep in mind, I think! In the following videos, I was given a brief tour of Illustrator- where several of the tools were, how to hide and find certain information on the bottom of Illustrator, and also how exactly to create guidelines and use the ruler and graph options. A lot of other things were mostly to refresh the mind- like how to re size, rotate, and locking and hiding whatever artwork is on the current art board layer.
