    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

    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!

    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.

    Cool tips. Love #1 & #11! For Pen tool, I prefer to ignore tangents (for the most part) while building; instead get them close (sometimes not even dragging tangent handles), and then use the Anchor Point tool (CTRL+C) and/or Direct Selection tool to then massage the Beziers more easily. Also, use shapes as much as possible and fuse them together with Unite or Shape Builder. Much faster than worrying about every single tangent as you go. Sometimes uniting can cause some CRAZY anchor points, so next time I run into that I'm going to see if the Smooth tool will help! Global colors also allow you to work with tints. :) I really wish the CTRL+D also worked in Photoshop!!!
