    I’ve been using Illustrator since version 5.0 back in the 1990s. Every now and then I look for videos like this because my son has been wanting to add Illustrator to his list of programs he can work with. He designs logos in Photoshop and I keep telling him he needs to make them vector. This is an excellent starting point! And I actually never realized you could see where specific tools were nested by using the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar! I’ve created custom toolbars a number of times but never saw that. Thanks!

    Hello there! I have decided to subscribe to your “ Adobe Illustrator explainer series”. My question is. Would it be better to start off with a Mac iBook or the Mac iPad? And does this series work for either?
