  • Illustrator CC Day 2: Pen Tool,Live Trace & Gradients

    Reviewed by Jeanne K. on 5/2/2017
    The instructor and course content was excellent, but I anticipated having an on-site instructor to interface with. I found the combination of on-site and off-site students with a remote instructor less efficient than what I expected. There were technical problems to be solved that took up some valuable time.

    Good, fast intro to the program and capabilities. Instructor is very knowledgeable. Says you only need CS6 but taught in cloud.
