I can’t tell you how many online tutorials I’ve found covering tools that I’ve learned once in school and literally have never used again. The problem is though, that just because you learn every single tool and function, doesn’t mean you’ll ever use all of them.

It’s just such a powerful tool and you could probably spend years learning it all and still find something you've missed. Legitimately, I think even as a professional graphic designer I've probably only ever used about half of Illustrators full capabilities. Here’s the thing, you can do a TON with Adobe Illustrator. So whether you’re an aspiring designer or a business owner looking to improve your graphics and branding, you’re in the right spot! Let’s get right now it, shall we?ġ | Start with just the basics and essentials Once you know how to use Illustrator, it will be way easier to transfer those skills to InDesign or Photoshop later for more specialized projects. Not only can it design both print and web graphics (whereas the others only specialize in one or the other), it’s also the most straightforward to use and has the most transferable skill set. Illustrator is by far the most versatile program of the Adobe Creative Suite and I highly recommend learning it first before you learn any of the others.
