8 Must-Know Tricks to Master Adobe Illustrator in 2024

Entertaining and extremely attractive. I learned something, I admit. Should you keep making education videos? Oh yes. Without the shirt though, for maximum retention of the presentation.

great Tricks you learn here for last trick you can press esc bottom once to reset the artboard view and that's faster.

special thanks for the last one

Question struggling with duplicating and mirroring an object and want to place the exact same distance from the center guide but on the other side of the center guide, is there an easy way to do this?

Amazing

WoW

Why not use blend on the tree shape then expand?

it blew my mind!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy to know that I was familiar with some of these & I also learned new things! Cheers!

This is great! Thank you.

WoW! thanks master!!!

really hate that smudges on screen when you move some elements... sometimes the nodes leaving traces

That extension of one three lines has logic in it. You moved an anchor point. Move is a transformation in Illustrator. Transform Again is just repeating the last transformation (Move in this case). Great video. I like it. 😊

Wow, there are some really useful tips in the video that will save me a lot of time. Thank you. I did some research and found something very interesting. The reason you can't directly apply a gradient to text without converting it to shapes, for example, is because of the complexity involved in rendering text, editing, and handling fonts. To overcome this limitation and apply a fill in the Appearance panel, you're essentially using a technique called "layered appearance."

By adding a new fill to the text through the Appearance panel, you're essentially adding a new layer of styling on top of the text. This new fill becomes an independent layer of styling separate from the inherent text properties. This separation helps to avoid conflicts and limitations associated with directly applying gradients to text.

The extend trick is soo useful! I use Autocad, and other architectural softwares and all can do this in a click…I felt Illustrator must have a capability to do this too! Thanks a million!

Brilliant video, as always. Also you're welcome

I used to get that weird screen artifact thing (from example one) all the time in illustrator when I was on an Intel Mac. It drove me up the wall, and I spent countless hours searching for solutions or even causes. Never got to the bottom of it, but since switching to an M2 Mac Studio I don't get it at all anymore. I can only surmise that it's a graphics card compatibility issue when running two screens (didn't get it when I used my built in screen on my laptop). One Adobe employee did however give me a keyboard shortcut to get rid of it: Command E

I had asked for rotate canvas view in illustrator since the 90s, they finally added it a year ago, so necessary in doing upside down panels in package design.

Nice Tips!

Love your tips! Thanks👌👍

Ayyyyyyyyye ✌🏾😊
