Adobe illustrator

Almost everything I watched was new to me. I had not really used Adobe illustrator before and this was helpful. I noticed that some of the applications wee similar in the manner that they were used in Adobe Photoshop. I found out how to use the type on a path tool- I knew it was possible to wrap around text on an object, but did not know the specifics. I learned how to use the advance settings for the shape, line, pencil, and eraser tools. Previously, I did not know that you could click on one spot and then determine your measurements for the object you are creating.

There were two videos that were helpful above the rest to me: selecting and manipulating objects and creating type on a path. I thought that selecting and manipulating objects is a key video to understand because if you master the concepts in that video then you can use them when learning the tools by applying what you just learned with experimentation. The creating type on a path was helpful in that it was different from a regular tutorial on a tool and taught me something I would not be able to easily find out by myself.

I found that the first presenter (videos 1-6) had a clearer voice and better diction. I think that in his videos scenarios that could come up were explained in better depth.
