This is a guide for any beginner in Illustrator. What I focused on was explaining the tools you'd probably want to know about, because the hardest part of learning a new program is knowing what it's capable of doing. I did omit some things like blends but oh well, that's what rule 4 is for :D

This is intended to teach incoming graphic artists at my high school's newspaper, which is why you see a couple extra stuff on it like spot colors and the subheading, heh.

Here, you can find some of the links that I mentioned:

I can't even begin to tell you how helpful this is. I asked my professor if she knew illustrator and she was like "that is not my forte. Google it." This gave me JUST the information I needed, thanks!!!

Great to see it's going to good use ^__^ A lot of great Illustrator tutorials have cropped up in recent years, but I remember it used to be so hard to find good concise resources.

Even though I think you showed me and my friends how to use Illustrator in that Web Design class some years ago, I never knew how to use it. LOL... THANK YOU 8)
