@@maryamayub359 well i had the same issue here and tried several ways to solve it by downloading several browsers and it didn't work... but here is the only effective way to download that , open it and save it to your dropbox and install dropbox app to your PC and sync all saved files and it will downloaded automatically ... if id doesn't work , i personally launched dropbox on my cell phone and downloaded it on my mobile first (( using mobile data , and dnt ask why )) but it couldn't be downloaded through WiFi but try it in all ways ... then copy the file from your phone to your PC and it will work properly then .
For those using 2022-2023 versions, you might need to pick Essentials Classic workspace instead of just Essentials. Classic is closer to what you will see in the video.
Is it true?? I need a serious reply since I am thinking about taking design next year in college! If i could learn everything on youtube I will not apply for that in uni just to throw 300000 around when i can learn that for free!
Whoa Cipmunk!!! Just because he learned faster here, that doesnt consider the credit you will receive, or the degree if that is your major! A portfolio will only go so far
Whoa no definitely go into school for it if you wish!! It may be expensive but the degree is worth it. And don't listen to just me, you might do better in a class! And a big piece of advice - don't listen to anyone who tells you a design degree isn't "worth it". It's a big decision, but doing what you love is extremely important. And, youtube tutorials are always good no matter what you do - sometimes we just need another perspective on a subject.
Become an online freelancer and learn from youtube. Post your portfolio on your profile. This is what you will be doing anyway. And companies care about how good your work is not your degree. If you have the money to pay for UNI, use it to start a business and travel the world. Trust me 10 years from now you won't regret.
TastyTuts | Creative video tutorials by Gareth David Sir, ThankYou so much for putting all this stuff together for us. Really appreciate the effort! Thanks for Sharing your knowledge!
If you cannot see the main control panel at the top of the screen, try changing to "essentials Classic' mode on the dropdown menu option to the top right of the illustrator window, if it's listen as something else such as 'Essentials ' or 'Web." It didn't show up for me until i selected this view, even after a reset. Might be of use to someone. Thanks for the tutorial!
One thing to add for the more recent version: if you are missing tools- click the ellipses at the bottom of the tools panel, click the three lines at the top of the next panel, change to “advanced” from basic. Common problem with more recent updates. Also- the control panel functions now as the properties panel.
such clarity and clear progression i haven't seen anywhere in tutorials, please please tell me you branch out into after effects and the rest of the creative suite, the best, absolute best refresher/new beginner course
THANK YOU for these tutorials, Gareth!! I'm brand new to Illustrator and they are helping me so much. You explain beautifully and your instructions are clear and concise. There is so much learning material on AI and so much room for immense confusion, but your lessons make it possible for us "newbies" to also get it right ;) And for making all of these lessons FREE! :))) Thank you for all of your hard work in preparing these lessons for us! All the best!
ive been looking for a part time design job recently but found out almost every job requires knowledge of illustrator. ty so much!! i was so lost trying to learn. i cant get over the fact this whole course is free and has actually remained free
Thank you so much. I can't find words how grafetul I am. You just saved my whole semester in university. Our professor told us to make a magazine for a project - but she didn't even recommend any program, neither she did teach us of anything. I'm so glad that I found you, because just in 2 days now I'm able to design and create my magazine for a project with InDesign, and also you inspired me to learn this magic that we are capable to do with other Adobe design programs. Everything is so well explained and displayed. I'm so so so so so thankful. GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY.
I haven't even finished the video; I had to stop and comment. This is the best, easiest to understand, perfectly dumbed down to my level tutorial ever. Thank you!
Really appreciate the format and organization of this tutorial series, Illustrator's been the one I felt was too alien to tackle for about a year now and I'm finally sitting down, closing After Effects and Photoshop to keep my concentration lol. I'm very grateful someone's made an excellent tutorial that covers everything for beginners yet has professional practice tucked nicely inside.
I subscribed to Adobe AI and PS a year ago and paid for a couple of courses as well elsewhere. They were boring and dragged on. I soon lost interest in them. I tried your course a couple of weeks ago and have to tell you it's by far the best and I have finally begun learning how to use AI. It's the best, well described and it's easy to follow along with. Thank you. I'll go to PS when I'm done with AI.
NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES! For those of you who are looking to learn some very valuable information, this is the place. TastyTuts really outdid himself on this tutorial. ITS WORTH YOUR TIME to watch EVERY single one of the 19 episodes. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!
Dear Gareth, truly appreciate your time, effort and generosity for creating and sharing these videos. I'm currently helping 2 other friends go through this videos, as they're Laotians and are unable to fully comprehend. Knowledge is to be shared. Thanks again.
This is just amazing, from the beginners guide to these program tutorials. I am in the process of changing my career and I wanted you to know that if it works out for me, you will have the greatest impact and credit, I really thank you for helping me change my life :)
I have been using corel draw since 14+ years and always wanted to learn illustrator. As whenever I um confronted with an Ai file, I struggle a lot. This tutorial has helped me immensely to understand Ai. Thank you! It is a fantastic and extremely well explained.
Why would someone dislike this video. It' clear and slow so we can understand. Its FREE when some people are asking us to pay for that. AND IM FREAKIN FRENCH AND I CAN CLEARLY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE HE IS TALKING "CLEARLY" WHHHY WOULD YOU DISLIKE????
OMG i have never come across a tutorial series so brilliant ,so concise !! somehow u manage to give out so much info in such short amount of time ,where each word being taught actually reaches the brain . I am simply amazed that all this is free - May God bless you for doing this ...keep up the great work
Thanks a lot Sir, You are so amazing, so clearly you describe every single topics (Video, Picture, Voice & way of explaining) every thg is so good. me as, no Graphic design course (degree) can understand it & follow up with it. I can say @ you have sow seeds of designing in me and many other people around the world... Grateful to you Sir!!!!
you're so organized, schematic and detailed with everything, even having links to how to find the rest of the videos in the description which for some reason people don't bother doing and it annoys the shit out of me... you deserve a Nobel Prize my friend.
This is gold! Thank you so much! I'm a first year university student and this is my first time working with Adobe. Your explanations and guides are in-depth, they are easy to follow. Your channel is my new saving grace!
I am so happy I have found this tutorial. Very informative and clear when it comes to walking us through on how to do things. Beginner friendly indeed. Thank you!!!!
If you are using later versions of Ai to exactly follow these videos, choose the Essentials Classic layout instead of the Essentials layout suggested here.
Amazed these are free. Donated because this is the best tutorial course I encountered. Finally feel like I can get to grips with AI. So much respect xxxx
Bro. I am using my old CS6 version and it works, I still can perfectly follow along. Thank you for giving a such tutorial for free. I've been a decent Photoshop user but almost no knowledge about illustrator. You just made my future 300% brighter.
This is 2017, and I'm using Ai cc 2017. I'm a new learner, and I just love your style of making tutorial. I will finish all of your tutorial on Ai cc. Thanks, man...
Fantastic course. Thank you so much for your generosity. I can't download the work files unfortunately. I notice others have had trouble but couldn't see a solution. I'm muddling through though. you're a great tutor!
+Sara Jenner Hey Sara, there should be no issue here, the download link is in the description of this video. The link will take you to the overview video for this series, in the description of that video, there is a link that will take you to where you can download the project folder.
+TastyTuts | Creative tutorials by Gareth David Thank you for replying. I tried several times, but maybe it's my ignorance or lack of software, it would seem to be downloading but then come up with an error message. Never mind I'm learning loads anyway 👍😁
Hey Sara, I'm having the same problem, it starts to download the pdf and then after about 20 seconds it comes up with an error code... how did you fix that?
I was just looking for illustrator tutorials and your video showed up and I am glad that I found your channel. Thank you so much for creating these videos. They are useful. keep up the work.
This is perhaps best tool tutorial I've ever seen! It's simple, kick-the-point, interesting and practical! Usually tutors introduce too much of all the icons and functions of the interface which is so boring and hard to focus for novice, but u a different! u did a really really great job!! I never write comments, so this is the first time (: and I must say I love the way u teach and Thanks so so much!
I've decided to use your videos to help introduce me to Ai and so I can prepare for my 3rd Adobe Certified Examination later this year, I've already passed Premiere Pro CS6 and Photoshop CS6 and I need another to become a specialist, I just wanted to say that your videos are excellent and are already helping me, thank you :)
scar face Hi! I learnt using books from my University library, online tutorials on RU-vid and Vimeo and putting myself in practical situations ie; correcting family wedding photos, the best way to learn to get hands on :)
Well Thank you is not enough, I owe my illustrator knowledge to you.I follow along and practice every thing to learn every basics of illustrator.19 videos are well scripted and workbooks are fun to work on.
Thank you so much for making these, and all for free! I have been studying Illustration for two years at university and they still haven't shown us how to use a vital program! hopefully this will get me ahead of the game.
i just can say thank you very much sir. you did a great job. after finding a lot of tutorial, your course is the best for beginner. and now i will focus on your 19 episode right now.
I'm just one episode in and I already want to thank you, fun thing is that the [x] is on the opposite side with Windows, because you explicitly mention on the left side. Thanks again, great so far.
For people that don't know, it might be useful to tell them that undo is cmd+Z, cntrl+Z on pc or there's always the edit menu up top and select undo from under there
I couldn't open the practice by opening it from the folder, so instead I went to File > Open and selected the practice. Anyway, thank you for this tutorial~ You're awesome!
At the moment, I am writing my PhD thesis. And I would like to use AI for making diagrams. I have just started watching your tutorials.. It is amazing! You explain everyhting very clearly and provided us all the necessary documents to practise using this software. Thank you very very much! Have a nice day! ;)
This is the best tutorial I have come across. This will be helpful for my 8 year old and 11 year old since they love to draw and design on the computer. We really appreciate it. Your PDF will be a great instructional book. :)
TastyTuts, your videos are amazing. And when I say amazing, I mean AMAZING. You put so much effort into them, it's awesome to see. I love this channel! :)
Its real eductaion & a humble & quality share! I self-taught Photoshop as an aid to my practice and I'm in the position now where I'm forced to tackle some properties and features in Ai. What makes this series better than the torrent of junk is quite simple Honestly titled with a thoughtfull delivery, you have you have avoided falling into brief tutorials that come across as amateur or as sales pitches. I assume I can speak for a few others too when I say thank you for navigating the morallaity of free information.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create and share these tutorials - I have to learn PS and Illustrator for work and my boss doesn't see the need to send me to a class, so this is invaluable to me. Thank you again. :-)
I haven't watched the whole series yet... but I can say from the introduction this is going to be really fun and exciting. Sounds pretty good and complete. Thx a lot for making this tutorial and making the net a great place. You rock. Huahuaaa
Just got illustrator and you are so clear and precise I actually understand what you are doing. The only thing is it is hard to see where your cursor is on the screen. Outside of that, you are an excellent instructor! Thank you!
