👉 Adobe Illustrator from Scratch | Chapter 7: How to Work with Text
In this Adobe Illustrator course for beginners, you'll learn to use the tools of the world's most popular vector graphics program to quickly and easily create a wide variety of designs: vector illustrations, icons, logos, brochures, social media graphics, and many other graphic pieces.
This course is designed for those with no prior knowledge of Illustrator, or very little, who want to learn how to use the program to create simple designs. We'll start from scratch with the fundamentals of Illustrator and gradually add more content. I recommend watching the videos in order and not skipping any to get the most out of your learning.
📂 Step-by-step exercises
At the end of each chapter, you'll find step-by-step exercises to apply the topics covered. Some exercises start from scratch, while others use base files that you can download and use to follow along:

🔥 Laying Out a Lot of Text in Illustrator?
Handling long texts, columns, or complex editorial projects in this program often becomes incredibly cumbersome and time-consuming. For efficient work with large-scale typography, the key tool is InDesign.
If you want to automate your workflow and solve in one click what currently takes hours, I recommend my short Adobe InDesign courses. You'll learn to master layouts and save a significant amount of time on every submission or project.
