Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop Extra Classes

I believe we can always learn more about using Adobe products, especially Photoshop and Illustrator. Earlier in 2019, I got to take some free classes on LinkedinLearning so I took some on Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

I learned a lot of time saving skills and tips, and I took one specifically on gradient meshes just because I hadn’t learned that before and wanted to know how to use the tool.

The classes I specifically took are:

  1. Illustrator Shortcuts

  2. Photoshop Shortcuts

  3. Time Saving Tips and Tricks with Illustrator CC

  4. Creating Gradient Meshes using Illustrator
