Why you don’t need to know how draw to use Adobe Illustrator CS3
March 8th, 2009 lvs Posted in In The Spotlight | 2 Comments »
Some people tell Art, the Illustrator instructor at LVS Online Classes, that they don’t know how to draw so they have no need for a drawing program. They then pay someone else to do the drawing for their websites and print layouts. When Art developed his Illustrator Introduction course he wanted this to be his guiding light.
Art’s class motto is: You don’t need to know how to draw ( it helps ) but you can still draw cool things.
There may be times when a job has to be done professionally, just like sometimes your car needs a mechanic. This doesn’t stop you from learning how to fix a flat tire, rotate tires or change the oil.
Learn how to use Adobe Illustrator to make graphics and drawings. The Illustrator Introduction online class will teach you the basics of digital imaging as well as the essentials of Illustrator needed to get you started on creating and editing your own graphics. Beginners are welcome. Wouldn’t you like to save a few bucks by making your own logos and banners for websites? How about making your own flyers that don’t look like you raided someone’s clip art folder?
Arthur Hawes teaches the Intro to Illustrator online course. He states from the beginning that he’s not a classically trained artist, and, if he can do it then so can his students!

I have the Adobe Illustrator CS4 edition, and I am a beginner. When I follow the link above, it leads me to the course for the 2 and 3 editions. Would that be appropriate for me?

Hi Joyce,
The instructor, Art, is working on updating the lessons for CS4. He does have that version of software so can help with any questions that may arise. You may want to email him at arthur@lvsonline.com to verify.
