I learned just by trial and error mostly. You can google it otherwise to get some tutorials; I did a lot of that. I had to use it to make a lot of illustrations for my adviser in grad school, and I'm in science, so I didn't even know what Illustrator was. I just decided what I wanted to do and googled how to do it until I was able to figure things out on my own. I never bought any books; the internet had plenty. If you think more hands on would help, you could see if a community college or any community rec programs offer classes.
The best thing to do is just keep playing around with it. If you have a specific question you can try to look for the answer on the internet or you can post here and we can try to help.
if youre very computer saavy, it should be a breeze to learn how to use. i learned how to use it for my portfolio a few years back- it only took me a few days to get proficient at using the program.
a good book to use is: Adobe Illustrator CS2 (or CS3- whichever version you have) Classroom In a Book by Adobe Creative Team. (you can prob get it for cheap on amazon or ebay- esp if you use cs2 since its the older version). i believe that it also comes with a tutorial cd. and if you get stuck, you can always google it and a tutorial will surely pop up.
i like illustrator but i use photoshop way more. if you know how to use one program, you can pretty much use the other so you should just get both! good luck~

Hi Ladies,
Our wedding is April '09 so I've got a bit of time, but I am trying to think about ways to save on the planning. I'm very computer saavy but have never used Adobe Illustrator before. I've used Publisher before but I just don't see it allowing me to be as creative as I'd like. I just downloaded the 30 day trial to play around.
Does anyone have any helpful tips for that program or know of any good how to books/program guides?
Thanks!
