In this Illustrator tutorial, I’ll cover a bunch of my favorite new and old tips and tricks that will help you work faster in Adobe Illustrator. From hidden tricks of text alignment and sizing to changing color quickly and with precision to a free distortion effect that you can see before you apply it, I try to touch a bunch of different bases in this video and I am certain there are at least a few tricks here that you haven’t seen before. I hope you enjoy the video!
