Okay so I am fairly new to Illustrator, so for those of you who are more experienced what are some tips that you wish someone would have told you from day one?

    Apparently yes .. there's filtering now.

     

    Essentially... make the pen tool your b1tch! It's the #1 tool to know and be comfortable with. The more familiar you are with the pen tool, the more versatile you'll be in creating objects in Illustrator.

    Scott,

     

    There has been a nanny with us for over three years now.

     

    Apparently, she has only started bitching about that particular word later.

     

    We shall see when the word lady catches her attention.
