Becoming a lean, mean, illustration machine

- The purpose of this course is not so much…to hone your skills as to supercharge them.…I mean, just look at you.…You're already an advanced Illustrator user.…You're on fire.…Actual powerful, super dangerous fire.…Illustrator is going to take one look at you…and shrink in terror, bending to your every will.…Suddenly, it's easy peasy lemon squeezy.…For Illustrator, that is.…For you it's horrible, 'cause you're on fire.…To that end, we're starting things off…not with a look at how you work with…some of the heftier features in Illustrator,…but how you make Illustrator work with you.…

First, you need some new shortcuts,…one's that'll call up Illustrator's best commands…without you having to fumble through menus,…sub menus, popup menus, flyout menus,…and the myriad right-click menus…where you don't know if they're going to offer…the command you're looking for or not.…Menus, I spit on them.…Second, you need to tweak a few preference settings…to make the program work more quickly…and with fewer protests.…And third, you need to help Illustrator show you colors…
