- [Brian] Hello, and welcome to the UX Design Tools: Illustrator course. My name is Brian Wood and I'll be leading you through. Illustrator's a tool a lot of us probably have some experience with when it comes to print or even web or app design. My job in this course is to show you the features and concepts you'll need to know to work both smarter and harder while diving into a web or app design project. In this course, we'll cover features like art board layouts, setting column guides, stamping to the grid, ways to work faster, including working with text styles and symbols, as well as graphic styles and so much more.
So, if you're ready to jump in, let's get going.
