- [Nigel] Hi, I'm Nigel French.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,008
Welcome to Type and Type Effects Using Illustrator for iPad.

3
00:00:06,008 --> 00:00:10,006
I'm excited to show some of what's possible with type

4
00:00:10,006 --> 00:00:13,002
using this long awaited iPad version

5
00:00:13,002 --> 00:00:16,009
of the venerable desktop design package.

6
00:00:16,009 --> 00:00:19,004
While it lacks many of the power features

7
00:00:19,004 --> 00:00:20,009
of the desktop version,

8
00:00:20,009 --> 00:00:23,009
this first release shows enormous potential

9
00:00:23,009 --> 00:00:28,007
and offers a really tactile and enjoyable experience,

10
00:00:28,007 --> 00:00:31,004
literally at your fingertips.

11
00:00:31,004 --> 00:00:34,000
This course is for users familiar with

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,005
the basics of Adobe Illustrator.

13
00:00:36,005 --> 00:00:38,001
If you're an Illustrator user,

14
00:00:38,001 --> 00:00:41,006
you already know the terminology and conventions.

15
00:00:41,006 --> 00:00:43,008
It'll just take some practice to get used to

16
00:00:43,008 --> 00:00:46,004
a slightly different way of working.

17
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:47,008
I don't have a crystal ball,

18
00:00:47,008 --> 00:00:50,000
but I think that Illustrator for iPad

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,001
is going to become an important part

20
00:00:52,001 --> 00:00:54,005
of a graphic designer's toolkit.

21
00:00:54,005 --> 00:00:56,006
In the examples I'm showing,

22
00:00:56,006 --> 00:00:59,007
I've tried to push the software to its limits.

23
00:00:59,007 --> 00:01:02,007
I'm aiming to go beyond the nuts and bolts

24
00:01:02,007 --> 00:01:05,009
to see how we can use this important new tool

25
00:01:05,009 --> 00:01:10,004
in realistic scenarios to create great looking type.

26
00:01:10,004 --> 00:01:14,000
While it's possible to combine Illustrator for iPad

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,001
with other mobile apps,

28
00:01:16,001 --> 00:01:20,007
in this first look I'm working exclusively in Illustrator

29
00:01:20,007 --> 00:01:23,005
to challenge myself and you

30
00:01:23,005 --> 00:01:28,002
to see what we can achieve in this fun, easy to use,

31
00:01:28,002 --> 00:01:31,003
and yet surprisingly powerful app.

32
00:01:31,003 --> 00:01:32,003
Let's get started.
