I just got illustrator about 5 minutes ago and I'm supposed to try to figure it out. Not really sure what you can even do with this thing. Huge newb, sorry not sorry. So I guess just post stuff you've done on it and general stuff about how to use it.

I just drew myself a triangle so thats about where I'm at, lol.

Illustrator is incredibly powerful and kind of a pain to get the hang of, sort of like the rest of the Adobe CC in my opinion. However, with an agenda and the Adobe CC I am 100% convinced you can change the world however you need to, they are really cool tools.

Learn about vector images, learn how to use the pen tool, start memorizing keyboard shortcuts and just play with it a little. Once you need to do specific projects just google tutorials, there are good ones out there for almost anything.

Here's something I made in Illustrator (with a little Photoshop help)

These are some of my works in illustrator after I got it about a month ago. You could make really cool things with it. Just follow lots of tutorials :)

Illustrator is very tough. Not at all like AfterEffects or Photoshop, in the sense of how tools work. Just play around with it, press and use different tools and settings and see how things work. It definitely helps to have experience in any other Adobe CC products. Also, YouTube is a very powerful learning site ;)

Start a free trial at Lynda.com and binge watch all the Illustrator tutorials.
