Back in March we ran a short (but very popular) Re-Tweet Competition in conjunction with the training advice service MyTraining Manager.

The prize was a free place on any of our public training courses, and we had hundreds of entries.

Our lucky winner was Stephen Whitehead from Bellerbys College, who chose to attend our 2-day Illustrator Course 

He finally got round to attending the course last week, and was delighted with the training – so we’ve included his Illustrator course review below.

Tutorial: How to create a scalable map in Illustrator

If you are a Photoshop user looking to add to your skill-set, or ever need to produce professional vector graphics (logos, maps etc…) – Illustrator is a very powerful addition to your tool kit.

Illustrator Training Course Review

I’ve been using Adobe Photoshop professionally for over ten years now – and Adobe Illustrator is a package that I’ve wanted to train in for some time – but could never justify the budget.

However having now taken the Silicon Beach two day Illustrator introduction course I would recommend anyone who is a frequent user of Photoshop or has ever been interested in creating digital art and identities to consider taking this course.

Now that I am able to work with vector graphics – I feel as though I’ve found a missing piece in my understanding of digital design.

For me this was without doubt the most creative and downright fun training course I’ve ever been on; not only for discovering the tools and functions of the software but also for the wonderful trainer David who led the course.

He was animated, funny and with years of industry knowledge – was extremely knowledgeable.

David encouraged questions and took a real interest in demonstrating how Illustrator could help all of the delegates who came from a wide degree of backgrounds – across print, education, marketing and digital sectors.

He helpfully offered some mnemonics to help us to remember the various tools in the package.

I came away with a real buzz and feeling of accomplishment afterwards.

So thanks to Silicon Beach and MyTrainingManager for this wonderful prize!
