From the Textbook
These are the files used in class as "hands-on" Illustrator exercises. In class they are distributed on disk, and each file corresponds to the lessons in the textbook, Illustrator for Windows & Macintosh *, by Elaine Weinmann and Peter Lourekas, from the Visual Quickstart Guide series.

These are additional files, given to students on disk, for homework practice. The first group of tutorials comes from the Program Manual, which comes with the program. The exercises have been rewritten and redesigned just a bit to create the on-disk files.
Tutorial One - Basic Shapes
Intro to Illustrator, Creating Basic Shapes
Intro to Illustrator, Creating Basic Shapes-2
Intro to Illustrator, Transform and Rotate
Intro to Illustrator, Spirals and Other Shapes
Intro to Illustrator, Fills and Outlines
Intro to Illustrator, Finishing the Logo
These files follow some of the skills presented in the Illustrator WOW book (always my favorite series for digital art programs). I have rewritten and had sketched and created each file from scratch. The files are given to students on disk as hands-on, take-home exercises, in Adobe Illustrator format. Text is gradually being added to these files so that on-line students can also use the exercises easily. Let me know which exercises you are using, and I'll provide and then post the instructions.
