Dear Daniel, thank you very much for your hard work. I finished the AI essential course and I am good at the Illustrator now. I am pretty confident to take some small projects and I already made a poster and a booklet (using InDesign) for our center open house event . I started to watch this Advanced lesson and I am sure that this course will be even more joyful and full of information. I really love your teaching style and i will try to share all of my work in the social media pages you mentioned in the video. Thank you again and keep it up!

[@donantonio5646]

Greetings!! I have my illustrator all updated but I cannot find the “match active artboard style” option. It does not appear under styles or settings.. Please help!!

[@briansolis9007]

Thank you for the great tutorials, you've covered almost everything and has given a lot of techniques in the quickest way possible. But please can you practice not mumbling your words. You voice is like going fast then low tone to normal and then fast to whispering low tone. then like rapping and mumbling to low tone voice. Just saying for improvement.

[@Pondin489]

18:44 Hello. Sorry, I didn't get where I need to upload my project, you meant your website? Send a link please!

[@diazepamkit]

Sir, i would like to ask if you dont mind its ok. Between this and corel is there any difference? Also why some printing company mostly use corel? It amaze me, when i got client, and they use printing company that doesnt know how to convert the filetype. 😂

[@antoineweb1]

Now the "Reference Asset" for AI is either Artwork or Picker. I'm not sure what Artwork is? Is it the same as Artboard?

[@antoineweb1]

I found that Artwork is whatever art is nearby, it may be one art, it may be severals, it depends on where your rectangle is

[@djay6423]

@bringyourownlaptop Could you please help with this. I have the same issue.

[@donantonio5646]

Please help I dont understand the reference asset option… In this video I believe they call it “match active artboard style”

[@samduss4193]

do really people use AI ? would you guys texture in illustrator or pass the project to photoshop ?
