this file is not downloading

[@ameerahmed7243]

@@maryamayub359 well i had the same issue here and tried several ways to solve it by downloading several browsers and it didn't work... but here is the only effective way to download that , open it and save it to your dropbox and install dropbox app to your PC and sync all saved files and it will downloaded automatically ... if id doesn't work , i personally launched dropbox on my cell phone and downloaded it on my mobile first (( using mobile data , and dnt ask why )) but it couldn't be downloaded through WiFi but try it in all ways ... then copy the file from your phone to your PC and it will work properly then .

[@jabagureshidze5921]

download not working,can u check this

[@vonmarlon4221]

I feel sorry for all those people paying top dollar for illustrator courses after finding this. You sir are a credit to the creative community.

My friend they are only not cleaver, I started to learn my favourite thing to do, create digital things.

[@angelayang1850]

For those using 2022-2023 versions, you might need to pick Essentials Classic workspace instead of just Essentials. Classic is closer to what you will see in the video.

[@exol_ruchan]

Thank u

[@user-vv7dw8hm5g]

God bless You

[@domsday7973]

Appreciate it for real..... Thank you

[@astereast]

thank you. i was so confused before

[@savannahkoszela7331]

Huge help!!

[@TodaysLoverly63]

I understood more from your videos than I learned in a freaking art class in college. Thank you so much for these!!

[@Led....]

really? god im going to have a hard time in college... maybe i should get my degree here?

[@FounderPilot]

Is it true?? I need a serious reply since I am thinking about taking design next year in college! If i could learn everything on youtube I will not apply for that in uni just to throw 300000 around when i can learn that for free!

[@Led....]

Whoa Cipmunk!!! Just because he learned faster here, that doesnt consider the credit you will receive, or the degree if that is your major! A portfolio will only go so far

[@TodaysLoverly63]

Whoa no definitely go into school for it if you wish!! It may be expensive but the degree is worth it. And don't listen to just me, you might do better in a class! And a big piece of advice - don't listen to anyone who tells you a design degree isn't "worth it". It's a big decision, but doing what you love is extremely important. And, youtube tutorials are always good no matter what you do - sometimes we just need another perspective on a subject.

[@AjayAjay-rr7zs]

Become an online freelancer and learn from youtube. Post your portfolio on your profile. This is what you will be doing anyway. And companies care about how good your work is not your degree. If you have the money to pay for UNI, use it to start a business and travel the world. Trust me 10 years from now you won't regret.

[@Tackleqb]

wow we get this whole tutorial series for free? dude you are fn awesome!!!

[@janmaysingh5787]

if anyone is using newer version, then choose- essentials classic

[@nachinathan3846]

Wow thanks! I was wondering how what was wrong! Is this tutorial helpful form newer versions in your opinion? I'm using 2020

[@jaselle30]

Thank you!!

[@janmaysingh5787]

@Nour El Houda Mahdjoub Happy to help!

[@taruyoutube]

choose for what???

[@joelhall649]

Thanks, I just figured it out then I saw your comment!

[@TheSergillop]

For the first time i understand the basics of AI, thank you thank you thank you So well explained.

[@lloydanthonyhidalgo2100]

I've seen too many tutorials, but this one is the BEST EVER!!! Adobe company should hire this guy.

[@jamehka]

This is better than what I learned in college at design school.

[@theboytheycalljonny1]

If you cannot see the main control panel at the top of the screen, try changing to "essentials Classic' mode on the dropdown menu option to the top right of the illustrator window, if it's listen as something else such as 'Essentials ' or 'Web." It didn't show up for me until i selected this view, even after a reset. Might be of use to someone. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@skai1624]

Also, clicking "control' under "window" works if you have that option.

[@summrasammy9226]

Thank you, this worked!!!

[@van5449]

Thanks man, that's really helpful. You just made this outdated tutorial super useful to new guys like us again!

[@stoikes]

Thank you dude, would never have got that otherwise, cheers mate!

[@prasath8432]

thank you bro,thats super helpful cheers man :D

[@ayagamal3963]

the people who desliked this are graphic design teachers who can't explain illustrator as good as he does well done sir thank you!

[@brittanyrutherforddesigns]

One thing to add for the more recent version: if you are missing tools- click the ellipses at the bottom of the tools panel, click the three lines at the top of the next panel, change to “advanced” from basic. Common problem with more recent updates. Also- the control panel functions now as the properties panel.

[@ayeshaganegoda1954]

thank you!

This is FREE and if y'all want to thank him just don't skip ads or donate on his site. Ok.

[@timothyguscoth490]

such clarity and clear progression i haven't seen anywhere in tutorials, please please tell me you branch out into after effects and the rest of the creative suite, the best, absolute best refresher/new beginner course

[@lisathomas9263]

THANK YOU for these tutorials, Gareth!! I'm brand new to Illustrator and they are helping me so much. You explain beautifully and your instructions are clear and concise. There is so much learning material on AI and so much room for immense confusion, but your lessons make it possible for us "newbies" to also get it right ;) And for making all of these lessons FREE! :))) Thank you for all of your hard work in preparing these lessons for us! All the best!

[@ighodaroveevee2465]

Garith David is the BEST.. so simple and humble. showing learners the way step by step

[@sohavora1147]

ive been looking for a part time design job recently but found out almost every job requires knowledge of illustrator. ty so much!! i was so lost trying to learn. i cant get over the fact this whole course is free and has actually remained free

[@Notorea]

THANKS, what a privilege it is to have access to a quality tutorial without having to pay access fees. THANK YOU!!

[@robertaaaaaaaaa1]

Thank you so much. I can't find words how grafetul I am. You just saved my whole semester in university. Our professor told us to make a magazine for a project - but she didn't even recommend any program, neither she did teach us of anything. I'm so glad that I found you, because just in 2 days now I'm able to design and create my magazine for a project with InDesign, and also you inspired me to learn this magic that we are capable to do with other Adobe design programs. Everything is so well explained and displayed. I'm so so so so so thankful. GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY.

[@TheAndersDanilet]

I haven't even finished the video; I had to stop and comment. This is the best, easiest to understand, perfectly dumbed down to my level tutorial ever. Thank you!

[@roxy60170]

You are a good trainer who knows exactly how to walk a baby in the Illustrator world.

[@inventsable]

Really appreciate the format and organization of this tutorial series, Illustrator's been the one I felt was too alien to tackle for about a year now and I'm finally sitting down, closing After Effects and Photoshop to keep my concentration lol. I'm very grateful someone's made an excellent tutorial that covers everything for beginners yet has professional practice tucked nicely inside.

[@CRCaseyboy1]

I subscribed to Adobe AI and PS a year ago and paid for a couple of courses as well elsewhere. They were boring and dragged on. I soon lost interest in them. I tried your course a couple of weeks ago and have to tell you it's by far the best and I have finally begun learning how to use AI. It's the best, well described and it's easy to follow along with. Thank you. I'll go to PS when I'm done with AI.

[@spkeelin]

NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES! For those of you who are looking to learn some very valuable information, this is the place. TastyTuts really outdid himself on this tutorial. ITS WORTH YOUR TIME to watch EVERY single one of the 19 episodes. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!

[@jesstoselli]

You're saving my life. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing this knowledge with the world! Cheers from Rio de Janeiro! :)

[@horaceselan9]

Dear Gareth, truly appreciate your time, effort and generosity for creating and sharing these videos. I'm currently helping 2 other friends go through this videos, as they're Laotians and are unable to fully comprehend. Knowledge is to be shared. Thanks again.

[@RZanja]

Sir, thankyou so much for this. I cannot afford design school. So, I learn from KZbin. Thankyou again. This is gold

[@mayagold10]

[@shehreenkhan6626]

This is one of the best tutorial if Adobe Illustrator till now. Thank you for this course!!

[@justWithRight]

This is just amazing, from the beginners guide to these program tutorials. I am in the process of changing my career and I wanted you to know that if it works out for me, you will have the greatest impact and credit, I really thank you for helping me change my life :)

[@aartibadamikar1264]

I have been using corel draw since 14+ years and always wanted to learn illustrator. As whenever I um confronted with an Ai file, I struggle a lot. This tutorial has helped me immensely to understand Ai. Thank you! It is a fantastic and extremely well explained.

[@vanity_.]

Literally the best tutorial on internet

[@justafrenchkidtryingtospea9462]

Why would someone dislike this video. It' clear and slow so we can understand. Its FREE when some people are asking us to pay for that. AND IM FREAKIN FRENCH AND I CAN CLEARLY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE HE IS TALKING "CLEARLY" WHHHY WOULD YOU DISLIKE????

[@bubblebath2892]

OMG i have never come across a tutorial series so brilliant ,so concise !! somehow u manage to give out so much info in such short amount of time ,where each word being taught actually reaches the brain . I am simply amazed that all this is free - May God bless you for doing this ...keep up the great work

[@sudharsanansampath5398]

This is one of the best tutorials, period. Thank you so much, whoever you are. I owe you one.

[@JSyeeva]

Can't believe someone like you do exist on youtube! Thank you very much for being so generous!

[@sakinabajaria7547]

Thanks a lot Sir, You are so amazing, so clearly you describe every single topics (Video, Picture, Voice & way of explaining) every thg is so good. me as, no Graphic design course (degree) can understand it & follow up with it. I can say @ you have sow seeds of designing in me and many other people around the world... Grateful to you Sir!!!!

[@savibabi14]

Do you know how I can get the the project folder to open in Adobe. I unzipped it but its saying its unable to convert some parts of it

[@savibabi14]

Please if you can share the unzipped file with my email [e-mail]

[@derpestarzt]

you're so organized, schematic and detailed with everything, even having links to how to find the rest of the videos in the description which for some reason people don't bother doing and it annoys the shit out of me... you deserve a Nobel Prize my friend.

[@paulasmith7823]

After watching a few of these tutorials, I do find them to be excellent instruction. The best on You Tube. Thank you for providing this.

[@zephsacayan7354]

This is gold! Thank you so much! I'm a first year university student and this is my first time working with Adobe. Your explanations and guides are in-depth, they are easy to follow. Your channel is my new saving grace!

[@annlumanog2305]

I am so happy I have found this tutorial. Very informative and clear when it comes to walking us through on how to do things. Beginner friendly indeed. Thank you!!!!

[@khush293]

So far I'm learning new things like how I can open different documents at the same time. Thank You So Much can't wait to watch all the episodes

[@MoinKhan19]

If you are using later versions of Ai to exactly follow these videos, choose the Essentials Classic layout instead of the Essentials layout suggested here.

[@lynnalphonsodesouza2142]

New to Illustrator and Just Began this tutorial; really like the step by step explanation. Thank you - God bless you.

[@newmagicfilms]

the video... the description... the voice ... the calm .... the explanation ... the love. ... the comment ... the subscribed ... i love you man!

[@vodkabearsbabushka]

Amazed these are free. Donated because this is the best tutorial course I encountered. Finally feel like I can get to grips with AI. So much respect xxxx

[@ChronoPierce]

Bro. I am using my old CS6 version and it works, I still can perfectly follow along. Thank you for giving a such tutorial for free. I've been a decent Photoshop user but almost no knowledge about illustrator. You just made my future 300% brighter.

[@farabbi71]

This is 2017, and I'm using Ai cc 2017. I'm a new learner, and I just love your style of making tutorial. I will finish all of your tutorial on Ai cc. Thanks, man...

[@sarajenner1989]

Fantastic course. Thank you so much for your generosity. I can't download the work files unfortunately. I notice others have had trouble but couldn't see a solution. I'm muddling through though. you're a great tutor!

[@GarethDavidStudio]

+Sara Jenner Hey Sara, there should be no issue here, the download link is in the description of this video. The link will take you to the overview video for this series, in the description of that video, there is a link that will take you to where you can download the project folder.

[@sarajenner1989]

+TastyTuts | Creative tutorials by Gareth David Thank you for replying. I tried several times, but maybe it's my ignorance or lack of software, it would seem to be downloading but then come up with an error message. Never mind I'm learning loads anyway 👍😁

[@sarajenner1989]

Of course it was user error and all sorted now ... :-) Thanks

[@dominicwordsr.7572]

how did you get the project files to download because i am having problems also????

[@luminor0077]

Hey Sara, I'm having the same problem, it starts to download the pdf and then after about 20 seconds it comes up with an error code... how did you fix that?

[@Smarglenargle]

very clear, I usually am very impatient with tutorials but i had no issues skipping along and finding the important bits because you paced it so well.

[@UnobviousExpand]

Thank you for these tutorials, they're clear, they cover all a beginner really needs, and they're done with care. Thank you Thank you :D

[@abdeladimmalih6277]

the most educational video ive ever seen

[@pratikbabhulkar2295]

I was just looking for illustrator tutorials and your video showed up and I am glad that I found your channel. Thank you so much for creating these videos. They are useful. keep up the work.

[@ritazhang3341]

This is perhaps best tool tutorial I've ever seen! It's simple, kick-the-point, interesting and practical! Usually tutors introduce too much of all the icons and functions of the interface which is so boring and hard to focus for novice, but u a different! u did a really really great job!! I never write comments, so this is the first time (: and I must say I love the way u teach and Thanks so so much!

[@snapbackwill]

I've decided to use your videos to help introduce me to Ai and so I can prepare for my 3rd Adobe Certified Examination later this year, I've already passed Premiere Pro CS6 and Photoshop CS6 and I need another to become a specialist, I just wanted to say that your videos are excellent and are already helping me, thank you :)

[@Scarcorleon1]

+snapbackWill How did you learn photoshop? Any tutorials

[@snapbackwill]

scar face Hi! I learnt using books from my University library, online tutorials on KZbin and Vimeo and putting myself in practical situations ie; correcting family wedding photos, the best way to learn to get hands on :)

[@skillfulVandal]

Its real eductaion & a humble & quality share! I self-taught Photoshop as an aid to my practice and I'm in the position now where I'm forced to tackle some properties and features in Ai. What makes this series better than the torrent of junk is quite simple Honestly titled with a thoughtfull delivery, you have you have avoided falling into brief tutorials that come across as amateur or as sales pitches. I assume I can speak for a few others too when I say thank you for navigating the morallaity of free information.

[@Palemoonable]

Thanks for this, very much appreciated all your effort. Just got a tad bit difficult finding things around since I'm using windows and AI 2018.

Thank you Tasty Tuts for the great tutorials. I definitely appreciate them along with your teaching style.
