I checked the wiki. Looking to make a 6-month studying plan.
I want to learn:
- making vectors in AI
- converting other filetypes to layered AI vector files
- logo design
- typography
- layout for pamphlets, covers, product presentations.
I'm trying to figure out a plan. Have a full-time job so time is scarce.

>- making vectors in AI
you dont need to learn a lot about ai, even pro's often say they only know less than 5% just learn the basics and the workflow stuff like the pen tool, selection, gradients, shortcuts, formats, type, etc rarely you'll use something advanced like the blend tool, mesh distort, svg or 3d etc.
>- converting other filetypes to layered AI vector files
what other files? if jpg's youll probably need to remake them from scratch.
>- logo design
read logo.design.love and the books from the gd wiki also learn to draw is extremly helpful
>- typography
there isn't much to it (try to get top-tier typefaces and learn when to use them) but there's a couple of good lectures I know I will try to post them later.
>- layout for pamphlets, covers, product presentations
just get inspiration and use indesign for layouts and also obv watch tutorials for things you don't know
>Do I start by learning the Adobe Illustrator program first?
sure but it depends of what you want to make if printed/text indesign, if vector/web/logos use ai, if photos then ps, i usually end-up using the 3 for most projects, maybe InDesign a little less.
Read some books you subhuman nigger:
