Adobe Illustrator CC: Part 1

Eight modules introduce Illustrator and develop graphics from shapes, paths and customized text. Bill Rosenthal also covers object changes and preparing documents for delivery. Logical Operations presents a broad foundation for design tasks, with a different scope from the shorter Adobe topic courses.

What you will learn

• Create graphics with shapes and custom paths
• Work with text and object appearance
• Prepare documents for their intended output

Who this suits

The page does not display a formal level label; we classify this introductory curriculum as Beginner. It is intended for people taking on design responsibilities and should be paired with access to the demonstrated software setup.

Before you enroll

The schedule suggests one week at ten study hours. The CC label does not establish which current release is demonstrated, so compare interface details before enrolling. Provider references to Adobe exam preparation do not mean the Coursera certificate awards Adobe Certified Professional status; the separate examination has its own requirements.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Create an original small event graphic using shapes and text. Export it for two intended uses, inspect the files and document what changed between the output settings.
