I'm just getting started on learning Adobe Illustrator. Once I became proficient in Photoshop & understood the difference between vector & raster images, I knew I had to learn!

Enter Creative Live's Surface Pattern Design Class with Bonnie. The class was Amazing! I learned so much within the 3 day course. The fun thing about Creative Live is that all the classes are broadcast FREE & LIVE. Since I'm on the other side of the world, it was live while I was asleep. Two of the nights I was up when it started & I didn't want to sleep. I ended up buying the class & now I have all the videos downloaded & can watch them over & over.
I am truly an Illustrator newbie. The most I've done is open the program up & yell at it "why aren't you like photoshop?" "how do I pick things up?" "where are my layers?" - I could go on. Bonnie has fixed that! Not only is she a gifted designer, she's also a super teacher. I take a lot of classes on-line since I don't have the opportunities abroad, & this is hands down one of the best. I have my Illustrator workspace set up, I know the basics of getting around & LOOK I made some of those cool color combo boards.
Moving has always given me a fresh inspiration board to start with. I realize it more with every move & I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had abroad. This class has my mind going in a million creative directions right now. I can't quite keep up with it, but it is so fun to be this inspired!

Bonnie had a wonderful idea to do a blog hop to show what we've learned. 7 weeks of creative inspiration from my classmates - I'll be posting on 9 October. Come check it out! The blog hop starts here. If you don't already follow Bonnie, get over to her blog & social media!
