Testimonial

Hi Bill,

I’ve owned and used Illustrator for many years and I had no idea what the Polar Grid Tool was. The fact is, I had never even seen the tool in my tool bar. The real fact is I did not ever care what it was.

Well Bill, after I signed up for your video tutorials, I saw your video. Wow. There are so many projects that I use this tool for now and the tool saves me time and makes me more money. My clients are very happy.

Thanks for your videos,
