Testimonial

Hello Bill the Geek,

The last one on one session that we had was another great session. I thought I would never be able to learn Adobe Illustrator. I have used Photoshop forever and it is nothing like Adobe Illustrator.

I am so happy to have taken classes with you and now that I have signed up for your video tutorials, I always have a place to go to review the classes, or fill in the blanks on more things I didn’t know about.

Thank you for this fine tutorial on the Rectangular Grid Tool. I had use the tool and it helped me get things done quick and easily in the past, but the keystrokes that you used advanced my understanding of how to get things done even faster. Also, there were a couple of things you did that I didn’t know you could do. Those things made a light go off in my mind and Shazam, I was off to the races.

Thanks Bill,

Mary Jane,
