Learning illustrator

Today in class, I am learning the basis of illustrator. It was a little confusing on how things work, but thanks to the tutorials and my professor, I have become familiar with the program. I still have a ways to go before I can master it, but I am coming along well. I'm learning how to draw in the process and how to let my sentences flow on a curve. I have also learned how to make the words "Big Fish" shape into a big fish.  It is cool when you get the hang of it. Illustrator is fun and I would advise everybody that I will come in contact with to try it out. Even if you are not going to become a designer, you should still check it out.
