Understand what makes vector different from pixels and take control of the core drawing tools.

You can draw accurate shapes and simple illustrations that scale to any size.

• Set up artboards and work with fills, strokes, and the appearance panel
• Build artwork from primitive shapes using pathfinder operations
• Draw and edit paths with the pen tool and direct selection

Learn the construction techniques that keep vector artwork tidy, editable, and quick to change.

You can build detailed vector artwork that stays easy to edit later.

• Use shape builder, clipping masks, and compound paths to build complex forms
• Apply gradients, blends, and pattern fills for depth and texture
• Work with type properly, converting to outlines only when it is genuinely needed

Apply vector skills to logo and icon work, where precision, grids, and consistency carry the result.

You can produce logos and icon sets that hold up in real use rather than only on screen.

• Construct marks on a grid with consistent optical alignment and curvature
• Design an icon set with matching stroke weight, corner radius, and visual size
• Test a logo at small sizes, in one colour, and on dark backgrounds

Prepare vector files for real production, where print shops, developers, and other designers depend on how you saved them.

You can hand over vector files that print correctly and work in code without corrections.

• Manage colour with spot, process, and screen profiles and know when each applies
• Export SVG, PDF, and raster assets at the sizes each destination needs
• Organise layers, symbols, and libraries so files can be reused across a brand
