I recently got the latest edition of Adobe Illustrator, and I have no idea how to use it in any good context (making sigs, ps pong, etc.). Could someone give me a few pointers?

Cheers.

What do you need to know? If it's operation of the software, then I would really suggest the "Adobe Illustrator Classroom in a Book" text. Walks you through step by step in projects that introduce the fundamentals of the program. This is the main workbook text I give my students when teaching Illustrator. If it's something specific, post away.

No offense RN3, but Illustrator is as complex a program as Photoshop. You might as well have come in here and asked:

"I just installed Photoshop for the first time, what do you know about using it?"

Since I do a lot of flash and logo work, I use Illustrator more than I use Photoshop.Here is a good start. If you have specific problems, post, and I would be glad to help you out.

Thanks for all this info, you guys. It'll be a while before I'm making new sigs, but at least now I've been pointed in the right direction.

Cheers.

P.S. Dracusis, I'll be going to Brisbane in the Xmas holidays. Do you want to meet or something?

Yeah, I'm always looking to sink my teeth into a good Illustrator problem as well. (Hey, got a link in my sig that might interest you...)

I've kept meaning to do two or three, but it's quite a process. I'm doing some fairly intensive Illustrator work right now, so I might at least drop a mini-tutorial (a quick tip, if you will) on how to churn out fully-tweakable line-art from a photograph by pure manual tracing. Perhaps that'll get me in the groove for the Appearance palette tutorial I've been meaning to essay. (And from there, it's a short step to advanced shading, something I can teach but not really do very well.)
