NSL WEEK 337- Adobe Illustrator “Stroke on a Picture”

I like when I come across these weird lil tricks. How do you apply a Stroke to a picture in Adobe Illustrator? Most people I asked, told me it wasn’t possible or to create a separate shape behind it.

Check out the video above to learn how it’s done.

NSL WEEK 335- Adobe Illustrator “Puppet Warp”

Puppet Warp makes it’s way into Adobe Illustrator CC 2018!!! I was SUPER excited when I first saw this but then the excitement went away. I started to wonder if I would use it in my every day workflow, which is why I took so long to post about it. Turns out it’s SUPER useful!

Check out the video above and I’ll show you where it came in handy and won me over.

NSL WEEK 329- Adobe Illustrator “New Features Ai2018”

Things changed up a bit in Adobe Illustrator CC 2018. I brought up the Properties Panel first because it might be jarring to long time users of Ai. Then I jumped into History Counts and Zoom to Selection which are options in the Preferences. History Count was interesting to me and I soooo many people were begging for an option to turn off Zoom to Selection =D

Check out the video above to see what they are.
