well that's what design should be, it shouldn't be this damn thing when you're spending eight hours f*ing on a Laurel you should be like blast through this stuff

Hey Creative Adventurers, it's Video of the Week again. Time to learn something new today!

If you are working in Illustrator and ever wondered how to become more efficient - check out this amazing video on Skillshare's YouTube channel by Aaron Draplin. My jaw dropped, thought it was brilliant how much time and money you can save with a few simple steps.

Things I learned from this video:

Using the warp tool to create curves with your shapes
Breaking the work process down to different segments to keep track of progress
Turning your work into a library/reference book for yourself WHILE you are working

My favourite part was when he used the warp tool, which was new to me and how easy it can be with a little thought and a good work ethic to make your own unique vector graphics and keep track of your process. I had a different work process where I just saved different versions of the piece I'm working on in separate files. Makes my PC (which I'm currently working on) quicker. However, I do like his way of breaking everything into steps and saving it. He basically creates a library of steps, that he can always come back to even way later. It's almost like a cookbook - for designers :)

Hope you liked it & Keep on learning :)
