I am really loving the work you do. Rising on youtube is a bit difficult but please don't stop. The way you make your people understand the concept is the best. Thank you!!!!!

Hold ALT before using the knife tool to cut in a straight line - or SHIFT ALT for horizontal or vertical or 45 degree straight cuts

OK nice work and excellently explained. What if I have two identical squares (shapes) that share a border, i.e. where two line segments are in exactly the same position. Is there a method where the two line segments become one? (delete one) I need this for not cutting double path on my vinyl cutter.

I'm just getting started with Illustrator and this video was extremely helpful! In addition to my role as a training specialist, I'm also responsible for doing voice overs and videos. Your sound quality on this video is amazing. Would you mind telling what kind of microphone you're using? Mine sounds so crappy. Thanks.

which tool you are looking for? navigate to help section. another thing is every tool has some hidden tool underneath, if you click and hold, you will see the other ones that hidden under that tool menu and make sure you have the latest version of illustrator , not using a very old one,

I watched endless videos and what nobody explains is that how you cut an abstract imagine you already designed into 2 equal parts. Everyone is showing perfect circles and squares that have obvious center points.
