Teaching myself Adobe Illustrator over summer

Over summer I started to teach myself how to use Adobe Illustrator. I used blogs and Youtube tutorials but the most helpful source was this page on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBouhf4seWQ&t=61s .

Summer 2017

Over summer I have been very busy working two jobs and teaching myself Adobe Illustrator. I worked at an Ice Cream shop called Fabio's and also worked at The Angle Vaults Inn (Wetherspoons), were they would sometimes give me some paid design jobs. Due to the fact that I worked two jobs, made it very hard for me to keep up with weekly blog posts. Now that I am back at university, and a bit more settled in my new 11 bed house, I am ready to start blogging again. Short summary of Summer Summer was very fast pasted and busy for me but, I can defiantly say I have better organisation skills and a lot more confidence. I have worked at Wetherspoons for two years and over summer, my manager promoted me to Team Leader. This meant I had even more responsibility than I originally had but, I can take that as a positive. Being Team Leader has taught me new skills and helped me develop professionally. I can now confidently lead a team which will help when I get a job in the Graphic Design in
