"Vintage" Illustrator Instructional Video
Monday July 13, 2009
I came across this
Illustrator instructional video, circa 1987, on Twitter. It's great to see some of the tools that we take for granted, and now use on an everyday basis, explained for one of the first times. Great to see an old school mac-in-a-box at work too! The narrator is John Warnock, one of the Adobe founders.
