			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float: left;" title="Adobe Illustrator" src="http://www.sheafriesen.com/images/illustrator.gif" alt="Ai" width="112" height="108" />I&#8217;ve decided to give Illustrator a second chance since I&#8217;ve found that the Flash drawing environment was just not cutting it for me. I tried <a title="Inkscape" href="http://inkscape.org/">Inkscape</a>, but it just didn&#8217;t feel right. I&#8217;ve always steered clear of Illustrator before because I hated how complicated it was compared to Flash, but it appears I am forced to just suck it in.</p>
<p>After a few hours of searching, I found this nice introductory <a href="http://www.vectordiary.com/illustrator/learn-illustrator-cs3-in-30-days/">tutorial</a>. I think the &#8220;30 days&#8221; thing is just a gimmick, but, I do need to learn it in 5 days if I am to finish a project I&#8217;m working on. And since I&#8217;m familiar on how vector graphics work, and all I really need to do is adjust and learn the more advanced stuff, 5 days seems plausible. <img src='http://blog.mindfock.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also gathered some nice links regarding Illustrator/vector stuff.</p>

<p>And <em>the</em> most awesome site I&#8217;ve found so far:<a href="http://www.gomediazine.com/ "> GoMediaZine</a></p>
