Let us know if we have missed some thing awesome and we will be happy to update the article.
Great Collection. I’m glad to see 3 tutorials of mine in the list. Nice to see such a huge roundup.
I have some issues with Illustrator… erm… illustrations because too often they are made of unnecessary wild gradients and too bright colors, looking like something from the 90’s. There’s some bad apples in your list above, but most of them look useful. I especially like some of the text and logo examples.
Thanks. It’s quite a big list. I believe there’s something for everyone in it. I’ll have to come back when I need some inspiration or help with Illustrator.
