Teaching Outline for Introduction to Adobe Illustrator

I am teaching a 2-hour class to adults that is an introduction the Adobe Illustrator. The aim of the class is to get the students familiar with some of the basic tools of Illustrator. The premise is that once they learn these basic tools, they will be able to make a very basic logo design. Ideally, this would be a 3-hour class, to give more time between tools so students can experiment. My teaching outline is attached below. A presentation deck is also attached. This presentation is a combination of resources from Adobe Education Exchange and a couple of books that I own. The presentation deck cover more advanced topics that could be used for a second class or if you have a couple more hours. Finally, a handout is attached as well. It is a combination of resources I've found online and a list of useful links on the web for students.
