Then, enter the world of color and shape, the fundamental elements of your composition. Learn how to create geometric figures with different aspects, exploring colors and strokes.

Give precision to your design using the Pen tool and learn how to use other essential tools such as handles, interactive vertices, blending, Pathfinder, and real-time drawing.
Get to know the numerous fonts and learn how to give personality to your text. In the fourth course, Guillermo shows you how to install the fonts you want to use and the text tool to create your logo.
Now it is time to combine the previously created elements to give shape to your visual identity! In the fifth course, learn what an imagotype is, how to use it correctly, and then how to create a pattern and a sample.
In the last course, learn how to export your composition to online and offline media.
