About this course
Color has the power to transform design from ordinary to unforgettable. In this course, you’ll learn how to harness color theory and apply it directly inside Adobe Illustrator.

You’ll explore how to build palettes with purpose, from brand identity to emotional storytelling, and apply them confidently across your Illustrator projects. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll experiment with swatches, gradients, blends, and effects that bring depth and clarity to your work. Along the way, you’ll learn to refine, test, and adapt palettes for both digital and print outputs. Step by step, you’ll move from mastering the basics to applying color with confidence, leaving the course with the skills to design artwork that is not only visually striking, but also communicates with impact and style.
