Why in the world this video doesn't have more views??? This is one of the best Illustrator guide tutorials I have seen.
Straight to the point. Clear instructions. No mumbo jumbo or annoying background music.
The guides were driving me insane. Very helpful information for rookies like me.
Thanks so much! 😍😍😍

I gotta say you made my day when I saw your comment! Glad you liked the tutorial. I think few people use guides because they don't know how functional and useful they can be!

It's a pitty you didn't talk about how to allign objects with guides!

[@SusanRutledge]

I don't ever use guides to align objects since the alignment tools are readily handy in the Properties Panel. But perhaps you have an idea on how to use the guides that I haven't thought of. Tell me more!
