And the world of graphic design was never the same again…
especially after discovering what a Bézier curve is.
Before that, doing digital design felt like drawing with a mop soaked in paint and sadness.
But then Illustrator came in and said:
“Now you can draw with vectors.”
And nobody understood anything.
But everyone pretended they did.
And slowly, they learned. Crying. But they learned.
✏️ Why was this a game changer for digital art?
🧠 Illustrator gave creators the power to edit shapes with mathematical precision, infinitely, scalable, and with the elegance of a Jedi light ruler.
🖥️ It opened the doors to what we now call visual branding, motion graphics, vector interfaces, educational design, game assets, and well-crafted memes.
🧩 It turned the mouse into a vector brush, the anchor point into an existential dilemma, and “Expand Appearance” into a life choice.
🚀 It influenced all the creative tools that came after — even image AI drank from that ancestral source code.
👴 Oscar, looking at a path with 78 poorly distributed points:
“Before Illustrator, digital art was just a distant dream.
After it… it became a nightmare with shortcuts.
And a visual revolution too, of course.”
🐲 Barkley, stuck in a clipping mask since 2019:
“If your career was a vector illustration, what would be at the center?
And more importantly: which layer would you hide your fears in?”
🎯 Mission of the Day
Create something TODAY using only basic geometric shapes.
No brushes, no filters. Just raw vector.
And see how far your mind can go with the bare minimum.
💰 Reward:
+1 full mastery over Bézier curves
+99% less stress when opening a corrupted .ai file (just kidding, you’ll freak out just the same)
