And the world of graphic design was never the same again…
especially after discovering what a Bézier curve is.
Before that, doing digital design was like drawing with a mop soaked in paint and sadness.
But then Illustrator came along and said:
“Now you can draw with vectors.”
And nobody got it.
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 code.
👴 Oscar, looking at a path with 78 poorly distributed points:
“Before Illustrator, digital art was just a distant dream.
After it… it turned into a nightmare with shortcuts.
And a visual revolution too, of course.”
🐲 Barkley, stuck in a clipping mask since 2019:
“If your career were 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 minimum.
💰 Reward:
+1 complete mastery over Bézier curves
+99% less stress when opening a corrupted .ai file (just kidding, you’ll freak out just the same)
