  • This was exactly what I was looking for and what I needed. I look forward to more targeted sessions!
  • I recently had the opportunity to take a private Adobe Illustrator class, and it was an incredibly beneficial experience. The personalized nature of the session allowed me to focus on developing fundamental skills at my own pace. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, I delved into the basic tools and functionalities of Adobe Illustrator, which was particularly helpful as a beginner. The instructor's clear explanations and thorough coverage of essential tools provided a solid foundation for me to build upon. By the end of the session, I felt more confident navigating the software and creating simple illustrations. Overall, the private class served as an effective starting point for my journey into the world of digital design.
  • Laura was very thorough and made sure we understood concepts before moving forward. I will take what I've learned into the workplace with me!
  • Laura was flexible, patient, knowledgeable and clear. What more could you ask?
  • Enjoyed the class and learned new helpful tips I look forward to using. Instructor was quite knowledgeable and patient!
  • I like that I was able to do the exercises after Laura walked through them and, I appreciate pausing here and there to let me take notes as we went along.
  • I found the Intro to Adobe Illustrator course helpful and worthwhile. Laura, the instructor, was professional and knowledgeable on the subject. She was able to answer any questions I had and made learning the content easy. I enjoyed the flow of the course. I knew a few self-taught basics before this course, but Laura helped me fill in the gaps and gave me a sturdy foundation in Illustrator. I have a lot more confidence with using the software now. Thanks!
  • Chris was a great teacher. He is a low key dude who knows a ton about Adobe.
  • Adobe Illustrator Bootcamp

    Great teacher!!!!
  • Covered a ton of ground in one day, which is exactly what I needed. I was a complete beginner, but relatively tech-savvy, and it was perfectly paced. Laura was also happy to take any questions. She has a ton of knowledge and experience!
  • Mikelle is a great teacher! I liked the pace of the class and I learned a lot and feel more confident now
  • This Illustrator 1 class covers all the basics. The teacher was very organized and clear in the explanations. It’s 4 classes so it’s not an overwhelming amount of information, but it covers enough and gives you the shortcuts to be able to use Illustrator in a basic way. I would recommend this class for anyone who wants to cover the fundamentals to use the program.
  • Laura was great!
  • Adobe Illustrator (Advanced)

    Carla Douglass is a wonderful teacher! She is dedicated, talented, super positive and kind and will help you grow as a graphic artist. The assignments are fun and interesting and you will learn so much. We learned how to do a calendar, music festival logo, posters for the subway, a magazine cover, to emulate a famous graphic designer and how to make our sketches into moving cartoons (mp4 gifs) and how to make them into moving puppets. Also advanced functions such as creating patterns, 3d sketching and perspective. I loved every moment of this class and learned so much. She has a great sense of humor and will help you grow no matter where you are in your graphic design journey. I highly recommend anyone wanting to learn more about illustrator to take this class. She is a working art director and will give you honest feedback in a kind and humorous way on what is done in the commercial world of graphic design. If she were teaching another class I would take it in a heartbeat. If you do the all homework assignments, show up for every class and put in the time to improve you grow by leaps and bounds and be amazed at what you can do by the end of class. Thank you Carla for all that you've taught me!
  • Chris is a really knowledge instructor. The pace of class was perfect and it was all explained/demonstrated well.
  • Great class! We walked through all of the basic tools and leaned how to navigate in the program. The class moved at a good pace with a really good instruction. The instructor answered our questions. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to get started with illustrator, you will learn a lot and will be able to work with the program after the course! Looking forward to take more courses from the same instructor and the university. Also, after completing the course, getting certificate of completion was so good!
  • This class was fantastic. Chris, the instructor, ran the class very well and at the perfect pace. The computer room was very nice and up to date. I loved that we got paper handouts, too. The small class size was also great.
  • Extremely organized, detailed and clear. I really enjoyed everything about this class!
  • Very informative and fast paced, covered a lot of ground!
  • Introduction to Adobe Illustrator

    Carla Douglas, Is a wonderful professor. She has a great sense of humor and you will be laughing while learning illustrator. I had fun with all the projects drawing a figure, making a rotosketch, making an infographic, designing a package. She cares about her students and takes the time to make sure that everyone is up to speed with all the tools in illustrator. I will be taking illustrator advanced with her. And really enjoyed this class. She is one of the best and brightest professors at Pratt and I wish she were teaching other subjects as well in graphic design. She is a working Art Director in graphic design and has practical working knowledge to share with all her students. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning how to use illustrator to take this class. I had so much fun learning and she promoted a very supportive and caring environment for everyone no matter what level you are at. By the end of class people who did not know how to use illustrator at all had projects that were amazing!
  • It was nice class and Chris was good teacher. I wanna try to have next class.
  • This class was great! It was great to learn 3 lessons per session. The instructors were very sweet and helpful!
  • The training session was amazing! I have tried to learn Illustrator before in other classes but it never really "stuck" or felt intuitive until now. Laura really knows her stuff and she organized the session around how I need to apply it. Definitely a breakthrough, thank you!
  • This course was great. I was able to learn a lot of tricks I was not aware of in Adobe Illustrator. It was a really great beginner course.
  • Excellent course. Useful material introduced in a well-thought-out sequence with clear instructions and helpful explanations. Chris made the content very accessible.
  • Instructor was super patient and knowledgeable. She also provided me with methods that weren’t talked about in my online tutorials on Lynda.com. I left the session feeling good about what I had learned.
  • My instructor was very attentive and helpful in helping me understand the mechanics of achieving the effects I was after while understanding that I needed to cover a lot of issues in a short amount of time. Also, she instructed affably and with patience.
  • Teacher, Eugenio, was great. Easy to understand and take notes from.
  • Great course learned basic fundamentals you just cant properly teach yourself at home.
  • Very easy to follow, clear and concise, I really nice approach to learning illustrator.
  • Great class! Lots of material covered.
  • Was actually more helpful than I thought and not a ton of students so seemed personalized. The pace was perfect and not slowed down by someone unfamiliar with how to use a computer.
  • Amazing, Laura is wonderful
  • If Illustrator leaves you in the dark, let Noble Desktop be your torch. The classes are very well taught, easy to follow along, and the instructor very helpful, and friendly. You can count on me coming back for more classes. THANK YOU
  • I just LOVED the class! I had Illustrator for a while and had been learning online with little success. I realized I needed to have a teacher there to answer questions and take me through exercises. Michele was such a fantastic teacher, full of tips and tricks and humor when it got frustrating. Can't get that with online training!
  • The class was great! I needed an Illustrator refresher course since I hadn't used it since college and needed it for my current job! I learned so much in 3 days. Michele was patient, thorough and fun. Great job! Looking forward to taking the Photoshop course!
  • The class was very comprehensive and covered more than just basic Illustrator knowledge. It made the complicated interface easy to use for those with little to no experience.
  • I absolutely loved this class! I had no Illustrator experience going in and now I feel like an Illustrator ninja. Ethan, the instructor, moved quickly enough for those of us already experienced with other Adobe CS products, but explained everything so clearly that I think even a straight-up beginner would be able to follow along with no problems.
  • I had never used a single Adobe program in my life before I walked into the Illustrator class at Noble Desktop. By the last session, I was totally comfortable with the interface and processes, and I definitely feel ready to use the program on my own.
  • Illustrator was my third class at Noble, and they just get better and better. Michele is an excellent instructor; articulate, knowledgeable, and most important patient. Noble's teaching method makes it easy to learn. I am sorry I waited so long to take the class. Thank you Noble and Michele!
  • Amazing introduction to the complicated world of Adobe Illustrator.
  • The Illustrator class was great. We covered a ton of material over the course of three quick days, and the material really filled in my knowledge gaps. I'm more confident now in my Illustrator skills...and what I can bring to my business and clients! Thanks Noble Desktop. :)
  • I was always intimidated by Adobe Illustrator and never properly learned the program. After taking the Noble Desktop class I started using it immediately in my concepts and designs. It is a valuable program to know and Michele taught the class in a simplified and easy to use manner. I highly recommend it.
  • Loved the class. Laura was very attentive, knowledgeable and helpful.
  • Adobe Illustrator CC/CS6

    Melissa was a wonderful instructor. She knew so much about the software yet was extremely patient.
  • Adobe Illustrator CC/CS6

    The instructor Mellissa was great. I would definitely take another course of her again. She did an awesome job.
  • Adobe Illustrator CC (2022)

    Melissa was a wonderful instructor. She knew so much about the software yet was extremely patient.
  • Perfect class for beginners. The teacher was very patient and clearly covered the basic tools and assigned exercises to practice them.
  • The instructor had a really good pace and shared some very useful and easy to remember tips on how to use the software. I'd recommend it, for sure!
  • I liked that the class was hands on. It really helped seeing how the tools could be applied to real life projects.
