Awesome quiz! More please :D
I got 100% but admittedly I had to pretend to use AI to get a couple rather than having them off the top of my head haha
Very tricky for a german CS3 user :)
I got a 77%… Damn Area Type tool and Lasso tool… two that I never use lol.
Exactly as per Jon. Oh the shame ;-)
same here, but i got a 66 due to the swatches question
Cool. 77.78%. Not too bad for an illustrator newbie i suppose. More of a photoshop kinda person.
Nice one Vectortuts
Link doesn’t work. Clicked on the “Quiz” button and just refreshes the same window. I must be doing something wrong?
I think your browser is blocking it. The Quiz is made using a plugin for WP.
Got 88.9%. Just got #6 :P
I got the same. Its really tricky for German Users :D
Damn 77% as well :D
66.67% :D haha.
88.89%, it’s the area type tool only :/
I feel like an idiot, how do I start the quiz? I have been clicking everywhere but no luck.
66.67 XD
The quiz won’t open for me. What am I doing wrong?
It’s a plugin, perhaps your browser is blocking it.
77.78% . In Spanish tool’s name are translated wrong a lot of times. It plus my poor English = 77.78%, Is not too bad, no? hehe
Cool, hehe
woo hoo 100%
Can’t find the quiz. What do I click on?
There’s a splash page. You may need to update your browser to make it work.
InDesign next!!
88.89% area type ;]
44% – not bad for a photoshop fan who has used illustrator twice in the last year.
Good! I scored 88.89% (wrong answer at #6……..)
woooo 100% score….
77.78% … :)
got Q# 5 & 6 wrong … :)
Im glad I scored 100% I teach Graphic Design at a college.
100% How about some very difficult ones?
1. How can you distribute x number of objects on a circle path of x diameter?
(there are at least two ways to do this)
2. Lets say you drew an object and started messing with it using the Gradient Mesh. Suddenly you need another copy of that object to use as a clipping mask. How to manage that since you have so to speak ruined the object when you used the Gradient mesh tool.
This is a basic quiz, we will work up to the harder ones over time. Thankyou for the suggestions.
How do you recover and object after converting it to a gradient mesh?
I can do better. 66.67%
100%!!!
I love Illustrator. lol I’ve got to admit, though, I almost missed the lasso question and I just learned about area type last night! What luck!
100% in probably just over a minute!
88.89% :D …
———————-> it’s should be better :)
77,78 love iiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt
66.67% Not bad for a person who just uses Illustrator for extracting .ai vector files. :D
