    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

  • http://www.krebernik.eu Mac

    Very tricky for a german CS3 user :)

  • http://jonprestonstudios.com Jon Preston

    I got a 77%… Damn Area Type tool and Lasso tool… two that I never use lol.

    Cool. 77.78%. Not too bad for an illustrator newbie i suppose. More of a photoshop kinda person.
    Nice one Vectortuts

      I think your browser is blocking it. The Quiz is made using a plugin for WP.

      It’s a plugin, perhaps your browser is blocking it.

    Im glad I scored 100% I teach Graphic Design at a college.

  • http://font.is Sigurdur Armannsson

    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.
