    Where did you go when you fist started learning AI? What area did you start with?

    I want to mainly learn it to enter and actually have a decent chance at winning logo contests here on DP.

    Thanks

    edit-It's Illustrator cs2 just in case anybody wants to know what version

    search in google for Illustrator tutorials. Actually Illustrator CS2 is very easy just be creative and patient because a logo needs time and imagination

    As others have recommend, tutorials are your best bet. Here are some sites:

    Tutorialized
    Layers Mag
    Illustrator Techniques

    I would highly recommend getting to know and love the pen tool. It is a real pain to get used to it but it will become your best friend especially when creating logos.
