Hello my friends. It is the end. You made it to the end. Hooray. We are here. Um, it's kind of bittersweet.

Um, we've spent loads of time together,  but now it's the end of the course. But don't worry, there's lots more to do after this. Um, but yeah, I just wanted to  congratulate you'd make it to the end. You need it 'cause man, there's like a hundred  and something videos, quizzes and all sorts of stuff. Um, yeah, nice work while everyone else is doom scrolling,  you are out here learning stuff so yeah, congratulations. But there's good news.

We get to carry on more  'cause there's lots of other courses. Um, so you finished, uh, illustrator Advance now. So, um, the next thing you might go  and do, depending if you've done it already  or have skills in it, is there is kinda the design trio  that generally go together. Photoshop and InDesign go with Illustrator quite well. So Photoshop is obviously photo manipulation  and InDesign if you haven't really used that much. It's more around larger documents, newsletters, manuals,  books, um, anything that's a bit larger and generally print.

That is another one. Uh, you know, kind of a another part  of the gang and general and the courses. There are an essentials in advance of both of those as well. Other things you might do, Lightroom is a fun course, okay? For photo, uh, for getting into photography,  even amateur photography. Um, you might go down the kind of web route  and you might go the UX design side, which is Figma  or XD Gate  or you might go down the kind of design  web side, kind of a bit more actual, not quite coding,  but design designing websites,  actually making them using something called Webflow.

Um, or you might go down the full coding side  and I do a web essentials course, kind of HTL  and CSS and a little bit JavaScript. So that might be something you do. Video might be the next thing you're interested in. I got our Premier Pro course and an  after effects course you might check those others,  there's loads of courses. Um, so hopefully there's something else  that you might continue on and we get to hang out some more. But for now, that's kind of it.

Hang on, sorry. Uh, brain went foggy there. It's only so long I can keep these, um, monologues going. Without checking my notes. I've checked the notes. The next one is I wanted to thank, um, the editors  that spent a lot of time on these courses.

So, um, uh, Jason Hummels  and Taylor Koman, they spend loads of time, um,  and Taylor Sloan as well for uh, doing the reviews. So thank you to those team plus all the bigger,  bringing a laptop team for all  the work that goes into these courses. Now I've got an ask for you if you've enjoyed this course. You're like, man, that was really good. Um, I would love a referral. So that's what keeps my business alive  and keeps me doing this and making new  courses is referrals from you.

So it, everyone's a little different. You might, it might be a blog post, it might be a,  not a blog post, but a link or a Reddit post  or a social media post of like, this is a course I did. It was brilliant. You should go check it out. Anything you can think of a backlink, uh,  I'm trying to think of other things. That's probably it.

But if you can think of something that,  uh, you can send people my way, um, that would be great. Let me know in the comments as well  how you enjoyed this course. Okay, I love to read the comments at the end. So do that. Now the other things you can do here at Bring your own  laptop, you've got, um, you know,  we've talked about the certificate,  so make sure you get the certificate, the merit certificate  and the, you know, the distinction as well. You can go back and do those if you like.

Actually I'm gonna go back and do those, do them. Um, the other thing you can do is design challenges. So we run regular design challenges. You've probably seen them. Um, we've got new ones  that come out, but also there's lots  of other ones, like older ones. I don't wanna call 'em molder 'cause this, they're great.

There's a brief, you can see other people's examples  and it's a great way of practicing some  of the things you've learned  to give yourself something to do. 'cause sometimes you're like, all right, what are we gonna  go do now if you don't have a, you know,  burning Hot client project, go check out the um, projects,  see something that would be appropriate  for Illustrator and submit them. You can still submit challenges  and we still see them post them in the feed. Um, you know, use that as a good, a good starting off point  for portfolio building and practicing your skills. So check out the design challenges. Lastly, uh, group bookings.

If you are part of a larger organization, either a school,  university, an organization  and you do want to get your other teammates, um, uh,  leveled up, uh, check out there's a group bookings, um,  section on the website or you can just contact us  and we can help get other people upskilled either in your  classroom or in your office. And that will be it. That is us. The sad time. Goodbye. I might see you another course.

Um, I hope you enjoyed the course. I love making it. I can't believe I get to do this for a job. And let me know in the comments what you thought  and I'll see you round, no doubt. Alright, I'll fade to black. We do a fade to black spin.

You ready? Goodbye.
