Points & Paths

This site is for anyone that wants to know more about Illustrator and the world of vector graphics. From beginner to advanced, most will benefit. Tutorials on the site are written so that those just starting out can achieve successful results. Advanced users may want to skip and skim if the pace is kind of slow.

About Me…
My name is Mike Hamm and, besides running this site, I’m an interactive designer in the Seattle area. I also develop and teach Illustrator courses through Sessions College. If this weren’t enough, I’m also a writer having co-authored “Introduction to Web Design Using Dreamweaver”, provided several tutorials to Layers Magazine and contributed my technical editing skills to “Extreme Photoshop CS” and “Illustrator CS Most Wanted: Techniques and Effects”.

Thanks to…
This site, in all its misguided glory wouldn’t be possible without the support of kind strangers posting hacks and tips about HTML, CSS and scripting stuff. Software that makes this site possible includes Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Acrobat, Illustrator, Notepad, TextEdit, Snapz Pro X, FireFTP, Ta-da Lists and the TextPattern content management system.
