In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Laura Coyle demonstrates how to convert legacy static symbols to Illustrator’s newer dynamic symbols. She then shows how easy it is to make changes to individual symbols as well as global changes.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
