LESSON 1- ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR WORK AREA
Adobe Ilustrator is a vector graphics editor. Vector graphics are made up of lines
and curves defined by mathematical objects called VECTORS
Application Bar- it contains a workspace switcher, the menu bar, and application
controls.
Control Panel- displays options for the currently selected object
Panel- helps you monitor and modify your work
Tools Panel- it contains tools for creating and editing images, artwork, page
elements, and more.
Panels give you quick access to many tools that make modifying artwork easier.
A dock is a collection of panels or panel groups that are displayed together.
Artboards represent the regions that can contain printable artwork. You can use
artboards to crop areas for printing or placement purposes.
Five Basic File Formats
-AI
-PDF
-EPS
-FXG
-SVG
These formats are called native formats because they can preserve all Ilustrator
data, including multiple artboards.
Version- specifies the version of Illustrator with which you want your file to be
compatible.
Subset Embedded Fonts when Percent of Characters Used is Less Than- specifies when
to embed the entire font based on how many of the font's characters are used in the
document.
Create PDF Compatible File- saves a PDF representation of the document in the
illustrator file.
Include Linked Files- embeds files that are linked to the artwork.
Embed ICC Profiles- creates a color managed document.
Use Compression- compresses PDF data in the illustrator file.
Save Each Artboard to a Separate File- creates a separate master file that includes
all of the artboards
Transparency Options- determines what happens to transparent objects
