Hi there and welcome to Adobe Illustrator.
Now, in this video, I'm going to show you a bit about the interface and we are going to create a workspace
together.
Also, I will show you some very essential commands and shortcuts that you are going to use throughout
your life with Illustrator.
Let's start for this.
We need to open a file to give you a good examples, succumb to file and you have open and from what
you download the previous deeply select introduction that ehi and click open.
Simple.
Now, the first thing I want to take care of is the workspace, so please come to switch workspace on
the top, right, click on it and then you want to select essentials here.
This is the latest workspaces in state.
It should have ITIC.
So you click on it.
And most probably when you come back, it has the ticker.
Now, I would like you to reset it.
You will reset it.
It goes to factory standard if you like.
The next thing I want to do is to set up the toolbar because this is where our drawing tools and everything
is here.
Maybe you have your toolbar in one column like I have.
If you have enough space on your screen or maybe you have it not.
This is the Abelardo here.
You maybe have it in two columns.
So it's your choice to work on one or two columns depending on the space you have.
I'm going to go to one color.
All the tools are not on the toolbar.
We need to upgrade the toolbar.
In fact, to do that, come to the three dots here, edit toolbar, click on it and you will not see
there is a list of all the tools.
It's important to have all the tools inside the toolbar and then we can select to do that.
You come to the menu of the toolbar here, so it is the three lines, click on it and switch to advanced.
And now you have it maybe in one column or two columns, simple.
Now there is something else I would like you to take care of.
OK, once for all, come back to edit toolbar.
And there are these four icons here.
It's not time to explain to you what they do, but we are going to use them during the course and they
are actually very useful.
So please click on them and highlight them and let them appear in the toolbar Google will set.
In the toolbar here, you have two main tools that I would like to tell you about.
Now it is the Black Arrow or the selection tool and the White Arrow or the direct selection to.
The selection tool is your go to tool is the one you're going to use most because you can select objects,
big objects, OK, and move them around or stretch them and make them bigger and smaller.
OK, so that's why it's your go to tool.
And of course, you can select more and more of them around.
The direct election tool does a lot of work, so you're not just here, not only the object selected,
but lots of details and certain things and anchor points have been selected.
This is because you can click on one of them, for example, and you can move the details around the
corners, for example, or even amend curves and stories like this.
Some essential shortcuts, you surely want to zoom in on certain objects.
Now the first human is through the mouse scroll.
You can hold the option or the alky on the PC and zoom in using your mouse scroll.
If you are the Mac, you know exactly how to do it.
Now, that's what happened here.
It's always closer towards the mouse pointer.
So if the mouse pointer goes out, you're lost.
So this is a nice way, a fun way to do zooming in and zooming out.
But that is better.
Most of the time, we don't want just to zoom in once select an object and zoom on this subject.
I will go for this action tool.
So the shortcut here is command and equal sign or the plus sign on the main keyboard.
Here you are.
So not just the object now has to be centered in the middle of the screen and you are zooming towards
it.
OK, the command or control minus on the keyboard, you're not just now you are zooming out.
OK, that's pretty cool.
Right now.
The last one in zoom is the command or control zero.
It's something on your board and try to display as much as possible.
Very useful techniques.
Now I zoomed out and then there is the space bar, the space bar, space bar.
You click and drag very useful because most of the time you want to be, for example, here and zoom
in even more.
Now you want to see what's around there on the corner, the press bar, and move it around so I can
see.
Go back here, move it here, go back.
It's very useful and I'm sure you'll will get used to it.
Our next stop here is to create a new document that's good to file.
And it's got a new.
And here you have a lots of presents, including the one you have used recently and the one you haven't
saved, OK?
And you have the mobile web print or whatever you like, you know, that's what's happening here.
If you saw that letter, which is an American, it is always measured in point six, 12 by seven nine
two.
Actually, letters should be in inches.
That's how we work in printers.
Even work like this, everybody.
Now, if you select A4, it goes back to points and up.
OK, you have to put it in millimeters back two millimeters to 10 by two nine seven three.
It doesn't matter.
You can always use any units that you want.
So I'm going to select a letter, for example, and create a new document.
So this is our airport, so it's the latter size and you notice here when I don't select anything,
no selection, I can see the document.
These are points I can still change into inches if I like to.
And you can edit Albats, so this is the board and to edit it, you can click over here or click on
the two.
For now I'm going to click edit.
Albert is nicer and you'll notice that there is a binding box for the album.
And actually the album tool has been selected here.
You can click and drag and make it bigger, smaller the way you would like, and now you have a size
that nobody wants.
So you can reset that.
Come back to a letter.
Very easy.
And if you like to zoom.
You can, of course, create many other airports in the size that you like, these are very nice, able
to put some more care and make sure you don't send them to the printer or to the Web.
And also you can add a new ad.
But first, I'm going to undo this, too.
If you are not bored, you will have a similar airport here.
Let's zoom in so you have now to our board.
Of course, you can click and drag a move your elbows with whatever is inside around if you want to.
You can delete an ad board, but the artwork inside will not be deleted if you go out.
But we don't want you anymore.
So these are the major things.
And later on, I'll give you more details and I will see you in the next picture.
Starting to work, some awesome artworks.
