abobe •Illustrator notes


  • Illustrator is vector based and is not pixel based. it is better for graphics as it is more flexible and does not distort the image. 
  • it uses layers just like photoshop but make sure to lock it when you are not using it. 
  • selection and direct selection tools are key
  • fill to fill an object
  • stroke to add an outline
  • opacity makes it solid/ see through 
  • selection tool allows you to e.g rotate (just like photoshop) 
  • direct selection creates anchor points and anchor
  • shapes tool too are very useful 
  • effects e.g blur or 3D
  • you can import JPEGs and convert to vector using live trace for a stylized look 
  • text tool is used for selection to move, resize or rotate
  • window- type- character- experiment (manipulate e.g tracking and spacing) 
  • right click text to create outline. this creates anchor points which allows you to isolate and edit smaller parts of text. 
  • pen tool allows you to add to anchor points 
  • to export: file- export- PNG file- select high resolution. make colour transparent.
