a lower-body welcome to another illustrator cs6 tutorial
my name is buddy Blackford today we're gonna
star learning about the illustrator interface
and orders is going to be the
pretty much the first getting started video that we're gonna use so
let's go over the illustrator and you
so for so far are the interface so first of all let's
create a new document go to file
and we'll go to New and then we got a new document
now you can name it whatever you need to and for Billy something that's
recognizable to the project you're working on
and then
we've got E profile here
and it pretty much these are
allister settings for these settings down here we've got our boards which are
the I 3 much the white canvas
here that you got going to be working on and then you got your wit your hey
and then we've got some pre says sizes and then
I'm we've got some police here which I go over all this other stuff
%uh later on so disco had an okay so we can just have something up here
to look at and and now you can see what we've
I'll got going on here we got some
guides appears more guides and are these guys that are on here right now
are for TV and
ok over these as some point in time and a little more depth
so let's go over the interface appear we've got are
menus and these are display lists above commands
you can use our second
that we've got down here is the
a we got the application bar and
there this is that these israeli here and this changes like the layout
and since we don't have any other I can visit to look at not gonna change up
but at some point we'll go over that
and this pun here takes you to a bridge and that's like
a program that'll be made day
it's like count like the so the windows it's kinda like this
in fact click on it a Sharia might take a second to load up
so and it's basically like
a I'm final
binder kinda think a that's what bridges
and then you can use that to like impor-
campuses and things like that we've got our control panel
over here and
displays the options for the Kercher are currently selected to all
that this whole section here and you see we've got different things for different
to also click on another tool
and a pen tool
and
and here's the text and you can see more stats popping up so you can see the
different things coming up now every tool has our budget different stuff on
it
so gonna come over here to the left and this is the
Tools panel and contains trying and other related tools
and you can use these to manipulate graphics and over here on the rate we've
got the panel's panel
and these a pretty much
give you the tools to modify check your documents says
so things like I your parents your color
your layers in your link so this is the layers
you got a different our ports here and man
at different things that are end up going over at some point pretty soon
probably
this site
section appear is called the document went 0
our window and this is going to contain all the list the open documents of open
another one
you can see I can move back and forth between documents
here and in the middle here this is the are bored and that's the
workspace four-year illustrator designs
and then and the back here is
go to this one here this back this gray area that's a canvas
and that provides the work area Alyssa aside at the airport
so I can I'll go ahead and grab something
and I can move out and it's so be outside
up there it's a helps to organize things and get them out of the way if you
really need to
now what's new in
cs6 is you can I change the user interface
brightness up a little bit so if you don't like the style that you've got
goal to edit will go to preferences
and user interface and we've got
does brightness here and we can change it
to whatever we need to whatever you feel is better on your eyes and whatever
you like more and I went to medium dark to try to keep in between two
I am can appeal to everybody but
you do it you put it on whatever you want to it's not going to affect the way
we go through our tutorials
so that's going to be it for that story about the interface
I'm actually we got down here actually for gotta go over
I'm we've got this section here where tells us what tool we have selected
so right now have the Direct Selection Tool FIIs
picked this one we've got there selection tool and I'll come down to
hear it now we've got the gradient better zoom out here
in on screen wall pretty much I help you out the most I think
and then we've got here are our boards and since we only have one on one
shows up and you can use these panels here to
to switch between our ports and as you can see it
you can have more than one are poured in a document that way you don't have to
have a budget document so when you can
are kinda just go through each one town like
atmosphere ever used Excel you have different
workbooks and and this one you have different airports
so now arm we're done with this
I tutorial about the interface and in the next tutorial we're gonna start
going over
are %ah panels how to show I'll are different panels and hide them
so we can go over these that over here on the right
now you know what I'm talking about when I talk about like maybe the menu bar or
the artboard
or the Tools panel so it's a good way to start now
and I look forward to seeing as an exit or real have a good one
