| Here are some general things to think about when using
Illustrator: |
| Illustrator creates VECTOR GRAPHIC files. These files
are usually very small in size, so don't be concerned
about problems with disk space. Save as many versions of your
project as you like. |
| These files will open (raster) in Adobe Photoshop (PS)
for conversion to other file formats. PS 7 and CS will open
Illustrator 10 and lower files. Earlier version of PS will
need lower version Illustrator files. |
| Place each element of your project on its own layer
and label it appropriately, so you can keep track of elements
more easily! |
Here is a PDF file with all the Key commands and Tools
used in these lessons.

Right mouse click on the file name and "Save link target as..."
then direct it to the area of your Userdata from where you
are working.

work every 10-15 minutes!!! |
