Adobe Illustrator Day 1 (Opening up the Hood)

Welcome to Adobe Illustrator. This is a VECTOR-based program that uses mathematics to create scalable lines, shapes, and text. Today I will be showing you around the program a bit before we jump into creating a simple design using your name. We will cover how to open a new document, get an understanding of the toolbar and properties panel, create rectangles, add color, and use the type tool.
