Chapter One. Creating and Managing Documents

Chapter One. Creating and Managing Documents

An artist can have a collection of the best paints and brushes, but those tools aren’t worth much unless the artist has a canvas to paint on. Likewise, all the powerful tools and functions in Adobe Illustrator CS4 are meaningless until you have a document open on your screen.

With Illustrator, the settings you specify for your document also control your final result.
