    Getting started

    In this lesson, you’ll finish the artwork of a wall clock as you explore the various ways to use the Layers panel.

    1.
    To ensure that the tools and panels function as described in this lesson, delete or deactivate (by renaming) the Adobe Illustrator CS4 preferences file. See “Restoring default preferences” on page 3.

    2.
    Start Adobe Illustrator CS4.

    Note

    If you have not already copied the resource files for this lesson onto your hard disk from the Lesson08 folder on the Adobe Illustrator CS4 Classroom in a Book CD, do so now. See “Copying the Classroom in a Book files” on page 2.

    3.
    Choose File > Open, and open the L8end.ai file in the Lesson08 folder, located in the Lessons folder on your hard disk.

    Note

    If the Layers panel in your workspace does not look exactly like the figure below, that’s okay. At this point, you just need to familiarize yourself with the panel.
