Project Summary

The skills that you learned in this project will serve as the foundation for most work you create in
Illustrator. You learned how to place raster images as templates, from which you created scalable vector
graphics that will work in virtually any printed application. You learned a number of techniques
for selecting objects and component pieces of objects, as well as various options for aligning objects
relative to one another and to the artboard.
You learned how to draw primitive geometric shapes, and how to control the color of objects’ fill
and stroke attributes. You used a number of transformation options, including cloning methods to
copy existing objects. Finally, you learned how to draw freeform shapes to suit more complex needs.
As you move forward in this book, you will build on the basic skills you learned in this project to
create increasingly complex artwork.

Draw, shear, reflect, Use stroke properties to
and clone basic shapes create unique artwork
