Отрывок из книги
In Adobe Illustrator CC For Dummies, I draw on my “long strange trip” (to borrow from the Grateful Dead) with Illustrator. I’ve drawn bus maps in Los Angeles (yes, they have buses in LA), designed infographics, and created architectural renderings for commercial real-estate developers. I’m not an artist, but I’ve collaborated with fine artists to port their work to giclée prints. I’ve conducted seminars for commercial printers and artists, and designed logos and icons for app and web navigation. And every day I discover or explore some new way to use Adobe Illustrator in the rapidly evolving world of illustration and design.
Along the way, I’ve written or co-authored more than a dozen books on Illustrator and other apps in Adobe Creative Suite, and created course materials on Illustrator for Adobe. Still, I’m fully aware that my own experience only scratches the surface of everything Illustrator can do.

You can have 1 to 1,000 artboards per document. I’ve never used 1,000 artboards in a project, but it’s nice to know they’re there if I need them. As I explain in the beginning of this chapter, you can set the number of artboards for a document when you first create it, but you can also add and remove artboards after you begin work on a document.
The Artboard tool is part of the Basic toolset (I explain how to manage tools in Chapter 1). You create artboards in a document by selecting the Artboard tool and drawing interactively on the canvas, as shown in Figure 2-3.
