In-Depth Information
When the file is open and Illustrator is fully launched, the Application bar, menus,
Tools panel, Control panel, and panel groups appear on the screen. Docked on the right
side of the screen, you will see the default panels that appear as icons. Illustrator also
consolidates many of your most frequently accessed options in the Control panel below
the menu bar. This lets you work with fewer visible panels and gives you a larger area
in which to work.
You will use the L1start_1.ai file to practice navigating, zooming, and investigating an
Illustrator document and the workspace.
