Hi everyone!
This is Kaukab Yaseen from Kdigits.
Friends, it's a beginner level video.
That is all about document setting in Illustrator.
In this video you will be able to know that how to create a new document in Illustrator.
Friends, this new document can be a single-page document or it can contain multiple pages,
as we're about to see.
So let's start.
First, go up to the File menu and choose the New command, which has a standard
keyboard shortcut of Control + N. As we click here we'll bring up the New Document
dialogue box.
First, we'll change the document name, as I paste here, you can give any name of your
choices, but meaningful name is always a good practice.
Friends, this could be just a temporary name because we can actually decide the document
file name when we save the file to the computer.
Next we have a Profile (document profile) where you can see a small triangular shape
at the other corner, that indicates additional available options.
Before discussing next option, I want to draw your attention that how options and their
values are interrelated here.
Like, when we already have Print selected in the profile section, then you can see Letter
in the Size tab and here we have some additional presets of standard paper sizes.
Also, we have a Points by default selected in the Units tab.
Now we'll select another profile like: I select Web.
So we'll find some other presets related to the web within the Size option, and now you
can see Pixels within the Units.
Like that, if we select any other profile like Devices, then you can see here some devices
related prestes.
So for the sake of this demonstration, I switch back to the print.
Now we have Number of Artboards, in other words Number of Pages.
As I already told you in the beginning of this video that this document could be a multiple-
pages document.
So here I'm going to create a 4 pages document, as I mentioned here.
Also you can mention here how you want to get arranged your artboards, number of columns,
and what would be the distance between two artboards.
Friends, If you want to see that how can we work with more than one artboards than you
can take help with my business card design videos, in which I work on two separate artboards
for the front and back sides of the card within the same document.
You can see the video's link on the screen, link is also available under this video's
description.
Okay, so let's move forward.
We have already taken a look at size tab.
So let's discuss units, here a triangular shape again indicates availability of additional
options, as you can see here.
Friends we'll discuss all these units in our upcoming videos, but for now I'm going to
select inches.
As you already know that here we have different presets, but we can give custom values for
the width and height.
So I'll select the Width value, and change it to 4, and then I'll tab to the Height value,
and change it to 6 inches.
Now that ends up giving me a vertical orientation, as indicated by this highlighted icon.
Now if I select this horizontal orientation, then you can see Illustrator automatically
swaps the Width and Height values.
Here, I would like to tell you that each and every artboard inside your document can be
a different size and orientation.
Okay, here I switch back to the vertical orientation and let's talk about Bleed.
Basically, bleed is some area where you can extend your design beyond the edges of an
original document.
It's useful in commercial designing for borderless printing.
And so what I'm going to do is click one of the up arrow icons associated with Top, Bottom,
Left or Right, and because the link icon is turned on, all the values are changing in
kind.
And I'm going to click one of these up arrows a second time to tell the Illustrator that
I required.25 inches for the bleed.
Now we're going to ok our setting, and you can see that we have a new document containing
4 artboards.
Here you can see the given name of our document.
This red line represents the bleed, and the black outline indicates the selected artboard.
If I click this second artboard then you can notice it's outline that turned black and
indicates currently selected artboard.
You can also navigate these artboards from the bottom area.
So that's it for now.
Feel free to ask if you want to ask anything, you can write me in the comment section of
this video and also contact me with the provided links under the video's description.
So, we'll meet in our next session, till then Take care!
