GET TO KNOW

Illustrator Workspace

Below is the workspace and some common terms for calling it. If you are using the latest

Adobe Illustrator CS3, you will notice to new design for Floating Palette. The rest looks about

the same.

Toolbox

This is the handy toolbox which we will use most often. By default, it comes in one single

column as shown in the screenshot above. To switch it back to the old 2 columns toolbox,

you can simply click the top left mini arrow to toggle it into 2 columns. Some of the tools like

Rectangle have more tools hidden. To expand, just click and hold the icon to reveal all the

similar tools under that group.

Floating Palette

This is the floating palette which contains properties for our shapes. It is commonly used for

changing colors and stroke width.
