How can you manipulate a path/line in Illustrator? Discuss the use of the white arrow tool, pen+, pen-, and convert too.
By using the pen+ and pen- tools, we can add anchors to the lines of our design in order to make a more precise piece of work. For instance, if there is a line that didn't turn out exactly how you wanted it when you used the pen tool, such as it curved too far in one direction, you can add an anchor with the pen+ tool, and flatten our or round the line whichever way you want.
How can you utilize the layers palette in Illustrator?
To utilize the layers palette, first you must understand how to use the tools. It is useful to know that you can hide backgrounds without hiding the design you made on top, but they have to be on different layers. And also, if you feel like you're not going to have to manipulate part of a design anymore, you can lock it so that it wont move. This is temporary, of course. Plus, if you accidentally put something on a layer that you didn't mean to, you can always make a new layer and drag it there, or just place it on another layer you already have, if that's where you were trying to put it.
How do you create a clipping mask in Adobe Illustrator?
First, you make a rectangle/square around the part of the design you want to keep, and make it no line and no fill. Then, click Object for the top drop down menus, then Arrange, and then Bring to Front. This it to ensure that the rectangle is in the front of your design. Then, take your black arrow tool, and drag a box around your entire design. Lastly, you click object again from the drop down menus, then go down to Clipping Mask, and click make.
