>> Hello, and welcome to this video tutorial brought
-
to you by TastyTuts.com.
-
In this video, we're going to take a closer look
-
at artboards in Adobe Illustrator.
-
In the last episode, I demonstrated how
-
to create a custom workspace.
-
If you have not seen that episode,
-
the workspace is basically a panel set up,
-
here in Adobe Illustrator.
-
For this tutorial, we will be using this workspace,
-
and along the way we will be referencing the artboard panel.
-
Which is situated here, next to my layers panel.
-
And if you can't see this,
-
you can simply select the panel up here to reveal it.
-
If you don't have the artboard panel active,
-
you can either skip to the previous video,
-
if you have not seen it.
-
Or simply come up to the top and you select window
-
and click artboard to activate your artboard panel.
-
To follow along with this tutorial, you will need
-
to open this document I have prepared especially
-
for this tutorial.
-
This can be found in the Introduction folder
-
in the Project folder.
-
Now, you can download this Project folder for free.
-
The link is in the description.
-
So, with the Project folder open, click Introduction,
-
Artboard, Versions, and select the version
-
of Illustrator you're using.
-
In my case, it's CC.
-
And open the artboard's file.
-
And you should have something that looks like this.
-
Okay. So, what are artboards in Adobe Illustrator?
-
Well, to put it simply, they are canvases
-
that make up a document.
-
Adobe Illustrator allows you
-
to create multiple artboards in a document.
-
This is useful if you want to create small documents spreads,
-
like a leaflet or a flyer.
-
Or simply expand your workspace area
-
to create various versions of your artwork.
-
You can even use this method to create digital presentations.
-
So, here I have a document open, which is like a small leaflet.
-
And we can see here, that this consists
-
of six portrait A4 artboards.
-
And as you can see, I have
-
numbered them and colored them accordingly.
-
Now if we come over to our side panels and navigate
-
to the Artboards panel,
-
you can see this panel contains a list.
-
This list represents all the artboards contained
-
in my current document.
-
As you can see, I am currently zoomed out quite a bit,
-
so we can see the entire document artboard.
-
Though, if I choose a artboard in the panel, let's say,
-
Artboard six, here, come to the gray area to the right
-
and double click, we can quickly navigate
-
to that particular artboard.
-
If I double click on the artboard name, however,
-
this will enable you to rename the artboard.
-
For example, let's rename this artboard
-
to Orange Six and click off.
-
Okay. So, I'm just going to zoom out a little
-
so we can see all of them.
-
Okay. So, let's say we want to make some changes
-
to the artboard arrangement.
-
Let's say we want to reorder some of the artboards.
-
For example, I'm going to select Artboard Four
-
on the Artboard panel.
-
And at the bottom
-
of the Artboard panel we can see some buttons.
-
With the Artboard Four selected, I'm going to press the Move
-
Down button a few times.
-
Notice how the artboard moves down on the panel,
-
but nothing really changes on the canvas area.
-
Well, this is because we now have to refresh the arrangement.
-
We can do this by coming to the top right-hand corner
-
of the Artboard panel and click on the Menu icon.
-
Then click Rearrange Artboard.
-
Up will pop a window.
-
For now, we are just going to click Ok, and upon click,
-
we will see the artboard has been repositioned.
-
If I want to move it back,
-
I'll simply select the artboard on the panel.
-
But this time, click on the Move Up button.
-
Once I'm happy, I'm going to again click
-
on the artboard menu panel Options button,
-
select Rearrange Artboards, and click Ok.
-
And the page is back where it was to start.
-
Okay. So, let's say we want to remove an artboard.
-
This can be done by selecting the artboard
-
on the Artboard panel.
-
Let's say, Artboard Three.
-
Simply come to the bottom of the Artboard panel and click Delete.
-
Now, notice how the artwork still remains.
-
So, we're going to have to select the objects and then,
-
delete them, though, now we have this space
-
where the old artboard was.
-
Just like earlier, if we come to the top right
-
of the Artboard panel, click, and select Rearrange Artboard.
-
Then click Ok.
-
The document will refresh.
-
Excellent.
-
So, what if we want to add some artboards?
-
Well, to do this we simply click a place on the Artboard panel
-
where we want to add a new board.
-
For example, I'm going to select Artboard Four in the panel.
-
Then, click the New Artboard button on the bottom
-
of the Artboard panel.
-
Then, I'm going to click on Artboard Five on the panel
-
and click the Add New Artboard, again.
-
But notice this time, how the artboards are just added
-
on the side.
-
Well, again, if I come to the top right of the Artboard panel
-
and click the Menu, select Rearrange, click Ok,
-
the document will refresh and we can see the correct pagination.
-
Nice. I'm just going to undo that,
-
as I don't want these pages.
-
Now, what if we want to add a new artboard,
-
but in a different size?
-
Well, here we can use the Artboard Tool.
-
If we come to the Menu on the far left
-
and look towards the bottom, we have the Artboard Tool.
-
If we click this, you will notice we go into a new mode,
-
where we can attempt to create a new artboard.
-
So, to begin, we can either click and drag
-
to create a custom artboard size, or we can come
-
up to the Control Panel and select from a list of presets.
-
And here, we have a lot to choose from.
-
We have some paper sizes, some screen sizes,
-
and some mobile and web screen sizes.
-
But since this is a print document, let's go for a three.
-
And upon click, the previously drawn artboard is changed
-
to a three.
-
Then, I'm going to come up to the top
-
and change the page orientation to landscape.
-
Once I'm happy with this, I can press V
-
to activate the selection tool and click
-
to jump back to the Normal Mode.
-
But notice how it appears oddly placed.
-
Well, again, if I come to the top right of the Artboard panel,
-
click the Menu, select Rearrange, click Ok,
-
the document will refresh and we can see the correct layout.
-
So, what if we want to change the page orientation
-
of an existing artboard?
-
Well, to do this we simply click
-
on an artboard, let's say number two.
-
With the artboard selected, I will come to the top right
-
of the Artboard panel, click the Menu button.
-
This time, I'm going to select Artboard Options.
-
Upon click, a different Options window will appear.
-
If you look closely, we can see an Orientation option.
-
Currently, we can see this is set to Portrait.
-
If I click on the Landscape and click Ok,
-
you will now see the artboard change
-
from Portrait to Landscape.
-
By now, you should now know what you need to do, next.
-
We are going to need to refresh this layout.
-
So, again, if I come to the top right of the Artboard panel
-
and click the Menu, select Rearrange, click Ok,
-
the document will refresh.
-
But notice this time,
-
the artwork on the artboards have not moved with the pages.
-
So, in this instance, we are going to have
-
to select the elements on the page and move them
-
into the correct position.
-
For now, I'm simply going to press Undo to go back
-
to my previous layout of six artboards.
-
So, that's how we can rearrange, remove artboards,
-
and use the Artboard Tool, and change the orientation
-
of existing artboards.
-
So, currently, my artboards are displayed
-
in three columns, here.
-
Now, what if I want to change this?
-
Well, this can be done quite simply.
-
If I come to the top right of the Artboards panel
-
and click the Menu, select Rearrange,
-
up will pop the familiar Options panel.
-
If we look closely, we can see towards the top an option called
-
Layout and a series of icons to the right of this.
-
These icons represent different artboard composition layouts,
-
here in Illustrator.
-
So, currently, we have our layout set to Grid by Row
-
and with the columns set to three.
-
Let's try changing this.
-
Let's say five and press Ok.
-
Now, you can see the layout has changed.
-
If we come back to the Rearrange menu, like earlier,
-
but this time select the Grid by Column option,
-
and enter four rows and click Ok, again,
-
the layout has changed.
-
If we come back to the Rearrange menu, again, this time I'm going
-
to select Layout by Column, click Ok.
-
And you can see the change.
-
I'm simply going to press Undo a few times to go back
-
to my previous layout.
-
So, that covers Artboards in Adobe Illustrator.
-
In the next video, we will be learning
-
about some vector basics and how we can begin
-
to operate in Adobe Illustrator.
-
So, I'll see you in the next video.
