Adobe Tutorial

In this movie, I will show you how to create a new document inside Illustrator CS6 Tutorial . Like most of the movies in this course, this one has cross-platform. So even though Im showing you how things work on a PC, everything works exactly the same on a Mac. You start off much as you might imagine by going to the File menu and choosing the New command where you have that standard keyboard shortcut Ctrl+N here on a PC, or Command+N on a Mac. Thatll go ahead and bring up the New Document dialog box. Your first option is to name the document. Now technically you dont name the file until you save it, however this gives you a chance to identify the document upfront.



I am just going to paste in a name I created in advance because I am a terrible typist.  The next option allows you to select from a few predefined Profiles all of which will dial in settings inside this dialog box. So if you intend to create a document for Commercial Reproduction then you select Print. If youre trying to dummy up a web page then you select Web. If you want to create a document for a device such as an iPad or iPhone then you have got this Devices option and so forth. I am going to go ahead and switch to Device for a second so that you can see that we have a lot of different devices to select from. In the case of iPad however the information is little out of date. If youre designing for an iPad 3, then you want a Width 1536 pixels and a Height of 2048, much higher resolution than the earlier iPads.
