Adobe Tutorial

Illustrator is an exceedingly flexible program. It lets you create a single piece of artwork or a multi-page design. Only Illustrator has a special word for pages, it calls them artboards, because each artboard is less a page, and more a digital canvas. Within a single document, each artboard can be any size you want, and you can spread the artboards out anywhere, all across your desktop. This isnt page 1, page 2, page 3, page 4, this is artboard 1, artboard 2, artboard 3, artboard 4, really whatever you want. In this chapter, I show you how to create artboards wherever you like, even if it means creating artboards inside other artboards. And then I show you how to clean them up so that all the artboards fall into perfect alignment. You can work however you like, Illustrator knows its job is to keep up with you.
