How can you manipulate a path/line in Illustrator? Discuss the use of the white arrow tool, pen+, pen-, and convert tool.
The white arrow tool can drag a line into a different space. It can also change a curve of a line by clicking and dragging a handle. The pen+ tool adds an anchor point, and the pen- tool deletes an anchor point.
How can you utilize the layers palette in Illustrator?
You can put different elements of the design on different layers. This allows you to work on different parts and not have to worry about accidentally changing a line on another part of the design by accident. Additionally, when designing the textures it helped my eyes not get overwhelmed by not having to look at all of the design at once.
How do you create a clipping mask in Adobe Illustrator?
You make a shape that has no border or inside and you make sure it is at the front of the design. You then select all the elements within the shape that you want to clip and go to object, then clipping mask then make.
