Making paths is only as fun as the colors you apply to the Strokes and Fills. So let’s have some fun!

In this Color Basics class we won’t cover ALL of they many, many ways color can be created, applied, and edited in Illustrator, but we’ll show you a whole bunch to get you on your way.

Some of what we’ll cover includes:

• The Swatches Panel
• The Color Panel
• Using the Color Picker
• Global Color Swatches
• Creating a Swatch using the Eyedropper Tool
• Swatches Library
• Loading Swatches from other sources
• Creating Color Groups
• And whatever else I think of while I’m recording

If you don’t know the correct way to create colors, you could be in for some lost time making corrections later, or production problems during output and printing.

So this class isn’t just about making a file pretty, it’s about creating a file that’s pretty AND will be editable and dependable for final output, whether digital or print.
