Illustrator
It is a program focused on
artistic creation of
drawings and painting for
illustration (Illustration as
part of the digital art and
graphic design).
Is from Adobe family, so it
is compatible with any
program of this family.
Its principal objective is
the illustration using
vectors.
Illustrator
Es un programa enfocado a la creacin artstica de dibujo y
pintura para ilustracin (ilustracin como rama del arte
digital aplicado a la ilustracin tcnica o el diseo grfico).
Es un programa de la familia Adobe, por lo que es
compatible con los programas de dicha familia.
Su principal objetivo es la ilustracin a travs de vectores.
Vectors
A vectorial image is a digital
image done with independent
geometric figures (segments,
polygones, arcs, circles, etc.)
Each one is defined by different
mathematic atributes of form,
position, color, etc. For
example, a red circle will be
defined by the position of its
center, its radius, its line
thickness and color.
The vectorial image can be
deformed or manipulated
without loosing its quality
because of the math curves
that create it.
Vectores
Una imagen vectorial es
una imagen digital formada por
objetos geomtricos
independientes (segmentos,
polgonos, arcos, etc.), cada uno
de ellos definido por distintos
atributos matemticos de forma,
de posicin, de color, etc. Por
ejemplo un crculo de color rojo
quedara definido por la posicin
de su centro, su radio, el grosor
de lnea y su color.
La imagen vectorial, al estar formada
por curvas matemticas, se puede
agrandar infinitamente sin perder
su calidad.

New file
Illustrator works with CMYK and 300dpis resolution for default because it is used for
printing and vectors dont have a real resolution because they are imaginary lines.
Pen
Then pen is the most
important tool in this
program.
It works the same way as in
Photoshop and is used to
do traces with vectors
using the anchors.
La pluma es la herramienta
ms importante de este
programa. Es semejante
a la de Photoshop, sirve
para hacer trazos con
vectores utilizando
puntos de ancla.

Predeterminated forms
The program have
some shapes that are
still vectors:
Rectangles
Elipses
Polygones
Star
Lens flare
Figuras predeterminadas
El programa presenta
algunas figuras
predeterminadas que
siguen siendo
vectores como son:
Rectngulos
Elipse
Polgono
Estrella
Elipses
Guardar como
Se utiliza el comando para guardar los archivos en
formatos que utilizan vectores como .ai, .eps, etc.
Export
Is used to save files in different image formats (no
vectors) like .jpg, .bmp, .dwf (autocad), etc.

Layers
The layers work a little bit
like Photoshop and
Sketchbook pro: they are
transparent, can be
blocked and the one on
the top cover the lower.
The great difference is that
a vector can be changed
from layer to other.
In Illustrator is very
important to use layers
because it helps to have
more order while working
and is easier for selection.
Capas
Las capas funcionan casi de
la misma manera que en
Photoshop y Sketchbook pro,
son transparentes, se pueden
bloquear y la que est hasta
arriba tapa las de abajo.
La diferencia es que un vector
puede cambiarse de capa.
En Illustrator es muy
importante utilizarlas, pues
ayuda a trabajar con mayor
orden y tambin para
selecciones ms rpidas y
precisas.
1. Create a new layer. 2. Select the vector with the cursor (left click on it). 3.
Go to the layers and select the new layer (the one you want to send the
vector). 4. Right click > Organize > Send to current layer.
1. Creamos una capa nueva. 2. Seleccionamos con el cursor el vector
(click izquierdo). 3. Seleccionamos la capa a la cual queremos enviar el
vector. 4. Click derecho > Organizar > Enviar a capa Actual.
