Video: Illustrator for sign design – the Rectangle/Square tool

Adobe Illustrator has long been a helpful tool for designers and sign makers. It’s vector based, which makes it a natural for cut graphics, and it also works great for printed graphics. In this helpful video—the first in a series of four—Mike Jackson shows how to put the Rectangle/Square tool to work.

You’ll see how to work with this essential shape, create corners and borders, convert to outlines and more—plus learn plenty of shortcuts. Upcoming videos show how to get the most out of the circle/ellipse, polygon and star tools to create shapes and panels that you can use in your work every day, quickly and easily.
