Set Up Your First Document in Adobe Illustrator

Kickstart your Illustrator journey with this quick tutorial: learn to pick the perfect preset (or start from scratch), tweak your settings, and save your own custom setup for future projects. You’ll also see how to add artboards and explore free templates—ideal for posters, logos, social graphics, or whatever creative idea you’ve got brewing.

Presented by Dave Clayton on Adobe Creative Cloud, the video walks you through each step in under three minutes and highlights the perks of a Creative Cloud membership—cloud storage, instant updates, Behance integration, and more—so you can spend less time fiddling with settings and more time bringing your designs to life.
