I normally only use “points” for font size or stroke width, so adjusting the units in your default workspace will save you one extra step in future documents. I typically prefer inches (for print) or pixels (for web). Units: First up, adjust the units to your preference. Here are a few starting points, but feel free to customize to what suits your workflow best. Once the typography + colors are set to your liking, you can think about the rest of the workspace. This will save you loads of time from referencing previous files, or manually typing in the color values. These are a great starting point, however if you have an existing brand you work with, or your own brand, you most likely will want to trade out the defaults for your brand colors. Customize default brand swatchesįirst up, let’s get rid of the default swatches in Illustrator. Select the profile that best suits your needs (typically print or web), and we will adjust the settings from here. To kick things off, create a new document using one of Adobe’s preset profiles. There are SO many options to customize your workspace, so I hope these few tips help improve efficiency and allow you to spend more time designing. Rather than frequently performing the same tasks, it is time you finally set up your Illustrator workspace to best suit how you work! Everyone works differently, so Adobe embraces that and allows you to customize this robust tool to improve efficiency.
You’ve found your loophole for locating the files, but still find yourself repeatedly performing the same tasks in Adobe Illustrator. You frequently use the same color swatches, typefaces and graphic elements. I hope this tutorial helps speed up your process! Since sharing my Illustrator + graphic design process in the Share-worthy Design course, I’ve put together systems that streamline my workflow.
