    ADDING BACKGROUNDS

                      We can add a background to our Illustrator image by following the given steps:

                      Step  1   Select the Rectangle Tool (M).
                      Step  2   Click  and  drag to  create  a
                                rectangle covering the artboard.

                      Step  3   Click  the  Fill box and  choose  a
                                colour or gradient.

                      Step  4   Right-click  the rectangle and
                                select Arrange > Send to Back.

                      Step  5   Lock the background by selecting
                                Object > Lock > Selection

                                CREATING ILLUSTRATIONS

                      Varied illustrations can be created with the help of Illustrator.

                      Let us understand how different shapes can be created.

                      DRAWING A TRIANGLE

                      Illustrator doesn’t have a direct Triangle Tool, but you can create one using the Polygon Tool.

                      Step  1   Select the Pen Tool (P).

                      Step  2   Click on the artboard to create
                                the first anchor point.

                      Step  3   Click  to  create  the  second
                                point.

                      Step  4   Click again to create the third
                                point.

                      Step  5   Close  the path  by  clicking on
                                the first point.
