    DESIGNING VECTOR BACKGROUND

                     Creating a vector background in Adobe Illustrator allows for scalable, high-quality designs that
                     can be used for websites, posters, presentations and more. Below is a step-by-step guide to
                     designing a vector background.

                     CREATING VECTOR BACKGROUNDS
                     Designing vector backgrounds in Illustrator is a creative process that involves using gradients,

                     shapes, patterns and textures. By experimenting with different tools and effects, you can create
                     visually appealing designs suited for various purposes. Some of the key tools are as follows:

                     Selection Tool

                     The Selection Tool (V) in Adobe Illustrator is one of the most important tools for editing and
                     manipulating objects. It allows you to select, move, resize, rotate and align objects within your
                     workspace. Click on the Selection Tool (V) in the Tools Panel or use the keyboard shortcut V to
                     activate the Selection Tool (V).

                     Pen Tool

                     The Pen Tool in Adobe Illustrator is a powerful vector drawing tool used to create precise paths,
                     shapes and curves using anchor points and curves. It is one of the most essential tools for creating
                     scalable  vector graphics, such as logos, illustrations  and typography  designs.  We can create
                     straight or curved lines using Pen Tool.

                     Perform the following steps to create straight Lines:

                     Step  1   Click on the Pen Tool (P) in the
                               Tools Panel or use the keyboard
                               shortcut  P to activate the  Pen
                               Tool.

                     Step  2   Click once on the artboard to
                               place the first anchor point.

                     Step  3   Click again somewhere else to
                               create a straight line.

                     Step  4   Continue  clicking to  create  a
                               series  of connected  straight
                               lines.

                     Step  5   To complete the shape, click on the first point.

                     Step  6   To stop the path, press Esc or outside the path.

                                                                                         Introduction to Adobe Illustrator  41
