AppClinc 194 – Illustrator CS5: Shape Builder Tool




appclinic - graphic design tutorials » Podcast Feed show

Summary: The new Creative Suite is out and we're going to take a look at some of what it has to offer. If you're familiar with the functions of the Pathfinder panel in previous versions of Illustrator and use them in your workflow, I believe the new Shape Builder Tool in Illustrator CS5 is going to prove quite useful. It shares much of the same functions as the panel, but is in a more intuitive and easier to use tool. We'll take a look at how this can speed up tasks that used to involve making multiple selections and using the panel for additions and subtractions.
