So I'm just going to click on the, create new button and take a look at the new document window. All right, here I am an illustrator and we can actually customize art boards right when we're making a new project. So let's start with illustrator and take a look. And that's exactly what I'm going to show you how to do in this video. This way you can keep all of your assets that will eventually be in the final animation, all in the same document and just use these art boards as multiple frames for that sequence of animation. Jake Bartlett (01:39): Just think about designing boards for a sequence of animation. And it still is a really great tool for that purpose, but that's much more for the print world, whereas in the MoGraph world, the reason you would want multiple frames within a single document is so that you could create artwork for multiple frames without having to create more project files. InDesign is the program that was really from multi-page documents and that's what it has always been. Neither program was ever designed to handle multiple documents within the same document. So if you needed multiple frames to come out of the same document, you would basically have to layer things, turn them on and off and export them. What's really nice about them is that they allow you to have multiple canvases within a single document illustrator and Photoshop, both used to only allow you to have one canvas within a single document. Jake Bartlett (00:43): Now what are art boards? You can think of an art board in either of these programs as the canvas that you're creating your artwork on. Or you can follow the link in the description of this video. And if you want to work right along with me, then you can download those project files for free right here at school of motion. Now I'm going to be working with some project files a little bit later in this video. I'm going to talk to you about what art boards are and why you should be using them, how we can work with them in both illustrator and Photoshop, as well as exporting multiple art boards from both pieces of software. And in this tutorial, we're going to learn about art boards in illustrator and Photoshop. Jake Bartlett (00:00): Hey, it's Jake Bartlett for school of motion.
