Review Week 6

What is the pen tool used for?
the pen tool allows someone to trace of freely draw objects with anchors and paths and adjust the curve.


How can you manipulate a path/line in Illustrator? Discuss the use of the white arrow tool, pen+, pen-, and convert too.
The pen + or - adds or removes anchors or the starting point in a curve. The white arrow tool helps move the paths in a different direction or put the anchor in a new place to get the desired curve.


How can you utilize the layers palette in Illustrator?
Layers help the designer work with small pieces of a work at a time. He or she can make it visible or invisible so that they can try new things on a new layer, check to see if it is attractive or not or use different settings to make the layers of textures, brushes, or anything else have different effects on an image.


How do you create a clipping mask in Adobe Illustrator?
Make a colorless, fill-less shape around the area that is supposed to be colored with the image, and put it in the top layer. Select the shape that is supposed to be filled, click options >> clipping mask >> make.
