Introduction

In this episode, we'll learn how to create a new document with the correct settings from the start, for social media, print, or mobile screens. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. We're entering the artboard and document module. Proper document settings from the beginning prevent problems later, such as color misregistration or incorrect size.

Step 1: New Document Window

Press Ctrl N. The new document window opens with categories at the top, recent, saved, mobile, web, print, film and video, and art and illustration. Each category contains ready-to-use preset sizes.

Step 2: Web Preset

Select the web category and click the preset Instagram post, 1080x1000px. In the preset details, you can see the pixel unit, color mode RGB, and raster effect screen 72ppi, suitable for screens. For print design, select the print category and the preset A4.

Step 3: Print Preset

The unit is mm, color mode CMYK, and raster effect high 300ppi. Bleed is 3mm, which is the area beyond the edge that will be trimmed later to avoid white lines in the final print.

Step 4: Orientation and Number of Artboards

Orientation determines the vertical or horizontal position. The artboard fill determines the number of pages. For example, a brochure that flips needs 2 artboards. Change the number to 2 and click create.

Step 5: Custom Size for Mobile

Create a new document again, select the mobile category. We can also type in our own size, for example, 360x800px for an Android screen. Give the document a name and click create. Document settings can be changed later via File, Document Setup, for example units and bleed.

Step 6: Checking Document Setup

Color mode can be changed via File, Document Color Mode. Now, three documents are open as separate tabs.

Done!

Done. We've created documents from the web, print, and mobile presets, understood units, color mode, raster effect, bleed, orientation, and number of artboards, and created a custom size. In the next episode, we will manage artboards using the Artboard tool. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographics, or print materials and social media content?
