Introduction

In this episode, we'll master managing artboards using the Artboard Tool, so one Illustrator file can contain many designs at once, from posters to Instagram stories. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. An artboard is a page within an Illustrator document. One file can contain hundreds of artboards of different sizes, which is very practical for one design campaign. Open the 'Landscape Card' file.

Step 1: Enter Artboard Tool

Press Shift-O to select the Artboard Tool. The active artboard is now surrounded by a dashed line with handles, and its name appears in the top-left corner.

Step 2: Create a New Artboard

Draw a line in the empty gray area to the right of the artboard. A new artboard is formed, the same size as the box we drew, with width and height labels. The new artboard is automatically named 'Artboard 2'.

Step 3: Change Artboard Size

Draw on the bottom-right corner handle of the new artboard to change its size. For precise sizing, type the width and height values. We'll create the story size, 1080x1920 pixels.

Step 4: Duplicate Artboard with Contents

Hold Alt and drag the first artboard downward. Illustrator creates a copy of the artboard complete with all objects inside it. This technique is fast for creating design variations.

Step 5: Fill Artboard Story

Return to the Selection Tool using the V key. Select all the card objects, copy with Ctrl+C, click on the 'Story Artboard', then paste. Adjust the size to fit the artboard height.

Step 6: View All Artboards

Press Ctrl+Alt+0 to view all artboards at once. Now, one file contains three design versions. Save the file, then export all artboards as separate PNGs. Done.

Done!

We've used the Artboard Tool to create, resize, and duplicate artboards along with their contents. Then fill the artboard story. In the next episode, we will set the name and order of artboards using the Artboard panel. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographic, or print and social media materials?
