Introduction to Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator is a Vector Software, which enables us to develop Print Document, Web Document, Mobile and Device Document, Video and Film Document, Basic RGB – CMYK Document.

Once you start the AI go on New the AI software will ask you the type of Document you want to create Select from the menu as displayed in the Image Below.

You can choose from the following profiles:

Print Document

Uses a default letter size artboard, and provides a variety of other preset print sizes to choose from. Use this profile if you plan to send this file to a service bureau for output to a high‑end printer.

Web Document 

Provides preset options optimized for output to the web.

Mobile And Devices Document

Creates a small file size that is preset for a specific mobile device. You can choose your device from the Size menu.

Video And Film Document

Provides several preset video- and film-specific crop area sizes (note that the Artboard option changes to Crop Size for this profile). Illustrator creates only square pixel files, so to ensure that the sizes are interpreted correctly in video applications, Illustrator adjusts the Width and Height values. For example, if you choose NTSC DV Standard, Illustrator uses a pixel size of 648 x 480, which translates to 740 x 480 pixels in video-based applications.

Basic CMYK Document

Uses a default letter size art board, and provides a variety of other sizes to choose from. Use this profile if you plan to send a document to multiple types of media. If one of the media types is a service bureau, you’ll want to manually increase the Raster Effects setting to High.

Basic RGB Document

Uses a default 800 x 600 size art board, and provides a variety of other print-, video-, and web-specific sizes to choose from. Do not use this option if you plan to send a document to a service bureau or output to a high-end printer. Use this profile for documents that will be output to mid-level printers, to the web, or multiple types of media.
