2.02 Creating Vector
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Artboard | The area of the illustration that contains the printable part of your work |
| Objects | Any shape, image, or text that can be moved, scaled, or edited |
| Lines | An open ended, path with two anchor points, which included straight, braziers, and spirals |
| Anchor points | Basic components of the paths, which appear at the start and end of every path or where it changes direction |
| Line segment | Part of a line that has and anchor point on each end |
| Path | Made up of one or more line segments, connected by two or more anchor points or nodes |
| Open path | One or more paths for which the start point and end point are not the same, for example a straight or curved line |
| Closed path | A continuous path that has no beginning or end, for example a circle or rectangle |
| Shapes | Geometric based tools that allow you to create primitive shapes, such as rectangles, ellipses, and polygons |
| Transformations | Scaling, rotation, shearing (skewing), and reflecting (flipping), objects to change their appearance. |
| Smart guides | Guides that appear as you move around a document indicating various points of alignment with existing objects |
| Stacking order | The order of how objects are arranged on the artboard, in front of or behind each other. By default new objects are created at the front of the stacking order |
| Selection tool | Selects and object or group of objects |
| Direct selection tool | Selects individual anchor points or paths in order to edit individual pieces of an object |
| Stroke | The visible outline of a shape or path, such as the color, weight, or style, which is not the same as a path can have no stroke as an option |
| Fill | To put a color, or pattern into an object |
| Swatches | Named colors tints gradients and patterns |
| Gradients | Filling an object with a smooth transition from one color to another |
| Patterns | A repeated (tiled) decorative design |
| Drawing | Using shapes or other tools such as the pen or pencil to simulate the experience of drawing on paper |
| Pen tool | It uses anchor points and paths to allow you to create straight lines, Bezier lines (curved), and shapes in a countless amount of combinations. Considered one of the most powerful tools in graphic design |
| Bezier | A curved segment of a path which uses handles to control the shape of the curve |
| Image trace | A tool in a vector program will take a raster image or scanned drawing and automatically convert it to paths, based on selected settings |
| Pathfinder | A tool that contains four shape options and six pathfinder options that allow you to combine multiple objects in a variety to way create complex shapes |
| Vector effects | Commands that can be applied to an object, group, or layer to change its characteristics, such as distort and transform, wrap, and stylize |
| Point type | A line of text that begins at the point that you click, which expands as you type. The type will not automatically wrap to the next line, you must use enter |
| Area type | Uses that boundaries of an area created by dragging a marquee with the type tool to control the flow of text. When text gets to the end of the boundary, it automatically wraps to the next line |
| Type on path | Allows you to attach text to an open or closed path |
| Text wrap | Controls how area text flows over or around objects and image |
