today I've got five common problems when using a adobe illustrator now you might
have encountered yourself I'm gonna show you these problems as well as their
solutions so stay tuned in today's video on common problems in adobe Illustrator
what is that people welcome back to Satori graphics the home of crafter
their content right here on YouTube so today I've got five common problems by
in my encounter when using a deeper illustrator this video is more geared
towards beginners or intermediate users and I'm sure we've all encountered one
or more of these problems when using a native illustrator I want to reiterate
that today's video is more geared towards beginners within Adobe
Illustrator and these are actually common issues that designers do running
to I know running to a lot of these issues in the start of my career and on
this channel I like to make videos for beginners as well as more advanced users
so if you do actually already know all of these well most of these points today
just understand that not every single upload on my channel is to intermediate
and advanced designers so the first annoying problem that in my encounter
illustrator is that randomly your project might turn the grayscale so for
example you might be working on a shape as part of your graphic design project
and even though you choose a color in the color palettes the design is still
gray I actually don't know why this happens but if somebody does know leave
a comment in the comment section let me know why this happens but it has
actually happened to me quite a few times to rectify this problem you simply
need to open up the color window and then change the color mode to something
else relevant to your design that is not grayscale
another illustrates a problem that you might encounter and do not understand is
the isolation function so when you're working this might happen during your
design workflow if you don't know what it is it can be quite annoying you
simply need to click the top gray bar to remove it but why is this thing it's
actually here so that you can isolate a specific part of your design which can
be very handy indeed so for example if I have the selection of shapes here and
even if they are all selected I can double click on shape by itself it
becomes isolated academic edits to that shape without the issue of selecting
other shapes on the design another pretty annoying and common problem
illustrator is when you're drawing with a pen tool the pen tool might snap to a
point where you don't want to do so if you look carefully here in this
traitor is acting like a magnet and placing the pen to and positions
automatically this is because I have the snap to point option activated in the
Preferences window which you can lower the tolerance of or you can switch it
off altogether also in the older versions of Illustrator there is an
align to pixel grid option and transform window but I'm using the newer version
and so the location of that is actually here in the top row of the program so
have a look at these settings to see what it can do for your design workflow
the next annoying illustrator problem is one that bugged me for a long long time
back in a day when you're designing you're trying to find a certain tool in
the tool bar on the left you might accidentally press the perspective grid
tool if you don't know what this is where you don't know how to remove it it
can be very annoying and sometimes people even save their document close
illustrator and then reven it all you actually need to do is to go up to view
here and then hide the perspective grid like so the last annoying illustrator
problem is one I've covered in an older video and that is the zoom to selection
function so when you press command or control on plus you zoom into your
document you might want to zoom into the center of the screen but if you have the
zoom to selection activated it will zoom to a specific design element on your
project you can turn this off in the Preferences window
so there is today's video on common problems when you sing a debut
