Adobe Illustrator CC For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Many of the most dramatic changes in how Illustrator is being used are taking place in the realm of translating vector images to the web, and the underrated SVG format is the key link in that process. SVG files maintain the treasured scalability features of vector artwork and are supported nearly universally in websites and web development environments. When you prepare vector artwork for the web, it’s important to avoid Illustrator’s standard effects and, instead, use SVG filters. Illustrator comes with a decent (but minimalist) set of SVG filters, but here are some tips on how to find and add SVG filters as well as resources for creating your own SVG filters. For those who work with web and app developers, make their lives easier and more productive by checking out the cheat sheet for handing off SVG code.
