I wish I could say I’m an expert Adobe Illustrator user, but unfortunately, I’m not, but I’m learning. One of the way’s I’m learning is by asking questions to people who are experts (or what they call “Ninja’s”, “Guru’s” and “Rockstars” nowadays).

Jay Hilgert from Bittbox.com is one of those guys, expert in the field.
He had an “Ask Bittbox” question round on Illustrator and Photoshop on Twitter, so I sent in my question, and it got posted on Bittbox.com

2) deluzione asks:

How do I convert and illy doc from 72dpi to 300?

Answer:

Good question. This is one of those settings that you would think you should be able to find under “Document Setup,” since it’s a setting you choose every time you create a “new” document. However, our friends at Adobe thought it should be in a different place. You’ll find the “Document Raster Effects Settings” under the “Effects” menu.

Just change your setting to 300dpi, and click OK.

Thanks again, Jay!

Another tutorial. This time with audio!

This video will show you how to make a square with 2 rounded egdes corners in Illustrator. (Somebody had to rain on my parade, and tell me it’s not “rounded egdes”, but “rounded corners”. Oh well, I think you know what I meant )

Notes: Topic I’m talking about in the video on The Web Squeeze.
