Adobe Illustrator CS5 One-on-One

•

Locate and double-click the Lesson Files-AIcs5 1on1 folder.

• Lastly, double-click the Lesson 01 folder.

3. Select a fi le. Click the fi le called Radio station.ai to select it.

This is the fi rst of the documents pictured in Figure 1-3, pro-

If you’re using a Windows-based PC and you don’t see the document

you want, you probably need to change the setting in the Files of Type

pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box. Although this menu is

4. Open the artwork. Click the Open button or press the Enter

or Return key to open the document in Illustrator. If the docu-

your own color settings—something other than what I asked

you to do in the Preface (see Step 8, page xvii)—Illustrator may

greet you with a Profi le or Policy Mismatch message; just click

OK or Continue to make it go away.

I’ll be asking you to open and modify many fi les during the course

of this book. Explore these fi les if you want,
