High there in this video we are going to sit the defaults for the swatches and Adobe Illustrator will
also set the default font.
Get rid of miriad 12. K will change everything we need to will even turn off that pisky hyphenation.
All right let's go and do that now in Illustrator.
All right.
First up a can be a pain.
I'm using illustrator It's called illustrator 22 right.
And illustrator about this is version 22.
Gates also called CC 2019.
Should we pay everything for this version and up earlier versions you might.
It gets really tricky so.
And if it doesn't work for you you might have to go in search the net.
And that gets complicated for us though it's partially complicated not that.
So what we're going to do is we're going to add this welcome screen we're going to go to create and
you document and basically what we need to do is we can just do it for the whole program we need to
do it full print for web and for mobile.
So basically for me I do most of my stuff in print and web.
OK so you just need to change these two defaults so it will do print.
So inprint what we need to do is go to this more seatings option down the bottom here.
And once that opens we need to go to her as his profile drop that down.
We want to go to the one that is Brough's really what we're just doing here is locating where these
things are kept.
OK because on a PC and Mac they're different.
So if I drop this down tells me this is where the profiles are kept.
So we need to dig this out.
That's the habit.
Ok adjusting the phones and switches is easy.
OK so you can get lost.
There's a couple of versions of library.
So there's a library done at this level so you need to really make sure.
So maybe take a screenshot of this now or for your if you using a PC take a screenshot of your screen
and just noticed you've got to go.
He he he he.
All the way through to this code so I'll show you how to get them.
Case going to close that down.
That's basically what we use that for.
And I'm going to go into find to here and show you how to find it.
So go to any folder OK documents this top doesn't matter.
And if you hold down the command key and click on this and you have this is at the top of kind of tells
you we are on the world so partially way they are right we're in HD we're in users we're in my name
and we're in documents but I want to go to this one here.
And this should be a fold in here called Library.
OK.
Problem is is that it.
Like to hide that from you.
You going to go and change permissions and stuff and you don't want to do that.
The sneaky trick is I'm in Finder.
OK got to go.
Hold down the option key.
I'm on a Mac.
You can see if I just toggle on and off.
OK.
He just appears.
OK.
So that sneaky trick to get him.
So I'm in the right place now.
OK I'm in library.
Now we're going to follow the rest of that application support Adobe and work division 22.
You might be in a later version.
OK would that version uses the highest numbers is going to be the one I'm using English us and we're
trying to find and we're going to do this one and this one.
Basically we're going to change these and resave them.
You can go off and do that now.
But together I'll show you the long way.
You can see there are all kinds of profiles going open up print
and in here what I'd like to do is anything you change in here while most of the things you change in
here will now be your default.
Ok if you want your default file fill color and store color to be different.
You could say actually I want that from now on whenever I'm making you document.
And the big one you came for is font OK.
Click once and miriad pro.
OK I'm going to change it to something else.
You can change it to anything.
If you've been following along and of course I love the old Musea can you use that.
And personally when I'm working I use ten point a lot more.
Now I want to go and change a lot of other things.
But as a train I really need to keep everything by default.
I'm just going to save myself some time now by not changing too much.
So you're only halfway there right.
So you've changed the fonts and go to window go to type and go to character styles.
And basically this is the kind of default character stuff whenever you type anything new and you can
see these Galo Plus they say you've adjusted it OK and all you need to do is go to this big I mean you
redefine character style.
That plus goes away.
And if I save this document now and let's do it.
OK delete that guy save it close that file you.
You really can print any of these OK.
Covers anything under print.
So I'm going to use this create grab my type to click once.
Ha.
Media ain't standpoint.
Hey you and a couple things although things we want to change I am going to close that down other little
shortcut while I'm here in case you get this window here if you hold down on a Mac this is Mekere the
Unfortunately PC people in the command key and click the first letter of S C or D.
It's the shortcut ID for that to save.
I don't know why I like this.
And I've got print there.
You can go to File Open recent same one.
OK.
And I'm going to change a few of the things.
Hyphenation.
Goodbye buddy.
Do I get a box at hyphenates by default case or I'm going to go to my paragraph window so under window
type we're going to open up a paragraph and I'm going to say hyphenate.
Don't do it by default.
Weirdly the box that I drew is like the first box ever.
That doesn't hyphenate.
Change it.
There's hyphenation.
Turn off.
And what we need to do now is just very similar the paragraph styles.
So there's a normal paragraph style I say redefine style and that will be off by default.
I'm not doing mine now just because I know it works.
You know you've seen it work for character styles but because I'm a trainer I have to kind of keep everything
within the same as yours and other things you can do here is you can do your swatches in this window.
OK so in him and a.
That's what I'll do is I'll leave hyphenation on and let's go to our swatches pencils a window it's
going to swatches and you might have been everything kind of have black white and maybe a few colors
maybe some brand colors that you are using.
OK.
You can import colors from logos here.
All you need to really do is make sure that your swatches panel is how you want to.
Let's say that you don't use this fantastic fill.
OK.
Patten's watch.
You can go into here.
I'm going to delete it forever.
OK.
I'm going to make a new swatch.
First of all I'm going to pick a color.
And then I added as swatch.
Give it a name.
I'm going to move to mine off not being global and not in my library just because I just wanted to be
a BASIX watch now if I say the stock in clothes it is good.
And you document window anything to print and to create a form even if you see there's Micheal's which
is OK.
That one's gone.
And that was they know and it doesn't backdate.
OK so it doesn't go back to old documents and adjust the swatches.
That's a really personal thing and illustrate where the swatches are attached to the file kind of embedded
in them.
But anything new that can be changed.
That's true of type as well so any new documents will be Muzio but any previous document that kind of
character style was stuck in there.
So yeah all documents do but new documents.
All right friends that is how to reset your default font and swatches in Adobe Illustrator.
All right.
Let's get on to the next video.
