    I was looking for how to create the object style that would help to anchor the object - exactly what this video wouldn't cover. I already have the paid subscription to CreativePro. Everything is an advertisement and tease to get you to buy even more, especially with this CreativePro week.

    • @CreativePro
      @CreativePro 4 дні тому

      Creating object styles isn't the focus of this video. You have to manually anchor an object to another, you can't build it as part of the object style. Once an item is anchored, you can set the anchored options as part of the object style. There should be plenty of free articles on CreativePro.com about object styles (and other YT videos here). Also, if you have specific questions, we have a Facebook group with 30K+ very helpful members. Far from being an advertisement for CP Week, we end up sharing a large portion of the content from the event for free here on UA-cam. This video was a sneak peek with information that you can use, whether you attend the conference or not. -EG

    I am adjusting the padding around my image, but it is not applying it to it?

    • @CreativePro
      @CreativePro 4 дні тому

      If the text isn't responding to the wrap, make sure the text frame doesn't have "Ignore Text Wrap" checked. If you mean that the amount of wrap isn't changing, make sure the image doesn't just have a white background (it needs to know where the subject/background border is). If it's a white background, you can apply a clipping path first, then use text wrap on the object. -EG

Also, Freeform Gradient can not be saved as a swatch in any capacity. Lot of work for the Illustrator team.

    Why doesn't Adobe make these the default settings? Or, better yet, why is the container for text so obnoxiously big with the "dead" space under the type. They should just make the text frame hug the type like when you fit to text in InDesign. Does anyone EVER want to use that obtuse text frame for aligning to anything?

    How do you keep the margins correct, when turning off facing pages, when designing a book? To retain the inside margin. Like when designing a book with facing pages, then turning it off to place the bleeds correctly. I've done this before, but I can't remember how it was done anymore...
