Creating a Grid in Adobe Illustrator CS3

by   |  Posted in Tutorials  |  7 comments

Whenever I start a project, I like to work with a grid layout to help me place all the elements I need into proper alignment. Most sites work around a grid. You have a header, main sections, maybe a sidebar and usually a footer. Within each of these elements you can break it down even further.

Here is a quick tutorial on building a grid in Illustrator CS3 (I haven’t upgraded just yet).

    Building a grid in CS4 is no different. The same process will give you the same results.
