WHAT IS ILLUSTRATOR?
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Adobe Illustrator Layers!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor and design program developed and marketed by Adobe Inc.
What you will learn: Create and edit layers
The Layers panel is usually located on the right side of the work area. If it’s not visible, choose Window > Layers to open it.
Each new document starts with a single layer named Layer 1.
To rename a layer, double-click the layer name in the Layers panel, change the name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (macOS).
To create a new layer, click the Create New Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel.
To select a layer, click the layer in the Layers panel.
Drag a layer up or down in the Layers panel to change the order of layered objects in the document.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You move and adjust layers in a new document!

Learning to use Layers makes managing your content faster and easier!
Create a new layer, add artwork to that layer, and change some properties for the layer...
Working with layers in the layers panel is useful in a lot of ways including for example when you have different elements in an icon or a logo that you need to work on individually without affecting the other elements.
For this poster, you'll create a background shape and then create a layer to more easily select the content later.
