This chapter is an overview of Illustrator’s basic shape tools and related panels that you would use to start creating infographic rudimentary shapes.

Once you have created and scanned your logos in a digital format, you will want to start using Illustrator to trace over your drawing. Or maybe you just want to start drawing some basic shapes or edit your Illustration. You will explore some tools that may already be familiar to you and new and updated tools in later chapters. Later in Chapter 9, based on what you have learned here, you will create and review a few project ideas that can be created with basic shapes, custom shapes, and text.
