    You can choose many different presets to start your files, and you can even choose what size you want by typing it in manually. When using a text box you can use the selection tool to be able to highlight selections, and that will also allow you to be able to change the font, color of text, etc... Some of the tools that I feel will be harder to use are the input and output of color management and profiling. But also, the full color of sign making. Also, the appearance panel can be a little difficult to understand, but practicing can help you get more familiar with it.

    The process of using Illustrator isn't super hard its more time consuming than anything else. Fill is the inside of a shape, and a stroke is the color of the line being drawn. You should remember that when using shapes to use the box with the red line for no fill in the shape. You can only select the center of a shape if you have a fill color. You can round edges of a shape with the corner buttons. If you click the shape and want to resize it, you can hold the shift key and it will lock the height and width when sizing it.

    The pen tool can be very touchy so be careful with it. Fixing the curves on lines can be very hard to do if not paying attention. Using the width tool you can make the ends of the lines get thinner or thicker as needed. You can also delete strokes you don't want using the opt or ctrl key, and the round caps too. Using many layers can make it easier to keep things organized and not ruin what you have already done. Putting them in different layers allows you to be able to lock things and then hiding layers so you can focus on the parts you're currently working on before having the final product.
