Question 01-
How do you fill a shape and a stroke with different colors?
In Adobe Illustrator, there are a few ways to fill a shape and stroke with different colors. One of the methods is to go to the bottom of the toolbar on the left hand side, and locate the two squares. One is white and the other is hollow and black, typically accompanied by a small toggle arrow in the top right corner. The white box is used to change the fill color, and the black hollow square is used to change the stroke color. The toggle arrow can be used to swap the fill and stroke color. Another way to change the stroke and fill color is to go to the top left hand side. There will be two small boxes with drop down options to pick a color, and an option to change the stroke size (measured in points) right next to the color options. The final method of changing a fill and stroke color is by going to the “Window” tab at the top and selecting “Swatches”. This will open a separate window that has options to change the fill and stroke color. You can also go to “Window” and select “Stroke” which will open a separate window that allows further changes to the stroke size.

How do you fill a shape and a stroke with different colors?
First you must open the Adobe Illustrator app and create a new document. Select any shape tool to create your desired shape. Use the Selection Tool, or on other words the black arrow, to select the shape you want to change. Under all the tools there should be two squares, one white square and the other a black bordered square. The white square is represented as the fill and the black bordered square is labeled as the stroke. If you select the Fill, the white square should be in front of the bordered black square. Double click the fill square in order to change the inside color of the shape. You can choose any color along the rainbow, but if you want colors that are already prepared, click on color swatches. If you select the Stroke, the black bordered square should be in front of the white square. Double click the stroke square in order to change the outline color of the shape. There is also another way you can change both the fill and the stroke. Select the arrows pointing down next to the white square and the black bordered square at the top of the application. The only color options with this method are the color swatches. While changing the colors of the fill and stroke, make sure to check if the shape was selected with the selection tool. If you look at the top of your screen and select Windows, you can scroll down and select swatches to change the fill and stroke as well. A mini white square and black bordered square should show with the color swatches.

Once you reached the tool bar, you want to look at the bottom of it and you will find a white square filled in. This is the “fill” you will want to double click on it and a window giving you options to change that selected square color. Once you found the color that you are satisfied with you then click the “ok” button. Then similar to the fill, right next to it should be a square that has has black as an outline. This is the “stroke” and you want to double click that. Once the tab is open with all the different options for color, find the color that you feel best fits. After you have done that click “Ok” to confirm your selection. And that it.
2. In creating a dashed line you are going to want to start off by going to the tool bar that is located on the far left side of the program. Once you are there, select the “Pen Tool”, once you have that selected find the starting location of where you want to create the dashed line. Once you have found the perfect position click one time to create the starting point of a line and then click where you want the end of that first small portion of that dash line to end. Once you have done that go to the selection tool and click off of the line. Once you have done that re select the line you just made. While the line is still selected, hold “Ctrl and Alt”. Once you have done that then left click and hold, you will be able to drag that duplicated line to either the left side or right side of your original line. Repeat that process until you have created the proper length of your dashed line.

How do you fill a shape and a stroke with different colors?
There are different ways in Adobe Illustrator to change the shape and stroke colors. One way is to go to the bottom of the toolbar on the left side, in there you can see two squares that show the stroke and fill. After locating this all you have to do to change the fill is to click and select the square that is full in order to change the fill in. The color selection tool pops open in which you can choose a color and that becomes your new filling. To change the stroke color you follow the same process as before but instead of selecting the box that is hollow, this is the stroke. After you have selected the colors you could use the toggle arrow that will swap the fill and stroke color. The second way of changing the color of the stroke or fill is in case there is a specific color that you want. If there is another shape or a picture and you like a color and want to use it, you have to do similar to before and select the shape you want and the fill-in square or stroke. After you have to select the eye drop tool and put it in the color that you want to put in the fill or stroke. A third way to change the stroke and fill color is to go to the top left-hand side. There will be two small boxes with drop-down options to pick a color, and an option to change the stroke size which is right next to the color options.
