Saving down an Illustrator file is one of my most common habits as a designer. Whether I’m making templates or creating a logo for a client, I always save my Illustrator files down to at least CS3, so anyone who has older software will still be able to open and edit the files I provide. Much like InDesign, if you save a file in a recent version, like CS6, someone working in CS4 wouldn’t be able to open that file. In this quick tip tutorial, I show how easy it is to save an Illustrator file down to an older version of Illustrator.

Last week’s tutorial was how to make a custom concert ticket in Adobe Illustrator. In today’s video tutorial, I’ll show you how to take that same Illustrator file and make it a Photoshop file. If you’re more comfortable working in Illustrator, or ever have a client asking for a psd when you only have an ai, this a great method to use, and you don’t have to remake a single thing!

This week’s tutorial is my first ever video tutorial! It’s a two parter that shows you how to create a retro concert ticket from scratch in Illustrator, with the final file being 100% print ready. I show you how to set up your document, layer your file properly, apply bleed, use the blend tool, what expanding an object means, and finally, placing a rasterized texture for the final retro feel.
