Strategically Designing a 2D Game Level in Illustrator

This Illustrator tutorial will show you how to set up an art board and symbols system so you can concentrate on the art, not the constraints. It is difficult to create game-level art. This is because it requires a strategy that allows you to make great art without worrying about the technical aspects of cutting, working within size limitations, adapting to changes, etc. Illustrator is a fantastic tool to establish a system before you begin making art. It will allow you to make large changes to a level without getting bogged down trying to make it fit into the game. Software required: Illustrator CC 2014.
