Create the First Page of a Fairy Tale Story Book, with a Hint of Kitsch

Once upon a time there was a tutorial. A tutorial which told of magical and enchanting ways to create Fairy Tale pages in Adobe Illustrator. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin... Final Image Preview Below is the final image we will be working towards. Step 1: Setting Up The Document Size is arbitrary for this tutorial; it's up to you to decide how large or small you want to work. With your artboard made, place a rectangle of the same dimensions on it and align it centrally. Step 2: Guides Call this first layer "guides" - that's all we'll be placing on it. Paste the copied rectangle in place (Command + F) and offset it's path by -10mm (Effect > Path > Offset Path..). We're now going to split this smaller rectangle into a grid which we can use as a guide. Splitting pages into multiples of three is usually a sound way to build good aesthetics. Step 3: Layers With the benefit of foresight, I can tell you in advance what you'll need for the document and how best to organize things.
