Welcome to our Illustrator in 60 Seconds series, in which you can learn an Illustrator skill, feature, or technique in just a minute!
The Appearance Panel
Keeping track of your artwork's appearance can sometimes prove to be a tedious task, especially if you have a lot of visual effects.
Luckily for us, Illustrator comes with a central hub from where we can easily edit and adjust all of these effects on the fly.
If you've never used the feature before, I strongly advise you give this little video a go since it will show you all the basics that you need to be aware of in order to start using the Appearance panel.
