=== Stupid AI Tricks ===
Things you might need to make Illustrator work better, and which I could not easily find.
 * Perspective-like distorting involves using modifier keys at specific times:
 1. Select whole shape, groups work fine.
 1. E (free transform)
 1. Start dragging a “downrange” corner
 1. Click Cmd to convert that corner only
 1. Click Cmd+Shift+Opt to move it and the corresponding pont with axial symmetry.
 1. Be sure to shorten also. I'd distort a square as your guide before doing any actual work, and keep both a distorted and original shape as your guide.

Documentation Templates

Lots of documentation styles will work. Use your favorite one, or...

Little Springs has a mobile-specific documentation style, but it is still project (client) specific as yet. When we get a chance we'll sanitize it, write it up and share it here.

Drawing Tool Tips & Tricks

Just a list that we keep for ourselves, so we don't forget things. Feel free to add items, or even categories, if there's a tool you want to share your notes about.
