The language of objects

First day of class! Just learned to play with some ready-provided objects--move them around, resize, duplicate, manipulate, change colours, etc. Lots of grouping and ungrouping, centering, working with and without snap-to grids, etc. Pretty straightforward. 

Probably the key thing here was learning to understand each individual part as an "object" and work accordingly, as well as to remember that all these objects exist on their own layers.

Objects are, of course, not mine. They all come from Classroom in a Book, the official training workbook from Adobe Systems. Lesson 2.
