It's going to have a lot of things in here you don't need to touch, okay? There is something called an export type. And it's going to ask you, it's going to say, all right, well, what do you want to call this? Let's just call it, pack. If you click on that, any selected artwork will be saved within the symbols panel. Down at the bottom, you're going to see new symbol. And to make or save this as a symbol, so we can reuse it, we can just come over to the symbols panel. Make sure that your backpack is selected. Now you can use your own, or create your own, which is what we're about to do, okay? So, I know, once again probably exploring the libraries. So there's a ton of different libraries built in here that you can use. You can actually take these little pieces of artwork, drag them out and you can use them in your designs. Like primitive, all these kinds of things. So if I go in here, if you take look, like one of my favorites is, there's like retro, there's all kinds of stuff in here. It looks like a stack of books way down there, there are a ton of symbols or pre-done artwork built in here that you can just drag out and see how it was built. If you look down in the lower left down here and click on this little library button. If you decide never to use these in your artwork, you can use symbols to learn how illustrator, how people build things.
Now I've already got one saved just in case. This symbols panel is where we can go to save these. It looks like a little three leaf clover, or whatever, right there. Now look on the right over here and you're going to see the symbols panel. T want to shift, click on the zipper or drag it across that one too. That's what of the best parts about symbols, okay? Select the backpack, I want to select also the little blend thing we've got in the middle, so go ahead and drag across select, if you don't mind. We can drag out copies of the symbol and if we edit the original symbol, all of those copies will update it automatically. A symbol is saved in the document and it's basically a master backpack, in this case. Instead of me taking this backpack object, and just copying it three, five, 10 times down there, we can actually take that backpack and save it as what's called a symbol. And what I want to do is I want to take that backpack and I want to show it in three different colors, or five different colors, or something like that. If we're working on our projects, and suppose that I'm working on an ad here. Symbols are, they're a lifesaver, and a time saver and a space saver, when you work with illustrator. We're going to take a little look at symbols.
