How do I make something landscape in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:31 pm

There are a few ways to make a landscape in Illustrator. One way is to use the Rectangular Marquee tool and draw a Rectangular selection around the area you want to make a landscape in. Then use the Transform tool to stretch the selection out so that it is the same width and height as your document window. You can then use the Free Transform tool to rotate and resize the selection.

PRO TIP: If you are working in Adobe Illustrator, there is a chance you may inadvertently change your document from portrait to landscape. To avoid this, make sure that the ‘Orientation’ drop-down menu in the ‘New Document’ dialogue box is set to ‘Portrait’.

Another way to make a landscape in Illustrator is to use the Pathfinder tool and draw a path around the area you want to make a landscape in. Then use the Transform tool to stretch, rotate and resize the path. You can also use the Distort tool to make the path more curved or distorted.
