Inspired by a recent festive sunday magazine article that hand held, (where appropriate obviously), the reader on the often hazardous assault course that is Christmas dinner preparation in the most patronising way possible. “Avoid cross-contamination and practice good kitchen hygiene. Always use individual chopping boards, colour coded ones are a practical solution in keeping different food stuffs separated! Wash your hands (you will have two initially) before preparing and touching food. Exercise caution when using sharp knives, but you’ll probably be ok with really blunt ones. See that boiling pan on the hob, it might be hot! “Perhaps more advisable to visit to a restaurant for Xmas this year! Print out and colour in the illustration above. To make it easier we’ve made a start for you.

Illustrator – Convert to Grayscale

This is a handy hint if you want to see quickly how your artwork converts to grayscale, a pretty useful tool if colour issues are starting to detract from the image overall. (I use it a lot!)
Simply Select All, then go to the Filter menu and select Colours then Convert to Grayscale. Worth noting is that any patterns or gradients within the image will retain their colour values but like in the image above, you can use this to your advantage.
