  Useful Adobe Illustrator asset templates.





  Various practical, handy, and opinionated Adobe Illustrator templates


  for logos, icons, banners, and general vector assets.



---

## ✔️ General Specs

- Sensible *(and opinionated)* templates with visually helpful **padded guides**

- Practical **usage recommendations** based on **100+ real-world projects**

- **Adobe Illustrator 2020** compatibility

- **Public Domain / No Copyright / No Rights Reserved** license [*(CC0-1.0 Universal)*](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0)

## 📁 Templates

Over the years, ***I've often had to create various Adobe Illustrator 

templates***, from simple personal projects to large-scale cross-team 

collaborations.

As I frequently ***found myself creating the same or very 

similar templates time and time again repeatedly***, I eventually formulated 

basic, yet practical asset templates. This led me to open source and publish 

***these basic boilerplate templates*** for creating vector assets.

---

### 🎨 General Template

This template is **recommended for general vector assets** 

*(icons, logos, square/rectangular assets, etc.)*.

- size: **512x512** effective padded size *(704x704 overall artboard size)*

- file: [./templates/general-template.ai](https://github.com/richrdkng/adobe-illustrator-templates/blob/main/templates/general-template.ai)

- screenshot: [./media/screenshots/general-template.jpg](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/richrdkng/adobe-illustrator-templates/main/media/screenshots/general-template.jpg)



  

 

### 📁 GitHub-specific Templates

These templates are **recommended for creating GitHub-specific vector assets** 

*(profile pictures, assets in markdown documents, etc.)*.

---

### 🎨 GitHub Profile Picture

This template is ***recommended for creating GitHub profile pictures assets***

for personal and organization accounts.

This template has **2 guides** *(outer, and inner)*, and it is

***designed to offer 3 choices to the creator whether to fill out*** the 

profile picture frames on GitHub ***fully or partially***:

- size **512x512** - overall artboard size:

  - ***fills out the profile picture frame completely***

  - recommended for assets designed to fill/reach the entirety

    of the profile picture frame

- size ***450x450*** - using the outer guides:

  - will leave a ***tiny, barely visible padding*** in the profile picture frame

  - ***recommended in general for assets*** intended to be used as a 

    profile picture, as this will have a really small,

    yet visually pleasing, distinguishing padding around the asset

- size ***400x400*** - using the inner guides:

  - will leave a ***small, yet visible padding*** in the profile picture frame

  - recommended for assets ***in case the 450x450 outer guide doesn't suite the

    creator's intentions***, as this will result a small margin-like visible

    padding around the asset

---

- size: **512x512** overall artboard size *(with 2 guides: outer of 450x450, inner of 400x400)*

- file: [./templates/gh-profile-picture.ai](https://github.com/richrdkng/adobe-illustrator-templates/blob/main/templates/gh-profile-picture.ai)

### 🎨 GitHub Markdown Banner

This template is ***recommended for creating banner assets in GitHub-flavored markdowns***.

The top banner in markdowns is typically an image *(or multiple)* ***representing

the project as a leading graphical asset***.

This template has **2 guides** *(outer, and inner)*:

- size **800x320** - overall artboard size:

  - ***it's not recommended to use the entire artboard for markdown banners

    in most use-cases***, since this will fill the entire possible width of the

    rendered markdowns on GitHub, and it will *"look bad"* in most cases, 

    ***except if it is intended (e.g.: minor outreaching graphics, shapes, lines, etc.)***

- size ***580x180*** - using the outer guides:

  - ***recommended in general for markdown banners*** to be used, as this will

    result a *"good-looking"* padding all-over the banner graphic with a 

    visually pleasing appearance as using this outer guide

    ***generally fits well in GitHub's rendered markdown content***

  - looks presentable and readable ***on mobile devices too***

- size ***550x170*** - using the inner guides:  

  - recommended for assets ***in case the 580x180 outer guide doesn't fully

    suite the creator's intentions***, as this is *not significantly much* 

    smaller, than using the 580x180 outer guide, but still offers guidance

    for tighter markdown banner designs

- size: **800x320** overall artboard size *(with 2 guides: outer of 580x180, inner of 550x170)*
