You, my friend, can go up to view and they snuck this little option in here. It's called trim view. Boop. It just tidies everything up. Look at me. I use it so often I've made mine a shortcut. I just hit tab on off designer. I want to be designer I actually am. Let me know in the comments which you are. Let's get even tidier and try and trick people into thinking you know what you're doing. In my swatches panel here, we've got all of the swatches. My favorite default swatch is this one. Who decided that was going to be a good swatch? Let's clean it up. Let's go to swatches. Let's go to select all unused. And let's just go bin. Yes, delete them. Oh my goodness. Look at us.

We're pros. They're all in there. And a last little bonus, check this out. If I select all of these, I can grab this first one. Hold shift, grab the last one. Check this out. Let's go to the flyyou menu. They snuck this little update in. Where is it? Create swatch info. You're like, what's it going to do? I'm just going to click create. Look at that. All of our swatches. First time I saw it though, I was like, need some style. But don't worry, you can click on them. Okay. And over here, look, Illustrator's given us some swatch info. I can say I want two rows. I want three rows. I can play with the spacing. I can go through and decide I don't need the HSV. Don't need the color name, don't need the ink type. You can also go to command T for the type tool. And you can go through and pick your brand font. Oh, it's already looking better.
