We will start with a new document and because we are creating a monogram. At this point the page size is not important. We are creating vector file so it can be resized at any time to the desired size. From the New Document dialog box (File > New), set the preset destination to Default RGB. We can leave the rendering intent at 300 and click OK.

The choice of font is probably the most critical aspect of creating a monogram. It is the font choice that will give the look and feel. There are many styles to choose from, such as Traditional, Modern, Retro, Whimsical or Curly, to name just a few. There are also monograms with frames or borders.

Use the Text tool to type three Artistic text characters. From the Object > Break Artistic Text: MichelleFLF (Medium( ENC) Apart MichelleFLF (Medium( ENC) is the font that I used for this monogram. Now that the letters have been broken apart, you are able to move them to where they form the monogram
