I was able to arrange the tools and learn how to expand the windows to see them better After I would click Window>Workspace>Reset Essentials after anything I arranged Screen Shot 2013-10-15 at 1.06.00 PMScreen Shot 2013-10-15 at 1.06.39 PM Afterwards I started to learn about viewing the image in different ways: inked, pixel preview and the outline of the logo/drawing
