Question
I illustrated something and when I tried to put it on something it came out too
small. How would I enlarge the whole illustration without losing quality in
Illustrator CS4? Thanks :)

Answer
Hi Leland,

First select everything in your illustration (Select>Select All). Then go to the Scale Tool in your toolbar and enlarge by pulling a corner while holding the shift key. Illustrator is a vector-based program, which means if you created it in Illustrator, it will not lose quality when you enlarge.

You could also choose to print it out larger if you wanted to.

Thanks

Kevin
