1. Intro to 10 Pattern tips for Adobe Illustrator: Hello and welcome to this Graphic Design
for Lunch Class 10, Pattern Tips for
Adobe Illustrator. My name is Helen Bradley, and I'm a Skillshare
top teacher. I have over 260 courses
here on Skillshare, and over 150,000
student enrollments. In this class, I'll show
you 10 must-know tips for creating and working with
patterns in Adobe Illustrator, including a bonus tip covering a foolproof method for adding a background to any pattern, one of the things
I get asked about most often by my students. By the time you've
completed this course, you will have enhanced
your knowledge of working with patterns in Adobe Illustrator and
you'll have tools and techniques that
you can use every day. Without further ado,
let's get started.
2. Before we begin: Before we begin, there are a few things that
I'm going to assume that you already know about patterns in Adobe Illustrator. One of them is that
you can fill a shape with a pattern by simply
creating a shape, target the fill, and then just click on a pattern
to fill it with. There are a number of patterns that are shaped
with Illustrator. Some of them will appear
in your swatches panel. Additional patterns can
be found by clicking on the swatch libraries menu
option here and go to patterns. When you select patterns, you get access to
patterns such as basic graphics, which
are dots, lines, and textures, some decorative patterns including
vonster patterns, and some decorative legacy
patterns and nature patterns. Let's just go to animal skins. There are a number of
animal skin patterns including a zebra pattern here. I'm assuming that
you know this much about using patterns
in Illustrator. From here, we're ready to
go ahead with our tips.
3. Tip 1 - Scale a pattern using dialogs: Our first step involves
scaling, rotating, and moving a pattern
using the dialogs. I have a rectangle here that's
filled with our pattern. To scale it, I'm going
to choose "Object" and then "Transform"
and go to "Scale". What's important here is that you disable Transform Objects because you don't want to change the size of this rectangle. But you do want to have
Transform Patterns selected because
you want to change the size of the pattern. Make sure that
Preview is turned on. It is the most recent
versions of Illustrator, it wasn't in earlier versions. Now to uniformly
scale a pattern, you can just type
in a value here. I'm going to scale
it to 50 percent. The pattern size is
significantly reduced. You can also use a non-uniform
scaling which allow you to squeeze things up in
one direction or another. I'm going to set
this to 30 percent horizontal and 50
percent vertical. You'll see it's not particularly attractive for this pattern. It may work better
for other patterns. Using the same set of dialogs, you can also rotate a pattern. Choose "Object", "Transform",
and then "Rotate". Same things apply here. Make sure Transform
Objects is disabled, Transform Patterns is enabled, and Preview is enabled so that you can see
what you're doing. I'm going to click here in the angle and just
press the up arrow key. That will increase the angle
by one degree at a time. Shift up arrow does
it by 10 degrees. Then you could also just
type a value in here. When you're done,
just click "Okay", and the pattern will be
angled as requested. I'm just going to undo that. You can also move a
pattern using a dialog, and that's quite handy
when you want to adjust how the pattern
looks inside a shape. Again with the shapes selected, choose Object, "Transform",
and then "Move". Same thing here, disable Transform Objects, enable
Transform Patterns. Make sure Preview is checked. Now sometimes
you'll find that it actually has some
position values in here, so it's best to just
zero these out. Zero at horizontal, vertical, distance, and angle. Now you can just go ahead
and move the pattern. Now I want to move this so that this umbrella comes a bit
more into the document. I'm going to increase
the horizontal value. I can do that by holding
the Shift key as I tap in this horizontal
value dialog, and it's increased by
10 points at a time. Pressing just one
down arrow or up arrow at a time takes at one
point in either direction. You can do the same with
the vertical setting here. When you're done,
just click "Okay".
4. Tip 2 - Scale etc with the Tilde key: In addition to using
the dialogues to scale, rotate, and move a pattern, you can also use the tilde key. You'll find it in the
top left-hand corner of most keyboards. With this shape selected, I'm going to hold
down the tilde key, and now I'm going to
the Selection Tool and just select and
drag this shape. Now the shape isn't
actually moving, although it looks
right now as if it is, but it's in fact the pattern inside the
shape that will move. When I let go of the
left mouse button, you'll see that the shape
goes back to where it was but the pattern is moved in its
position inside that shape. You may find this tool helpful. You may find that the dialogues themselves are a little
bit easier to use. But the toolkit also works with a couple
of other options, and one is this Rotate option. We're going to click
on the Rotate Tool, and again, hold the tilde key, and as I do that, I'm able to rotate the
pattern inside the shape. Now this is probably one use of the tilde key that's a
little bit easier to manipulate so you may
want to use it with that particular option of rotating the pattern
inside the shape. You can also scale a pattern. I'm going here to
the Scale Tool, make sure to select it, hold the tilde key down, and now by just dragging
inside this shape, I can scale a pattern
bigger or smaller. If I add the Shift key, then the pattern is going to be scaled pretty much
in proportion. Again, this can be a
little bit hit or miss, so I just offer it
to you as an option. Just make sure to select
the appropriate tool, the Selection Tool, the Rotate Tool or
the Scale Tool, hold down the tilde key, and then manipulate the
pattern within your shape.
5. Tip 3 - Pick apart a pattern: For our next tip, we're going to pick apart a pattern so we can understand a little bit about
how patterns are created. I have a pattern here that
is shipped with Illustrator. Now, I'm going to just drag and drop it out of the
Swatches panel. I'm also going to resize it because it's pretty
small right now. I'm holding the
Shift key so that it resizes in proportion. If we have a look in
the last palette, we can learn a little
bit about this pattern. If we open up the layer and the group that's
holding the pattern, we can see that the
pattern is made up of various elements. This is quite a complex pattern, which is why I chose
to show it to you. There are a lot of
elements that go to make this particular
pattern swatch. But at the bottom of this
group and at the bottom of every single group
that contains a pattern, you're going to find
what's called a no fill, no stroke rectangle. I'm just going to
change the color of this layer so that we can see it a little
bit more clearly. Let's choose magenta
as our color. Here is the no fill,
no stroke rectangle. You can see it over here,
no fill, no stroke. It always appears at the
very bottom of any pattern that you create and it marks out what is the actual
pattern swatch. Although we've got lots of
elements here in this dialog, lots of elements saved
with this pattern swatch, the bits that are actually
doing the lifting work, the bits that are the
actual pattern pieces are inside this no fill,
no strike rectangle. The existence of this no fill, no stroke rectangle and the
implications of it marking out the area that controls our pattern can be
really important, and we're going to see
that in this class.
6. Tip 4 - Make a pattern from anything: It's possible to turn
pretty much anything into a pattern in
Adobe Illustrator. I'm going to make a
pattern from a star. I'll go over here to
the rectangle tool. Select the Star Tool which
appears underneath it. Click once in the document. I'm going to make sure I
have a five-pointed star and click "OK". Let's fill the
star with a color. I'm going to double-click
on the existing fill, which is white, and
let's go and get a yellow color for our star. I'm going to remove
the stroke from it. Here I have a star shape. I can make that into
a pattern by just dragging and dropping it
into the swatches palette. If you have color groups
in your swatches palette, just make sure that you don't
try and drop the star into those because the color groups
can only contain colors, but the area at the very top of the palette can
contain anything. I'm going to delete my star. I'm going to make a new
shape, in this case, I'll make it a rectangle
and we'll fill it with our pattern by simply
clicking on the pattern. Now you'll see the star
pattern that we just created.
7. Tip 5 - Edit a Pattern: It's possible to edit a pattern. Our star pattern, although
we created it by just dragging and dropping a star
into the swatches panel, can be edited by just double-clicking
on it and it will open automatically inside the
pattern options dialogue that was new in Illustrator CS6, and obviously it's available in all versions of Illustrator CC. Now, we can edit this pattern. One of the things that we
can do with it is to spread these out because these stars
are very close together. We're able to see the
tile right now because I have Show Tile Edge selected, that's a handy setting to have. What I'm going to do is make this pattern tile much larger. I'm going to make sure that this is unlocked, this setting. I'm going to just
change these values. Right now, this is
95 points wide, so I'm going to increase
it by nearly doubling it. I think I'll set
this to about 180. Then I'll set this value to 182. What that does is it
makes the spacing between the stars inside the pattern a lot
more attractive. You could also change the
placement of the star. For example, so we've got a
simple grid here but we could use something like brick by
row and with a half offset, we get this very
attractive pattern. I'll click Done. Now I'll create a
shape and it's filled automatically with the star
pattern that we just created. It's a potentially more
attractive version of the original star pattern just created by editing
the basic pattern. Now I've just wound back that document to our
original star pattern. In addition to double-clicking on the star pattern to edit it, you can also just drag and
drop it into the work area. If we have a look at
the last palette, I'm just going to choose
Window and Layers here, we'll see at the very bottom of this group is going to be a
no fill, no stroke rectangle. It's there at the base
of every single pattern. Now if I hold the
Shift and the Alt key, that would be Shift
option on the Mac, I can scale the size of this, no fill, no stroke rectangle. When I do, I'm going to
enlarge the pattern. It's still going to be
a simple grid pattern, but it's still able to be
edited and used this way. I'm going to drag and drop this pattern into the
swatches dialogue, then I'll delete the original. I'll make a rectangle. Let's fill it with
this second pattern. This was the original and this is the hand edited version, not done using the
pattern options dialogue, but edited by hand, by simply, in this case, adjusting the size
of the no fill, no stroke rectangle that marked out the bounds of the pattern.
8. Tip 6 - Make a pattern by hand from a Symbol: It's possible to
make a pattern in Adobe Illustrator from
anything including symbols. You can also make
a pattern by hand. I'm going to show you how
to do that right now. I'm going to create a rectangle. I'm going to create a
rectangle of a fixed size. I'm going to make mine
500 pixels by 500 pixels. A nice even value. I'm going to remove
the fill from this so right now it
only has a stroke. I'm going to use some
symbols so I'm going to the Symbols palette
and I'll click here on the library drop-down
list and go to Heirloom. I'm going to use a
couple of symbols here. I'm just dragging them
into the document. I'll select over each
of them in turn and use the Shift key
to enlarge them. One of these is going in the
very middle of my documents. I'm just looking for the intersection with the
middle of the document there. This one is going up over the very top corner
of this shape. It's really important
that you look out for that little indicator
that says you've intersected it at the
correct position. I'm going to Alt drag, holding the Shift key to move this over to the next corner. Then I'll select
both the shapes. Click on one "Shift",
click on the other, and Alt drag them
down to the bottom. If I add the Shift
key as I travel down, they're going to be moved in a perfectly vertical direction. Again, I'm looking for
that intersect indicator. I'll let go the
left mouse button. We know that every pattern
has to have a no fill, no stroke rectangle at the
very bottom so we're going to remove the fill and the
stroke from our rectangle. This rectangle is now going to mark out where our pattern is. You can see that
inside the corners are all the four pieces that we need to make up a whole jewel. I'm going to select everything, and drag and drop it
into the swatches panel. If I put it up here at the top, then it becomes a pattern. Now, I'm going to move it
out of the way because I know that this is
not going to work. Let's see why it's not
working and this is a fault of most recent
versions of Illustrator. I'm going to click on
the Rectangle tool. I'm going to drag
out a rectangle, target its fill, and we're going to fill it
with our new pattern. I'm just going to scale
it down so that you can see what the problem is. The problem is that the no fill, no stroke rectangle
that we created sometimes isn't created as a no fill, no stroke rectangle. It looks like it
is, but it isn't. I'm just going to
fix up this problem. Let's go across here and let's highlight our no fill,
no stroke rectangle. You can see here,
no fill, no stroke. The problem is it's not
correct and this has been an issue since I think
about Illustrator CC 2018. To fix it, we're going
to the Appearance panel. You can get to that by choosing Window and then Appearance. You're going to go to
the Flyout menu here. You'll see that we've
got selected here, New Art Has Basic Appearance. What we want to do is
get rid of everything. I'm going to click here
on "Clear Appearance." Now this is a no fill,
no stroke rectangle. Let's go and select our pattern and drag and drop it up
into the swatches panel. Let's go back to our shape
and click on our new pattern. In this case, our new pattern
is working perfectly. We've learned two things here. We've learned that we can
create a pattern from anything, in this case symbols
and in the process, the symbols are actually disconnected from
the symbols library. They're just Illustrator
vector shapes. But also that there's a problem and some people will
experience this with no fill, no stroke rectangles in the most recent versions
of Illustrator. You now know how to
fix that problem.
9. Tip 7 - Save your Patterns: When you're making
your own patterns, it's really important
to note that patterns are not
saved in Illustrator. If I create a brand
new document, you'll see that the
Swatches panel is our default Swatches panel and the pattern that I just
created a few minutes ago, the one with the
jewels in it doesn't appear inside the
Swatches panel. If you want to be able to use patterns that you've created, you're going to have to
do something about that. This is how you do it. The first thing
you want to do is clean up your Swatches panel, so get rid of
absolutely anything that you don't want to save
with this particular file. You have to keep this icon here, this non, and you have to keep registration but
anything else can go. I know that these
patterns are not needed. I also know that the first of these patterns is the one that I created that was wrong so I don't want that I want
to keep this one. I'm going to drag and
drop this pattern, the wrong one onto
the trash can. The only thing that's left in my Swatches
panel right now, is this pattern that
I want to save and two things that I just
can't remove anyway. Now I'm going to save it, I'll go to the
flyout menu and I'll choose save Swatch
Library as AI. You've got two options here an ISA file can't
contain a pattern, so there's no point in
choosing that you want to save it as an AI file. It's going to be placed
where Illustrator expects your patterns to be found so I'm going to
call this Jewels. It's an AI file, I'll just click Save. Now in any document in future, I can get access
to that pattern. I'm actually going to close this file and I'm just
going to trash it. We'll go back to
this new document I created just a
couple of seconds ago and let's go and now
find our jewels pattern. We can do that from
the flyout menu using open Swatch Library
and user-defined, or we can find it here at the
bottom of the Swatch panel. Here in libraries so I'm
going to "Click" here user-defined and then
we'll go to jewels. Here is a file and all it's got in it is my jewels
pattern so I can just click it and that will add it to the current Swatches
panel then I can create a shape that is
filled with my jewels pattern. You will need to save
your patterns to be able to use them in future
in other files.
10. Tip 8 - Warp a pattern filled object: It's possible in Illustrator to warp a pattern inside an object. We're going to start
with a rectangle. Right now, it doesn't
matter what size it is. I'm going to remove the
stroke from the rectangle. I'm going to fill it with this fairly complex pattern that is shipped
with Illustrator. I'm going to select
over this rectangle and we're going to warp this
using the envelope options. We'll start by choosing Object and then
Envelope Distort, and we're going to Envelope
Options first of all, because it's important
to make sure that you can actually
warp the pattern. In this case, it's
already set to do this. I've got Distort
Pattern Fills selected. It's really important
to have that enabled, so we'll click "OK." Now
we'll select our warp option. I'm going to choose Object
and then Envelope Distort. You could make it with a warp, which is a built-in shape. You could make it with a
top object where you try and fill the pattern to the
shape of another object. But typically, the
one you'll most likely want to use
is Make with Mesh, so I'll click to select that. I now get an option for
setting up my mesh. I'm going to select a simple four-column
by four-row mesh. You could make yours more
or less complex than this. You'll see the grid over the shape that has
our pattern in it. I'm going to the Direct
Selection Tool and I'm going to click on
this anchor point here. Now I can pull it to adjust the pattern
within this shape. You need to be really careful
to make sure that you're actually selecting
the mesh point and that things are working. Wind back using Control or Command+Z if things aren't
working as expected. But you can now bend and
manipulate the pattern to suit. You'll see that the shape itself isn't warping but
the pattern is.
11. Tip 9 - The Global nature of Patterns: Let's look now at the
concept that patterns inside Adobe
Illustrator are global. Before we do that, now, let's look at global
colors because if you've not met global options before, then this might all be a
bit confusing for you. I have two shapes
here that are colored in this pink up
here and you'll see that the pink looks a
little bit different in the swatches panel
because the yellow has a little triangle across its bottom corner telling
you it's a global color. This pink is not a global color. The result of that is without these two
shapes being selected, if I change this color
pink to some other color, nothing is going to
happen to anything that's colored with
that color inside the document,
they're not linked. But that's not the
case with this yellow, because yellow is
a global color. Even if I don't have
this shape selected, if I change this color, then the shapes are
going to change color. You can see that happening here. That's the concept
of a global color. If you change the color, even though the objects that are filled with that color
aren't selected, everything is going to change. Patterns are global too. I've got two shapes
here that are filled with this
pattern up here. This is at 100 percent size, this is at 50 percent size. Without having either of
these shapes selected, I'm going to edit this pattern
by double-clicking on it and I'm going to remove
one of these clouds. If I click "Done", you'll see that the pattern
inside this shape is updated because it's
a global change. This pattern is in use
inside these two objects and even though the objects weren't selected when
we made the edit, the objects themselves,
the patterns inside them have been changed. If you don't want this
behavior to occur, this is what you're going to do. Let's double-click this
pattern again to edit it. I'm again going to
take out a cloud. Now there are no clouds
in this pattern. But instead of clicking
"Done" this time, I'm going to click
"Save a Copy." Now this pattern is a separate pattern and it's not linked to those previous shapes. Provided I click
here on "Cancel", I have my new pattern and I've got my old pattern and because these shapes were created with the old pattern,
they're not changed. To change them, we
would need to select on the shape and then apply
this new pattern to them. Just be aware when you're
working with patterns inside documents in
Adobe Illustrator. If you edit a pattern that's in use elsewhere in the document, then every instance
of that pattern inside that document is
going to change unless you specifically save it as a copy and break
that connection.
12. Tip 10 - Recolor patterns with Recolor Arwork: It's possible to
take a pattern in Adobe Illustrator and to
completely recolor it, at the same time, create
a brand new pattern. I've got a shape here that's
filled with this pattern, so I'm going to select my shape. Up here on the toolbar is
the Recolor Artwork tool. I'll click it to get access
to the Recolor Artwork tool. In the most recent
versions of Illustrator, you're going to have to click
now "Advanced Options", and that gives you
this dialogue. These are all the colors
that are in the document, and you could change
any one of them by just double-clicking on this option here and change that color. Let's change this one to a pink. Everywhere that color is
in use in the pattern, it's changed this pink color. It's also possible to
use the Edit option. We'll click here on
"Edit", and here, we get access to
the colors inside the document if we lock them
as they're locked here. When I hover over it, it says unlink, which tells you that right
now they're linked. These colors are all
linked together, so I can drag on any
one of these colors and rotate the colors
through the color space. The relationship between
these colors is maintained. If you see a color
combination that you like, you can just click "Okay". When you do, notice up here that you get a
brand new pattern. We've still got the
original pattern, but we've got a
recolored version of it. At any stage, you can come back to either of these
versions of the pattern. Go back to the
Recolor Artwork tool, click on "Advanced Options", go back to any of these
options that you want to use, I'm using Edit, and then just change the
color of your design. Now, I like this,
but I don't like these yellow and green
areas of the image, so I'm rotating the colors around to get the
bits that I do like, then I'm going to
unlink the colors. Now, I can come in
and change these. Now, I have a color combination I like, I'll click "Okay". We've now got three
patterns; the original, the first iteration of it, and now the second.
13. Bonus tip - Placement of a pattern: This next tip is a little bit more informational than being a tip itself and it involves the placement of
pattern inside a shape. I'm going to click on
the rectangle tool and drag out a rectangle. I'll fill it with
one of my patterns. I'm going to add a circle
over the top of this. I'm going to the ellipse tool. I'm going to hold
down the Shift key as I drag out an ellipse. It's going to be filled with
the same pattern and you might notice something really interesting that's
happening here, and that is that
the pattern is in the exact same place inside the circle as it
would've been if it had been inside this rectangle
in this position, so these are forming a
sort of seamless look. In fact, if I remove the
stroke from this shape, you'll see that the edge of
this circle is seamless. That begs the question, what exactly is happening here? I'm just going to
delete that shape. I'm going to drag this pattern out of the pattern dialogue. What's happening here is, this is the pattern swatch, and if I were to take this
and place it up in the very, very top corner of this
document and let go, you'll see that it is again forming part of this
seamless pattern. The reason for this is that this top portion of the pattern is at 00 and when it's
placed inside an object, it's assumed that the
pattern is going in at 00, and so this is
going to be offset. If we wanted a pattern piece to look like this in the corner, what we could do is
just go and create our rectangle in the very
top corner of the document. When I create it in
the top corner of the document and just make
sure that I'm refreshing it, let's just add a fresh
version of the pattern to it, see how the top
corner of this shape now looks like the top corner
of the pattern swatch. Patterns are being
placed inside objects with a reference to the top
corner of the document, so you can move the
pattern inside the object, we've already seen
how to do that, but this is the reason
why you see what you see when you're adding
a pattern to a shape, how the position of the
pattern inside the object relates to the top
corner of the document.
14. Bonus tip - Add a background to a pattern: Our final tip involves adding
a background to a pattern. This isn't as easy as
it might first seem. I have a foolproof method that's going to work with
every single pattern. Let's have a look at the
problem and the solution. This is the pattern
we're working with. It's a pattern of
weather objects. I'm going to double-click
on the pattern to get access to the
pattern itself. The size of the
pattern is 500 by 500, so it's a nice easy area
to cover with a rectangle. I'm going to the rectangle
tool, I'm going to click here. I'm going to make a shape
that has 500 pixels by 500 pixels in size. Now, I'm going to
fill it with a color. I'm just removing
the color first up. We're going to add a color, and let's just change that
color so it's a color that doesn't appear elsewhere
in the document. I'm going to take this
rectangle and put it behind everything with object
arrange and send to back. Now, I'm going to pick it up, and I've got my tile
edges visible here. I'm just going to move it into position over the tile edge. Now, it's just about
in position here, but you'll be able to see
the problem really clearly. The problem is that this
shape is cut off here, and this shape is cut off here. This shapes cutoff here,
and it's cut off here. If we change the overlap, then we're going to end up with different things being cut off because things are overlapping on all sides of the document. If I click here to
get this piece back, then we're missing this piece. There's no combination of
these overlaps that's going to give you all the pieces of your pattern visible
at the one time. Effectively, this process is not working, and it can't work. It's impossible to work within the pattern options dialogue. Let me just delete
my filled rectangle. If we get to the end
of the process of actually creating the
look of our pattern, and at this point, we want
to add a background to it. This is how it's going to work
in every single instance. I'm going to drag
the pattern out of the patterns dialogue
into the document here. I'm going to the last pallet, and I'm going to
locate that no fill, no stroke rectangle that is at the very bottom of this
pattern because we know already that this marks out where our pattern
swatch begins and ends. What I'm going to
do is I'm going to make a duplicate of it. I'm just going to drag it
onto this plus sign here, so now I have two. I have this no fill, no stroke rectangle and this no fill, no stroke rectangle. Well, we know that the one at the bottom has
to stay no fill, no stroke or else the pattern
is going to fall apart, but this one doesn't
have to stay. It's the exact right
size for a background. What I'm going to do is target
this next to bottom one, and I'm going to fill
it with that color. Now, if I grab everything
using the selection tool, drag over absolutely
everything and drag and drop it into
the swatches panel, I now have a pattern, I'm just going to
delete it here. I now have a pattern that
has a background in it. Let's just drag out a shape, and fill it with our pattern. This is the original pattern, and this is the one now which
has the fill behind it, and none of these shapes inside this pattern are cut off, and it's also recolorable. If I go to the
Recolor Artwork tool and click on Advanced Options, I can change it now. I've got a color to work with, so I could unlock these colors. I could take this
blue background color around and say, "Okay. Well, this is the color
that I want to use as my pattern background,"
and click "Okay", and then we get another pattern. We get a pattern
automatically created. This pattern has a background. This is a full proof
method that will work with every single pattern you
create in Illustrator. It's a little bit tricky, but you know the basics of
what goes to make a pattern. You know that you've
got your no fill, no stroke rectangle at the
very bottom of that pattern, and you can duplicate it, fill one copy of it, the topmost copy of it with your pattern
background color, and then just save your pattern. From there, you can just
recolor it as you like. Selecting your pattern

15. Project and Wrapup for 10 Illustrator Pattern Tips: We've now finished with the video content
for this course, so it's over to you. Your project for this
class will be to tell me which of
these pattern, tips, or techniques you think are
going to be most helpful to you in your everyday
work in Adobe Illustrator. Post a comment to this effect
in the class project area. I hope that you've enjoyed this course and that you've
learned things about working with patterns
in Illustrator that you were
previously unaware of. If you did enjoy this
course and when you see a prompt asking if you'd
recommend this class to others, please would you do
two things for me? Firstly, answer yes, that you do recommend the class, and secondly, write, even in just a few words, why you enjoyed the class. These recommendations help other students to
say that this is a class that they too might
enjoy and learn from. Now, if you see the Follow
link on the screen, click it to follow
me and you'll be alerted when new
courses are released. If you'd like to
leave me a comment or a question, please do so. I read and respond to all
your comments and questions, and I look at and respond to
all of your class projects. My name's Helen Bradley. Thank you so much
for joining me for this episode of graphic
design for lunch, and I look forward
to seeing you in an upcoming class soon.
