Creating Thank You Card on Adobe Illustrator: Okay, Before starting to create our tend to cut here, if you don't see so many tools, just to go to Window toolbars and check that it's Ed funds or not. If it's the basic, then you will see on some limited tools here anyway in this course and this limited tools are okay, but we want to chance it into departments because it looks nice. Then we just click here, type to just click and click on this white area. That type right here. Thank you. Uh-huh. And here, if you want to write something more, then you just click anywhere. And it can slide it in and try again. And if you want to leak in your hand again, you can also write, again, I love you, okay? If you've made any mistakes or if you want to change it later, just click. And then you can base backspace, delete, and then you can just those ITD again. Or you can just hold the left-click and you can select, and then you can change the size. Okay, I am selecting calling the left click. And then here, when properties, we can see this character. And here I have different font. Probably you will have different terminology. Just select the font you like. I like this one. And I want to share this deck size. Then here on this drop-down, just click and change the size. That's it. But there is a better way to change the size here. Every time you type something. Then if you click here this selection tool, then you can select this text to very easily. Now I select this one and I'm going to take this, just press Delete from your keyboard. And if I click ten q, now if I hold the left-click and move our mouse, then I can move this text anywhere. And if I think that it's okay here, then just release the left-click. Another thing is you can see this box here. And if you go to this little rectangle, then you can see this arrow. If you call the left-click and move your mouse, then you can see that you can resize it to very easily. But if you resize it, you can see that the ratio is also challenging. To keep the same ratio. Just press Shift and hold the Shift on your keyboard and then move your mouse. Now we can see that it's scaling with the same ratio. Tank you. What happens when you just don't pull the ship Tony people, and just click this arrow and move it. It doesn't look nice when you just decided randomly. But if you like this style, you can keep it. Doesn't matter. I like to hold Shift and keep this pen Q here. Now I can move it somewhere. And I can also change the font after selecting. This makes sure that you have selected the text.

Okay. See you in the next class. 6. Saving & Opening File on Adobe Illustrator: Hi, welcome again. In this class, we're going to learn how to save the project hand or bend is saving project. Sometimes our computer can be test or sometimes maybe it's a load shedding problem. Sometimes the software can have some problems and you will lose your files. This time, we have only two text, but there are some project. You will have a large plot of shapes, a lot of text. If we lose that file, then it would be a big problem. So you need to make sure that you are saving this project, okay? For that we go to File and Save. And it will get these options. If you have a Creative Cloud option, then you can save this project on the Creative Cloud. You don't have to Audi to close that file. If we don't have Creative Cloud, then just to go to save on your computer and you just choose the folder and we're going to save it as tank cart. And make sure that this is Adobe Illustrator file or dot EA and safe. And make sure that it's checked. Otherwise, maybe you cannot edit the file very well in future. So make sure these are checked and Okay. Now your file is saved if you make any changes every time, just to make sure that you are saving this budget, says go to File and Save. Anyway. Sometimes if you lose the file unexpectedly, then sometimes edibles tutored, give you the option to recover that file, but sometimes maybe not. So it's the Beta. You save the file every time, or this prepays Control S from your keyboard. Okay, so how to open a saving project? Now, if you want to append is saving, just go to File and then Open. And here you choose thank-you card and open. It's showing me that these two command is already open. Create another window for the document. Yes. Now we can see that this is saved file. This is how you can often save your project. Okay, see you in the next class. 7. Smart Guides, Ruler, Bounding Box: Hi, don't do think that if at least it'll give us some guide when we're designing, will it not be better? In this class, we're going to learn how to turn on these features so that it will be a little bit easier for us to do the design. So here you go to view. Then make sure Smart Guides are checked. And you can also get the two largest. Just show rulers. And here, again, go to View and make sure that this high two bounding box is not checked. Okay, let me show you what is hide two bounding box. So here, if I select this text, now, I can see a bounding box here. And it's very easy for me to select this little rectangle and size it very, very easily and very fast just to go near to this rectangle. And then if you see this icon, then hold the left-click and move your mouse. Can see that. You can move it very easily. If you go to the pill hand, hide this bounding box. Now, you can see that you cannot see this bounding box anymore. Maybe sometimes you will mistakenly just hide the bounding box, then it will be very difficult for you to resize this text. For that, we go to View again and makes you on this show bounding box is always checked, not Hide Bounding Box. And other thing is this time when we get to moving this text. Now we can see some guidelines here. Suppose bilabial, if I move it, I can see these lines that like here. I can see here I am getting some idea that it can fit better. I'm seeing this is from the client pounds. And if I move here, it's showing me that this is the best line. If I move this text here, now I can see that these lines showing me it's airline to the pancreas. So it becomes a bit easier to understand if you'll go to View and smart guides are not checked. Now, you can see that even you are moving anywhere. You're not getting any idea that white is your text, but you can use your up in ice. Okay, we go to peel. This time, we turn on the smart guides. And you can also take help from the rulers. And here, this time we got digital loves. Click and hold, left-click and move it. Now you can see that you can just remove this line and here you can also move it. So you get some idea. It's a very easy. Anyway. This line will not be exported, so don't worry about it. 8. Export: Hi, hi, you have made your design. I'm really happy this time is for exporting your design and share it with others. So you have made this Tango Card. Now we just go to File, then go to Export and Export for Screens. And here you just choose your folder where you want to save this file. Then you can also use skeleton, but this time we'll keep it just one. And here, export. It's exported successfully. And this time, go to your folder. Then you can see this like on it. And inside that you can see your tank. You got amazing right? After exporting your work, makes sure that you all share your work with other students in this course. See you in the next class. 9. Basic Shapes: Hi, welcome again. In this class, I am Kumar, and in this time we're going to learn about basic shapes. So if you see here rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, Polygon tool, that tool or this line, arc tool, spiral tool. These are the basic shapes. With this basic shapes, you can really create something amazing success in these thank-you card, I have added rectangle on the background and here I have added is circled on the background. If I don't have this rectangle, now we can see that it doesn't look better. So with adding these basic shapes, we can make our design MAC. After finishing this class, we are going to learn how to use this best six chips and also how to modify the size. Okay, We go to File and click New to create a new file. Here. This time, if I go, then I can see there is a little arrow. If you see there is a little arrow on the tools, that means there are more tools inside it. So how to create those tools? If we hold the left-click, then you can see the other tools. Suppose here, if I click on this line, just hold the left-click and I can see the other tools. And here this time we want to just hold the left-click and tangled. And if you'll just click on this white area. Now we can say the width and also the hate. And, okay. And you can create a rectangle. That is another way to create rectangle or basic shapes that just click this rectangle tool again, but before that makes sure that it is not selected. And selection tool then Rectangle Tool. Now you will just hold the left-click, hold the left-click, and move your mouse. And if you are happy with the size of the rectangle, then just to release the old left-click, that's it. You can select different tools, such as rounded rectangle tool. And again, the same way, just to hold the left-click and move your mouse. Again. Ellipse tool. This to hold the left-click and move your mouse. Again, polygon tool. Just hold the left-click and move your mouse pad. Easy. If I click this line tool, then just hold the left-click and move your mouse can create these shapes. And again, just select a different tool and hold the left-click and move your mouse. Okay, but to why are we learning these basic shapes? This is very simple. If you look at the designs here, just I have stars flyers on Google and you can see that there are many designs, many fliers, and you can see there are so many, many, these basic shapes. And just consider this one. You can see there are three, circle and rectangle. And here in the design, they have just to modify these basic shapes. Like here. They have added just a rectangle on the background, make it better. So this is how we can use these basic shapes to our design and make it a MAC. Let's go back here. If I click this despite Alto, and again, I just click, hold the left-click and move the mouse. Now I can see. And when you're finished just to creating your lips all the spiral, then just click the selection tool and select these objects very easily. So you learn that how to May or create here basic shapes. And also another thing that is when you are selecting this object, you can see this little rectangle. You can just hold the left-click and resize it. Anytime. In the next class we're going to learn that how to chance Carlin up this basic shapes and something more than about two modifying these shapes. See you in the next class. 10. Layers In Adobe Illustrator: Hi, welcome again. In this class, we are going to learn about clear. Last time, we have learned about basic shapes. But how to use these basic shapes with layers. Just pink here. If we just all on these ten q text, we don't want to see this. I love you and this circle. Then what we have to do, that is a simple way. That is just we select it and press Delete from the keyboard. But if we have layers, then we don't have to delete them. We can do it more effectively and we don't have to delete and write them again. So in this class we are going to learn about layers. For that. Just to go to File and Open. You can see layers on your project folder and then open that file. So what is layered? You, it will be very clear in this class. If you have an idea about layers, then probably you can escape this class. Here, you can see that this is the icon of the layer. If you don't see this icon, then just to go to Window and then choose these three layers, makes sure that it's checked. So you could click here. Now, I can see this is the layer panel or Layer window. You have to do is just click on the layers and hold left-click then just to move your mouse. And if you think that it fits better here, then the electric, That's it. We don't need other window this time. And we click here too. Minimize that. And we can see that we have three here. And here, you can see this little icon. If I click this icon, then I can hide it. If I click this layer to, this is the layer two, I can hide it. Does the layer three, very simple, okay? And in this time, if we often lump them together, then what happens? Okay, this is three. This is one. Now, if you look here on the layers, this is a one, this is two, this is three. So the layer on the top, then we can see that clear. If the layer on the bottom of this three layer, then we can see this two layers is feasible as much as possible, okay? If I move it on the top, then what happens? Just to hold the left-click and move it on the top. And Tillis your mouse now, number one on the top. You can see that. We can see number one on the top. Here in layer two. If I move it on the top, then what happens? Just to hold the left-click and move it on the top and release your mouse. Left-click, sorry. And here this time we can see the number two. And this time we don't want number two on the top, just to one, this number 200 meter. So you can see that we can see clearly number one, then number two, and number three on the bottom. So every time if we write something here on number one or if it's a 2D size it, then we can only see number one. Because the number one on the top, It's like a beers. If you think that this is the number one, number two, number three P's. So number one base if it's bigger than the number 2.3 pairs. And then you can see the number 2.3 bays. But if the number one piece is just the small, but still, you will see number one on the top because here they are one on the top. Then layer two, layer three. This is how you can control your object. Suppose you don't want to work on the layer one. So you just turn it off or just to hide it. And it was just to work on this layer two. So when you work on the layer took, you have to click that layer. Anyway. That is another way. Suppose you don't want to touch number one. Maybe you are drawing something or writing something, but you don't want to touch anything or write anything on the number one, then what you can do, you can lock it. Now, number one is locked. So here, if you click, then it will be locked and you will see lock icon. So what happens when you lock something? When you lock something, then you cannot select those objects, which is belongs to layer one. If I select now lambda, layer one and layer three. But if a log clear three, click here. Now, here, what about iodide? It will be on layer two. Okay, let me show you, I choose this type tool and now write something. Write something. Now if I just increase the scale of this text size. Now we can see that this is on layer two. And if I just unlocked, now, if a log this the layer two, now I can select this, write something. If we lock it. Now you can see that I cannot select this text, write something. I can select layer three and layer one. Layer two. This is how you can lock your layers and while effectively, but make sure that whenever you are working on this layer, makes sure that that layer is selected. Anyway. If by mistake, if you copy on, write something on a different layer, you can always move it to the other layer. Okay, let me show you such as here. I have this right to something on the layer two. So when it's selected, you can see this red rectangle. It shows that I am working on layer two. If I want to move it, just like press Control X to cut it. And if A1 to paste it on layer one, then select layer one and then click here on this little circle. And now it's layer one. And if I press Control V from the keyboard, now, it's moved to layer one. So in this time, if I lock layer one, you can see that I cannot select cite something. And if I move this two on the top, now you can see that number to layer on the top. And number two area is visible. And you can see that as I add something, it's just behind the number two. I hope that you have learned everything about layers in this class and it would be helpful for our next glasses. Anyway, if we still have some confusion about layers, don't already and just go to next classes. I hope that I will be able to clear your confession. See you in the next class. 11. Useful Shortcuts Tips: Hi, I am. Welcome you again. In this class. In this time, we are going to learn about some basic functions are the basic shortcuts are better village tutor. And after finishing this class, you will be able to make your design. Okay, Let's start. Here, has something that we learn that is copy and paste. We know that how to do copy this Control C from your keyboard. But before that you need to select that object, what you want to copy, then control C on your keyboard or just right-click. Then you can also see Copy then Control V to paste. But you can see that I have copied, thank you. This one. But this tan cube based on the middle. So what about if I don't want this tank you to based on the middle bar, the same position. Then again, this select and Control C to copy and Control F to paste in the same place. So in this time, if I select hand hold the left-click and move it, then I can see that it's pasted on the same place. Okay? I can delete it to very easily. Just select and delete from your keyboard. If I want to count it, just press Control X. So why do and cut? If I want to paste it on a different layer, suppose this is layer one and I want another layer, layer two. Then your window layer is open. Then just click this plus icon, create a new layer. And you can see this is layer two and selecting Layer two and then press Control V. Now we can see the tank you on the layer two, but we want this pancreas on the same position in layer two. Then how to do that? Okay, we made a mistake. Now, if you press Control, is that from your keyboard, then it can undo. Again. Now, Control F. Now you can see that Tengu best in the same place, but in a different layer. So if I hide it, you can see that hard about if we want to move this Iowa view and this circle in a new layer. So how to do that? Just select this iLab you and this shift on your keyboard. Then select this circle. Now, two of them are selected. Now press Control X, if we're using Windows. Command app, if you're using Mac, control on Windows. And now I can create a new layer, layer three, and make sure that layer is selected. Now, I press Control app from the keyboard. Now we can see this. I love you on layer three, but we can see eye level on the top. Why? Because you can see that layer three is on the top of the layer one, so we can just remove it. Now, you can see that layer. I Love You Hen this circle on the behind. Thank you. Okay. Another thing, if you want to duplicate something very easily without copy and pasting, then there is another way. It's just this altar. And select the upset. And if you hold the left-click and move it, then you can very easily duplicate it. Suppose I want to duplicate this rectangle, then just press and hold the ALT are all from your keyboard. Then hold the left-click and move your mouse. But you can see that we have selected panko instead of these rectangle. So make sure that you have selected the object to very carefully. Otherwise, it will duplicate something else. So this time, again, just this whole pen hold it. And this time you can see that when I am going to select it, the tanker is selected. But we don't want to duplicate. Thank you. Okay. We can go here. Maybe in this side and hold the left-click. Now, you can see that we can duplicate it very easily, okay, in the same way, if you want to duplicate this, then just hold the ALT key from your keyboard and hold the left-click and move your mouse. And you can see that you can copy and duplicate them very easily. Okay, let's just delete them. Now. If just the one to copy or paste or duplicate this whole item, then I can select all of them. Do that, just hold the left-click and move your mouse and select them. Now, if I want to duplicate them, just press ALT on your keyboard. Then hold the left-click and move your mouse. Again, Sadie. Ok, select this and hold the left-click hand. Won't be at a mouse. And see that I can duplicate it. Pity very easily. Okay, I hope that you will remember this simple shortcut and you don't have to memorize them when we work on the next project, then it will be very clear for you and you can very easily see you in the next class. 12. Modifying Workspace Tips: Hi, welcome again. In this class, we are going to learn how to modify the workspace. And after finishing this class, you can create your own workspace and save it for later. Let's start. In the beginning. We'll go to Window, then, while the space. Then choose this fashion shelves glossy, and then, and go to Essentials Classic. Now, it's the default space. Have the Essentials Classic. If we want to change your white space just to go to Window Workspace. And you can see that there are many workspaces. And you can just choose the white space that you'd like. Suppose you want to do painting. The n is just select this painting. Now, you will see that this user interface has champs. Because when you do painting, you need a laptop, brushes. You'll need the color. Also, you need to see the layers. So these will give you the most productivity. If I see Layer window again, while the space, then typographic, if a type so many things, then this will give you the best for activity anywhere. Anytime you can change this work is best and make your own workspace and you can save it here. Okay, So how to do that? Suppose here I want to challenge you to essentials, classic past. Now, if I want to just see this color window, then if I click here, now I can see this color window here. And if I go to Window now, you can see this when this color is checked. When something is checked here, that means that window is opened. If it is not checked, that means it's hidden. So if I click here again, now we can see that it's hidden. Anyway, you will get this small icon here. These, this is how you can select your window. Pet easy. But for that, you need to remember this icon. But the downtrodden this time, which is to go to window and the window we need, we just select them. Suppose we need two layers. The layers now layout is up and now if I want to move this layer, then I just hold click on the top of the layer and then move our mouse. Now I can see that I can separate this window from this three-year window. If you go on this top and click this double arrow, then expand all the panels. If you don't want to see all of these, just click this double arrow, it will be minimised. You can also minimize this one. Just click this double arrow. Now, if I click it again, it will be expanded. This time we want to layers and properties or font panel together. So how to do that? Go to Window and find the window we need. Suppose we need the window. The stroke click here. Now is stroke is open and all the left-click and separate it. If you want to move this panel, that is very easy. Just click on this top and hold the left-click and move it. Petty, silly. If you want. This is stroke panel inside this layer, then what you have to do is just to hold the left-click on the stock and move it here. And then you can see this blue box. Then it will release the left-click. Now we can see that here you can choose the layers and stroke. Okay, We can go to Window again. Now we can find that window that we need, probably swan color. So color is here. I can hold this color and separated if I select this collar crime n, and if it go near here on the bottom of this panel that I can see this blue line. And then if I release my left-click now, it will be a test with this window. So if I click here now and hold the left-click, I can move them. Together, this is how we can separate the window and see it in the window. As we like. If I click this double arrow, I can also minimize them. If we click it again, then I can expand it. And anytime if we don't want and just place this cross icon, then it will be timid. Another thing, if you don't see all the tools here, then you can go to Window. And then just to go to toolbars. And here you need to select the Bessy cost and ponds. Now it's basic, so not so many tools. So you can go there again. Now it's balanced. Anyway. If you want more tools here, then if you click this three dots, Edit toolbar. Now you can see that there are some more tools. You can select the tools you need. Currently, we have all the tools here. Okay, this time I can select it to basic. Now, if I click this three dots, again, Edit toolbar. Now we can see that I have gotten so many tools here, because now most of the tools are hidden, so I can select them. And I can select this tool to incur tool, and I can move them pretty easily. If I need this tool, then I can move it. Let's hold the left-click and move it. I can see them now you'd see here, this is how we can also customize the tool bar. Anyway. Now this toolbar on this top, it looks weird. So just to hold the left-click and move it. And if you go to decide, now you can see this blue line. If you just release it now, it will be at cast here.
