Beginner's Guide - Create Full Sized Concept CAD Then Add BOM & Integrate With A Finished Tech Pack

1. Intro: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody. Welcome back to my class, Stella, here. So today I would like to show you how to create full-size concept cat. And there are four silhouettes right in front of me. Tote bag number one. Number two, a straw bag number three, which is essentially a tote bag as well. And lastly is the cosmetic bag. So very often the type of design requests you will receive is literally what you see right in front of you. Someone will send you an email or memo memo and says, Okay, so I would like to see how bag number one and number two will look like at its full size value. And then they will give you some sort of a sigh and bottom construction so you know how to create them. So right here for bank 1.2, we have a t seem, so basically T bottom construction, which I will show you how to do that. And some sort of a size of reference that we can scale the actual cat up to this size, which I will also show you how to do that if you haven't. There is another video where I show you how to draw a full-size. Please look that up before watching this video, it will make so much more sense. In that video. You will also learn how to set up everything in metric, not Imperial inches. We do not draw in Imperial inches. And in that video, I also explain why that is the case. This is pretty much the industry standard. So we measure in metrics. We also draw in metrics. And how did I set up the toolbars here? All the panels over here is all in that video. How to draw a full-size TO please watch that first. Now, for this one, this is all I got. Apparently this is a reference size. A team member fam on eBay with the link plus in centimeter is this tall? And top basically means in this case the top width. So from here to here is 55 centimeter Y. So which basically means I will have to proportionally figure out what the bottom width and the depth well-being. Now lastly, the cosmetic bag is fairly simple. All we need to do is just follow the 9.75 inch to 7.25 inch. And I think this one I want to say she said There are no GSA is a flat base, which means that there's no bottom as well, which means that it will be insane insane, insane construction or around the front and the back panels as sewn together and that's it. And turn inside out, just like sewing a piece of Garmin. So, okay, let's get started. 2. How To Interpret Reference Image & United Conversion: So the first thing we're going to do is convert inches to centimeters. So open up your Google and just type inches, two cm. Alright, here is your calculator, so it's not that hard, is it? The first thing I need to do is typing the number 12.25 is the height. So let's do this trial. 0.25 is the highest, so that's about 31.115. Honestly, the 115, so little. I'll just keep it at 30, 1 cm. So this is actually what I'm going to do. I'm going to copy, paste this on the side. And I'm going to do, sorry, 1 cm height times 11. 11 ". That'll be 27.94. Obviously, 27.9 is very close to 28, so I'm actually going to change this to 28. Don't always have to work in full numbers. There's no such a rule. It really depends on the type of design and the proportion that we're talking about. In this case, working whole number might be easier for the total. So that's the reason why I'm rounding things up. So the next one, the debt will be 5.25, okay, 5.25. That will be searching pints three. So let me leave this three because 0.3 is obviously larger than 0.1, so you will visibly see it with your eye. The points 313.3 cm. Perfect. So let's read this back. 1.2 shall have generally the same size, so same thing. Okay, both TC, alright, Okay, so we got this done. This is 35 in metric already 55 cm. So I don't have to do conversion of this null as to conversion of this little cosmetic bag knife 0.759, 0.75, that will be 24.7. Do I want to run off the 24 by seven to 24, find a you know what, let us do that 24.8 and then 7.25, 18.4. So that's 2.4 centimeter. Okay, So this is actually the width. And then, whoops, sorry, this is actually the height. Okay? So generally the rule of sum when it comes to creating full-size cat is you don't have to overdraw all the views as compared to creating a technical spec. Because in technical spec you actually have to draw everything out like top view, bottom view, side view, three-quarter views. So the pattern maker can actually see how every panel is so as connector stitch together. In this case, the purpose of using a concept cat is really for the rest of the team, the sales team to merge team to production team, to kind of get an idea on how this bag is going to look like. How big is it gonna be, how small is it gonna be, and how well can they sit together with the rest of the collection. So it's really like a first-stage initial impression for the whole team to start, to have a discussion about it and to decide if this is the right style, the right size, the right silhouette they want to move forward with before you start the technical sketch. On this note, I will have to say, and I said this in the other video. Not every single company bothers to create full-size CAD, but it is a very good skill to have. Because what has happened a lot in the past is, let's say the designer created this toe just literally free hand with zero regards to the actual size of it. And then what ends up happening is, let's say the sales than the merge, the cytokine will make the pocket bigger, smaller at this. And then once you go into the technical specking or the tech pack making development stage, people start to notice they couldn't fit, let's say the pocket on the front because the front in reality is actually too short to Y2. This today, It's always good that you start the whole design process. Full size scalp value, you draw everything up to scale so you can really see how this bag is going to be light. And when you start to make changes and revisions, you know, your arm pointing versus everything looks gray with zero regard to, let's say, gravity and what's the Edison proportion? And how things will sit on your shoulder, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 3. Tote 1 Tutorial : Okay, so let's start with bag one. So drag everything out of the art board. So it's not in our way. Let me just put a here. And if you don't know how to resize our board, just basically select the art board, go to Documents setup, and go to Edit Artboard, and you see the bounding box and then you can make this as big, as small as needed. So right now, I'm just going to keep it like this. And then we'll go from there. Make sure you have your ruler out along the sides of this workstation. So the hotkey for that is hold down command and press R. So Command R comma r. So it will go away and it will come right back. Right away. I'm using a MacBook Pro, so maybe for PCs, different. I'm sorry, I don't know what the Cauchy is for PC, so you will have to find that out. Alright, so let's how we actually create full-size CAD using a reference photo. I'm not really sure where the reference photo is from, but the first thing I would do is I will scaled it up. This is the right scale, most likely not. After I scaled it up, what I would do is I will try to find a bounding box for 30, 1 cm in height and 28 cm in width. Okay? So just by looking at it, 30, 1 cm height most likely includes drop length of the shoulder bag. So it's this entire height. We're talking about. The way. Here's the thing. Most company measures from the top width then followed by the bottom width. So right now, I don't know if the 20th centimeter is at the top with what talking about or the bottom was. So what I'm actually going to do is to do some guesswork. Either way, let me create a box in red. My apology, my hand hit something on the table. So let's create this in red. Let's also make the stroke kind of sex so it's easier for us to see it 0.07. Okay, so next thing we're gonna do is I just zoom out so I can see the entirety of the images. I'm using a standing desk. That's the sound you're hearing when I'm moving my desktop and now, alright, so here is the width. When you create a box, go up here, right next to the shape type. What was plenty a, and the height is 31. Alrighty then, so you can see the shape. Most likely 28 centimeter, will be the top width. Because if it's the bottom width, that means the top width has to be even longer than 20, which is fine. If you're trying to make a ginormous bag, then go for it. But looking at measuring tape in real life, which you can't really see it here. 28 centimeter looks more probable as the top width. So yes. So as you, you are deciphering the dimension of your bag. You also had to use a measuring tape in real life. And just kinda I it to see, does that make sense for the 20th centimeters to be a top width or the bottle was. Alright, that being said this I learned when I first started, is when you have a reference photo, and that's a relatively good photo, you literally line it up to the bounding box. I'm going to lock the bounding box so I don't select it by accident. So the way you line it up is you select the bounding box and then you press and hold Command plus 2k and then you lock it. So what happened is all I can do is drag this reference image back-and-forth. But I can't select this bounding box because it's being locked. If you want to unlock anything, just go to Object, Unlock All. And you can unlock everything anyway. So let's come back to this and let's make sure the edge oh, the side and the bottom are just sitting on top of the red box and I'm going to just hit it. There we go. Okay. So now we are going to press Shift, hold it down, and we're going to drag and enlarge it. I will explain them, Momo, what I'm doing. So I'm proportionally, now's the moment. I am proportionally enlarging this. So at the bottom and the side of the bag, what touch the bounding box. Right. Let's just make sure I will touch as much as we can. Okay? Yep. That looks right. Now. I'm going to lock this. So again, select the entire image, hold down command and press number two. There we go. Alright, what do you see? Almost right off the back. You realize the top part of the shoulder strap exceeds the height of this red bounding box. Why is that? When you measure a bag, some people prop up the bag so much. So the leathers, in this case, I think this is swayed. So whether you're working with swayed or leather, there is flexibility and elasticity to that material. So a lot of times, depending on how many times does bag has been propped up to be photographed. The leather and the Sway will start to expand. And this is what you see. And also don't forget if you ask some fillers to the bags body to prop it up so that it can stand on its own. That will also affect how the strap is being warped and photograph at the same time. So what we have found is that 80% of the time the measurement in the overall size of the bag listed on the website never really match. So this is when you, as a designer, had to sink us through. How do I do this and make the right judgment call. 4. Tote 1 Tutorial Continued + T Bottom Construction: Alrighty. So the next thing I'm going to do is I just zoom in. Make sure you use the pen tool and make sure that it is not filled in black. Let's make this unfilled with black line. You don't want to know, let's make this into a really nauseous green lines so you can actually see it. And let's also make this like that. So this is the first thing I'm going to do. I'm going to copy. I'm only going to draw half of this if you've watched my other video about how to draw a full-size TO, you'll see why we only do half. So let's just start right here. Let's just kinda follow through. So I just I all right. Can we see? Yes, we can see. Let's make this brighter so you can see better. It's like a Christmas tote Right now we're looking at alright, so do you see I just copy and traced half of the shape. It's okay if this line a little bit wider than the actual photo itself, because this is only for your visual reference of how the Sway will eventually drape. So let's select this, press down Option and hold. And you see the double arrow showing us that basically means duplicate. And I do apologize in my previous video, I keep saying that word wrong for some reason I was tired. Now, drag it out. Now. Do the hockey oh, and then flip it. So this is mirroring and measure. This side touches a bounding box and just measure because I'm paranoid that this is fully aligned on top and bottom. Next thing you do is you select this press Command, hold it down and j, it will close the two holes on top. And then also select these two points, 0.10 point to select both. And then press Command, hold it down and press J. You see how it close it up. Now, do you see these two little circles? So the double circles basically means corner. So you see corners right here. Now there's no corner radius is at zero. To happen. If I change this to one, it rounded up. Some companies, they want the cat to be as realistically drawn as possible. And as we know that when you sold leather, cloth or anything, there's no such thing as straight edge. There's always a slight corner. That's just how the machines bill, how you turn in the material will look once the stitch goes down. So as a result, I always measure my corner is not 90 degrees sharp. I always round it up. In this case, we're going to do exactly the same thing. Okay, So now the next thing is, I am going to fill this up there. You just got your very first from body. Now, we need to do something about the straps. And I realized there is actually a note about the strap. Replace above straps with flat straps should be large. Ish. Large ish. Okay. So they didn't send me a size reference. So I am assuming large ish is probably larger than this. Slightly smaller than that or about the same size? Honestly, a flat strap is very hard to wear on your shoulder and stay there when they are very wide. Anything beyond like a five centimeter gets difficult to stay on your shoulder straps. They just kinda keeps sliding off of your shoulder. So I'm gonna go with my better judgment. I'm gonna make a five centimeter. I feel like that's kinda like a mask. Unless the customer tells you now make a wider than you did your part, just let them know, Okay, It will slide up more easily, but if that's what they want, you'll do it for them. So this is already like four centimeter. Maybe I will stick to a four because phi will be so much larger than that. Okay? You know what, I'm just going to go with this. But instead of pinching it on the top like this, I'm not going to pinch it. I'm going to make a flat. Now, remember how we were saying that the strap kinda goes beyond the bounding box according to the size that is given. From here to here is only 30, 1 cm. Clearly the strap goes beyond that. So this is what you need to do. Next. First, you, let's measure. The actual drop length on the top edge of the bag. So from here to the bottom edge of the straps. So this is how we actually measure a strap, which is called a drop. And this is about there. So select this ruler or guideline, whatever you call it, while 13.4. So now I'm going to rummage and look at my actual measuring tape. Okay. So it's a small bag. I'm going to make a judgment call here. I am actually going to lengthen this to 15. Okay. And this is actually a good time up. You see what just happened? I add it to 15, but then the guideline actually extended at the bottom, but not the top. So I'm going to backspace, which is Command Z. And then I'm going to come to this little grid and I'm going to lock the center bottom this little part. What it would do is if you have watched my first video while you type 15 because the bottom is lock on the I'm sorry, the guideline will extend to the top versus towards the bottom. So now this is the drop, the total drop my bag. So now the next thing I'm going to show you is how do you draw this? So now let me actually make sure this is centered. Alright, center. I'm also going to lock this. Now. A way to do. It ends here, ends here four centimeter. You see that? When you have a pen tool selected, when you line up, when you have the pen tool selected, let me repeat that. Make sure you go to View, make sure you select Smart Guides, snap to point. In a smart guy, you will actually see when the points align. Illustrator will automatically show you where it intersects the line, center line. So this is what I'm doing now. So right here is four centimeter. Then I'm going to match it right here, here. And then pull inside the arch. We go, See that. Okay? So we'll do the same. Here is about, here you go. And then I'm going to oh, sorry, let me do a slightly above that point. Okay. Then let me just adjust the shape of the arch so it looks more realistic versus strangely sticking out. That happens a lot. Okay, That looks about right to me. Now, I'm going to connect these two. So drag this down. And then remember we talked about select those two endpoints and hold down command and press and j. There we go. So they are closed. Now here I will have to do a bit of, you know what? No, I could just connect it like that. Easy now. And then you can see that the strap is being overlapped by the body. So you have to do is select the body, arrange, bring to front. There. You can see it anymore. Now let's fill this up and see how it looks like Philadelphia. Okay. Let me actually oh, sorry. I just realized I left the guideline back there. So let's just delete that because I don't like random floating lines and points everywhere. It actually slows down your files, especially when your file starts to get pretty made. So I wouldn't do it. Looks about right, but something's not right, is this little bump, if you remember, this little bump is the result of the reference photo of this bag whose strap is actually so into the forearm between the front panel and the lining. So it's kinda like and obviously the thickness of the strap will push the front panel forward. That's why you see this little almost like a little while not fall like bump drilling. So in this case, what I'm actually going to do a slightly adjust the bump so it matches the placement aware strap actually is me. Just bring this down slightly. So then let's add a bit freehand drawing or that looks awful. My apologies. I'm not using my stylus, I'm using my mouse to do this. So it's not as, as precise as the way I like to do freehand. Freehand is brush. The hockey is be just the letter B. Paintbrush tool you see to be right here. So when you use a brush tool, pen brush tool, go to brushes. And then it has many different types of brush styles. Because select, Let's do this one. I like this one better. So what this actually is, it indicates to the factory and to the people that do a bit of a wrinkle going up on the surface of this bag. Now, let us also fixed the arch. There we go. Okay. I personally like to make a strap a little bit thicker than the rest of the body. So it stands out more. Some people don't like to do that, that's totally fine. So what am I doing now? Holding down option Duplicate and then leave it, select it, press 0, which is to mirror. We go and then let us put a Misha will meet in the center. Now, let's also do the fixing of where the bomb is. One other wrinkle, whatever you wanna call it, is going to be, let's just lower this a bit more so it doesn't look so exaggerated. And then saying with this duplicate mirror, when a factory sees this day on the standing leg is soft because only soft material will create wrinkles. It is not so structured. Alright? You just state your first silhouette, but what are we missing? Stitch lines. Okay. When it comes to stitch lines, oh, actually, my apology doula allow me to backtrack because see what's happening here. You're supposed to the underside of the strap. And I didn't draw it because I forgot. That's okay. Come back here. Do a straight line. Come back here. And because this is the on the site when the strap is turn, it does not need to be drawn exactly accurate mean that it doesn't have to be drawn exactly four centimeter because when you tried to do that, it becomes let me add it. It becomes like this, like that, really sick. And then visually it just, it just doesn't make any sense. Unless your company tells you to be 100% accurate, then, okay, fine. Give them what they want. So in our case, what you do is a line that makes sure it looks like this and then you can make this. Alright, good. So that's good enough. You can see that's clearly the underside of the strap. And then you give shoe that depths that three-dimensionality of the strapping turn on the other side when your hand is holding it. Amazing. Now coming back to adding stitch line, this is extremely important. It drives me insane when people don't do this while it drives the factoring. Same because again, even though this is a concept cat, in such a stage, you'll need to be able to effectively communicate all the right information that will eventually be approved, confirmed by your team before sending it to the factory. So the way to determine the stitch line is you need to understand why material I will be working with. Original reference image shows a sway back. But if you look at the note that is given to me, shape as above in Canvas. So it's actually canvas fabric. It is not leather. So what that means is all the edges that you see here, we turn edges like how you turn the edge when you saw a piece of cloth together. So we don't see the edge of the cloth and the fibro, the class does not fray when you don't turn it. That's how we finished the edge. When you work with any fabric, you can always add leather binding. But in this case, I didn't see any requests for leather binding. I didn't see any added knows about they going to use leather trims. So I'm going to assume this has gotta be a completely canvas fabric bag. So the first thing you do is you select this entire body. And then you had to add the stitch line by going to Object Path. And then you need to do offset path. You see what happened. You offset the past by 0.3 528 centimeter. Does this with default, Illustrator has, I don't know why they sent us this. You don't have to worry about. It just joins I'm meter, leave as is. Watch my other video on how to draw a full-size TO where I explain the gauge distance between the needle. And the foot of the sewing machine is about 0.25 centimeter or 2.5 millimeter. Did you see what just happened? So let's do this again. So this is the original silhouette of your bag. And then when you added the offset 0, this is not a St. it creates a line on the outside, this secondary line on the outside of your bag, but this is actually wrong. The secondary line is supposed to go onto the inside of your bag. Because as you stitch to stitch line onto the bag now on the outside of the value doesn't work like that. So how do you bring the secondary line onto the inside of the bag? You add a minus. So anything that has a minus, that means the offset line, the path goes onto the insect, anything that's a positive, it goes on the outside. There we go. Now it's on the inside. Great. So what do you do? You go to Stroke. You go to dashed line. Okay. And then you look, the stitch line looks very long, very big. It doesn't look realistic. The SPI would do is about six. That's the standard for bags, but we sometimes will make it larger or smaller or whatever. So visually you just add it. Let me bring this down to 0.3. Okay, it looks a bit more realistic. What about the gap in-between each stitch? Let's try 0.2. Okay. I'm, I think I'm liking a Bezier points three still looks a bit too long for me. So let's do 0.25. Now, we're talking. They show the cap and corner is rounded because if you look at any of the stitches that you have on your clothing, your NO. Your bag usually has around. That's because you use a ROM point needle. You can use the sharper one, which is a whole another class we'll talk about before. Now, does it not look more like a bat? But here's the problem. This stitch line goes all the way around the back. But anyone who has any sewing experience, you know, that's not How back is. So unless you purposely wanted to design the construction that looks like this. In our case, that's not what we want because let me just unfilled this so you can see it. Let me also on fill them up silhouette. If you look at the original design, they are no stitch line around it except on the top. Because you are stitching the psi as the insane. Which I will show you in a moment because we're going to draw the sides. So this is all you need to keep. So what I just did was me backtrack. I use the scissor, which is the Cut tool. So the hotkey for that I see press C, cut the anchor, cut it already cut that one. Just delete the rest that you don't meet. Their perfect. We're gonna do the same with the shoulder strap. Now, with the shoulder strap, we selected this particular brush. Let's go back to the basic, so it's easier to create the offset path. Now you can select all three. So this, this and then go to Object Path, Offset Path, say that zero prime to phi. So mimicking the distance from the edge that will actually happen when you put that piece of fabric on a sewing machine. That's how far the foot the fabric will be. Alright, So I'm cutting all these anchors open. Again. The hotkey for cutting, see, I'm cutting open. And I'm going to mention none of them fell. So I'm selecting this and then I'll fill them. Okay, you can do the same as Y on Fill. Fill. Perfect. Okay. This one is still. Oh, no, this one is still. Okay. So we do exactly the same go to stroke, select dashed line. Okay. We don't need the bottom part because this strap is inserted into the bags. So let's get rid of that. So select, press down, Shift to do multiple select. And then you can do eye drop hockey for that is the letter I. And just click on this. There we go. Now we're going to fix this part. What's happening here is that because this twist and turn the strap. So technically this this part of the strap goes towards the back. So you won't see the stitch line because the stitch line will literally go towards the back. But you will see the stitch line because it stays in the front. So you just had to kinda make it look like it's continuous. So now there we go. Just had to clean it up a little bit. Devil's in the detail, isn't it? Now we go same with this. You got to bring this to the back because that's where visually your strap is going. So what's happening is this is too long. Let me just delete this, okay, so this technically is this, this technically. So there is a perspective going on here. That's all I'm trying to say. Now, let's just select it. The silhouette of the strap. Let me go back to brushes and make it, Was it this one that I select or was it this one? Was actually this one. Yeah. Now if you look at it, you got your first from Look done. Now let's clean this up a little bit. Let's go to Object Unlock. All right, now let's just drag this somewhere else outside of the art board. Let us also get rid of this drop. Let us get rid of this bounding box. Let us also make this a little bit. There we go, more visible. So now when the rest of the team looks at the sober that, Oh, this is so cool. Let's try go to swatch. What would it look like in this color while what I look like in that color, you guys can even add textures. So that's how you do it. Now, usually in concept cat, let me actually just type this. I should have typed this cat for size. There we go. That's made this huge, just so no one will mistake this. There we go. Now we're in business. Let's lock this first. So select everything. Right-click Group. Okay, let's put it here. How do you create a backside? Okay, hold on. Option. Duplicate your doc. Unless you want to add a pocket or anything, then you can just add the pocket on the back or anything else you want on a bat, but pretty much this is your back. I'm going to drag the size here so everybody can see it. I'm also going up, sorry. I'm also going to give it a title. So this is the Fromm. Let me make this bold. So no mistaking if the system back. Alright. So I also got a request saying that I want to see the psi because remember, it's a T C. Alright, so side, how are we going to do this? This is where we need this measurement searching 0.3. We already have the highest speaking out, which we only have the total height, which already went beyond 31. So let's redo this. So this is, you select the body. This is, let me see 28 top width, That's right. 17.6. Alright, so technically the height is 17.6. Oh, sorry. Body height. Okay. Well then I add the drop. I should not have deleted a guideline, but I did. It's okay. We'll create another one. So the bottom most part of the strap on to the top most part on back, 15.3. See this? 15.3? So I will write it like this. Shoulder drop, 13.6 centimeter. So this is the final dimension that you will update for your team. So no one is confused about this. I will also just double-check bread. So remember this has to go on to your shoulder. If not, they should've let me know. So the way we measure spread is from the center of the strap to the center of the other side. So that looks like about the center. So we're looking at 14.64, 14.6. So the spread is 14.6. So this is when you need to use your measuring tape in real life to measure all the 14.6. Why did it not to go onto the arm hole? Just like closing. If it's not wide enough, then you had to just make it wider or you can make the drop longer. The rule of thumb, again, watch my other video how to draw a toe full-size is that if the spread is not enough to go onto the shoulder Alice made to drop longer because when as longer is further away from the rest of the bag. So then there's a greater chance that your arm hole can go through by if the spread is wide enough, you can afford to have to drop a little bit shorter anyway. So that is what it is. So now we had to do this. Okay? That's all. Some people get a little bit confused when you start to change the sizing like this. So if they're comfortable, if they want to know the total length, just select all, see, top to bottom. Now we have 32.5, so we really just increased it by 1.5 cm. So you can do total height. Social profiles, CM, That's it. So you have all your measurements perfectly done. Next thing we're gonna do is. A side view so we know this height. So what I'm going to do is to use the guideline from your rulers on the side of your workstation. So basically select anywhere over here on a ruler, whole drag, you just see that line, that dotted line. I just dragged them a measure. You match it right in the center of the top edge. I can't see the Zooming. There we go. So it's aligned with the top edge of your bag and lock it, Command, hold it. Plus two. There we go. We're gonna do exactly the same thing. For the bottom. Let me just, okay, that looks match. Lock it. Now this is the height of the bag. Next place of your bag. Now we're going to find the depths, which is 13.3. So in this case, I'm going to do my manual guideline. So just do a line tool. This one is aligned to all you can do. A pen tool doesn't matter. Okay? So this is 18 point to a which is too long, we need it. So take 0.3 centimeter. So that's how why the side of your bag is going to be. Alright. We're gonna do a t seem right here. Tc. I could do I like this, okay? And then I can actually lock, kinda zoom in so we can see if it's intersecting was the anchor point. Okay. If you do go to View Snap to Point, you drive this guideline is just snap it to that point automatically, which is stillness or lock it, Command, hold it, plus two. There we go. Alright. So now a TC, basically it looks like this. Use a pen tool here. And I don't really know how wide the top width of the gas is going to be. So I'm going to use my better judgment. I'm gonna give a two. If you look at those bags, it's about that. So let's make sure these two guidelines are centered. So I just centered it. Now, use the pen tool, the hotkey for that is P, as in pen tool literally. Then I made a mistake, sorry to zoom in. I'm supposed to this down there we go. Intersect because that's how height. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That is your sign. A triangle or a trapezoid really bought. It looks horrible and ugly because they're looking at these sharp corners. They don't exist. Remember? So what we're gonna do is fix the corners. So use this wide Direct Selection tool. And the hotkey for that is a, and let's select this anchor. And then the double so-called will show up. You click on the double circle, the corners, show up and then that's 211. Seems pretty drastic. Let's do 0.5. Still two dresses you apply three, okay? Now we're talking, what about zero find true. Okay, so that looks better. We'll do the same dress selection tool, select a double circles, go to corner. Now at this point you will be like, hey Stella, but then it's not really touching a, you're losing the depths you right? So what you do is select all, just drag it so that it touches the guideline. Perfect. I'm even larger, create a slight corner here. One. There we go. So it looks more realistic in real life. Okay? Uh, take Gaza. Well, have a center in sync. So you sold the front and the back panel from the inside out. After you finish sewing together, you turn it over. Right? And then GST, it's a TCP. So which means that there will be this a little at the bottom. Oh my goodness, my freehand is so ugly today. My apologies. Okay. So it will look like that. Don't know what a T C or T bottom construction is. Or if you'd have zero idea about handbag construction, highly recommend you to look at my other class where I talk about the handbag anatomy. And honestly, if you have some old bags, just cut it open and see how sewn together. So very quickly, I just want to freehand this is going to look for, as you know, I'm not going to France. So when you have a T Gaza bottom, it literally means this. Okay, just give me a second. So this is a T bottom T bottom construction. This is how the flat pattern will look like. Okay. This whole thing is this whole thing. This whole thing is this whole thing. So this part with let's say this is the front panel you saw with the system back panel, the bad parvo here. So you saw this, this together, you saw this and this together. And this little square part is to T-shape. So you will fold this bottom panel inward. And then you will so this edge together to create this funny little fold that you are seeing here. So in a nutshell, the pattern, the two flat pattern pieces basically will make a back that looks like this. Now, watch my other video about the handbag anatomy to learn more. But what I'm trying to say is that when we create a concept cat, which will then lead to a technical tech pack, which will then lead to a pattern be created when a pattern maker looks at a concept cat like this, they know, oh, okay, So this is a T bottom construction. This is how I create a bottom side. So one more time, you'd get, you know, you will get this top width. Top width, okay? Psi, psi. Let's say this is the front panel, this is a fat panel. You sold this side. Together with that psi, you create this insane on the side. This so-called master called the square cut. You sold this to that because so this two that, which will then create a bottom, was this funny little full. That's called a T bottom construction. Already dead. So that's not a point when doing this. It is the point actually. Next thing I want to show you is this thick. There we go. So we can see, usually when we do this side panel, we don't we don't draw the straps again because all the information you need for the strap is already done on the front and back panel, especially for flatworm. If your strap is actually cylindrical, has sickness or some sort of interesting embellishment, then that's when you need to draw the strap again. But some company they expect you choose. So what do you do fairly simple. You could just do Literally, Sorry, the line, line up and make us sick. How sick do you make it to be? The width, the fabric and the width of the lessor will usually keep it around 0.20, 250 until a. And this is a representation of the side view of a strap. And now you're done with the side. Usually for concept cat, we only do from backside. Sometimes we do three-quarter view. But in this case, this is good enough. So we're done with this bag. Yay. 5. Tote 2 Tutorial: Okay, Let's do back number two. But let's clean up the workstation first. Very important. So let's go to Object Unlock All. Now, do you see what happened to the guidelines? Now they're movable. Just delete them. Delete them. We don't need anything more than that. Now we need another art board for bad number two. So you can go to art board panel if you don't have that panel for some reason, go to Windows and go to visual art board is selected. If you deselect, it disappears. So Mesha, There we go. So just go here, see this plus sign, just add an art board, then you're done. Now, this is a cell reference image. Let me also just concept cat. I mean, actually Jonas TO one concept is very important as you work. You also stay very organized. Your label, everything so you don't get confused. If your goal is to become a full-time professional handbag designer, you probably will be working on, Who knows I 1020 bags at a time. So staying organized, this is extremely important. So the notes I got for this particular shopper bag, let's say pocket only on one side. Okay, So we're talking about this big pocket. Full leather strap is about Canvas backing. Okay. So this is fall as a strap, Canvas backing. Okay. I could do that. Inner lip was fresh logo like okay, so this is, we call this actually the zipper bridge is not so much in inner loop. So a lot of times you will work with people whose expertise is nine handbags and that's totally fine. You just had to do a bit of a deciphering and ask the right question. So this is actually the zipper bridge, okay, So they want to add their own logo. Should be large age. So again, in this particular concept cat, I will create a time for you to add the logo. Just see how big the logo can get before we run out of space. And the logo looks size is, it's like a D boss, a blind foil, Debussy. So yeah. Now another thing I remember was when they said the size or back 2.1 are about the same. So I'm gonna come over here. And then I'm going to make this big so I can see what is size 0. And then I deleted that bounding box. Oops, my bad. The strap is definitely a lot longer than the 30, 1 cm we've been working with. So this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to copy this, paste it here. I am going to delete the straps. And then I'm going to duplicate this right out of the bag. I'm going to enlarge this. So at least height wise is all the same. Now use the guideline. I'm going to speed up a little bit as I work because a lot of the steps I'm doing now will just be a repeat. Okay? So when you have two bags and your client tells you they want it relatively the same size, but clearly the shapes are completely different. This is when you really have to use your judgment call and then have to open up the dialogue with your customers so then you keep them informed. This is clearly a east, west TO this is a North South taught. So what I'm going to try to get is at least the top with relatively the same. So I'm just eyeing it. I'm overlapping. Okay. So right about that. I actually think this is going to be a pretty good size. I don t think I'll make it any bigger or smaller because most people carried north-south toe to really put stuff in it. That's why this is called shopper toe. So if I were to make this tow, let's say trying to fit the height just like that east-west one, or trying to match the width, it might be too big. So I'm actually like this. And then I'm going to figure out what's the size of this and have a conversation with my client to see if that makes sense to you. No matter what I do the height of this TO will always be longer than that toe and they they kind of need to understand that. Oh, I wonder if I were to match the top width to 28 centimeter. How large would the top be? Too big? So I'm just matching the top with us. Ginormous 20 a tiny a. Think about this at this point, because. Shape is not the same. And I'm trying to match the top width of this toe to this east-west tote. I don't know if this toe is gonna be way too big compared to that toe. So the next best thing you should do as a professional designer as you trace a fair quickly, which is what I'm doing now, okay? And make sure you select this. And there's a reason why I'm doing this. I will explain in a moment. You see how the toe is not evenly drawn perfectly. I mean, photograph perfectly. I meant okay. So let's just close to talk close to bottom. Okay. So let's just drag it out a little bit longer. So let's see what's the size of this? 28.2 is too big. Let's make a Tony, hey, by 23.28, 23.4. Okay, now you can't really see me through the screen, but pick up your measuring tape. Now let's look at 28 centimeter top width. In this case, the bottom is about the, say, 28 and the height is 23.4. 23.4. This is actually a pretty good medium-sized, sharper tone. So I am actually going to keep it because n is smaller than this, it will be kinda hard to put a magazine in a better way, a top light. This is also called magazine TO, it's funny how I literally just mentioned magazine. I'm going to keep the sizes this and I'm going to have a conversation with a client and then we'll go from there. So I just very quickly trace the silhouette. Next thing I need to do, let me just line it up properly. And let's also fix the corners because the corners are a little bit too sharp, which I don't like. That. I don't want oh, no, I didn't want them to. So a lot of these is as you're designing your thinking through the whole process, you're evaluating the size, you're making sure the proportions right? You also think about the function of this particular design. If you don't do this full size, That's when you run into trouble because you didn't go through any of these mental exercises. You're not avoiding problems. You're actually leaving the problems to come help you during the technical spec in development process. Alright, so let's read this again. Shape is about shape as above. Pocket only on one side, only on the front of the bag. Folded the strap. Okay, pretty much as that. Alright, cool. So I'm going to lock this reference photo. I'm going to make us sick so I can actually see what I'm doing. Alright? So the first thing it looks like, okay, So the packet goes all the way down. Perfect, so I'm literally just going to trace it because this is already, the reference image is already scaled full-size. So I can literally trace it as is. I don't have to do anything. Don't worry about this fabric. You know, kinda like tapering, drooping downward. When we cut the pattern will straight. And I will just let the weight of the fabric to drag it down naturally, unless you purposely wanted to cut a draping shape, then that's when you had to redraw the size of the top of the pocket to create a curve. But in our case, we're not doing that. Now the first thing I would like to do is fill this up so you can see the pocket. Pocket goes all the way to the bottom. And I do apologize for how pixelated images when I scaled it up, but it looks like the pocket has a role edge to us. Okay, So this is how you create a row edge. First, direct selection tool, select this corner. So 0.2 is too little. Let's do this. Might be too big. Let's do 0.5. Perfect. Let's do the same here. And then let's do this. One's quite true because like I said, there's no such thing as a straight edge when it, when it comes to sewing fabrics, leathers. So now you have created a little roll. Next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna go to Path, Offset Path at the top stitch and negative one. Yes. Perfect. And remember you can do eye dropper. I'm going fast now because I'm literally repeating everything that we just did with total number one. I deleted that because when you roll the die, your stitch line will go with it. So much just make him around. So when I experienced Pattern, Make a look at this. They know exactly they know exactly how to sell this pocket. This is a patch pocket because it's like a patch. And then the bottom row with the create that depth. Uh, so it onto the front panel, not before I felt this. Let's do the strap. Okay. So I just want to do my due diligence to see when I scaled up this top image, how why does the strap now? Why does that? I totally dismiss this. 2.82, 0.1. Let's make it three. That's totally make it three. Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to lock this so it's not connecting with my points when I draw. So literally at this point you just go ahead and do a straight line and then just trace as wide as you can. Know. This a little angle as bad. So I'm gonna just Oh, I caught up by accident. No. Daily goal. Now that's more like it. Also select this circle. There we go. Round that off. Close it, close it. J. Alright, so I'm going to duplicate, which is hold down your Option drag, drop and then press 0, which is mirror, knowing all flip around. And then okay, I can see this size a little bit taller than that strap, so I'm going to line it up, select both. And this little lightning tool will show up. Align Tool, sorry, not aligning align tool. And then let's add a line at the bottom. There we go. Remember what I said? It doesn't look like. There we go. The spread is enough. So now you have a tiny little gap. What do you do? Easy. Let's do flip side the strap and close it up. There we go. I just elongate a line to the center to close up that gap there. No one is the wiser. Yeah. Let me delete this. I locked it. Okay. I'll delete that later. After I unlock everything. At this point, I don't need a reference images, so I'm going to fill up the bag. Now let's do stitch lines. Select all Object Path, Offset, Path measure is negative 0.25. So the path shows up on the inside versus the outside of your selected object. Now the first thing I'm going to do is press C is caught. I'm going to cut open all the anchor points here. Here. Here. Well, actually, my bad, I forgot how this is. They don't have a box stitch. I don't know if you can see that, but okay. I still kept this open. When you have work on this for years, it's like you can actually look at the pixel later image and you know how to interpret it. So it will come just with lots of practice, you'll get there. Alright, so let's go close this up because it's distracting me. Now, I'm going to select all the stitch line that's on the inside of the strap. And then do a select I, which is the eyedropper tool I as in the letter i. Now we know. Now we just had to fix it. Remember, we talked about illustrator is really smart way back when and when I first started. I don't even think there was the Offset Path Tool, so I literally had to do all the stitch line by hand. And let's just say, I'm so grateful. The city has updated. Yeah. Sorry. Now, you know, I've been around enough of that. Let's come over here. Now. Let's unlock, object, unlock all so I can get rid of that little guiding line. Not me. Also select. Nfl does build up the straps. They get sicker. Now you can really see it. Let's do the box stitch. So the way you do backstitch, how big do you want it to be on? Let's do. We Can I just 1.5 is pretty good. Then let's just do an eyedropper. Just do it. And then it's literally do a cross. We go. Okay, we'll do the same over here. Make sure we use a ruler to make sure we know where it starts. So it starts right here. Right hands just go to the corner. Go to the corner. And I see that this one's a little bit too long, so much spring back. You have your front view. Now let's do it, the backfill and also delete this. Okay, so this is show from, I'm going to grow the system back. We're gonna be working on. So it says, let me see. Pocket only on one side. It looks like it's gonna be the France. So let's delete it and done. But not quite. Because remember, this actually finishes. Like that. Needs to go. If you look at any bags you have that has backstitch. Look at how it's done and you'll see why I'm doing this. There we go. This is your backside. That's also okay. Now I'm gonna make this smaller so I have more space. So the next two views we had to do, let me do the top view first because you have not seen it. Oh my goodness, I have not saved any of this. This is quite dangerous. So let's just save it. I'm saving this on my desktop. You should do always save, just in case anything crashes. You don't want to cry over it, you really don't. Okay, So the next thing we're gonna do is we're going to show this blind DeVos of logo on the zipper edge. So the first thing we are going to do is we had to evaluate how y is the top opening gonna be. We know the length is fine here to here. How, why? So in order to find out, we had to look at how wide the bottom depths actually is, in our case is 13 by three. So I'm going to borrow this. I'm going to drag it here, which just let me select so I can drag. I'm not going to even take the strap because there's no ray. So you can see almost immediately a line at the bottom. Lock it. Alright. Select all and then line it up. Okay, cool. Okay. So right off the back, this is 13.3, which we established was bag number one, and the height is nine. So what I would do is I am going to drag, I'm going to cut this. I'm going to delete the top part. So I have this line free and this line free. And now what I'm going to do is drag it up to match the top height. It's not really aligning with this one thing while I go Lockett. Okay, Oh, it is a line. Alright, so if this bag, because I can see what's happening on the side because there are no pictures to show me what's happening on the side. If this bag, the top and the bottom depths are both searching pi3, it will look like this. But because I can't see it, I can only use my best judgment. So look how your toe how does that really look like? I know for sure I had to have enough depths for me to add two pieces of the zipper bridge. So maybe instead of searching 0.3 on the top, maybe I'll scale it down just enough for me to add the zipper bridge. So what would that be? Now, look at your measuring tape and see a number that makes sense to you. I think I might do ten, actually. Ten, yeah, let's do ten. There's no right or wrong. What does top depths is going to be. It just has to look proportional and it has to be able to fit a functional zipper bridge and zipper tape. So let me just do this so I can see, let's do ten. Perfect. Oh, let me just make sure this is actually because I grew up so I can actually center align everything. Now this is center. Next thing I need to do is bring this sound touching the height of that guideline. And then there, join the points, the anchor points. So select the two points. Command, hold it down plus J. Command J. Now move this, select the silhouette, move it to the back. Okay, and then you just have to elongate this insane so it doesn't look like it's floating the middle of nowhere. Okay. So that is dumped. Oh, one thing I also realized I did not add is this. You just say this stitch line which is further from the edge. So usually when that happens it's about 1 cm. It's like a pretty standard with so I'm gonna go with 1 cm on until they tell me no, that's we want it to be closer or further away. And that's totally cool. So what I did was I just double-click to tie-ins to get into the group TO and isolate the front. And let me just do it. I mean, just, I drop this. There we go and make sure you laid down. Alrighty. Alrighty. Okay. Let's do exactly the same. You can just leave Up to go. Immediately. I noticed something it's crossing over the strap. So what you do is drag, select all the strap. Alright? And then right-click, arrange, bring to front and on the snow. I'm also going to group the strap buy-sell. So Rebecca, There we go. Alright, so this is done. Next thing I need to figure out. Oh, before that, I also need to add this to that because it goes all the way, right? So now I can just align it. You see how easy it is once you draw everything full-size. It's automatic. You don't have to measure obsessively while I do it no matter what, but you don't have to keep doing it because they already set everything up. Okay, so now we establish the top. Update this. So 28 centimeter, top width, right? I mean, just arrange. Pop with time. 23.3. Hi, I'm searching 0.3 depths and then the drop is the drop. Yeah. Use the line tool, top edge of the bag all the way to top edge, bottom edge of the strap. And this is 20 point for a, I'm going to round that up to 25. 25, 25 dropped one. Perfect. Now we established the top depths. Ten. Bottom remains Searching 0.3, so it's gonna be here. Therefore, when we create this top view, it's going to look like this. Let's use a rounded rectangle tool. I sit out a line, drag a line. Okay, So if you press, hold, hold, press and hold your arrow key up. And now you press the up key, the arrow key, it rounded up the corner more and more and more and more and more. So I'm going to start right there. I'm also going to do this line felt. So now I had to make sure this is definitely 28 centimeter long. But in terms of the the depths, it should be ten, like we talked about before. So now this is actually the top view of this. You can make the smaller or larger, doesn't matter. I can talk with a client to see if they want it to be more narrow or even wider than that. So it's up to you, but this will get the conversation started. So the next thing we need to do is we need to create a zipper track. Usually a zipper tape. Depending on how large the bag is, it can go anywhere from 1 cm to two centimeter events, three centimeter y. So in this case, how wide this is about to, you know what? Let's keep it too. Yeah. Let's center this. So select both Center or fit. If you have seen any bags with this type of a zipper bridge designed, a zipper tape is very low. So let's do that to align to the left side. There we go. How long is this now? The total length 37.8. Nice to hear. I would like to give it a whole number. So the first thing I would do is not the shape. Let me select this. I will come to the grid, goes to transform and lock the left side because I don't want this to move. I only want the tail to move in. A tail is on the right side. So let me bring this down to, let's say 37. There we go. Oh, my apologies. Do not lock dimension, your proportion. I want the height, in this case, the width of the zipper tape still to react to centimeter. So I don't want to change that. I just want the total lengths to be changed. It's 37. Okay, perfect. So now what, what do we do next? Very simple. You need to draw. You'll branch. So the branch basically is the piece of panel. This panel, It's also called color. You add to catch the zipper tape itself. So here's your tape, Here's your branch. So how wide is this? Let's start here. This is actually maybe it's 3.7 on each rule. I want us to catch the beginning of this. And now I want us to go all the way to the end of the bag opening. So immediately you will ask me, this is not around there. Is enough. Come here. Around the corner. I think it was three. Yeah. I think it was three. Definitely three. Do the same over here. Okay, so just direct selection tool click on the double circles, change your corners to three. And then in this case, let's add the Path, Offset Path, the stitch line first. So I don't have to get myself confused is that it looks a little bit different, so let's just drop it. There we go. Alright, so this is bird's-eye view. Now you're looking from the top down at your bag. Alright. You see why the problem is? I know what a problem is. Let me just show you what just happened. I drew the zipper bridge and I realized, wait a minute, when I catch the zipper tape, There's a gap here. What's going on? Well, this is what happened when you did not do center line. Center alignment is very important. You have to select these. Stay with all centralized, see what happened. It wasn't the zipper tape was neither in the center. So when I drew the zipper bridge, it was the wrong width. There we go. So now I sent her a lot. Yeah, it happens. You had to catch yourself and it's totally fine as part of the process. Yeah. So my corners or wrong basically. So let me redo this. Just use a regular rectangle, match the height and the total length. Well the bag. And then just make sure when you go to corners. Three. There we go. Sorry, there we go. And then we'll just do the Object Path, Offset Path to add the top stitch. And then we'll just eyedrop this there. We just fix the problem. Now, group it and then duplicate, which is hold down your Option and drag. And then let's do I've just press E. E basically just means a free transform tool, but it also gives you a rotation. I'm just rotating this. So e as in the letter E. Let me show this is okay. So let's get rid of this. We need to add the zipper track. So here is a tiny zipper track that I have. If you look at your assignments box, there should be a free downloadable file for you with lots of zipper oxygens in it. But this is the most generic one. It will show up under your brush because it is a brush. And all you have to do is just draw a straight line. May show Center, and then click on the brush. It looks tiny, so let us. There we go. There you have it. Now the one last thing you need to do is this. You had to close up the zipper tape. If you look at any of your bags that has a zipper tail like this, you'll notice that there's a piece of leather that is added to finish up the zipper. So we're going to do exactly that. So let's see how wide is this. Let's just make a happy little two-by-two centimeters square. There we go. There we go. Let's just measure. We add our stitch line. What happened to Object Path, Offset Path. Alright, and I made sure this is caught like this. Perfect. Now this is your top view. But let's not forget the whole point of us doing that is because we need to determine how large the logo can actually go on here because it says the inner live with fresh logo like Clarence image should be large. Ish. Okay. Since I never got the logo, what I wanted to do is do a logo placement. I'm going to type logo there literally. And then I'm actually going to use some sort of serif fonts, so it looks more ornate and I forgot to select that. 2222. Looks fine. Okay. So clearly that's huge. This is at 7.42 pi. I have never seen anyone's local that huge before. So let's lock the proportion and let us bring this down. You know what, let me just type fresh. I think our goal, so it's more realistic. And now let's do, okay, does this when you need your measuring tape again in real life, Let's just look, I think six centimeter in length is actually six. Okay, let's link this because it looks a little bit too tall. So I will suggest to them, try to keep your logo with a two by 66 by two. So six centimeter in length and two centimeter in height. So I will just not catching the oldest, right? Because now I go, I'm going to center the logo. Okay. So center it, see it's not center. In case you didn't notice. I did not select the zipper tape. I only selected the opening and center it. This is Nyman centric. We go. Now it's perfect. So let's go over here a little bit. If I selected the zipper tail than the center of this entire tail will be way off. So that's the reason why I only selected the opening. Now, let's do that and let's go pass. This bag is done. So you have the front, back side and the top view. Again, like I said, we need to be very organized. So let me copy and paste data from psi. Here we go. Then this is the top. Then let's actually delete this. Put this down here as a reference image, and let's unlock the guidelines so that not in no way and safe. 6. Tote 3 Tutorial: Next, bag number three is this beautiful woven straw back. So let's do exactly the same thing. Let's add another artboard. It's very close to the edge now. So what I'm actually going to do is Document Setup, Edit R4, drag it down. You see what happens when I drag it. All the images on the art board. Basically, move, just swell because I selected the symbol. Move copy artwork with artboard. If you deselect it, you just drag the r bar, the images will stay where it's at. So let's just select this symbol again and drag it and line it up. Right here. There is really no standardized way of where you want to put the art board. So it's totally up to you. I like to keep it here just so that I could see the other two bags very clearly right above me by some people like to work at sideways, horizontally. I have seen people working only vertically. So it's up to you how you'd like to work. There we go. Oops, sorry. Okay. So because this is our third bag now, I'm literally repeating everything I've just shown you. So I'm just going to really speed through the whole process. I will only call out certain points that I have not done before in the previous two bags. So let's get this. Baby started saying bag as picture was saying materials, paul, new straw and full leather. Alright, so sorry if I see I'm taller, 55. Alright. So I don't really think I need to see the website, but shifts and giggles. Let's just do it. Oh, hey, activate later. Sorry. Yeah, it doesn't really give me any more information than what is already there. So here's the thing about straw bags. It's a woven together by hand. And there's a very specific way and pattern to straws can be woven together. And usually as a designer, it is not all place to tell the weaver how to do it because we don't know they do. And so what we would do is that for the concept, we were literally just create a silhouette. And then we'll indicate that this is actually a straw bag. And then in terms of the patterns, we can cut reference photos for the weavers to see in terms of actually how to weave it honestly, when no clue. Unless we're trying as a waiver, which one? So yeah, so that's just my $0.02 right there. So I'm just gonna go ahead and undo this. 55 cm. Tom's top means top width. Height is 35. Okay? So this is actually a good exercise for you to see how we make judgment calls. Obviously, this is the upside-down trapezoid. The top is wider than the bottom. So this is what I'm looking at. Top is 50, 55. So I feel like has to be a lot smaller. Considering the shape, how much tapering There is going on from what I can see, I'm going to try a couple of adjustments to see which one makes most sense visually. So that's 32.5. So I also use draw a guideline. Oh, sorry, my apologies. Draw a guideline. So 2.5 and just center both center alignment. There we go. It looks a bit tiny in terms of the bottom with let's make a 35. Oh, sorry, you see what happened? I have the left side side locks, so let me lock the center so that the line works then on both sides versus just one side. There we go. Then because I'm paranoid, I always sent her alive again. Now, let's select this corner. Let your students and see. Okay. Okay, alright, so let's go back to, is there like a front image? No. Everything's slightly slanted. I was hoping that I can get like a full frontal image. This might be the closest. Really. See if I get the tapering proportion right? Maybe 32 is right. 32, there we go. Yeah. Things like this. You just have to I it unless you're able to get your hands on a actual sample. Okay. Now I feel like, so what I'm looking at is I'm comparing this visual image and looking at a slant. I think this is more like it. Okay, cool. Alright, next thing I'm going to do, again, round off the corners. You should know the drill by now. I will not even add any stitch line on the body silhouette because this is weaving. There's no stitch line on the only stitch par will be the straps. So when we get there, we'll have a full conversation about it. Okay. Actually, you see how this is like around like an oval bottom. So I feel like my corners are not round and numbness tried to three, there we go. Some companies don't care about corners at all. But remember, you are creating this as a concept cat that will have colors, textures, everything added for people to discuss if this is a right bag to go forward with. So I always like to suggest to people that it will be great if you can mimic if there's a reference image, if now a reference bag as closely as possible and make the drawing as realistic as possible. Because a lot of people merged sales production t. Now everyone's a visual person like a designer. Sometimes they really had to see things. So realistic drawing in front of them to actually get it If I may be perfectly honest. So yeah. Okay. I'm liking it. So the next thing I need to figure out is, what about the strap? Do we even have that information? I want to say probably not because it wasn't even written in an e-mail back. Oh, we did get the depths. This is good. So this is 7.5 depth. Size large. That's helpful. Is helpful. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna just go by my experience. Let's just put this here. I need to make the art board larger to accommodate for the straps. Because it's got that most straps. I actually don't need this anymore. Oh kiddos. So what am I looking at? Let's come back to this. Okay, So, oh, oh, wow, that's interesting. Oh, they literally just stitch it up like that. That's cool. Okay. So I'm going to take a close up image of this. So I remember going to take, you know, what one is enough. I'm going to drag the screenshot over here. I can see exactly how it's done. Alright, so this is when you have to use your own judgment call. But let's get the spread first and then a draw for. So there are two handles. One is very small, as you can see, just by in proportion to the hand. It's probably only the drop is probably long enough for the hand to go through, not over your shoulder. Then there's a second strap that's definitely a shoulder strap with no adjustability. I don't see any buckles, I don't see anything. Then the common, I gotta send the same bag as pictured. Okay, so that means I had to design a straps as they are as seen on the reference images. So now this is actually a good lesson on finding the dimension on the strap. I like to start with a spread. So let ours centered this. Right now I just randomly draw a line. The spread is 19. Let's make it, let me see in proportion to the hand. And so women's hands, so it should be about a sad smile, slightly bigger because my hand is quite small. And then take out your why do you call it a measuring tape and take a look at this nitrogen makes sense. Then next thing you need to look at is on the image, is why, like what? What's the spread in proportion to the top width? It looks a little bit narrow, to be honest. So 19 might be to why? Yeah, 19 is definitely to why? I might ask you tone it down to 15 or 16. Let's try 15. So 15. Yeah, because think about it. If you do 15 here, remember it has a secondary shoulder strap on the outside of the the top handle strap. So I may even tone it down to 12, to be honest, because we're measuring from the center of the strap nut at, from the edge. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna do center. I know Center, but I'm just paranoid and, you know, I'm paranoid at this point. Then one-twelfth maybe to little my apologies. Let's do 13. Lock everything. So I just select it and lock everything. The next thing you need to establish is how far down do you want to anchor to be? So what does the anchor? This is the anchor where the attachment begins life from the top edge all the way back to where it starts. So it's up to you. I'm going to itis looking at let's say, how far down when I do this. Right now, 6.7 looks a bit too far down. Oh, sorry. I should walk the top because I don't want to talk to yeah, I think five is good. Let's do 4.5. Okay. So I'm going to actually use a guideline does ties, so I differentiate that from my drawing. All these black client is going to get me confused eventually. Just make sure Snap to Point. If you don't know, just zoom in and zooming is hold down command and then do the plus or plus signs. Just keep pressing the plus sign repeatedly and then you'll zoom on away. Then let me just unlock all and then get rid of this men manual guideline is what I call in it. Let me lock the body again. Right. So it looks like a pretty long looks like a three centimeter or longer anchor. So let's just how long is that? 04. Okay, for? I don't want to round yet. Mistake my par center like that. Come down. And then when the handle or strap is just handheld, it's not going to go onto your shoulder. You can afford to have the drop like about three or 4 ". So that's about between a centimeter to ten centimeter. So in our case, I'm going to try a ten centimeter first and see if proportionally matches back to the image more. Now, lock the bottom of the grids so it doesn't extend to the bottom. I only want the top to go. So now it's had 12 is too high up. Let's bring it down to ten. Okay. Then I felt like there should be no wow, it's funny. Sometimes I come up with the numbers that work if the first time I am not changing it and they didn't work. Let's try my apologies. 12. And then let's use this guideline and then zoom in. Just touching the edge. Yeah, there we go. Okay, I'll click OK. So lot EIS also may show wave fine. Whereas the central office. So the thing about drawing full sizes, it looks very redundant, labor-intensive, it really is. But that's because you're going through the entire mentor and design exercises to root out, well, first of all, discover all the potential problems in terms of construction proportion everything, and then literally double-checking, triple checking everything before you go into developing that tip has to be sent to the factory. If you go to the video that talks about why do we use it a tap pack. The advantages. I actually explain the problem when you don't draw foci at full size value. So definitely check out that video. Okay, so I just cut open the top. I got rid of it because so that I can extend it. Okay. So I liked that arch. I'm just going to leave it there. I'm gonna do okay. It's a fast straps, so that's fine. So I want to just duplicate mirror case. You haven't noticed. You can do it both ways. Right, right to left, doesn't matter. Top-down came and do that. Make sure this is centered. Centered. Make sure again, I'm paranoid. Make sure you align on top. Select both. Amazing. Okay. Okay. So I just did the shorter hand on the inside. And I just realized possibly made the, the spread of this smaller. I just totally realized. Interesting, let me say how wide is this first choke point to? They made that was what the problem is. Let's make this tool. I might be to y as to why things happens. And so we'll just redo it. It's not a big deal. I'm going to delete this. I'm going to unlock the guides. Because I realized that this spread, which we have as a way to y, Let's bring it down to 13, Let's bring it down to 12. We should bring it down to 11. Let's see. Yeah, let's bring it down to 11. So now I had to move this guy inward to the locket. See I'm already problem-solving. If I didn't draw this proportional, guess, what will happen? Things will come out looking gray until you, when you make a, you realize why, What's going on. Okay, so let's do this notion. I do 2.2 before, you know what? Let's do 2.2 when a strap is very narrow, actually hearts away. That's too fat. Doesn't make any sense. That's true. Shouldn't be like Oh, actually, yes, it makes sense. My apologies. Then let me just make sure I delete this was cut open the top, like what we've done before. I'm just thinking if that makes any sense. You know what? No, it does not. Something else I just noticed is how far down do I want the anchor to me? And I realize it's a little bit too far up when I look back at the reference image. So I'm going to lock the top. Do I want to go down to 77? Yeah, I think it's fine. Ok. Realize this this actually shows parenting kids so quick to step. Can get right on this and make sure you lock these again because it's a new marker. Dan. Hey, that's a little bit. And then I think she wants to open leather. You see how there's a letter doesn't really have any top stitch because I seem this is one single piece, maybe a cow hide that they just cut it as is. So if they're not bonding two pieces of center leathers together. But cow hike, it depends on what type you buy a can be quite expensive. So I'm just gonna go ahead and act stitching for the client unless she tells me she is using cow high and she doesn't want any top stitching. Again, that's another conversation. You should be happy. I'm sorry. I'm trying to find where exactly is my top stitch that I can copy. This is another reason why doing things full-size is so useful because as you are going sue it, drawing it out, you'll also encountering all sorts of problems that you can actually have a conversation with the rest of the team in events to try to fix it. I don't really know if she wants these. Hence stitching. So this is actually real hands stitching. It will add to the labor cost, not by a lot, but it is. Instead she goes No, you know, labor-intensive. So I'm gonna do a simple box stitch. Now I'm going to have another conversation with the client. And unless I'm gonna keep the box stitch until she tells me no, I really wanted us to be hence this. Then I will add that beautiful hence stitch. Look for her. Yeah. Summation this and that. I grouped them. Uh-huh. So let's go down a little. And then let's do the underside that you'll see. Are we getting a hang of this? It's pretty much the same process that we do for all the bags here. Honestly, I'm not even going to care about if it's like 0.25 centimeter away from the edge. Because at this point, no one measures that little on this. Anyways. So this is just representational, So it looks good on paper. And a pattern maker knows, you know what you're doing. Oh, here's another thing that I explained in how to draw a full-size tote video, that there are more brands than factories nowadays. So if you don't know what you're doing, it, it will show through on your concept cats and on your test packs. And when a factory receives doesn't matter concept cat or tech pack and looked at it, they will make a split-second decision if they want to take you on as a client or not. Because if you don't know what you're doing, if you can do the basics, then you're just wasting their time. They might as well go with someone who knows their stuff. And at this point, because there are more of us than them. So they are in demand. They have every right and they well, to drop you as a client if you don't send them a qualified professionally done cause a cat or alright, That's my $0.02 right there. Let me unlock all the guidelines. To object. Unlock all. Let me delete it. Let me actually group this whole thing and bring it down because I'm going to do the cross body strap. Now because this cross body, I do not see any buckles, so there is no adjustability. As a result, I had to find a flat drop links that show work for everybody. So the way you do, I wish I can show you it. Maybe I'll fill this later. Yeah. You know what? Let me do that. You look at the drop lanes by placing it on your shoulder and then bring it down to the side of your body. See what drop length actually feels comfortable. Comfortable. I liked the top of the bag to be kinda around my waist area. And I'm a small person. So I probably would do a 40 centimeter drop which is about 16 inch drop. Let's see. I may want to adjust it to 20 inch. So for now, let's lock the bottom 40 inch. And I just want to double check when I bring it to 20 inch drop, 50.8 centimeter. Now, use that 20 inch or 50.8 centimeter around your body and see if that's too high to low, just right. I'm gonna do 45 somewhere in the middle there. So 45 centimeter is about 17.7. Again, if you are designing for plus size brand or if your brand provides plus size sizes, You definitely had to find a happy number. If you work, obviously, for smaller boutiques that provide extra small sizes than this droplets can go down. So I'm going to take this to 45. And then how would I do this? Where's that image? So if you look at it, this is a line. The outer strap and the top handle strap is literally a line song being sung. One next to next, one next to each other. What am I talking about? So I'm going to do just that. They look like the same width too. Perfect. So I am going to lock, I'm going to zoom in again. It's hold down command and then just press the plus key. If you want to zoom out. It's the minus key. Snap Locke, Locke is come in plus two. Number two. Then I can, I need to center guideline locket. I'm gonna do it right here. No, I didn't catch it. Right here. Is that gap between the two? No, it's literally bought it. Okay. So I'm gonna do that too. She decided she wanted to be exactly the same as the image. Center pole, pole pulpal. Ok, that looks right now. I just made sure I need a colorist heart can see it. Then. It was what was it true? Oh, so close. You know what? That's too. And when that happens, just go from the other anchor. We go. There we go. All right. Now, that's awesome. Do that. Again. Yeah, I'm gonna do this until they tell me they need actual hand stitch, those decorative stitch lines that you see in the reference photo. For now, I'm just going to add the box stitch. Another reason why I'm doing a back stitch is because it sits well with this one. So this will become all these bags will become the same collection. But what she wants, I'll give it to her. I'll make her happy. Now, I'm grouping everything. Sorry, my mouse is acting up a little bit. You can't really select that group. Then. You should really know the hockey by now, I've been saying that for the last hour and a half. And it makes sure there's a line on top. And then, you know, the drill. Open, cut open so we can individually whereas the stitch line fixer visually. There we go. There we go. I drag it too low, so it looks kinda funny. We go. And then that's truly undoes. Yeah, feel free to skip through this part. And next time when you see a technical designer. Now you know why they all look kinda jaded, exhausted as well. We do day in and day out for hours and hours and hours, multiple bags at the same time. And so a lot of people asked me, why do we need to do this? If we have a pattern maker, again, I highly recommend you to go watch my other video where I talked about why do we need a handbag? Sorry. Why do we need we know why we need him. That's why do we need tech pack? Why is it important? How do we use it? What are the advantages? Just watch it, explains it. Friday, I think what done however, some people, you see how like there's a bit the weight of the straw is kinda making this side a little bit rounded. So a lot of times what I will do is after I get the shape, I kinda cut this open a little bit like that. I create. Let me just move. Let me group this. Let me slightly shift that line back. And then what I do is I create a very gentle curve. So visually it matches the reference image. A lot more. In tech pack development, I will not do that because I had to show the pattern maker that we're not cutting a curve here. It's just the way of the material weighing down the size. You know, it's gonna be a straight cut. I'm gonna do the same over here. Not all the company asks you to be so accurately representing an image. But it's always good that you know how to do this because it does open up a lot of door and a lot of oh, what's the word? I'm looking for a job options? Because not every designer is take the time to really figure out the details like that. One other designers who do then go for you. You won't be there. Consideration. Alright. So now it mimics this little roundedness of the straw back. So this is actually the front and the back because they didn't make any specific requests for the backside. So I just finished the front and the back. And the back. Back, let me just capitalize every thing. Alright. What I want do is creating the bottom because the bottom is oval. I can tell as oval because of the circular corner that I'm currently seeing here. So I remember it was said on the website. What is it? 7.5 depths. Okay. Go to your interests. A centimeter. Type 7.5. So that'll be 19 centimeter. Okay. So all you had to do, go to your Eclipse tool and just do that. Okay. The way I will match is the oval starch from right here or you know what, or you can even start right here. Right here. Now, the first thing we need to establish is to make sure that the depth is 19. So it's much more overly than what I had originally. And just tone it down. Usually it's an insane because that's how they waive it. So what I would do is I will do offset path. This time we're going to mention a line goes outward. So let's try 1 cm. Okay, that looks good. So what I actually just did is your bottom panel, this part actually goes from here all the way down to here. This outer line I just created is actually a visual few of this little corner of your front and back panel that you will see when you flip the bag apart. This front and back panel will connect to this bottom part by being woven together. I don't know. I think it's most likely from the inside out. I just Weaver from the outside. It really depends on the type of pattern we're talking about here. So I can't really tell at this point. Now the next thing I need to figure out is, is this a single wave? Yeah, it looks like I see there's no broken up in C. So I don't even need to do a style does decide, well actually I can do a side what the psi will literally look like this, like because there's no insane. And then I just need to round up the corners. That may actually. And I do the top. My apology, That's my kitty cat is bored because I've been doing this for hours now. Alright, so what was it? This one was 19. So this needs to be 19 at the bottom to right now is only 14.4. So yeah, so it really looks like that. And then we add this line to represent how long something I forgot. I need to make sure this is set. Bottom-line. Yes, it is. So this there we go. Let's make it thicker. So yeah. Let's also make this thicker. I just did. The bottom. Let me make the art board a little bit longer to accommodate for that side view. So back psi. And then you've got your bottom panel. And you're done. All righty then congrats, oh wait, we have one more little cosmetic back. 7. Cosmetic Pouch Tutorial: Welcome back again. So this is the last bag will be doing the little cosmetic pouch. So the size we have found is 24.8 by 1854. So I'm literally just going to create a rectangular box and go from there. So let's do this. Let me see 24.8. And then 18 point for men, I was way off. So good. So let's make this thicker so we can actually see what we're doing. And then the next thing we need to do is I just literally got a text message saying that this should have a T Gaza as well as insulin, insulin, insulin anymore, that's totally fine. So the first thing I want to do is one of the corners. We can actually know what let's do the bottom one. Yeah, perfect one. And in this regard, we can just keep the top like that. Then at this point I can kinda, I think so. I know where the stitch line needs to go. We go. Now. Usually when you have a pouch like this was a T Gaza, the top width is usually the width of the zipper tape. The bottom width will be a little bit wider, so it's a trapezoid shape. So now let's do that. So usually the top width, I will keep it about 1.5. Let me see. 1.5. Yeah, that should be good. So I've shown you before do a guideline to have to maybe two or more to why? What's this right now? This is 2.9, so about three. So let's make it three and let's make it 1.5. Oh wait, no. And then we need to center align people. Like That looks fine. So now let's make this around the corner because it's supposed to be. Why might reach Let's do this tour around. Oh, sorry my mistake. I was going to time 0.5. There we go. Now we're talking my fine. Yeah. And they're going down like and so I'm gonna do my little squiggly freehand. And that looks almost perfect. Yeah, I still got it. Alright, This is it. We are done. The front and the back is the same. 8. How To Add Material Swatches & Colors: So what's next? What's next is actually the fun part. A lot of the companies, they will look at these line drawings and they will say, well, I can't really picture it without the materials and the colors. So what we're gonna do is we are going to eye drop these core colors materials, these esophageal. And then plus the trendy body material, the horse hairs, one is in blue, are more like hobo, one is in the cornea color as well. So in the next video, the next class, actually, I will show you how to create a repeat swatch cards like these that you can use over here. But in this video, I'm just going to do very quick eyedropper tutorials, so then we can just fly through it. Now, the whole reason why we need to add colors and material, as you may have imagined by now, is because you had to show these concept cats to the rest of your team. I'm not just talking about the design team, I'm talking about the production team of PD, the sales team, the marketing team, how the bag will actually look like in font there you guys will have a meaningful conversation about what to change one not to change what to keep what to drop, so on and so forth. So let's get this started. So let's focus on this tote bag number one. The front and back is exactly the same. So that's why I'm only including one single view of it because it's the same depending on what type of trend we're talking about. Let's just say we want the strap to be our core colors. Let's do cognac. So let's select all and then click cognac. Okay, it looks quite nice. Now this is where you can have some fun. You can decide, do I want to show the sales team this cognac strap, soft piano strap is gonna go with the cornea horsehair, or is it going to go with the cobalt horse hair? So let's try this. Okay, I can see this happening. One thing I don't know if you noticed this, that once I've filled up the silhouette with the repeat a swatch, you can't really see the photos anymore. So what I will suggest is a select these lines and then come here and let's change it to a lighter color, like maybe not that more light gray. Let's do it. I was wondering why that wasn't showing up. Okay. Do it here or maybe we can select this gray and make it a really uniform. And what this does is you have to understand you, you're gonna show this to a lot of people who are not artists or who are not artistic. So if you end up having some sort of a line that means something disappearing on people, it can actually confuse people and they happens a lot. To us. This is kinda like a no-brainer, but to a non-autistic person, try to measure all the information you create. It does not get lost when you add colors and materials to it. Alright, so here is our little toe. It looks kinda cute. But let's say you are that super over achieving artists who thinks, wait too much or designer, I'm sorry. Let's give a different option. So another purpose or creating the concept cat is that we give a lot of options for this merge and the sales team to decide what option to actually go into production for me, what I'm doing now is I'm moving this to the side to create more room over here. And then let me zoom in and then duplicate. At this point, you should know what the hotkey for duplicate is, which is hold down option. Select the bag and drag. So let me change this to cobalt. Oh, sorry, I didn't realize I need to select a fill the body first. Okay. So cobalt. Yeah, it's not working because we want the body to be in cobol horsehair. The strap is kinda jarring. Now let's change it should TO, and just to see what happens, Does it look better? Doesn't that look better? It looks a lot better. So it's more tonal now. And just push it and giggles, what will happen if I also offer an option where we stick to this cognac horsehair body, but we changed the strap to. Okay, that's actually interesting. Now, we have three options that we can show it to. Your sales and merch table. Let me move this and then make more room because I wanted to add more option where let me drag this here. So this actually opens up a conversation between you and the rest of the company of all three styles, which one is more soluble and why? Which one will sit well together with the rest of the collection and y. But without doing the concept cat, you can't really have a meaningful conversation because you're literally asking people to imagine it. It's hard to trust me. Now the fourth option I like to offer is something a bit more classy. So instead of this slide TO trending color that's probably only going to last for season, maybe made this black. And see what happens. Did you see what happens when I made this black? All the stitch lines disappeared on me. So like what we did, I'm going to select a line, go away. I think this was the gray. I decide to use. There we go. Now you can see it. Again. I know this is kinda silly. Like why do I need to do this? Trust me, you will have to do this because you're not just talking to people who can figure things out aesthetically, okay? So now you have option 1234 and chances are you may go for it was only two options. First, one, whatever, depending on what your company is looking for and what the season is, and what a selling point is. So whichever select an option. And this may take multiple rounds of discussions, conversations we usually call this Product Design Review. Once you consult the Lassa, I want to go forward with this one. And this one, this is when you put this concept cat and this constant cap into the tub pack for this bag. I usually put it in page one. So I will show that later on so you can see the concept cap, put it in the tech pack is also for the factory to see what the finished look is supposed to look like. So like I said, this concept cap just like to tap back in the previous classes I've been teaching. Basically, it's a documentation, a data that goes beyond you, that lives beyond the design stage. It goes into production, it goes into sales, it goes into marketing. We even sent concept kept booklet. Sometimes we call it like a review book or pamphlet to the marketing team so they know what is coming and they will give you the input as well. So not bad, I actually kinda like it. Alright, so I'm just going to quickly finish up the rest, the remaining three styles. So let me just drag this here. Alright, and that point of the cons of cat is to show the rest of the company, like I said before, construction, how will the from the bag, the sign look why certain companies don't really care. They just want to see what we call the front face. This is the front face. And usually during the initial product review meeting. If this is a well-established company, the designers will be asked to actually print out each of these constant cow with color, with texture printed out up to scale. So pho size value and literally standing in front of everybody and do a presentation of it. And that's when people will literally whip up there markers and start adding, okay, maybe the top needs to be wider and then maybe the bottom needs to be narrower. So as more of a trapezoidal shape, blah, blah, blah. But again, this is where the conversation starts. That's my concept. Cat in full-size value is so important. So a lot of times, if this is a collection that's supposed to sit together, basically, it will, I will be using exactly the same color value, this color combo right here and here, here, here. And I will just apply to the next bag. But this to me when I got the directions, this is not supposed to be a collection. This is supposed to be individual one-off item that they will put on shelves. So I'm going to have something I'm a little bit. For instance, let's say I want to look for shifts and giggles. Let's do the body. Thank you for getting this. I'm sorry. Let's do the body in his cornea color. How wonderful. Why not made this? What do we call that a hot selling, kinda like a super fashion piece where I made the front pocket and the cobalt. Interesting. Now, what about the strap? Well, I have many options. Let's see, does the cornea the cornea definitely works because the TO work. Okay, actually the teal I personally feel like works better. The black will always work as a core color. The red, I don t know, not so much unless you want to go color block because it is very colored block. But for now, let us put it Cognac and make sure, because the cobol is so dark, always make sure whatever line that disappears into that darkness goes into the darkness. I'm just going to eye drop. I'm sorry. This light gray. So now you can see the stitch line showing through. And obviously the backside of this combination will look like this. Okay, so some people asked me what happens if I find a soft piano to be too like the graininess of the Saviour, this texture to either too large or too small. So what you do is you use the Y arrow, you select this trap where the soft piano swatch card is used. You right-click. Go to transform, you go to scale. Okay? So the value that we set this at, the way you see how large it is now is set at 100%. This is just automate default setting. Illustrator has. The first thing I want you to do is uncheck Transform objects because we're not trying to reset the scale of the size of the strap. We're only trying to reset the scale, the size of the repeat patterns. So we made sure the transform patterns is selected. Scale corners, scale strokes and effect leave them as they are. So now, let's say you feel like the soft Nano texture is too small. Let's make a bigger, alright, let's do 150 so you can really see it or friends, you'll have well, nothing happened. Yeah, well, do the preview uncheck. They just sit up and check it again. But the first thing that happened is because I did have the scale stroke effects selected. You see how the stroke line got really sick because it also went up 50 per cent. So if I unselect that, there we go. And let's just say this is how we want it. Okay, so let's click. Okay. Let's say you show this to your boss and your boss say, this side looks more realistic. That's how it looks, kinda faking out of proportion compared to the rest of the bag. It looks more like an elephant texture versus soft piano texture. Can you dislike? Make it smaller again? So then you go Back, Select the object, right-click Transform Scale. And let's go back to 100 and see what happens. Did you see what just happened? It didn't go back to that size. Why did it not go back to stack size? Because every time when you reset this, Let's say, Where do you made this 50% bigger? And then when you open it up, this size now the 50% bigger sizes of reset as the Hundred percent. So the only way for you to bring this back down to that size is you have to minus another 50. See if this works. Okay, It's a little bit too small. That's interesting. So this is the part that gets a little bit okay, that looks about right. This is the part that looks at that is a little bit tricky now. So every time when you make it bigger or smaller, when you open up the scale browser again, it will basically reset that enlarge or decreased size as 100% again. So then you had to sink that. Okay, if I want to make it go back to the original is literally 100% -50% -40%. But as you have seen just now, even what I know, I literally just went off 50 per cent, so I use 100% -50. The texture itself actually was a lot smaller than this size. So that's a reason why you kinda had to fiddle with it. I added another ten per cent, so you only went down 40%. Now, 100 -16 is 40, went down 40 per cent. Then now you can see that the texture is still a little bit too small. So let's go up. Okay, now we're talking about this is more along the same line. So just play around with it and then you will get it as kinda clunky in the sense, but it's just one of the things you have to get used to it. Now the psi, we know this is just a front and back panel sewn together doing a T gossip construction. So it's the same material. All right, so this is actually your concept cat color combo. Number one for this top, like I said, you can create multiple color combinations and see how your boss or and the rest of the team respond to it. I'm just selecting. All. There we go. Let me go. Let's say, let's switch it back there from as this. And then let's say the merge merchandising team or the PD team comes back and tells you this is way too expensive. We can't afford two different kinds, two different types of horse hair on the same bag. So you being a Studios designer, you say, Okay, fine. And I'll just change it back to you guys liked us know. Okay. Let's do this. Okay. Maybe you'll live with it. No. Okay. Fine. I'll go back to this and people that okay, I love it. So each concept can you create for one single style will literally go through rounds and rounds of revisions. For people to figure out the pricing, for people to figure out the feasibility of making it, and how it will look at how it will sit with the rest of the collection. So lastly, you know what, let us do this little baby actually. So let's say the front. You want to do this horse hair. So people get their money's worth. And let's say some amazing person in your team said, Well, Stella, I mean, this is kinda like a novelty item. We want to sell it as a novelty item. Can you make the backside? I thought that's a great link to symbol, which I will talk about in a moment. Can we make the backside over different horse hair colors so that it's almost like a what would you call this? Like a a two tone back and you're like, sure, no problem. But then let's just say we're gonna go to, you know, let's say we'll go with the Konya. But then very quickly you realize, Oh, no, the front is correct, the back is correct, but the Psi is not correct. If this side is the front, the backside supposed to be cobalt, what do you do? Again, this is when you have to go into the revision though. Let's just made this into an enclosed object and then make it hello blue. And then let's just make sure we give it a nice corner. I forgot what the corner that out there we go. 0.5. Perfect. That's it. Animation will bring up this little foes so people can see it because it's so dark. So let's change it to that. There we go. So people can see as saying with that. Now, that looks kinda cool. So yes. Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, I did add the zipper polar design. This, the hardware design will be another class that will come after how the how to create a repeat swatch class. Actually expected of a designer, a handbag designer to know how to do hardware. Now it's always a plus. And so yeah, so this is a company sino, we'll come back to it in the next class. But for now, just know that you will learn how to create hardware pieces up to scale as well. Alright, yeah. So let's say there's a combo one, then you'll do another combo too. I'm just going to fly through this. People were saying that this will be a novelty item that will come up that we will promote during holiday seasons. And let's say for this one, it will be my mother statement to say let's make it red in the body and slightly cheaper because horsehair costs a lot more money than real soft piano. And then we're not doing anything fancy, like a two tone whatever. So let's delete that. Oh, actually, I need to cut this. So let's just make this. Here we go. The backside will be the same. Okay. Maybe I'll give mom a slight co-owners with the handle that goes across the backside of the cloche to be in horsehair, could be cornea, it can be blue, which, whichever one cobra, whichever one that your team decide to go forward with that. So I don't know if you notice what I just said. What I just said was this one will be for holiday season. This one will be for Mother's Day. Holiday season basically starts we literally leading up to Thanksgiving like two weeks, three weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. Then we'll go heavy into a between Thanksgiving all the way to the NL, Christmas Mother's Day. Obviously, we'll start selling it a month ago. All the products need to hit the store liters by April and then someone Mother's Day comes, they already have at least four weeks on a floor being promoted. So now, what all that men is, we just use your concept cat to do calendar planning. When we know everything needs to be in the store for Mother's Day by a pro, then that's when the rest of the tina, the PD-L1 merge wall, go back to the factory and issue the PO purchase order for Mother's Day clutch six to nine months before a pore I'm sorry, before April. And so you can see how important concept cat is because this is really the starting point where all the conversation, all the decisions for sales, for pricing, for production, for calendar planning start to happen. Remember, majority of the fashion brands still have their production overseas, so they had to plan the whole calendar out one year ahead. And the whole conversation starts during this process. You don't want to, since I have this back here, I might as well just do something. So let's see. We just want a black, no, let's not do that with a red bag. A some sort of Bohemia and rusty, oh, you know what, if it's Bohemia were really should do this. But then let's say your merch team comes back with the sample and tells you. This bag is so hard and stiff because soft piano leathers very stiff. Can we'd like soften it and make it more Bohemia, romantic unit, okay, horsehair it is. And this is you as a very astute designer that you had to remind a merge that just know that this bag is a huge, what's the size? Select this. Can we see the size here? Do am I covering up the sizes? Oh, yeah, I see. Sita's this bag itself is 30.7 centimeter. Why? Okay. And then 48 points of practically 50 centimeter, like long. Okay. So I'm sorry, tall. So I'm sorry. It's the other way around. My goodness. Let's do this again. Okay. So 30.7 cm tall and then almost 50 centimeter. Why? That's a lot of horse hair you had to bite into just to make this one bag. And again, when I look at this drawing, this concept cat, because it is drawn off to scale. The first thing I notice is the look kind of like too much close to each other because this is the actual size of the pattern. And so these are things you kinda had to bring it up to your margin PD and just say, Are you guys okay with this, that the spots themselves will be kinda closely packed simply because that's just how the horse hair material is made and printed. If everyone's on board, great. If you told and you call you call the problems and everyone is not okay, That's when you tried to find out then what's the solution? Do we really still wanna do it? Is this, a supplier has a different type. A horse hair pattern does slightly bigger and more spaced out versus so tightly packed. Now you see how important it is to actually do the concept cat up to scale, because I cannot tell you how much money we have wasted. Because we ordered a bunch of samples. Thinking the bag is absolutely amazing. And what the samples came, we realize the spots are so tightly pack is giving people a headache. So then we then had to restart the whole process. So talking to supply and trying to figure out if they have anything available in stock with the spots that are more spaced apart, if not, how long would it take to custom? Make one? How much would it cost? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And next thing you know, you miss the shipping deadlines. That happens all the time. Alright, so because I changed this, I need to change that. The bottom part, let's say you had a conversation with your merch and emergency. We want this bag to be able to stand on its own. We want to put it on tables because it's so big. We don't want to hang it on hangers, It's just going to get covered up. So you again, as asked you and experienced designer, then you said, Okay, no problem. There at the bottom, I'm going to ask soft piano, what did we just established before? Soft piano is a very stiff material. So this will actually help the bag stent up a little bit. And now we may even go back to the tech pack and then just let the factory now for the rest of the bag body, like the front and the back panel, you may need to add a bit of a filler to prop it up so it does not completely collapse. Horsehair, ISAF, trust me. So yeah, you need something to prop it up. Alright. Alright guys, there you have it. This is how you do concept cat. Alright, I will see you in the next video. Ciao. 9. Final Step - Adding BOM & Integrating Concept CAD with Tech Pack (Mass Production): Hi guys, Welcome back. I promise we are almost done. We're literally towards the end of this entire class. So what I did is I open up the actual tech pack for this little tote we have created. So now I'm going to show you the next step is, let's say the merchant a PD. Finally, everybody is in agreement. These are the four options, okay? We're gonna go for a width. So now you can drop them into the tub pack by creating a page, call the color chart page. Some people call this the SKU page, which is totally fine, is essentially the same thing. Now, the step we're going to take is first, you group every single cat that you just created. And then you right-click, go to transform, you go to scale. We're now changing, making the small, Not yet. And then make sure you select Scale Strokes and Effects scale corner. Everything is selected and just click Okay, make sure everything is selected. Then we're gonna do something called a symbol. We're going to create this into a symbol. If you don't have this drop-down menu, go to Window and scroll all the way down. It should be right here and just check it. Now in case you have never worked with symbol before. In class one, I actually went into detail showing you how to use symbol and why we use it. Here. I'm not going to go into detail. Just go back to class one and watch it. So the way you create symbol is literally click and drag. And you can name it doesn't matter. Make sure you are export movie clip in reality does is really no difference. The only differences illustrator says here, movie clip graph it attacks will flash import. We're not doing flashing puzzle. It doesn't mean anything. So just make sure as movie click, Make sure it's dynamic symbol. That just means that we can actually make changes to it afterwards. So click, Okay, here it is. Now let's do the same with the rest. Let's do it like that. Let's do it like that. Alright, so now I'm going to zoom out. I'm going to scale, Select All and scale everything down. Right, Eden. Absolutely beautiful. So I'm going to drag it here so we can scale, increase the size just a bit more so you can see it better. I'm also going to reduce the size of the reference image. Because what's more important now is the information that we see on these four options. And instead of calling them options, I'm actually going to call them skews, because at this point, this will become one. This is what will go into the store. And from this moment forward, every information you put on this page, color chart page, as well as the rest of the tech pack will be forwarded to the sample room overseas. Or if you work locally, doesn't matter. It will be copy and made produce into actual physical product. So this is the part point of no return. And make sure you don't make any mistakes because one single mistake, basically it will be reproduced 3,000 times into 33000 bags with all the mistakes or 1,000 or 500. And let me tell you, you'll be the one crying. You know, let's say it doesn't mistake being reproduced 3,000 times. Alright, so let me make a line up nicely. Remember, let me also just open this up. All the color material inflammation that we see here needs to be reflected here. This is called a bill of materials. Again, in class one, I went into detail explaining why does the salt important actually is, it's a very short explanation. I might as well tell you now, we actually send this to the factory for them to source the right material due to costing and make the right bag. So if this bill of materials does not reflect the color chart that we just create it, you literally will create a huge email chain of factory asking you on, this is not matching bad, too bad. What's going on? Can you explain blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, you don't want that to happen. So now let's also scale this down and then drag it here. So the sourcing team can see very clearly these are the materials that we will be using. Now a little bit, just a tiny bit about symbols. We create a here. If you double-click on any one of it, the full sized drawing shows up. And you can actually go in Changes. And let's say at the very last minute, right before you send the tech pack, the merchant say that, hey, you know, red is really not selling now can we change it to something else like a block. You're like, Okay, no problem. R2 to black suits you to back. And then you just click anywhere outside of this object. So I'm going to click right here, just double-click it. It jumps out and guess what happened? The same became black. And you know, what's really cool? If I duplicate this on a different page, and I duplicate this. And I duplicate this. And then let's say I go back again, I get another report saying that let's us know. And make black. Let's make it like I don't know, T0. Okay. You're like, Okay, it's T on page one, is T0 on this page, is teal on that page. So a symbol has the ability to capture your data. And then just like made the changes across the board. So you don't have to go into individual concert CAD and then trying to change this to the strap to teal. So that's what we use symbol for. Unless say, right-click, you can reset transformation. This will make it go back to its original size. And when you do right-click again, do break link to symbol. You basically go back to the drawing functions. So there's no more symbol in this. But if you go to the symbol drop-down menu is still safe here. And let's say we want to do something that is completely different, like a black soft piano body with the teal strap. And then you can save this as a separate symbol. But let's say your boss hates it. She's like, I'm just not feeling does Let's go back to the original then you know why It's already saving symbol, you just drag it out On page. So that's how you play with symbols. Now that being said, let's talk about BOM. So you have the skews. This is a color combination. The first thing you need to do is, what's the body? Body? We have two. We have, the body will be symbolized by this white body, body, the white square over here, it is no longer Canvas. We're going to call this the boars hair as 449. And then you go to swatch. You drag your little cobalt, pause here, way too big. Make it small. You know how to do this? Make it varies. I can put it underneath or on top. It doesn't matter as long as you know what you're doing and then you stay consistent. It's all good. Then the second horse hair, Let's just say this is the swatches are the same size. Is it good? It defined. So trim what is soft piano, leather? And you can do the same. You can literally just duplicate all of these and drag over here right next to it. We actually don't have a trend to so trend number one, there's no trim. Number two. Let me just sorry, I just realized this is not matching. Well, technically, you can also do the underside of the strap, a completely different color, but that's not the point here. So because there's no trim too, That's when you need to delete this, you know, and you need to also figure out what the lining is that you guys want to use. And do we have exterior zipper? No, we don't. Back panel ZOPA. No. So we could actually delete this as well. So you see what I'm doing? I'm customizing and building up the bill material to reflect what we are doing here. Okay. So let me just get rid of the ugly gap. Okay, TDB, that's how we really don't know. Alternate edges. Okay. Sorry my mistake. We go regular DTM, no hardware and let's just make sure this matches. Alright, so we're done with that. We can see it, it looks like this. And if you like, Let's make this smaller and then we'll create more room by moving this down here, the reference image. You can do a lighter. Perfect. So this is a color chart. It shows the factory, the rest of the team what color combinations, so skew options we're going to go forward with. We have 12344 skews. So what factor will do is that on this page alone, they'll print out this page. They'll go source all the materials and they will start making samples based off of your constant Cat. Now, in order for them to create the paper pattern, they need to, obviously you need to do to tap back full-size. And I have like two full classes teaching you how to do that. So I'm not gonna go into detail over here. But this is the actual tech pack for this little toe. I don't know if you notice the body, I leave it. Why? Because we have trained a factory to look at these technical drawings and figure out material distribution anywhere. That's why they understand they need to use body material, which is both the horse hair or the horsehair, cobalt horse hair or otoconia horse hair. They understand anywhere they see the gray over here that will be trimmed number one material which is soft piano leather. Anywhere they see the block they understand the edge finish will be turned edges anywhere they see the stitch line they understand and use a regular stitch. Probably SPS six DTM basically means dy to match. So basically what that is telling your factory isn't die the color of the stitch to match whatever the body colors are, the stroke color and hardware. Overhear. You could do shiny go finish or whatever standard finish your company uses just right over here. So this is how you do it. These color distribution chips that I have created body is why is pretty much a universal by interests I'll trim some people use like orange. I have seen company using green. I've seen company using blue. So just follow whatever your company's standard is just due to. So let's say your company does Bu. So remember I was just like raving about the, the advantage of using symbols. This is what you are like. Oh great, now I have to change everything into blue. But do you, maybe all you had to do is less a double-click the symbol, select the gray because that's trimmed number one into the blue you want. Let's just pretend this blue. Actually it's a Small Pastel. Okay, that looks will happen being a creative person, you just want to make sure you match the colors. Anyways, let's just say this blue is dark blue and you click anywhere else out the object in a U, out of the symbol Mo. Anywhere that has this particular symbol, the strap will automatically change it to blue. And you do exactly the same for the back. There. There we go. Oh, yeah. That was the blue. I said why didn't I just select that? Sorry. Everything matches. Then you do exactly the same for the top view, right? Yeah, perfect. So now you see over here, remember I said lining every time they see this daughters slanted lines, a bias cut line does what I call it, is basically lining. So when they see a view like to stay on and so they're looking in and this bag is going to be fully aligned. And what would that line be right now, we don't know. It could be polyester. It could be cut into it can be anything, whatever the standard lining material your company uses. So coming back to here, this is also a symbol. I create it. Remember we talked about we don't have trimmed number two, so I'm actually going to delete this because I don't want to confuse the factory. Alright, so I just deleted trim number two so that we're not confusing the factory. So I'm moving out lining. Alright, Everything looks allying, perfect. Click anything outside of the symbol like that? Guess what? Across all the pages, term number two has disappeared. Symbol is one of the most amazing creation Illustrator has ever come up with, just in my humble opinion, already done. So let's say this is done. So together as a package, you will send us over to everybody, the factory, the sample room, your PDT. We'll definitely have a copy of this and some merchandise merchandiser just need page one. Sam wanted the whole package, so we'll export it as a PDF and then send everything to everybody so that everyone is on the same page. So like I said, the concept cat, it's always better to create a full size value so you can make the right decision in terms of size, proportion, colors, materials, everything, get all of the problems out of the way. Then you build an entire tech pack. You drag the color chart into the tub pack, create a FirstPage based on that. And then you make sure you create a bill of materials based off of your concept cat. And then for the rest of the tech pack, made sure that the what I call the material distribution phase fully reflects correctly reflects what your bill materials are, which basically corresponds back to the concept cat you have created for this one single tote. I hope that is helpful. Thank you so much for taking your time to learn about this. I believe that you will become a very successful designer once you put your mind to it and practice, practice, practice, any questions, just leave a common for me and I'll be more than happy to answer them. Yeah. And like I said before, I will create two more classes. One specifically talking about how to create repeat swatch cards. And the other one is how to create full-size scale hardware. I hate to say it not to digress, but just to let you know, most of fashion him back. Companies do expect the bag designer to do this. They no longer have the budget to hire hardware designer by themselves, unfortunately. All right, Take care. Ciao.
