Just like that, you can go up or go down as much as you want. Okay? You can control the positions of the two anchors by just selecting them. You can select one bond, two bonds, three bonds with Shift, and select more than one buoyant. Okay? And you can undo that and select only three corners and give them a good messenger icon or a telephone icon. Okay, Let's take a circle from right here and make it smaller. And make one right here.

So be careful, be attentive, and write down notes and shortcuts because they will help you a lot during the upcoming courses or in your design process. Okay, and that was the direct selection tool. Now let's talk about the group selection tool, okay, now, here we have group, the layers, three circles, and that shape right here, okay? They are grouped so we can move them along the way, down or up together without redesigning the shape or so. So how to move that yellow bar while the whole shape is grouped together by selecting that group selection tool, which have the plus icon next to it. Okay? Just select it. And we can only move is that yellow shape up or down with the arrow keys on the keyboard because we just selected at, okay. Now we selected the white. Yellow shape was a group selection tool. We can move it down or to the right or to the left as much as we want, or we can make it back up the whole shape. And that is the use of the use of the group selection tool. Okay?

Or the Lasso tool allows us to select shapes, just like if the group selection tool, but with only hovering around it and making a circle or choosing or rounding that shape, you can select it. And I think also it helps with whether, you know, moving the anchor points of the shapes. Just like that. What I did right here, you can move them up or down with the arrow keys because we have art on one angle of the square. Okay. We can also hover over that anchor right here and move it down, or forward or backward as much as we can. It's only up to us. And that is the use of the Lasso tool. I think it helps with the drawing. And if you have a graphic tablet that will be so much easier to use, and also you can use it with your mouse. Okay, just click and drag to hover over any corner you want. Just like that. That is, they use the lasso tool. Now let's talk about the bend tool, which is right here. You can use P as a shortcut for the pen tool, okay? Just to look at.

And now we have a moon assemble shaped moon, not a perfect one. You can make the perfect one with the shape builder tool and we will talk about it when we get there. Okay? So the pen tool, we can use it to make shapes. Free shapes, just like that hold Shift, Alt and resides in place. And with the pen tool we can make a grid curves and grid shapes just like that. Now let's go to the extensions of the bend tool. Right-click and you will find a more, more tools behind the pen tool. Okay? That one right here is called added anchor point tool. We can add it buoyant with that tool selected. And you can add it binds right here, right there, in the middle of the square, just like that, okay? To add more curves or so. And you can add points if any design, you just need more points. You can add anchor points just like that in the loo, small curve right here. You can add points to the shapes as much as you need, you know, Wizard direct selection. Right here, we can choose these anchor points just like that and go up or down, you know, to give a different feel or shape to the design we are going to make. Okay, So the add anchor, the ad added anchor point tool, we can use it to add points or more than one going to the curves or the outline of the shapes, just like that. Let's go. Let's go to the other tools, ads extension or the eventual. There is a tool called a Delete Anchor Point tool, okay, right here, select it and you can delete certain points you didn't need, or certain points in the curve of the design or the outline of the design. Just you don't like or you just added edge and you won't to delete it again. Just like that hover over any point you don't need and you will see the minus icon appears, and by clicking on it, you just delete that point so you can undo the last one okay, to maintain the curvature of the shape. Hitting Control or Command, Control or Command Z to undo what you did to maintain the curve. This point right here, uh, you know, maintain the curve. And this one and also that one. Okay. And this one also, and this one, okay? There are important ones that hold the design together. So don't delete that binds or you will row when the design, okay, and you can delete the other points we just added it. So that was another anchor point. So let's undo that to maintain the shape curvature. And you can delete the one we added dried here without ruining their design because we have the eyes are 44 anchors holding the square. And if we wanted to make a rectangle, just delete that point right here, and now we have a rectangle, okay? And delete that one in the middle. Okay? Delete Anchor Point tool and anchor point of a bath. Okay, Don't show again. Just by that, we have a rectangle. We can rotate it with shift. And rotate just like that and resizing it with Shift Alt to resize in place. Now we'll have our rectangle. More options to make a rectangle are coming from right here. So wait, okay, wait till you reach there. Okay. That was the use of the Delete Anchor Point tool to delete unwanted points to natural wins. I designed the course and holding the design together, hello and ends this lecture, we will talk about Anchor Point tool. You can use shift plus C as a shortcut to get the anchor point tool, which is the last tool and there have been tool okay. Selected. The anchor point tool. And the anchor point tool allows us to control the curves of the anchor point.

The points at the angles of the shape. You can control the curves only by clicking and dragging, just like that. Okay? And that's it. That is, use the use of anchor point tool right here. Now let's talk about Zack curvature tool, which is that one right here. Okay, click on it. And with the curvature tool we can add binds to the shapes. I selected that one before selecting the curvature tool. Okay, so we have to select the shape first, then select the curvature tool. Just like that. Okay?

You will find that we are in the full-screen mode with the menu bar. So let's go to the third mode, which is the full screen mode, which allows us to be in the false green and the design space, okay? And you can hover over the tools bar to get it, or over the, over the window bar to get it right here. Okay, Just like that. Let's get back to normal screen mode. And that's how to use the three screen modes in Adobe Illustrator. 6. 5. Playing With Text: Hello everyone, to this section that e-sports text design. Let's make an e-sports text. This text right here. It's called the freshmen. Okay, let's increase the space between letters to 201st to get the type menu. Go to Window Type and select director. Who's the text ad increase the space up to 100. 100 is pretty good. To object, expand, appearance, gain Object, and Expand. Ok. And then we expanded the phone. Right-click, Ungroup it to the first and the last letters and wrist shift and alt and resize in blaze. These two letters. Exam smaller to fit with the other letters and grew. The letters in the middle. Align them like this. And then choose all of them. And make another copy Alt and drag this one and make it near the other letters. And this one also do from here. And zoom vertically. Align them horizontally. Then align them and upper section. Make a small rectangle to measure the space between the letters. Make it the same. This one. Let's ungroup it first and grow and make it to fit square, base. Then delete the two squares and and make a copy Alt and drag. Use the letters in the middle. And the first and the big two. And use the middle letters and to effect and wrap arc and then manipulate the band until you reach a comfortable arc. Then hit Okay. It to object, band appearance. Then IN them again. In the middle, it's right one Control Z to undo, undo that to them, that all of them and group them. Make another copy or into effect. And arc. And adjust. L is good and hit Okay. To object and expand appearance. The whole text. Control S to save your design. The type right here is a freshman text, okay? You can find it anywhere. The text and make another copy control C, control F. And then it gets the last layer Control Shift and the left bracket key and make a stroke around 75. For 75 is great. It to object band of k and then hit Unite. Use a text and give it a white color. Who's a background layer? And choose the pen tool and delete these extra points that may row in our design. Make it more symbol. Our balanced elite or points. And let go to row one, our design. Then elite section right here, or this points first for the move tool. Right here under the pencil tool. And click and drag over any unwanted points to make the design more simple with fewer points. Right here. Very easy. It make a fewer points and a more symbol design. Let's undo that. They don't control that because it ruined our design. Just don't use it too much. This layer alternate drag to make another copy. The last layer, hold Shift and the left bracket key. Smaller, Control, Alt and shift to resize in place and choose a color. And then using the pen tool, make this shape right here from the anchors. And making the last layer hitting Control Shift and the left bracket key. And make another one right here. The anchors. From this anchor to this one, you know, to make a shadow layer for the first layer and the black layer we just made. And then close it, choose all of the red layers and move it to the back. All the shape. And take it outside of the art board. Make another copy, a group it first and make another copy control C, control F in the macOS Command, C command. And make a stroke for the background. There, we just copied around 50 and change its color to white. And whose stroke? And make a rounded cap. And corner four. That's true. It to object and expand which are bounded, broke with the shapes and unite. We just made it another vector layer, the hall. And right here, Control S to save your design Command S on the Mac, the whole object right here. They can also want Alt and drag to make a copy domain, of course, with Alt and ruler of your mouse and grooves whole object that exists x. The first, we need to make a rectangle, circle. A circle, sorry. And change the color of this circle. We need to align it down, position it well, don't mix up that effect. Up here on the letters. Change its color to maybe gray color. Light gray. Use the text only and with the circle and using the shape builder tool, hit Alt and delete this part and delete this other part. Also, the lectin Alt and clicking with our mouse. Thing's a shape builder tool. Select all of these shadow Gibbs and group them, of course, are unite them. Versus. It to gradient and might need to make the angle round 290 degree and reverse it. And you can change the scale of the gradient. It's Amazon effect. We can apply it on our designs. Maybe this is a scholar. Here. The gradient first. And lies a scholar. Or just darker one. Maybe make it around 50%. That's cool effect. I think. Yellow color with a brighter yellow color. Knows there's maybe a hug it a mission. It okay. Does this color also, it doesn't choose it. This bug hills me. Let's make it white First. Scholar it. Okay? Yes. Under control that now we got back white color. Use a white stroke area, which I on the keyboard, select this color and Control S to save your design. Now we've got two versions of our words. Next, logo. Maybe, that's good. Let's take another Coby Alt, drag. Right-click hit to transform. Reflect it. Okay. Make it over this later. Take its place. Right, to align it perfectly with the first one, because it's going to replace it, of course. And let's delete the first one. It's this one of course. Now we just needed this one right here and this one group them of course, wrote that. Own them. One here. Group all just liters Control G line, all of the litters. Them smaller head and eyes in our house. The rectangle smaller will make after dinner, makes the liturgy IT or use the other one. And make a major rectangle. Would be it here. And make another one here. Alternative drag, of course. And try to fit the letter to equal the distance between all the letters. A big battle won a very important step. Bear it in mind when designing e-sports. Them, of course again. Then chew them, leads them. Use rectangle. Use all the text alt on it. Try to exert rectangle. Now is as good. Lift and rotate the rectangle. It below the layers. The middle of them. No words, the rectangle. And then again to make sure, and if Dan select all of them, ionize them horizontally and vertically, moves them, control G to group them. For all G to group any text. Group this one, Control G to group it. Make another copy, control C, control F, and add a stroke to it. Is good. It to expand and a to best finder. And I like the text and give it a color. And we just made a stroke backdrop here for our original text. All of them. Make another copy. Here, alt and drag. Resize it, make it bigger. Enterocytes in place, hit Alt and Shift and resides with your mouse. Make another copy below landed drag domain with alt and the ruler of your mouse. Use the back layer and give it that color. Ions. The color very easy. Lemma is a background layer. Make another one. This black bar I ended drag. Meccans, the last layer Control Shift and the left bracket key selected and resize it it in place. Using Control Shift, Alt and Shift, and then use a Laura as ruler of your mouth. Lower. The background layer. Groups original text towards the back layer. Lining the whole layers. Legs are bent to make the shadow. The background shadow of course. And here of course, the background Chad. Select all of these layers, make them the last layer Control Shift and the left bracket key unite them from the Pathfinder window. We just made it look like a 3D object in front of our eyes. That's great. Room it make another copy control C, control F and unites the last copy and give it a stroke around to. Of course, FFT is good. And head to object, band it. Okay, the same steps and select the last layer. Go to the Pathfinder and I did the leg, this white color. I answer. Now, look at it. Awesome. Yeah. Now of course, you can add more effects and details to your sports or sports text. You know, just, you know, making shadows to the text here. To ungroup. Make a rectangle from here or from the middle of the litters of the center. And make a rectangle. Let the text only and the rectangle and delete these points. And at the m, there is a point here. Now we just deleted it. Selecting all builder tool to delete any extra points. Take a copy of these layers. Give it a black color. C control F to make another copy and add a stroke to the background layer. We just copied around 50. Object and Expand, hit a night, just stare like hello. Grayson, eye color and save your designing role. Maybe get this one right here and resize it in place, holding Alt and Shift and dragging with our mouse. Use the pen tool and delete these points right here. And then draw and z equal f will make another copy. Mckinsey last layer with black there. Then who is it? And make a stroke for it around in. Maybe reflect the stroke to a white color. Down, I look good. In red, one object and a new node. Next banded layer. Choose extract here, and give it. It's got our head. I answered, hello. Now we apply this effect to it. That's another effect. You, who you are. E-sports x. And then make our rectangle. From the middle of the war. Though I color exists biggest. And with the shape builder tool, delete any unwanted parts holding Alt and clicking. Okay, Let's group these layers and let's leave the other part, or the M right here. It's maybe increase. Another five. No, that's too much. Or little one. Hey, let's band and unite it. Right to your original texts. The shape builder tool, delete this one holding Alt and in on. And it Bart's control is to save your design. And we're just undoing that stroke and made another one is already known terrorist and the yellow parts. This part again, because we go back in history by clicking Control Z to undo any unwanted dangerous. Okay, now you got that feeling. Arrow or a color. Apply it on a text that has a stroke. Tickets that give it a very cool effect. Make a copy of the black background layer Alt and drag it, align it with the first one and also make it the last layer holding Control Shift and the left bracket key. Align them and then try to make these shapes, the shadow shapes with the Pen tool. Maybe make it bigger. Holding Alt and Shift, drag into resides in place. And let's make our shadow. It's connected all the layers with each other. And right here make the other one. Both of them. And go around to finish and connect to the final shape. Select all of them, gift and select any other ones and make them the last layer holding Control, Shift and the left bracket key. Very important note cards or our very own board. And then unite all the background layers. The layer, I mean, now go to the pen tool and try to make the thorny edges that gives a nice shadow. There was a design or a nice depth, right? To make these shapes very easy to do. Alt and drag another copy goes to transform, sorry, right-click Transform and Reflect. And then okay. Then make it, align it with the other one in the same place. It's very easy to do better because Adobe Illustrator is a snappy. Choose a white color and select the color on the keyboard. Then select the other one, and then align them and group them ahead and Control G. Now unite them. Now, we need to ungroup layers first. The group layer. We knew we need to ungroup them. Right-click and ungroup the leg, the back fixed, and unite them with each other. And select them, make them the last layer to make the world a yellow shadow appear head and control that the left rounded bracket key. Role, gift. Now we've got this effect. Look how cool it is to let you know it's the word gaming. Those sports and e-sports and gaming globals are the same. Okay. Maybe choose the black color. I can select the color Control C, Control F. The black background layer, and add a stroke to add around 50. 50 is good at head to Object, Expand. Always expand your product and then United, Okay? And select any color you want on the art board. But i, and selecting the color you want on the art board. Now, we just made a great contrasted to our gaming global or our e-sports to go to Gradient and try to, if you want to make a gradient effect owns at the text shadow, you can make a cool one pretty easily and select the white color. We'll go to Color, just double-click on the scale. And you will go to swatches and select all your colors. And you can play with the scale to increase our color quantity in the gradient as you want. Okay. Let this gray. We're just like R one and adjust the scale as you want phases at school. Yeah, here we have a kind of a metal lock to our logo. That's very good luck with the gradient. We just made the white and gray color down. Okay, Ryan, to find a good color for the stroke. Maybe the white one is great. Control S to save your design right here and make it white stroke to fit our design. Control S to save your design contrast tried here is the key to all nodes a solution, okay? Trust is very important. Role is to save your design. But that one right here, Coby 0 of n. Time to drag, of course. Make a copy, of course, of just one right here. Also. Select the stroke color and give them this red color. Right here. Make a gradient. I'm thinking about making a red gradient, red to white of course. Then right here, we need to make a contrast. Make the stroke color to a white color right here, I am selecting the color. Now it's contrasted next. And it's very good Really.
