illustrator plus : 30 days challenge to learn illustrator

1. Class introduction: You want to become a graphic designer in 30 days, then you are in the right place. Hello, my name is Joseph Adam. I'm a graphic designer with more than ten years of experience. I have worked with more than 600 clients and companies, and more than 120,000 students have subscribed to my classes. In this class, I will teach you how to master the Abe Illustrator software in 30 days, even if you have no experience at all. This class is divided to four weeks. In the first week, you will learn the basics of the Illustrator software basics like the layer system and the software tools. Tools like the pin tool and the pencil tool that we use to draw freely and to create the shapes that we want in a simple and easy way. You will also learn to transform simple geometric shapes into complex shapes and use them to create your designs. As you will apply these tools and techniques on designs that we will create from scratch, in the second week, you will learn multiple tips and tricks that will save you a lot of time and effort. Tricks like duplicating shapes with a single button and creating shapes using the reflect technique. You will also learn to use the Pathfinder menu to merge multiple shapes and create advanced shapes. We will also see how to add images to the software and turn them into shapes, and how to edit them, and even how to mask them into any shape we create. We will take a look at multiple tools tools like the Warp tool, the Twirl tool, and a lot more. You will learn to use colors, paint shapes, add and write text, edit it, and add effects to it. Use paint brushes and how to create effects effects like the transform effect, the blend effect, the glass effect, and a lot more. You will also learn to create D designs in the software and how to add texture to your objects, and how to set the lighting to create professional designs. The third week will be for those of you that want to work as designers, whether it's for companies or as freelancers by cylinder designs online. As you will learn to create commercial designs, designs like logos, flyers, business cards, T shirts, we will create multiple commercial designs from scratch and we will take a look at the artboard feature. In the fourth and last week, we will create advanced designs. As you will learn how to create professional designs by creating and editing multiple shapes and by setting colors, lighting, and sizes, You will see how to add multiple effects and details to make your designs look more realistic and professional. We will also create an asymmetric design that is similar to a professional red design. By the end of this class, you will become a graphic designer, ready to create multiple and different designs using the skills and techniques that you have acquired through this class. Let me tell you that learning graphic design and how to use the illustrator software specifically can change your life for the better. Because you can work as a graphic designer and improve your talent by learning new and creative skills, you have only one more step left to success. Join me in this class. I will be waiting for you. 2. first week: First week, you will learn the basics of the Illustrator software basics like the layer system and the software tools tools like the Pin tool and the pencil tool. That we use to draw freely and to create the shapes that we want in a simple and easy way. You will also learn to transform simple geometric shapes into complex shapes and use them to create your designs as you will apply these tools and techniques on designs that we will create from scratch. 3. Create new Project: Hello and welcome to the first video in this course. When we open the Adobe Illustrator, we get this page here. It's the same page in all the Adobe products like Premier Pro and Photoshop. We have here multiple fast files offered by the software. We can select anyone we like. If we want to start our own new file, we click on new file, we get this window. Here we have here the recent page. In here, we find the recent files or documents that we used. Next we have the saved page. When you save your own file sizes, you will find them here. Next we have the mobile page. If you want to create a mobile app or design, you find here different sizes that you can select. We click on all presets to see all the presets we have. Here We have a size for each phone type. We have here some ready templates offered by the software. You can download it and use it. Next we have the web page. If you want to design a web page or a computer background. Same thing you have here, Multiple documents, presets to choose from, and multiple templates as well. Next we have the print page. This page is for printed designs like fliers and books. We have here the famous four size here, we use it for flyers. We have some templates as well. Next we have the film and video page, if we want to design a cover photo for Youtube videos or anything else. Next we have the art and illustration page. Same thing, we have multiple presets and templates to choose from. Finally, we have here more template page. In here, we find more templates offered by the software. To download a template, you select it and click on the download button here. Now we go back to the recent page we have here, the four document. We select it and we can edit its settings From here. We start by naming the document, we name it First project. For example, we have here the size unit. We have pixels, points, inches, feet, meters, et cetera. I will select millimeters. You can see the width measurements change to millimeters here. To change the width size, we select it and we type the size we want. I will keep it at 210 millimeters. Same thing with the height. We type the size we want based on our design. We have here the orientation. We have two options, vertical and horizontal. We select the option that we want. Next we have the art boards. We use the artboards to select the number of pages we want to use. In our design, we can use this arrow to increase the number of pages, or we set the number manually. For example, ten. Now when we create the document, it will have ten pages, but we don't need all these pages. We set it to one. Next we have the bleed. This setting is for printed designs. When you create a design that will be printed. When it's printed, it will be cut from the sides and that will affect your design. We add a bleed or a margin to avoid affecting your design. For example, we add 3 millimeters on top. Now in the printing process, this extra 3 millimeters that we added is the one that will be cut. Like I said, we add the bleed or the margin to avoid cutting the sides of the design while printing it. Take a look here. When I added the 3 millimeters to the top, it was added on all sides automatically. That's because I'm activating the link setting. If I deactivated and set the top to 5 millimeters, for example, the rest of the sides are not changed because the link setting is deactivated. I will activate it again and set the bleed to 3 millimeters. This is the standard size. Next we have the color mode. We have RGB color and CMYK color. We use the RGB color for designs that are shown on the computer, like social media designs, ebooks, and more. We use the CMYK color for printed designs. Remember this. Next we have here the Rester Effects. This is the designs resolution. If the design will be printed, it's better to set it to 300. But if the design is for the computer, 72 will be enough. After setting all the settings, we click on Create. Here we are. This is our document. This red margin here is the bleed we set earlier. This is the Illustrator workspace. That's it. See you in the next video to take a look at it. 4. Workspace: Hello and welcome to this video. In the former video, we created this document here. Now we get this workspace. If you use the Photoshop or any other Adobe software before you will find this page familiar. Now we will see how to edit our workspace. We have here the tools bar on the left. It's very important we use these tools here to create our designs. On the right here, we have multiple windows or menu. We have the properties, the layers, and the libraries. If we want to change this workspace, the software offers us multiple choices. We go to Window workspace and we have here multiple workspaces that we can choose from. We are using the Essentials workspace. Now we can change it to Essentials Classic. You can see we have new tools here. Next we have the painting workspace. We have multiple workspaces that we can choose from, for example, the Typography workspace. Now we go back to the Essentials workspace to add more tools to it, like we have in the other workspace, We go to Window and we have here multiple windows that we can add to our workspace. The checked windows are the ones that are already added. The unchecked ones are not yet added. We select a window, for example, the color window. We check it to add it, here it is. We add the path finder window. We can put these windows on the right here. We click on the window and drag it here. When we get this blue bar, we release the mouse button to add. Here it is, It's added. Same thing for the path finder window. We drag it here, here it is. This is how we can add windows to our workspace. We can always drag it out to remove it. To remove the window, we click on the closed icon on the top left corner, or we uncheck it from the window menu. Like I said, we check the window to edit and we uncheck it. To remove it, we can select and drag the tools bar as well. We can put it anywhere we want. We can set it to a single column or to a dual column. Now we add the path finder window here. Let's say that we added our windows and customized our workspace in the way we like. Now we want to save it. To keep using it, it's very simple. We go to Window workspace and we select new workspace. We name the workspace. For example, we call it my workspace. We click okay. Now we go back to Window workspace, and we find it right here. Now we go back to the Essentials workspace. The Essentials workspace is changed and we want to reset it to its original look. It's simple. We go to Window workspace and we select Reset Essentials. Here we are. The workspace is back to default. We can always go back and select the workspace we just created. This is how we can select the workspace we want to use. We can add windows to this bar here as well. We go to window and we add the color guide window. We drag it to the bar here. Now we have the windows icon. And we click on the icon to show the window whenever we want. If this space here is not enough for your Windows, you can add more windows to this bar here. You just add the window and drag it to the bar like this. Then you can show or hide the window whenever you like. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 5. Create Shapes: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to create shapes using the Illustrator. We start by going to the Tools bar first. In the Tools bar, you will notice that some tools have a small arrow on the right low corner. That means that this is a menu with multiple tools. If you write to click on the tool, you will get the menu of the other tools you can write to, click on the tool or click on it and hold with the left mouse button to get this menu. Now back to Creating Shapes. We go to the tools bar and we select the rectangle tool, then we click and drag to draw a rectangle or a box. Here we have a rectangle. This is how we can draw a rectangle. To delete the shape, we click delete from the keyboard. Now to draw an even box, we hold Shift, then we draw the box. You can see the size of the shape on the lower right corner. Here we are an even box. Now we delete the box. Now let's say that we want to draw a box in the center of the page. We hover over the center of the page and we get this red dot with the word center. If we click and draw the shape, its corner will be at the center of the page. But what I really want is to set the center of the box, at the center of the page. To do so, I hover over the center. Then I hold Alt and draw the shape like this. As you can see, the center of the shape is set to the center of the page. To draw an even box, I hold Shift as well. This is how we can draw an even shape at the center of the page. Now we delete the shape. Right click on the rectangle tool. We have here the ellipse tool for circles. We have the polygonal tool, star tool, and finally the line segment tool. We select the Ellas tool to draw a circle. We click and drag to draw a full circle. We hold Shift like before, we hover over the center of the page. We hold Alt and shift to draw a full circle at the center of the page. We take a look at the polygon tool, we click and drag to draw a polygon here. Same thing with the star tool. We draw a star. We hold shift to draw a perfect star. We go back to the rectangle tool. We hold old end shift to draw an even box at the center. Now we can edit each side of the box. We click on the side and we drag it down or up. Same thing for the other side. From the sides, of course, we drag to the right, end to the left. And we can drag the box from the corner to edit its whole size. Increase it or decrease it to rotate the box. We hover over its corner until we get the curved arrow and we use it to rotate the shape. This is how we can create and edit shapes using the illustrator to remove the shape, we click delete, Or we go to the layers window, we slick the shape layer, and we click delete. This is in case we have multiple shapes and we want to delete a specific one. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 6. The Shape Segment Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the line segment tool. The line segment tool is the last tool in the Shapes menu. Select it. We use it to draw lines. We click and draw the line we want. We select where we want the line at, and we click again. Of course, we can draw lines vertically and horizontally and even diagonally. But as you can see, these lines are not straight, they are slightly tilted. Now we select the two lines, and we click Delete to remove them. We go back to the line segment tool. We click and drag to draw a line. Now we hold shift, here we are. The line is straight, even if we wanted to tilt it, we can't. This is how we can draw straight lines. Same thing horizontally. Now we delete these lines, and we draw a new one, a straight horizontal line. We zoom in on it to get a good look. Now to edit this line, we go to the Properties window. If you can see it here, make sure to activate it from the Window menu. We have the transform settings. We use it to edit the size of the line. In here we have the stroke setting. It's set to one point. If we increase the stroke size, the line becomes bold. The more stroke size, we increase the bolder the line is. From here, we can edit the thickness of the line. We click on the stroke setting, We get this window. Take a look at the edges of the line. They are sharp. We use the cap setting to make them round. We have another shape edge option. We have three options here. We can select the one we like. We have here the dashed line setting. If we activate it, the line will be in dishes like this. We can set the size of the dishes from here. Next, we can set the space between the dishes from here. We can increase it or decrease it. For example, we set it to 60. We set the sh size and the space between the dishes. From here, we deactivate the shed line. Next we have the arrow head setting. We use it to turn the line head into an arrow. We have multiple arrow shapes to choose from. We have more than arrows. Here we have other shapes. Same thing here for the other side of the arrow. We have here the profile setting. We use it at the line shape like this. We have here multiple shapes to choose from. In here we have the pest setting. We use it to set the lines pest. This is how we can draw and edit lines that's set for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 7. How to edit shapes: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to edit the shapes we draw. We start by drawing an even box here, We zoom in on the shape. We select the zoom tool and click and drag up to zoom. As you can see, we have these dots at the corner of the shape. If we click and drag the dot to the inside of the shape, the shapes edges becomes round. If you drag to the inside too much, the shape will eventually become a circle. You can click on the dot and drag toward the upside. To reverse the process, you keep going if you want until you put the shape back to its original form. Now what if we want to make only this corner round? We click on the dot on the selected corner one time, you can see we have here a dot next to the curved arrow. Now now when we drag the dot, we edit the selected corner only. Same thing here, When we hover over the dot, you can see a curved arrow only. But when we click on the dot, we get a dot next to the arrow. Now we drag to the inside of the shape to make this corner only round you can see the roundness right here. We set it to 26 millimeter, for example, we go back to the top right corner and we set it to 26 millimeters as well. This is useful to match both corners. Of course, you can put the shape back to normal whenever you want. Now we delete this box. We use the polygonal tool to add a polygon here, but we keep holding the mouse button. Now this is a polygon, but if we click on the arrow from the keyboard while holding the mouse button, we add another side to the shape. If we click on the Down button, we remove a side from the shape. This way we can draw a pentagon hexagon, heptagon, octagon, et cetera. After selecting the shape we want, we release the mouse button. You can always use this stud to edit the shape edges like we saw before. Now we use the star tool to draw a star. Here we hold shift while growing to make sure that the star is even. Same thing. We hold the mouse button and we use the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease the shape sights. This way we can draw different shapes. We can also hold control for Windows users or command for Mac users, and drag the mouse to the inside or the outside of the star. We can also hold control for Windows users or command for Mac users and drag the mounts to the inside or the outside of the star. To change it like this. This is how we can edit our shapes. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 8. How to colour Shapes: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll see how to color shapes. We start by going to Window workspace and we select the Essentials classic workspace that we get these tools. Here you can see the Tools bar has changed. But these are the same tools we have in the Tools bar. At the Essentials workspace. The only thing that has changed is how the tools look like. We have here the Shape Tools menu. We select the Ellas tool. We hold Shift, and we draw a circle in the middle. Now this shape has two parts. The inside part, which is called the fill, and the outside part, the line, which is called the stroke. Now we can color these two parts of the shape. There are many ways to do so. The first way we go to the Fill and Stroke tool in the tools bar, and we double click on the fill color box. We get the color picker window and we select the color we want. Then we click okay to apply the color We are now, we change the stroke color. We select the stroke color box to put it on top. Now double click on it and we select the color we want. We click okay, here we are. We can edit the size of the stroke using the properties window like this or from here as well, we increase or decrease the stroke size. We can change the stroke color from here as well, and of course the fill color also. And to remove the color, we click here. So that's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 9. Layers Window: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the layers in the Adobe Illustrator in the Essentials Classic workspace. The layers will be here we select it. This is the layers window. If you can't find it here, go to Window and make sure to check layers. All the windows in the software are here. To activate any of them, just click on it to check it. I will drag the layers window here to get a good look at it. Now we select the rectangle tool and we draw an even box here. We paint it in blue. Now after we draw the rectangle, we got its layer here. Anything with draw or add here will appear in the layers window. We can edit it from here. As you can see, the rectangle layer is inside the layer one. We can consider the layer one as a folder and the box layer is inside it. For example, we select the Ellas tool and with draw a circle here we change its color. Here we are, The Ells layer and the rectangle layer are here. We can see the two shapes in the layer. One preview box. When we open it, we find two layers inside it. Each shape with its own layer. We can open or close the layer one from here to hide any of these shapes. For example, the rectangle, We click on this icon next to it. We click on it again to show the shape. This is useful if we want to hide something temporarily. Same thing with the elapse layer. We hide this circle and we show it, We can double click on the layer to change its name. For example, we name this layer circle and this one rectangle. Now each layer has its own name. We use the selection tool to select and move the shapes. Now if we put the circle on top of the rectangle, this is a box, but we named it a rectangle. We will call it a rectangle. Now you can see the circle covered the rectangle. That's because the circle's layer is on top of the rectangle layer In the layers menu, if we put the rectangle layer on top, now the rectangle will cover the circle. The layer that's on top is always the one showing The layer below will be shown behind. You will not notice this if the shapes are set like this, but if the shapes are on top of each other, you will be able to notice that. Make sure to organize the layers menu. If we want to show the circle, we put its layer on top and vice versa. Now we can move the circle and put it anywhere we want. But what if we want to lock it so that it can't be moved? We go here next to the icon in the circle layer and we click, we have a lock icon. Now, now if we want to select the circle and move it, we can't even that we are selecting the circle, it does not move. Instead it's rectangle behind it that's selected and moved. We put the rectangle here, now that there is nothing behind the circle. When we select it and try to move it, it does not move because its layer is locked. Same thing for the rectangle. If we locked its layer, we can't move it. We can always click on the lock icon again to unlock the layer. Here we are. The shapes can be moved. Now like I said, this layer on top is considered as a folder. If we want to select both shape layers, we click here on the circle to select all the layers inside the folder at the same time. We can adjust their size at the same time. Like this, of course, we can select each shape separately. Like I said, this layer is considered a folder. If we select it, all the layers inside it are selected as well. Now what if we want to put each shape layer in a separate folder? It's very simple. We click on the add layer icon. Here, we name this layer group two. We add the circle layer to it. Now the layer one has the rectangle layer inside it, and the group two layer has the circle layer inside it. To add another shape to this group, we select the group and we draw another circle. Here, here it is. The circle is added automatically to the group two. Now, when we select the group two, both circles are selected because they are both inside of it. We rename this layer to group one. Now when we select it, the rectangle is selected. We can add another rectangle here, here it is. It's added automatically to the group one layer. Because it was selected, we can add multiple layers to any group we want. We can add any number of groups we want. Of course, to remove any layer we selected, and we click Delete from the keyboard to remove the whole group. We select it and we click on the delete icon here. Same thing here. We select the layer, and we click delete to remove it. Now we add a star shape here, and another here we change the color of the second star. Now we slk both shape layers. We click on Command Plus to put them in a single group. Now we can edit both of them at the same time. We have a group inside a group. Now to separate the two shapes, we click on Command Shift Plus. Here we are. The two shapes are separated and we can edit each one separately. This is how to use the layers in the Adobe Illustrator. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 10. The Selection and The Direct Selection Tools: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the selection tool and the direct selection tool, and we will see the difference between them. We start by drawing a box here using the rectangle tool, we paint the box in any color purple, for example. Now this is here is the selection tool. It's shortcut is V. We use the selection tool to select objects. For example, to select this box, we click on it using the selection tool. Then we can drag it and put it anywhere we want. Now we can select the box in a different way using the layers window. Now let's say that we have multiple shapes here. First, we add more shapes here by duplicating this box. We hold Alt and we use the selection tool to drag the box here to duplicate it. We duplicate it several times. Here we are. We have here multiple shapes. Now, if we go to the layers inside the group here, we have multiple shapes in the same size and color. We want to edit any of them. How can we select the layer of the shape we want? It's simple. We use the selection tool to select the shape we want to edit. After we selected it, we got this icon here next to its layer, which means that this is the layer of the shape we selected. Same thing here, here. This way we can know the shape layer just by clicking on it. After knowing the layer, we can hide it or lock it or anything we want. Now we remove these shapes, now we select the shape or object, and we scale it like this from any side we want, or we hold shift and we adjust its size equally from all sides. We can also hold shift plus old and then adjust its size to keep the same center point. This is the selection tool. How and what we use it for. Now we move to the Direct Selection tool. This here is the Direct Selection tool. When we use this tool to select the object, we can see that these dots on the edge are selected two. We can use these dots to edit the shape like this. We can select two dots at the same time and adjust them like this. Now we use the star tool to add a star here. Same thing. We use the direct selection tool to edit the dots on the edge of the shape. To edit the shape sluck, same thing. We select these dots and we just the shape. This is the difference between the selection tool and the direct selection tool. We use the selection tool to select and edit the shape. And we use the direct selection tool to select and edit the dots on the shape. We can hold shift and select multiple dots, for example, these three dots here. And we can edit all of them at the same time. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 11. Edit Shapes using Corner Dots: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll see how to edit and change shapes using the corner dots. We have multiple boxes and we will change each one of them into a different shape using the corner dots. We start by selecting the first box. We can use the selection tool or the direct selection tool. As you can see, these are the corner dots. We already talked about them before. Now we hold shift and we slick the right top dot and the left top dot. Now both dots are selected. Now we can click on the dot and drag to the inside to get this shape Here we move to the next box. We hold shift and we slect all four dots. We select one of them and we drag to the inside. Here we are. We change the shape from a box to a circle. We move to the next shape. We select the top left dot only, and we drag it like this. Here we are, we got our shape. Next shape, we select the top left dot, we hold shift and we sl the bottom right, do we drag to the inside? And here we are, we get this shape, we move to the next shape, We sl the top left dot, the top right dot, and the bottom left dot, we drag to the inside and we get this shape. After the next shape, we slick the top right and left dots, we drag to the inside. Now we hover over the middle dot until we get this icon. We hold Alt and click on it with the left mouse button. Here we are. We got this shape here. We can hold Alt again and click on the middle dot. To change the shape like this, we put it back. Now we slick the next shape. We hold shift and we slick all four dots. We drag to the inside, we get a circle. Now we hold Alt and click on the middle dot. Get this shape here, less shape. We select the top left dot and the right bottom dot. We drag to the inside like this, we hold old and we click on the middle dot to get this shape here. This is how we can use these dots to edit and change shapes. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 12. The Pencil Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll take a look at the pencil tool. To get to the pencil tool, well, write, click on the Shaper tool. In the tools bar, we get this menu and we have the pencil tool. Here you can see the mouse icon turned into a pencil. Now, we can use the pencil tool to draw any shape we want. For example, we draw this line, we add more lines here. Each shape we draw has its own layer. Now we click on V from the keyboard. That's the short cut for the selection tool. We select all these lines and we delete them. The shortcut for the pencil tool is N. Let's draw a tree branch, for example. We start by drawing the stem. Now let's say that we want to edit this line. After we drew it, we put the pencil on the line until that letter star is gone and we can redraw the line to edit it. It's like we are pulling the line to another place. This is how we can fix a mistake or redraw something after we changed our minds. If we want to draw another line here like this, as you can see, instead of drawing a line, the existing line is edited. To go back, we click Control plus Z for Windows, or Command plus Z form. Now we need to unselect this line. We click V from the keyboard, then we click anywhere in the page to deselect the line, we select the pencil tool again, and we draw new lines here. Now we can draw another line here without deselecting the top line and selecting the pencil tool Again, because the two lines are not interacting with each other, we add more lines here. We click to select the lines, and we can put the lines anywhere we want. Here we are, just this line, slightly like this perfect. Now we start drawing the leaves like this perfect. These are our leaves. Now to paint them, we use the color box on the tools bar, or we use the watches window. In case you can't find it here, make sure to check it from the window menu. Now we paint the leaves in green. The line that we drew as the leaf stem is not visible. This line here. To fix that, we select the lines layer and we put it on top. We hold shift and we select all the lines, layers and we pull them up all at once. Here we are. The lines or the leaf stems are visible. We can select the leaves and remove their stroke if we want. This is how we use the pencil tool in the Dobe Illustrator. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 13. The Blob Brush Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the blob brush tool. We use the blob brush tool to draw as well, but it's slightly different from the pencil tool that we saw in the former video. The pencil tool draws lines or strokes, whereas the blob brush tool draws the fill. Now, right click on the paintbrush tool in the tools bar and we sl the blob brush tool, we can set the tools size using the brackets buttons. We use the right bracket button to increase the tools size, and we use the left bracket button to decrease its size. We select the color we want for the fil. We deactivate the stroke and we start drawing. For example, we draw a cloud in here. Now we increase the brush size. We paint the cloud perfect. Now we use the selection tool to select the shape. We can increase or decrease its size and edit it any way we want. Now let's say that we want to delete a part of this shape. Right click on the scissors tool. We select the Erasoryol. We can adjust the size of the Erasor tool using the brackets as well. Increase or decrease it. Now we simply use the razor tool to raise this part that we don't want anymore to add to the shape. We select the blob brush tool and we draw what we want. This is all a single shape. This is how we draw shapes using the blob brush tool. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 14. First Homework: Hello and welcome to this video. After we took a look at some of the basics of the Dope Illustrator software. And with all that you have learned, it's time for homework. I would like you to create this simple design right here. It does not have to be exactly like this design here. Create your own design. It just has to be close to this one here. This design is for social media and not for printing. You will find the design size here 800 pixels in width and 1080 pixels in height. That's it. See you in the next video to create this design together. 15. Create First Homework: Hello and welcome to this video. In the former video, I have asked you to create a design as a homework. Now in this video, we will create it together. We start by creating a new file. We set the measurement unit to pixels. We set the width to 800 pixels, and the height to 1080 pixels. We will not print the design, so we don't need a bleed. We set it to zero. We select the RGB color mode, we set the razor effect to screen 72 pixels. And we click Create. This is our document. First thing we add is the background. We use the rectangle tool to draw a background shape like this. We paint it in light yellow. We name this layer background to keep everything organized. We remove its stroke and we lock it. It does not move. We add a new group, we name a design. Now we draw a rectangle here like this. We paint it in light blue. We s the top left dot on the rectangle. We hold shift and we select the top right one as well. Then we drag them to the inside of the shape to get this arc here. Now we add a box here. We paint it in this color. We sl the bottom right dot, we hold shift, and we select the bottom left one as well. We drag to the inside to get the shape. We put the shape here. We click here to center the shape. Now we will draw the plants. We use the pencil tool. We draw this line here. We paint it in this color. We select the selection tool, then we click on the space here, so that we don't edit this line here. Now we select the pencil tool again. The short cut for the selection tool is V. The short cut for the pencil tool is now we draw this line here, another here, and a third one here. Perfect. Now we will draw the leaves like this. Good. Now we paint the leaves. We want the same color we have here in the stroke. We just click here to switch the color from the stroke to the fill. We paint the rest of the leaves. If you want to change the color, double click on the fill and select the color you like. Now we use the ellipse tool to draw a circle here. We hold shift and we draw it here. We use the selection tool to put the circle here, and we painted in yellow, this is our sun, Here we are, This is our design. It may not be the exact same design we saw in the former video, but I did that intentionally because like I said before, you don't have to draw the same design. It's good to put your own personal touch in it. It just needs to be similar to the design I showed you so that you can use the same tools and techniques we saw in the former video. That's this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 16. The pen Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the pen tool. We use the pen tool to draw any shape we want. The pen tool is located right here in the tools bar. We write, click on it, and we get multiple tools here. The pentol is one of the most important tools in the illustrator. Now we selected, let's say that we want to draw a triangle here. We click using the pen tool to draw the first dot here. When we move the mouse, you can see we have a line connected to that dot. Now we put a second dot. Here we have another line. Now we go back to the first dot, and we connect the line with it to close the shape. Now we have our triangle. We go to the swatches window and we paint the triangle in any color we want. We can paint the stroke as well. We can edit our shape. Now we select the shape, and we click the lead to remove it. We draw another shape here we put the first dot here. We hold shift to add a straight line. We put the second dot here. We hold shift and we add another dot here. We keep going like this and we close the shape. This is the shape we got. This is the basic way to draw using the pen tool. Now we delete this shape slack the pen tool, we add a dot here, now we add a second dot here. But we click and drag down or up to set a curved line. Same thing here. We click to add the dot, and we drag up or down to set the curved line. When I get the curve I want, I release the mouse to add it. Now let's say that this is the shape I want, but as you can see, the tool is still active. We simply click Enter from the keyboard, and here we are. This is our shape. We can use the watches window to remove the fill and get this curved line here. Now this line contains three dots. These dots are what sets the shape or line. Now to add more dots to this shape, we put the mouse on top of the line. We will get a plus icon. Then we click on the line to add the dot. Same thing here, we hover over the line, we get the plus icon, and we added on the line. But if we want to delete the dot, we put the mouse on top of it, we will see a minus icon. Now we click on it to remove it. Same thing here. There is another way to do this, using the D anchor point tool. This way takes more time, but we will take a look at it. Nonetheless, we select the D anchor Point tool and we add the dots we want on the line. This is how we add more dots to our shape. To remove the dots, we select the Delete Anchor Point tool, and we click on the dots we want to remove. Now we go back to the Pen tool, we add a dot here and here. Now we will see how to edit and move these dots. We zoom in a bit, we hold command, and we click on the dot and drag it up or down to move it. Same thing here. We hold command and we drag the dot and put it wherever we want. We hold command for Mac and control for Windows. Now if you pay close attention, you will notice that each dot has this line here. We hold Alt and we use this line to edit the shape in here as well. We can edit it any way we like. If we want to edit both sides of the dot, we use the middle dot on the line. If we want to edit just one side, for example the right side, we use the right dot To edit the left side, we use the left dot on the line like this. Now we delete this shape, We draw a new shape. We put the first dot here, we add the second here, we drag to set this curved line. But now we want the next line to be straight. In here, we click on the last dot, and here are, the line is now straight. We add a straight line here. Now we add a curved line here. We click, and again we click on the last dot, and we draw a straight line here. This way we can draw any shape we want in here with curved or straight lines. We close the shape, we got this shape here. This is how we use the pen tool to draw shapes. In the next video, we will practice drawing shapes using the pen tool. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and LC you in the next video. 17. Pen Tool Exercise: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will apply what we learned in the former video about the pen tool. We have here an image of an apple. We will use it as a reference. We will draw this apple using the Pen tool. The image is included for you in the resources folder to see it. Now we go to file open. We locate the Apple image, and we open it. We zoom in on the apple. We select it, we go to Properties, and we decrease its opacity. The lines of the apple are very clear and it will interfere with the shape we will draw. We decrease its opacity to 33% We go back to the layers. We lock the image layer so it does not move while we are drawing. Now we add a new layer. We name it Apple. We zoom in a bit more. We select the Pin tool and we start drawing. We keep going along the lines of the apple. If we make a mistake, we click on the last dt to underwit. We keep going. Like I said, if we make a mistake with the curve, we click on the last dt to underwit and start anew one. We keep going and we close the shape. We paint the stroke to see it. We zoom in on it. We need to fix this spot here a bit. We add a dot, and we adjust the line in here as well. Good. Now out we paint the apple in red, For example, we remove the stroke. This part of the apple is done. Now we draw this part here. We zoom in on it. We can hold space and move the shape anywhere we want. Now we use the pen tool to draw the rest of the apple to work in a more effective way. It's better to deactivate the fill and activate the stroke. Now we close the shape, we activate the fill. We paint this part in brown. We have only the spot left. So we select the pencil and we draw it. You paint this spot in green. We go to the layers window, we pull this layer down. We zoom out. Here we are, we hide the apple image. Here we are. This is our apple with the stem and the leaf. This is just a small example of what we can do using the pentol. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 18. The Curvature Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the Curvature Tool. The Curvature Tool is similar to the pen tool. We use both of them to draw, but we use the Curvature tool differently. The Curvature Tool is located here on the tools bar we selected with the pen tool, we draw a straight line, then we drag to add a curve. But with the curvature tool, we draw a curve directly. Now we put a dot here, here we are. We got a curved line. Add a dot here and here to close the shape. Here we are, we got a circle. To draw a curved line. With the pen tool, we have to click, and Greg, but with the Curvature tool, we get a curved line automatically. Of course, we can move the dots to edit the shape. We can use the direct selection tool to edit each dot, edit the line. Now let's say that we want to draw a circle. We add a dot here, another here at the top, and the third one here. But now when I want to close the shape, I still get a curved line. But I want to draw a straight line to close the shape. It's simple. All I have to do is double click on the last dot. Now when I add a dot to close the shape, I get a curved line here, I simply double click on that dot as well. Here we are. We double click on the last dot to get a straight line instead of a curved one. Now let's draw an oval shape. For example, here we are. We got our oval shape. Like I said, the curvatory tool is very simple. It's like the pen tool. The only difference is that we draw curves with it much easier than with the pen tool. That saves us a lot of time and effort. In the next video, we will see how to use the curvatory tool to draw shapes. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 19. Curvature Tool Exercise: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create a simple design using the Curvature tool. We go to file open and we add the reference image. It's an image of an Avocado. And we will grow the avocado using the curvature tool. We zoom out a bit, We select the image, now we decrease its size. We hold shift plus old and we decrease its size. Now in next we go to the properties window. We select the image, we decrease its opacity. That the image does not interfere with the design we will create. Since we will draw using a stroke, and the avocado shape has a stroke. Now we go to the layers window and we lock the image layer. We activate the stroke. We paint it in black. Of course, you can select any color you like. Now we select the curvature tool, we add a new layer. We start drawing our Avocado. We put the first dot here. We will keep drawing by following the image we have here. Here we are. We have our curved line. Now when we add a dot here, you can see we have a space here. We will fix it later. We keep going. Since the shape we are drawing is curvy, it's very easy to draw it using the curvetory tool. We keep going. We have some space here as well. Now to fix it, we double click on this dot. On this dot as well. Here we are. The line is now straight. Same thing on the left side. We need to fix this line because it's inside the shape a bit. We add a new dot on the line here, and we drag it here to fix the line. Same thing here on the right side, Perfect. Now we draw the seed. We add a T here. Then here another here. We keep going until we close the shape perfect. Now we paint this part. We slk the fill, and we paint it in green. Now we will duplicate this shape. If we click Control plus C, then Control plus V, the shape will be duplicated here. But we don't want it here. We want it to be duplicated in the same place. We select the shape, we go to edit, and we select copy. We go back to edit, and we select Paste in front. Now the shape is duplicated in the same place, that's why we can see the second one. We paint this shape in yellow. We decrease its size. We hold shift and old. Then we decrease the size of the shape. We adjust it like this. We select the seed, we remove its stroke, we paint it in brown. We click okay. And here we are. We have our Avocado design. We hide the image layer, perfect. This is how we can create a simple design using the curvature tool. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 20. Second Homework: Hello and welcome to this video. It's time for simple homework. After all the techniques that we learned to row shapes in the illustrator, it's time to apply them. I would like you to create this design here. It does not have to be exactly like this. You can create a different design, just make sure that it's close to this one. Here, we will see how to create this design in the next video. If you want to use this image as a reference, it is included for you in the resources folder to use it. That's it. See you in the next video. 21. Create Second Homework: Hello and welcome to this video. In the former video, I gave you a homework. I asked you to create a design. Now in this video, we will create it together. Now we click on your file. We select the document size. The height is 1080 pixels and the width is 800 pixels. We set the orientation, we set the color mode to RGB color, the rest effects to screen 72, the design won't be printed. That's why we selected RGB color. Of course, you can select any document size you like. We click Create. We start our design by setting the background. We slack the rectangle tool and we add a rectangle covering the whole page. We paint it in sky blue. We deactivate the stroke, we lock this layer and we add another layer. We lock the background so that when we move an object, we don't move the background as well. We start by drawing the lower parts of the design. We zoom out slightly, we slack the pen tool, we put a T in here, another here, slightly higher. Then we click and drag like this to set a curved line. To remove the curve and get a straight line, we click on the last T like we saw before. We add a T here, another here, and we close the shape. We paint it in this color. We hold and adjust the curve slightly like this, perfect. We add another shape here. We put the first dot here. We add another here. We click and drag to add a curved line. We remove the field so that we can see the shape we are drawing in a better way. We click on the last dot to get a straight line. We add a curved line on the edge of the curved line we draw before we keep going like this, perfect. Now we click on the last dot and we close the shape like this. We activate the fil, double click on it and we change the color like this. Now we add another shape in here, perfect. We keep going like this. And we close the shape. We have a space between the two shapes. So we need to fix it. We adjust the shape slightly. We activate the fill, and we paint the shape in this color. We have some space here as well. So we fix it using the direct selection tool. We select a dot and we adjust the shape. Now we add another shape in here. We use the Eyedropper tool to copy this color, but we double click on it and we select a lighter shade. This is how to select a color and change its shade if you want. We draw the land. Now we draw the river. We draw a shape in here. We paint it in sky blue. Now we draw the river edge. We copy this shape. We select it, we go to, then again, and this time was left Paste in front. We select the direct selection tool and we adjust the shape like this. We zoom in to get a better look. We just the shape like this, perfect. We zoom in to see details in a better way. We changed the color slightly like this. We zoom out slightly to see the page better. Now we add another shape, we activate the fill. We use the Dropper tool to copy this color. We use the direct selection tool to edit this shape. Slightly like this. Now we will drove the mountains. We select the pen tool and we start drawing. Use the Eye Dropper tool to copy this color. We drove the next mountain. The next time we change the color shape in every shape to separate the shapes. Because if it's the same color, they will look like one big shape. One more shape left, we put it here. We keep it with this color. The shapes are a bit high, so we need to lower them slightly. We select all the shapes, and we lower them like this. Now we select the bottom shape. We use the direct selection tool, and we adjust it like this to fit the page. Now we have a space in here. We use the pen tool to draw a background for the mountain shapes like this. You can see the bottom of this shape is not perfect. That's because this shape will be behind, the bottom part of it will not be visible. We open the layer, we slip the shape layer and we pull it all the way down here. Now it's in the back. We hide the parts of the shape outside here by going to view, and we select trim View. Now any part outside the page will be trimmed. We select this shape, we copy the sky color, we paint it in that color. We change the color shape slightly perfect. Now we will draw the sun using the elapse tool. We draw an even circle in here. We copy the color using the eye dropper tool. We change the color slightly. We put it in the back by lowering its layer down here. We pull the sun up a bit perfect. We will add the clouds. We use the pencil to draw them in here. It's a random shape, you paint it in white, or we can use the Ellos tool to draw a circle in here. We hold Alt and we drag the circle here to duplicate it. We duplicate it multiple times to create a cloud like this. Now we select all the circles. We go to the path finder window, and we click here to merge the circles into one shape. These are two different ways to draw clouds. We put the cloud here, we hold shift, and we decrease its size slightly. Now we will drow the wind mid, we close the layer, and we add a new one. We select the rectangle tool, we draw a rectangle in here. We use the direct selection tool to adjust the rectangle like this. We hold shift and we increase the rectangle size slightly. We put it here. We use the pen tool to draw this shape. Here we paint it in brown. Now we draw the door using the rectangle tool. We add a rectangle in here, We zoom in on it. We select the top right dot, we hold shift, and we select the top left dot, and we lower them like this. We already saw how to do this. Before we set the color to a darker shade, we zoom out. Now we will draw the fan. We draw it anywhere, and then we move it to the mill. We draw this rectangle here. We draw a line in here. We zoom in slightly. We hold shift, and we select both shapes. We merge them together into one shape. Select the Rotate tool. We hold Alt and we click here. We get this window. We set the angle to 90 degrees. We click copy. Now we click control plus D twice to duplicate the shape like this. Here we are. We have our fan now We hold shift and we slick all the shapes. We decrease their size slightly. Then we put them right here. We rotate them like this, perfect. It's a bit small, so increase the fence size slightly. That's better. We can draw a road leading to the door like this. Paint it in white. Now we would draw some trees in here. We open a new layer. We use the pencil to draw this line like this. We zoom in for a better look. We paint the line in black. Now we will draw the branches. We don't start drawing directly over this line. We click V to select the selection tool. Then we click outside the page to remove the selection. Now we click in to select the pencil tool again and withdraw the branches. Now the lines do not interact and we can draw freely. We activate the stroke and withdraw the branches. We adjust the lines to put them alongside the tree trunk line. We can move them using the keyboard arrows. Now we row the leaves like this. We remove the stroke, we paint the fill in this color. Now we open this layer and we lower this layer to the bottom to show the lines and make the tree look like this. We can select a darker shade, that's better. We can adjust the tree if we want. We zoom in. We select the curvature tool. We use these dots here to adjust the shape. You can adjust them anyway you like. Now we zoom out. We select the whole tree from here, and we put it right here. Then we decrease its size slightly. We open the tree layer, we select all the layers inside it. We click a man plus sheet to add them to a single group. Then we hold Alt, and we drag the tree here to duplicate it. Now each tree is in a separate group so that we can adjust each one separately later. If we want, we duplicate the tree again, and we put it right here. We hold shift and we increase its size. We rotated slightly because the closed shapes always look bigger. Now we duplicate this tree. We put it here. We open its layer. We select the leaf layer and we change its color. We use the eye dropper tool to copy this color. We zoom in on this tree. We select the leaf layer. We use the curvature tool to just the shape. We change this tree so that the trees look different. Every tree is different. Of course, we can't create every tree. That will take a lot of time and effort. We create just one and we duplicate it, but we make small adjustment to each tree to separate it from the others. In case you don't want a, just select it and click the lead to remove it. We can adjust the branches as well. We remove this one entirely. We row one more leaf. We can throw it anywhere we want. We paint it in this color. We add a line in the middle of the leaf. We paint it in white. We zoom in on the leaf. We select the leaf and the line layer. Then we click and plus to put them in a single group, we zoom out. We select the leaf and we put it on the bottom left corner, right here. We hold old, and we drag it here to duplicate it. We rotate this one, then we put it right here. We duplicate it again. We rotate this one and we put it here. We select the middle leaf layer and we change its color. We paint it in this color. It's the same color, just a lighter shape. We select the right leave, we select its layer. We painted in a darker shade to separate the leaves like this. This is the final look of our design. This is how we create this design. It may have took a lot of time to create it, but this is how we draw. As you can see, we did not add too many details to the design. If you want, you can add more details. For example, more trees in here or anything you want. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 22. Burger Design: Hello and welcome to this video. After we have learned to use the drawing tools tools like the pen tool, the curvature tool, and more. It's time to create a professional design. We will create this design here from scratch. The resources folder, you will find this drawing of a burger. We will turn it into this. We start by creating a new page. I chose this size, 792 points in width and 612 in height with a landscape orientation. You can use this size or any size you like when you are creating a design for your company or for clients. Then you will need to select the proper size. Now we can create, we add the burger photo. We adjust it with the page like this. We name this layer drawing. Now we add a new layer. If we draw over this layer, the burger drawing will be covered. But we want it to stay visible, because we want to draw our design based on this image here. Take a look, for example, we draw a circle here. We paint it in any color, in red, for example. And as you can see, the shape is covering the drawing. To fix this, we pull the drawing layer to the top. But now we have another problem. The shape we drew, the circle, is now gone. The drawing is now covering it. To fix this, we select the rowing layer. Then we go to Properties to Opesity, select multiply in here. Here we are. We can see the drawing even though it's under the shape. Now we go back to the Layers menu, and we lock the drawing layer. We remove the circle we drew, because this was just to show you what we needed to do. Now we start, we zoom in slightly. We select the curvature tool and we draw the top part of the burger. We use the currtter tool because it's a curved shape. We're just a shape like this, perfect. You can use the pen tool as well to draw the shape if you want. Now we draw the next part. We select the selection tool, we collect outside the shape to remove the selection. Then we select the pen tool, We use it to draw this part of the burger. Now the part ends here, and we need to close the shape. Should we keep drawing this line here? No, not necessarily, because this part will be hidden behind the top shape. We are drawing the letters and it will be under the top band. It's okay to close the shape like this. We painted in green. By the way, I made a mistake. I should set the colors to RGB. I go to file Document Color mode, and I select RGB color Perfect. We change the tab Bun color. This is the natural color of bread. Now we just lower the lettuce layer below the bun layer. Here we are. We can only see this part of the lettuce. The order of objects is very important as well. Now we will grow the tomatoes. We will use the elapse tool. We add the circle here. We paint it in red. We zoom in, and we set it like this. Now we pull the circle here, we hide the drawing layer we hold old. And we drag the circle here to duplicate it. We put the second circle layer below the first one, and we paint the second circle in a darker shade. Now we right to collect on the pen tool and the ad anchor point tool. We add an anchor point here and another here. We zoom in, We adjust this anchor point like this, the one on the right. Now we adjust the one on the left as well. Now we adjust the one on the left. Like this. We are, we got a three D shape. Now we select the whole shape, right click on it and we select Group. So the drawing back, we put the tomato shape here. We duplicate the tomato and we put it right here. Now we put the right tomato layer below the left one. Then we select both tomato layers, and we lowered them to put them under the lettuce. This is our design so far. Now we will draw the cheese, of course, using the penule. Same thing here, we follow the drawing. We just close the shape because these parts will not be shown. We paint the shape in yellow and we put its layer at the bottom. Here we are. Now we will grow the meats. We use the LF tool to draw a circle like this. We change the shapes color. We will do the same thing we did with the tomatoes. We hide the drawing. We lower the circle here, we duplicate it. We put it here. We paint this shape in a light shade. The shapes on top are always in a light shade because the light is shining on them. Now we zoom in and we use the add anchor point tool to add two anchor points, one here and one here. Then we use the direct selection tool to adjust them like this. We zoom out, we select the whole shape, right click on it, and we select Group to move the whole shape. We bring the drawing back. We lower the shape layer to the bottom, and we put the meat shape in here. Now we will draw another lettuce piece Using the pencil, we close the shape and to hide the parts, we put the shape layer at the bottom perfect. Now we will row the lower parts of the ban using the pensule. We close the shape, we change the shape color, and we lower its layer to the bottom perfect. Here we are. This is our design so far, we still have more to do. So that's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video to continue our work. 23. Add Details to Burger Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In the last video, we created this burglary design. Now we will add more details to it to make it look better and more professional. We no longer need the drawing, so we hide it. The first thing we will do is to add strokes to the shapes, the whole design. As you can see, we get this question mark here, because each shape has a different color. Now we slick the stroke, we click on color, we paint the stroke in black, and we increase its size. Now we add more details. We zoom in, select the top ban. Now there are many ways to add light and shadow. The way I is not the only one. You can follow me and use my way or use your own way. We select the ban, we go to Edit, Copy, then edit again. And we select Paste In front, we paint this one in a darker shade. Then we use the crevetor tool to adjust the shape like this. Perfect. We remove the stroke from this shape. We adjust it like this to show the stroke of the shape behind it. We zoom in here, we're just the shape like this. To make sure that we set the shape perfectly, just the shape like this in here as well. We duplicate this shape again. We paint it in a shape that is lighter than this one and darker than the first shape. And we use the curvature tool to adjust the shape like this. We can adjust its color slightly. That's better. We'll remove its stroke. We adjust the shape slightly from here. Perfect. Now we add a light effect in here using the pen tool, we row this shape here. We painted in a lighter shade. As you can see, the burger looks better. Now, next we'll add the sesame seeds. I am drawing it in this size so that you can get a good look at it. Here it is. Now we duplicate it. We put it here. We use the dropper tool to paint this seed with this color. We put one seat over the other. Like this. We sl the lower seed. We hold shift and we select the top one. The night click, and we select the group. Now we can move both of them. We decrease the size of the seed. We duplicate it multiple times. Who puts each seat in a different position with different sizes? We keep going like this, and here we are. The top pan is completed with all the details we need. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video to keep working on our design. 24. Add more Details to Burger Design: Hello and welcome to this video. We keep working on our design. Next we will add some details to the lettice. We use the creveture tool to adjust the shape slightly. Now we will draw the shadow in here using the pen tool like this. Again, we close the shape normally like this, because this parts will be hidden. Next, we paint these parts in a darker shade because things in shadows are normally darker than those in the light. We remove the stroke from this shape and we lower its layer down here, below the B and over the ledges. Now we will add some light details in here. You zoom in and we got the shape here. We paint it in a lighter color shade to look like a light reflection. We add the same shape here and here as well. We add a smaller one in here. Perfect. As you can see, this part of the burger looks better. We have a shadow in here and a light reflection in here. Now we move to the tomatoes. We will add the inside part of the tomato like we have right here. We will not add all these details, just some minor ones, because the inside part of the tomato will not be totally visible. We need just part of it. We draw this shape here. We close the shape. We lower its layer here between the tomato slices layers. We painted in red using the eye dropper tool, but we decrease its shade slightly and we remove its stroke. Here we are, it looks better. Now, I added this shape here because this is the visible part. You can put it anywhere you want or adjust it anyway you like. This part of the tomato here is not visible. We save time and efforts by adding details only in the parts we can see. We will do the same to the other tomato slice. We drove this shape here. We close the shape, we lower its layer here, and here we are. Next we add some light reflection to the tomatoes as well. We zoom in here, and we row this shape here. We add more shapes in here. No zooming on them and we adjust them. We make sure that we put them perfectly like this. This part here is curvy. We use the curvature tool to add a Dt in here. And we adjust the shape. We add another dot down here and we adjust the shape. Now we hold shift and we select all three shapes. We decrease their opacity to 55% We will add the same light reflection to the other tomato slice. We zoom in, and we use the pen tool to draw the shapes. We zoom in on the shapes a bit more, and we adjust them to make sure that everything is perfect. Because it creates a professional design, you need to pay attention to the details there in the more details we can see and create. When you add a Dt to adjust the shape, make sure to d it on the shapes path perfect. Now we sl all three shapes and we decrease their opacity. We can select each shape and adjust its opacity separately, but we select all of them at once to save time and effort. As you can see, the more details we add, the better the design looks. Now we add a shadow to the cheese slice, like we did with the lettuce. We draw this shape here we close the shape. We put its layer on top of the cheese layer. We remove its stroke, we paint it in a darker shape, perfect to add a shadow effect. Next we go to the meat. We draw this shape here, We put the shape layer on top of the meat layer. We remove its stroke, and we paint it in the same color as the meat, just in a darker shade. Then we use the curvature tool to adjust it slightly like this. I covered the meat shaped stroke, so I need just to shape like this to show the stroke back. Now we add some details to the second lattice piece. Now we draw the shadow shape on the lattice piece. We close the shape, we lower its layer down here. Then we use the eyedropper tool to paint the shape with the same color we used for the shadow on the top lattice piece. Only the lower parts of the bond left. We will do the same we did to the top part. Duplicate it. We paint this one with this color and we adjust it like this using the Curvature tool. We delete these dots. We slick dot and we click delete. We zoom in and we adjust the shape like this. Now we duplicate the lower parts of the bun again, we paint it in this color. And we use the curvature tool to adjust the shape like this. We pull the shape up a bit to show the stroke perfect. As you can see, the burger now looks a lot better with all these details. We will add a shadow here. We draw the shape we painted in black and we put its layer at the bottom. We put the shape here and we lower its opaesity, like I said, first we draw the design, then we add the details. And it's the details that make the design look professional. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video to add the designs background. 25. Create Burger Design Background: Hello and welcome to this video. We have completed the burger design. Now in this video, we will add the background, we close this group, and we add a new layer. We put it below. We add a rectangle covering the whole page. We paint it in this color. Then we close its layer. We select the burger design. Let's click on it, and we select the group. Then we duplicate it. We hide the original layer. We select the copy, and we paint the whole design in the background color. We paint its stroke in black. Here we are. Now we decrease the size of the burger. We put it here, lower its layer below the original burger layer. And we show the burger. Now we duplicate the small burger multiple times and we put it all over the background. We rotate each one differently. Perfect. As you can see, these burgers are outside the design page. Now we have two ways to fix this. A temporary solution and a final one. We use the final solution when we want to export the design. Now we will use the temporary solution. We go to View and we select Trim View. We are everything or anything outside the page will be trimmed. But when we export the design like this, the outside parts will show. We remove the trim view. Now we export the design and we see the final solution. We unlock the background layer, we remove the fill and the stroke. Then we add a rectangle here covering the whole page without fill or stroke. Then we use the selection tool to select everything, the whole design. Then right click and we select Make Clipping mask. Here we are. Everything is inside the rectangle we drew. When we export the design, it will look exactly like this. We can select all these burger shapes, We select the top one, we hold shift, and we select the last one to select all of them. We decrease their opacity slightly like this here. This is the final look of our burger design. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 26. second week : In the second week, you will learn multiple tips and tricks that will save you a lot of time and effort. Tricks like duplicating shapes with a single button and creating shapes using the reflect technique. You will also learn to use the Pathfinder menu to merge multiple shapes and create advanced shapes. We will also see how to add images to the software and turn them into shapes, and how to edit them, and even how to mask them into any shape we create. We will take a look at multiple tools tools like the Warp tool, the Twirl tool, and a lot more. You will learn to use colors, paint shapes, add and write text, edit it, and add effects to it, Use paint brushes. And how to create effects effects like the transform effect, the blend effect, the glass effect, and a lot more. You will also learn to create TD designs in the software and how to add texture to your objects and how to set the lighting to create professional designs. 27. Smart Guides and Rulers: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the smart guides and the rulers features. We start by drawing a box in here. We hold shift and we draw the box. You can see that we have a purple line in the middle of the box. This is one of the smart guides in the software. Now we paint the box in green, for example. You can paint it in any color you like. We select the selection tool. Now let's say that we want to duplicate this box. To duplicate it, we hold Alt and drag the shape Here. You can see we got a smart guide here telling us that the centers of the two boxes are vertically aligned. It shows us the distance between them. If we move the shape here, the smart guide is gone. We put it back here. The smart guide shows again. Now we duplicate the shape Again, we have a smart guide telling us that the distance between each box is the same. This is very important and it helps us to organize our design effortlessly. These are some of the smart guides we have. Now we delete these shapes, we take a look at the rulers. The rulers are located here. Here we have the rulers right here. And we check show rulers, We have horizontal rulers on top. Here we click and drag them. To add a horizontal ruler, we can add as many rulers as we like on the left. Here we have vertical rulers. Same thing. We click and drag to add a vertical ruler. And like I said, we can add as many rulers as we like. As you can see, the distance between each ruler is different. To set the same distance between each ruler, we select all the horizontal rulers. And we align them by clicking here. Same thing for the vertical rulers. We select them, and this time we click here. Now we have the same distance between each ruler. And we can always add more rulers. And we align them. We add more vertical rulers as well. We select them and we align them. Now, what are the rulers for exactly? We select the pin tool and we drow this shape here. As you can see, the rulers helps us determine the size of the shape that we want to draw. We activate the stroke for the shape, we paint it in black. We increase the stroke size to see it in a better way. Here it is. We can use the rulers to draw even shapes. To remove this shape, we select it and we click Delete from the keyboard. Let's draw another shape like this. We add to the shape like this. Of course, this is just an example of what we can do. We use the rulers and the pin tool to draw any shape we want in here. Like I said, the rulers helps us to draw even shapes to remove the rulers. We select them and we click the leads to hide the rulers. We go to window rulers and we check hide rulers. Here are the Argon etcetera. This video, thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 28. How to duplicate Objects: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to duplicate shapes. We select the ellas tool, we hold shift, and we draw a small circle in here. We paint the circle in any color we like, for example, green. Now, we already saw how to duplicate objects this way. We hold Alt and we drag the shape to duplicate it. You can see we get a smart guide telling us that the centers of both shapes are aligned, and it shows us the distance between them. We duplicate this circle again, and this time we get a different guide. It shows us the distance between each shape. But what if we have multiple shapes that we want to duplicate? Duplicating each one separately will take a lot of time and effort. It's very simple. We duplicate this circle, we put the second one here. Now we just click Command plus D for Mac, or Control plus D for Windows. Here we are. The shape is duplicated automatically. Now we delete these shapes. We put the circle here. We zoom out slightly so that we can see the whole page perfect. Now we hold Alt, and we drag the shape down here to duplicate it. Then command plus D, or Control plus D, and here we are, the shape is duplicated. Now command plus D or control plus D does not duplicate shapes. It simply repeat the last move with it. For example, we delete these shapes. We put the circle in the middle. We hold shift plus alt, and we increase the size of the circle like this. Now we hold shift and we decrease the size of the circle slightly like this. Now when we command plus D, or control plus D, the circle keeps getting smaller. Because like I said, the software repeats the last move we did. Let's draw a polygon in here. We activate its stroke. We paint it in black. We increase the stroke size. We rotate it slightly like this. Now we hold and drag the shape diagonally like this. When we click Command plus D, or Control plus D, the software repeats the last move we did. This is just to show you that we can duplicate shapes vertically, horizontally, and diagonally as well. This is how we can duplicate objects multiple times very easily. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 29. How to align Shapes: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to align shapes. We start by adding multiple shapes in here. For example, these three rectangles. Now let's say that we want to align these shapes. There are two ways to do so. The first way is using the alignment buttons in here. The second way we go to the window and we activate the align window, Here it is. We can add the align window here to use it whenever we want. Now to align these shapes, we use the selection tool to select them. To align the shapes, we click on any Align button. For example, here, let me adjust the size of this rectangle to get a better look at the Align process. That's better. We select the three shapes. We click on horizontal line left to align the shapes to the left, we click on horizontal line right to align the shapes to the right. Of course, we click on horizontal line center to align them to the center. Now we put the shapes here. We click on Vertical line Center. To align the shapes like this. We can use the vertical line bottom to align them from the bottom like this. And of course, we click on Vertical Align Top to align them from the top. Now we take a look at the space between the aligned shapes. For example, we sit the space between the shapes like this, We select them and we click on Horizontal Distribute Center. This way we adjust the space between the shapes like this. We can adjust the space to the right and to the left. We put the shapes vertically. We select them the same thing here. We adjust the space between the shapes. We can align the shape to the center, to the top, and to the bottom. Of course, you have asked yourself, we are aligning the shape to the center, but it's still not in the center. There is a different space between the shapes, and that's because the shapes are not in the same size. Again, you ask yourself, does the shapes need to be in the same size in order to set the space between them perfectly? Of course not. We select the shapes and we go to Distribute Spacing. We click on Vertical Distribute Space, and here we are. We have the same space between the shapes, even though the shapes are in different sizes, same thing horizontally. We select the shapes. If we click here, we don't get the same space. We click on Horizontal Distribute Space. Here we are. We have the same space between each shape. Now we remove these two shapes. We duplicate the middle one twice to get three shapes in the same size. We put them here. We rearrange them like this. We select them now when we click on Horizontal Distribute Center, we have the same space between the shapes because the shapes are in the same size. Now, same thing vertically. We put the shapes here like this. We select them, and we click on Vertical Distribute Center. Like I said, if we have different size shapes, we use the Distribute spacing tools to set the space between the shapes. Let's delete these shapes. We leave this one only. We have two tools, align to selection and align to art board. We select a line to art board, we select the shape. Now the shapes will be aligned to the art board. We duplicate the shape. We center the shape. As you can see, the shape was aligned to the center of the page. We center it both horizontally and vertically. To put it right in the center of the page, we align it to the right and to the left, to the top and to the bottom. When we select the align to artboard tool, the shapes will be aligned based on the art board. But if we select a line to selection, the shapes are aligned based on the selection or to the selection. We delete these shapes. We add a circle here. We add a smaller circle next to it. We change the color of the circle. Now we will see how to align the small circle to the middle of the bigger one. We select both shapes, we click on horizontal line center. But as you can see, the circle is not perfectly in the middle. We need to click on a vertical line center as well. Now the circle is centered. As you saw, the big circle was brought to the small circle. Now instead, for whatever reason, I want the big circle to stay put and the small one to be brought to it and put in its center. To do so, we select the shapes and we click on the shape that will stay put, in this case the big circle. When we select the shape, you can see this blue line around it. Now when we click on horizontal aligned center, the small circle is brought to the big one. We click on vertical aligned center to put the circle perfectly in the middle. We duplicate the circles. For example, we put these two circles here. We select all shapes, we align them to the top. This is what happens. The circles in the middle are aligned to the top. Of course, we don't want that, we go back. We need to set these shapes as a single group. That the circles move together and not each one separately. We select these two circles and we click command plus G. Now the two circles are a single group as you can see here. Same thing. We select the other two circles and we click Command plus G. Here we are. We have two groups here. Now when we select them and we click on a vertical align top, the circles are aligned like this. Wherever we put them, the small circles stay in the middle. This is how we can align shapes in different ways in the Illustrator software that's set for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 30. The Reflect Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to rotate shapes and objects. We start by selecting the polygon tool. We hold Shift and we draw the polygon here. Of course, you can draw any shape you like. Now we put the shape in the center. We select the rotate tool, we click on the shape and we drag down to rotate it like this, Or we can click on the selection tool. We can see the rotate tool around the shape. And we use it to rotate the shape like this. Like I said, we can click on the shape and rotate it like this if we want. Now to rotate the shape in a precise way, we double click on the rotate tool. We get this window and we set the angle. For example, we type 90. You can check the preview option to get a preview of the result. Now we click okay to apply the change. Here we are. The shape was rotated. Now we hide the fill, leaving only the stroke. We increase the stroke size. We double click on the rotate tool. We set the angle to 45 degrees. Now instead of clicking okay, we click Copy To get a copy of the shape. We delete the second shape. Now we slk the shape, we activate the fill, we select the rotate tool. When we rotate the shape, it's rotated like this. Because the anchor point is set to the center of the shape. If we put it here, for example, when we rotate the shape, it rotates like this. Now the shape always rotates around the anchor point. Wherever it may be, we put it here. It rotates like this. While selecting the rotate tool, Wherever you click the anchor point is set there, we can put the anchor point outside the shape. And when we rotate the shape, it will rotate around the anchor point like this. This is how we can rotate shapes. Now we delete this shape. We select the Ellas tool. We hold shift, and we draw a circle. Here, we draw another one. Here we slk the top circle. We slk the Rotate tool. We hold Alt, and we click on the center of the lower circle. We get the rotates window. Now we set the angle to 30 degrees. We click Copy. Here we are. We got a copy of the shape 30 degrees from the original one. Now we click Control plus D, or Command plus D for Mac to repeat the last move with it. We keep going. Here, we get this shape here. Now we delete these shapes. We use the pencil to draw this shape. Here we are. We select the Rotate tool, we hold Alt, and we click here. We set the angle to 30 degrees, and we click Copy. Here we are, now we click Command plus D, or Control plus D for Windows. We keep going like this, and here we are. We got this shape of a flower. We can create shapes like this using the Rotate tool as you sell. Now we will take a look at the reflect tool. We draw a circle here, we select the reflect tool we hold old and we put the anchor point here we get the reflect window. From here, we select if we want to add a horizontal or a vertical reflection, we select horizontal. Here it is. We don't click okay. We click Copy to set the reflection. Here we are. Like I said, we can set a horizontal and vertical reflection. You can set the angle we want, and then we click Copy or Okay, dependent on what we want. Now I will show you a cool trick that can help you save time and effort. We put a ruler here. Make sure to activate the rulers from the window menu. We use the pentool to draw this shape. Here we activate the fill and we paint the shape in any color we want. Now we select the reflect tool, we hold Alt, and we put the anchor point here on the ruler. We get the reflect window. We st, quickly copy, here we are. We got the rest of the shape easily like this. This way we can grow only half the shape we want. And we use the reflect tool to get the other half. This saves us a lot of time and effort. Like I said, that's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 31. Pathfinder: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the Path finder window. First we show the window. We go to the window menu. We check Path Finder, Here it is, right here. Now we draw a box in here and a circle in here. We paint the circle in a different color yellow. For example, we put the circle over the box here. We select both of them. We hold Alt and we drag them to duplicate them. We duplicate them three times. Now we select the top two shapes. As you can see, we have here the shaped modes and the pathfinders. In the shaped modes, we have the United Mode. It's the most important mode. We use it to unite or merge shapes. The two shapes are selected. We click on the United Mode, and here we are. The two shapes are united. Now we go back using command plus, or control plus z. We duplicate the circle, we put it here. Now we have two circles and a box in here. We select all of them. We click Unite, and here we are. We use the United Mode to merge multiple shapes together. Now we take a look at the second mode. We select the two shapes, we click on the minus front mode. Here we are. The shape in front is gone, and the part of the back shape that the front shape was covering is gone as well. Next we have the Intersect mode. We select the two shapes, we click on Intersect, and here we are. This mode keeps only the parts where the two shapes intersect at, and deletes the rest. We take a look at another example. We add a new circle. We add another one. We change the color of the circle. We put the circle on top of the other one. Here we select both of them. We click Intersect. Here we are. We keep only the parts where the two circles intersect. The fourth mode that we have here is the exclude mode. The exclude mode is the opposite of the intersect mode. It deletes the parts where the two shapes intersect and keeps the rest. This part right here, we click here we are. These are the shaped modes. Now we take a look at the pathfinders. We delete these shapes, we draw a circle in here. We draw a star as well. We paint the star in a different color. We put it over the circle here. First we have here the divide tool. Let me duplicate this shape first, Perfect. Now we select both shapes. We click divide. Now the shape is divided into multiple parts. But we can't see it, because the shape is in a group. To ungroup it, we click Shift plus Command plus for Mac, and Shift plus Control plus for Windows. Here we are. Each part is in a single layer and we can put each part anywhere we want. This tool helps us to divide shapes. Now we delete these shapes, we move to the next tool. We zoom in on the shape. As you can see, these shapes, strokes, intersect with each other in a certain point. We use this tool to hide them. We go back, you can see the stroke. We click on this tool, and here we are. It's gone. Now we delete these shapes. We use the round rectangle tool to draw these two rounded rectangles. In here, we change the color of this rectangle. We slk the two shapes. We click on the merged tool to merge them together. Command plus Z to go back or control plus Z for Windows. We change the color of this rectangle. We select both of them and we click on Merge. Here we are. The two shapes are merged together. Now we take a look at the crab tool. The crab tool removes the outer parts of the shapes and keeps only the parts where the two shapes intersect at. It's exactly like the intersect mode we have here. We select the two shapes, we click Crop. Here we are. Now we take a look at the outline tool. This tool removes the fill of the shapes and keeps only the outline we have here. The minus back tool, It's the opposite of the minus front tool. The minus front tool removes the part of the front shape that's on the back shape. The minus back tool removes the part of the back shape from the front one. We duplicate these shapes, we slk the shapes, we click on Minus front. Here we are. The part of the back shape that was covered with the front shape is deleted. Now these two shapes, we click minus back, and here we are. The parts of the front shape that covers the back shape is deleted. These two tools are opposite of each other. This is the path finder window and all its tools. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 32. The Shape Builder Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the Shape Builder tool. We use this tool to draw shapes and it's a very important tool that we can use to draw logos and a lot more. We start by activating the stroke and removing the fill. This is just so that we can get a good look at the shapes. Now we draw a circle in here. We hold shift and we draw the circle to draw an even circle. Now we hold and drag the circle down here to duplicate it. We duplicate it again. We put the second one here. Now we select all circles. We select the shape builder tool. Like I said, we use the tool to build shapes. When we hover over this part, you can see that we get the plus icon. If we click and drag to these parts here, all the parts are combined to create this shape. Now we click a man plus to go back. Same thing, we click on this part and we combine it with this one. Now if we hold old, you can see we get the minus icon. We click on this part and it's gone. Same thing here, we hold old, we click on this part, we drag to this one as well. Here we are. The selected parts are deleted, we go back. Now we will build a shape using these three circles. For example, we hold old and we remove these parts. Now we combine these parts. Here we have a new shape. We paint it in blue for example. Or purple perfect. Now let's take a look at another example. We delete this shape. We draw a circle in here. Like I said, we hold shift to draw an even circle. We remove its fill. We draw another circle over this one right here. We select the two shapes. We used a line window to center the circle like this. We put the replicas here. Now we duplicate the two circles. Now we select all the shapes. We select the shape builder tool, we hold Alt, and we delete these parts. Here we are. We get this shape here. Like I said, we can use the Shape Builder tool to create logos and a lot more. For example, we use the Shape Builder tool to merge these parts. Here we paint this part in blue and this one in yellow. Here we are, we got a simple logo. This is how we use the Shape Builder tool to build shapes and logos. As you can see, it's a very easy and simple tool. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 33. Third Homework: Hello and welcome to this video. It's homework time. After all that we have learned in the former videos, you have all that it takes to create a design like the one we have here. I would like you to give it a go and try to create this design here. Of course, I will see you in the next video to create this design together. That's it. And see you in the next video. 34. Create Third Homework: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create the homework design together. Now, there are many ways to create this design, but for us we will follow this way. We slick the rectangle tool, we hold shift, and we draw a box in here. We remove its stroke, we drag the corner to make the box edges rounded like this. Now we duplicate the box. We go to it, we select copy, we go back to Edit, and this time we select Paste. In front, we change the color of this box to separate it from the other one. Now we hold Shift plus old, and we decrease its size like this to decrease its size in the same place inside the other box like this. Now we select both shapes. We show the path finder window. We already talked about the path finder window. Now we click on minus Front to remove the front shape from the back one. We got this shape here. Now we rotate it. Double click on the rotate tool. We set the angle to 45 degrees. We click okay, here we are. We hold shift and we decrease the shape size slightly perfect. Now we hold and Ak to the left to duplicate the shape. We put it here. We duplicate the shape again, and this time we put the third shape in here, perfect. We paint each shape differently. Now we need to make the shapes intersect with each other. We select all shapes. We select the shape builder tool, and we select these parts here. Now the shapes intersect with each other. We change the color of the first shape. You can paint it in any color you like. I will go with this one. We change the color of the next shape. This shape has two parts, so we hold shift and we select both parts. Then we change the color. Now we change the color of the last shape here. This is our design. As you can see, the shapes look like they are inside each other. This is how we create this design, and we use these tools and techniques to design a logo or whatever we want. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 35. The Stroke: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll talk about the stroke and how to edit it in details. We start by adding a shape in here. We add a circle. We hold shift and we draw to draw an even circle. Now this shape has two parts, the fill and the stroke. To activate the stroke, we select it from here. To hide it, we click on None. And to bring it back, we click on Color. And double click on it. To change its color, we paint it in this color. For example, of course, you can select any color you like. We can't see the stroke. We go up here and we increase its size. We can increase or decrease its size. We can select size from here as well. We can even select the number here. And we use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease its size. This is how we show the stroke and how to adjust its size. We can click on gradients here to set a gradient color for the stroke. We get this window and we set the colors. For example, we slk this color, and this one as well have three options here. We have apply gradients alone. Stroke, apply gradients across stroke. And apply gradients within stroke. Now we go back to solid color. To adjust the stroke Further, we click on Stroke in here to show the stroke panel. Or we go to Properties. We click on Stroke to show the stroke panel in here. First string we have here is the cap. We use it at the edges of the stroke, we have a circle, so we can see the edges. We add a line in here. We go back to the cap setting. We sl round cap, here we are. The stroke edges are now rounded. We zoom in on the stroke. Here we are. Now we select projecting cap, here we are. The edges are now sharp and the line is inside the stroke. If we select the butt cap, the line will extend outside. We put the line up here. We add a rectangle in here. We go to the stroke panel. To the corner setting, we click on round Join the stroke corners are now rounded. If we click here, the stroke corner looks like this. Next we have the aligned stroke setting. We use it to align the stroke to this line. Now the stroke is aligned to the center of the line. If we click on Align Stroke to the inside, the stroke will be aligned inside of the line. We click here to align the stroke outside the line. Of course, we click on Align to Center. To align the stroke to the center of the line. Next we have the dash line setting. We check it to activate it. In here we have the size. In here we have the gap size. It's the size of the gap between each sh. We set it to 30, for example, here we are. We have a gap between each sh. We set the Sh size 240, for example. Here we are. We can add another sh. We set it to 25. For example, here we are. We got a second set of dishes by this size. We set the gap to 15. Here it is. We add another set of dishes. We set it to 50. Add the gap to 20. Here we are. We can set the dash size and the gap size between each dash. Now we remove all these ones. We keep only the first dash and gap. Now we have two settings. In here, we have aligned dashes to corners and path ends, and we have preserved exact and gap lengths. This option aligned the dashes to the corners and to path ends, making them appear organized. While this setting align the dashes based on the length of the gap between them and the dishes appear different in each corner. Because the priority is to preserve the same length between each, We select one of these settings based on the results we want. Now we select this line. We go back to the stroke panel. Next we have here the arrowhead setting. We use it to change the line heads into arrows. We have here so many different arrow types to choose from. For example, this arrow, here we are. The line head is now an arrowhead. We can set it to both sides. One side will be the arrowhead and the other will be the arrow end. Let me pull this box down here. We go back and we can set the arrowhead side from here, decrease it or increase it. Same thing. We can use the arrows to adjust the size or select the size and use the mounts wheel to adjust it. Same thing for the other side, and we can click here to reverse the arrow. In here we have the profile setting. We use it to change the line's shape. We remove the arrow heads to get a good look at the line. As you can see, we have here different shapes to choose from. We remove this shape, we pull the line up here, and we draw a new box in here. We increase its stroke size. We go back and we change the stroke profile. The box now looks like this. We have multiple profiles to choose from. We can change the profile from here as well. In here we have the brush definition. We set the profile back to uniform. We change the stroke into a brush. We have here multiple brush types to choose from. We can click here. We select open brush library. We have here more brushes sets to choose from. For example, we select decorative scatter. Here we are. We get a brush set and we can select any brush type we want. Like I said, we can select any brush set from here, we can set the stroke opacity. From here, we increase the stroke size a bit to get a good look at it. We decrease its opacity like this. We can set it anyway we like. That's all about the stroke. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 36. The Width Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll take a look at the wit tool. Now we draw a straight line in here. We duplicate it twice. We use the width tool to adjust the stroke. For example, we want to change the width of the stroke from one side so that one side is bigger than the other. We slick the width tool to increase the stroke width. We click on this dot and we drag outside the stroke. To decrease the strokes width, we drag to the inside like this. Here we are. One side is small and the other is big. Now we zoom in on this side. Same thing here. We select the width tool. We click on this dot and we can increase or decrease the width of the stroke. This is how we can adjust the width of the stroke from any side we want. Now we select the second line. Now we will see how to adjust the line from one side, the top or the bottom. We select the width tool, we hold old and we slack the dot. Now we can adjust one side only to adjust the bottom side, we hold old, and we select the bottom dot. And we can adjust it any way we like. Now we select the last line. We adjust the line like this. We put the mouse on top of the line, we get a plus icon. We click to add a Dt. We use the Dt to adjust the stroke. From that point we can increase its width or decrease it. Same thing here, if we want to remove a Dt, we write, click on it and we select Undo Width. Point change. Now we remove these lines, we add a circle in here. We hold shift and we draw it. We decrease the stroke size slightly. We select the width tool, we adjust the stroke width from this point, we can increase it or decrease it. We can adjust the stroke width from any point we like. Now, the first T we adjust, we move it from the middle, from the line inside the stroke. But the second dot, we move it from the sides of the stroke. We get this shape here. This is how we use the width tool to adjust the stroke. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and L C you in the next video. 37. The Appearance Panel: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at appearance window. We start by adding a circle in here. Using the Ellas tool, we hold shift plus old to draw a circle in the center of the page. We paint the circle in any color. Now we go to window and we check appearance. Here it is. We have the shapes properties, we have the stroke and the fill. From here, we can edit the stroke and the fill, but in an advanced way, we click on Stroke. We have here all the stroke tools and properties. We already talked about all these tools in here, we can change the strokes color. From here, we select any color we want. For example, we painted in red. From here, we set the stroke size. We can increase it or decrease it. Now, what more does this appearance window offer us? We can use this window to add multiple strokes to the shape. As you can see, we have the stroke setting in here. Now we click on Add New Stroke. Here we are. We get a new stroke with the same properties as the first one. That's why we can see the new stroke. We change the color of the stroke. We paint this one in yellow. We decrease its size here. Now we can see the other stroke in red. Now we can add more strokes. We just make sure to select the shape. Before we add any more strokes, we click on Add New Stroke. We change the color of this stroke. We paint it in this color. We decrease its size. Here we are. We can see all three strokes. Just remember that the top stroke needs to be smaller so that we can see the other strokes. Here, let me show you. We select the shape, we put this stroke on the bottom. As you can see, we can't see that stroke anymore because the red and the yellow strokes are bigger so they are covered in it. To show it, we need to increase its size to be bigger than the two of them. Like this. Then we can arrange the strokes any way we like, just make sure that the bigger stroke is always at the bottom and the smaller one at the top. We have the fill in here. We can change the fill color to any color we like in here. We have the past. We can use it to edit the fills epasiti here we have the blending mode menu. Now we go back, We slick the fill, we click on a new fill, now we can change the color of the new fill. We change it to green, for example. As you can see, nothing happened because the red fill is covering the green one. If we hide the red pill, we can see the green one. Same thing, if we decrease the red fills epacity, we can see the green fill. To put the green fill on top, we simply drag it on top of the red one. We can put it back below if we want. Like I said, we will always see the top fill. To delete fill, we select it and we click on the delete selected item. Now what if we want to apply these properties to other shapes? Instead of doing this all over again for each shape, we just save these properties and apply them to other shapes. We go to window, we check graphic styles. This is the graphic styles. Window, we select the shape and we click on Neographic Style. Now the graphic style is saved here. We delete this shape, we add a star in here, you can see the star has the normal stroke and fill. Now we click on our graphic style. Here we are. The star shape. Took all the properties of the shape we created before, we can add a polygon. In here we click on the graphic style, and here we are. We save this style here, and now we can apply to any shape we want. And whenever we want, as you can see here, we have other styles like this one here and this one as well. We can even download other styles online. We can buy and add them to the software, then we use them to create the design we like. This is all about the appearance window and the graphic styles window. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 38. The Offset Path: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the offset path. We use the offset path to duplicate shapes in the same size and in a certain direction. We start by drawing a box in here. We remove its fill and we select the stroke. We increase the stroke size. Now let's say that we want to duplicate this box to put a bigger box around this one. Some would go to edit, copy, then edit again, and select space in front. Then hold shift plus old and increase the size of this box like this. Here we are. We got what we want. We change the stroke color of this box to separate the two perfect. Now to add another box around these two boxes, we repeat the same process. We edit, copy, then edit again, and paste in front. Then we hold Shift plus old and increase the size of the box like this. Now this way can work with this type of shapes, but even so, it takes time and effort and it will not work with other shapes. Let me show you. We delete these shapes. We add a star here. Using the star tool. We hold Shift plus Al to draw in the center. Now we go to Edit, Copy, Edit again, and we select Pace. In front, we hold Shift plus old, we decrease the star size and we put it inside the first star. As you can see, the space between the shapes here is not the same in here. Like I said, this way does not work with some shapes. Now we have to adjust the stars position manually to fix that. Again, that takes a lot of time and effort. Now we will use the offset path. We delete the star. Now we go to the appearance window. We remove the stroke from here. We will adjust it using the appearance window. Now we add a new stroke. We set its size to ten points. We select the stroke, and we click Add New Stroke. To add a stroke with the same properties of this one. Now we paint this one in a different color. Then we go to Ex menu. We select Path Offset Path. We have here the offset Path window. We got another shape in here. We need to set the offset to ten points. We need to set the same size. If the stroke size is ten, we set ten in the offset so that the stroke is glued to the shape. If we want to put the shape inside, we lower the offset. We select the size, and we use the mouse wheel to lower it like this. The second star is inside the first star, but with the same space between each part, unlike earlier. Now we click okay to save. Here we are. One shape is around the other, perfectly, like I said, to glue the shapes together, we go back to offset path and we set it to minus ten. Here we are now we click Save to apply the change, we can add a new stroke. We change its color. We go to Effects menu Path, and we select Offset Path. Now this time we set the offset to -20 to get this shape. Here we click okay to apply and save the changes. We can keep adding more strokes. This time we set it to -30 we can click okay. And here we are. This is how we can add shapes inside or around each other in an easy way. We can add a space between shapes if we want. For example, we just the offset of this one here, like this, same thing here. We lower it slightly in here as well. Perfect. We can apply this to any shape we want to separate the shapes, we select them. Go to object, expand, appearance, then write collect on the shapes, and we select group. Now we can select and adjust each shape separately. We can change its color position, et cetera. This is how we can use the offset path to add multiple shapes around or inside each other. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 39. The Artboard: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the art sport. The art board is the design page. This page here is an art sport. Now let's say that we created our page and now we want to edit it, for example, change its size or whatever. To do so we select the artboard tool, we get these tools here on top. From here we can change the arts board size, for example. We change it to a four or phone X, et cetera. This depends on what we want to create. Now we go back, we can change the orientation to portray. From here we have portray or landscape. It didn't change because we have changed the art board and not the design. Now we have to adjust the design to fit with the new orientation. We put it back to landscape. From here, we name our art board. For example, we name it page one or whatever we want. Now to duplicate the art board, we activate this tool, move copy artwork with artboard. Then we click Alt. And we drag the art board down here. It's duplicated. We click Amenlez to go back. Now, what if we don't activate this tool? We deactivated, we hold old. We drag the artboard down. As you can see, the design does not move with the art board, hence the name move. Copy artwork with the art board to duplicate the art board with the design. We activate this tool from here we set the artboard size. Now we go to window and we check art boards. We have here a menu of the art boards we have. We double click on any of them and we rename it, we name this one page two, We swim out to see both artboards perfectly. To remove an artboard, we select it and then we click on the leads artboard commands to bring it back. To add a new art board, we just click on new arts board. Here it is. And we can add as many art boards as we want. We click on Re, arrange all art boards. We get this window and we can select the layout we want. We have multiple layouts in here. Select an artboard, then we click on Options. We get this window with all the tools we saw before. We can change the art boards name, size, orientation, et cetera. Then we click okay. Like I said, we Sls an artboard and we click on the leads artboard to remove it. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 40. How to add Images to The Adobe Illustrator: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to add images to the Adobe Illustrator software and how to edit them. Now, there are two ways to do that. The first way to add images is by going to file, then open. Now we locate the image we want to add, then we click open. Here we are. The image is added. Now we can adjust its size and put it anywhere we want. As you can see, when we added image this way, it was added in a different document and not on the main document. Remove the whole document, we take a look at the second way to add images. We go to file, and this time we select place. We get this window, we locate the image we want to add, for example, this one. As you can see, we have this link option here. When the link option is activated, it means that we will not add the image, we will only add a link of the image. This means that if we added the image link to the software and then we remove the image from its location on our computer, the image will be removed from the software. To add the image itself, we uncheck the link option, since we will cover it all, we keep the link option checked and then we add the image link. The link option is useful when we have a large project. We add only a link of the image. To keep things as small as possible, we check Link, and we click Place to add the image link. As you can see now the image appears next to the mouse icon. Now we can put the image anywhere we want. We click and drag like this to select the place where we want to add image at. For example. Here, here we are. Now we can adjust the image. We can adjust its position and size. Anyway we like. When we adjust the image size, we hold shift to keep the same ratio and not distort the image. When we click on the image, we get multiple tools in here. The first one is linked file, we click on it and we get multiple tools in here. The first one is relink from CC libraries. The second one is relink to change the image, we click on relink and we select the new image. Then we click Place. Here are the image is changed. Here we are, the image is changed. Next we have update link. We use it to update the link. In case we made any changes to the original image, click on the image name. We have the same tools we had in linked file re, link, update, link, and we have edit. In Photoshop, we use this option to edit image in the Photoshop software. Next we have here the embed option. We use it to embed the image to the software. When we click the image, we see these two lines on it. This means the image is just a link. When we click on Embed, the two lines are gone. And this is the original image now, and it's no longer just a link. We can remove it from its location and it will still be visible in the software. We click amend plus Z. To go back, you can see we have the linked file. When we click on Embed, we have now an image and not just a link. We have more tools. Here we have the opacity, it's clear, we use it to edit the images opacity. Next we have the crop image tool. We use it to crab the image. We select the parts we want to keep, and we crap the rest. When we are done, we click Apply. Here we are, We click a man let Z to go back. There is another way to crop the image Using the mask. We slick the image, then we click on mask. We crop the image from this side. But now this part of the image is still there, it's just hidden. Unlike the crop tool, when we crop an image using the crop tool, the cropped part is deleted forever. But if we use the mask tool, the cropped part is only hidden. This part of the image is still there. We can double click on the image to adjust it and set which part of it we want to show, including the parts we masked. Double click on the image, again, to remove the mask, To make the corner of the image around it, we select the direct selection tool. And we use these dots to adjust the corners. If we drag them to the inside too much, we turn the image to a circle. Like I said before, We use the selection tool, we double click on the image to put it back to default. Here we have the Image Trace tool. We click on it, we get this menu. Each option allows us to edit the image differently. As you can see, we have here multiple options. We have photo, creek colors, six colors, 16 colors, et cetera. These options make the image a vector and we can edit it. For example, we select Sketch. Here is the image. Now we click Amend Ples to go back. Now let's say that we want to change the image into multiple shapes and we edit each shape separately. To do so, we select six colors, because we don't have too many colors in the image. We select six colors. Now we click on Expand. Now each part of the image is separate. And we can edit it any way we like. For example, like this, we can change each part's color. For example, here we change it to yellow here as well. Now this is not an image anymore. It's a shape created using the Illustrator software. Here we have the layers of each part of the shape. It's like we created this shape manually. This is how we add and edit images in the Illustrator software. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 41. The Clipping Mask: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the clipping mask. We use the clipping mask to put one object inside another to get the result we want. We start by drawing a circle in here. Using the ellapse tool we hold all to draw an even circle. Next we draw a star over it, change the star color. Now let's say that we want to add this star inside the circle. It's very simple. First thing to pay attention to is the order of objects. To do a coping mask in the Photoshop, we need to put the shape we want to put inside in front of the shape where we want to put it in. But with the illustrator, it's the opposite. I will explain. In practice, since we want to add the star to the circle, we put the star behind the circle. We select both shapes. We go to object copping mask, and we select make. Here we are. The star is added to the circle. To adjust the star, we select the direct selection tool. We select both shapes and we adjust the star position in a way we like. As you can see, the star cannot exit the circle. We just adjust the star to decide what parts of it shows inside the circle. Now to separate these two shapes, we select them. We go to Object Clipping Mask, and we select Release. Here we are. We can see the circle. We select it from its layer and we paint it in any color blue. For example, here it is. Now we hold shift and we decrease the star size. Like this. We put it here. We hold Alt, and we drag it here to duplicate it. Now we click command plus D to duplicate it again four times. Now we select all five stars. We hold Alt, we drag them here to duplicate them again, command plus D to repeat it like this. We have six rows in here. Now we select the stars and we put them here. We put the circle on top of the stars. We select the stars. And the circle, we go to object, Clapping mask, and we select make. Here we are. The stars are added inside the circle. Like I said, the shape we put behind will be added to the one in front. In this case, it's the stars added to the circle. We got this shape here. And we can use the direct selection tool to adjust the stars anyway we like. We can even adjust each star separately. This is the clipping mask for shapes. Now we will take a look at images. We add a shape in here. You can add any shape you like. For example, the rounded rectangle. Now we add an image. We locate our image, Here it is. We add it to the software. We put it here. Now we put the image behind the rectangle. We select both the image and the shape. We go to Object Clipping mask, we select Make, here we are. The image is added inside the shape. This is how we make a clipping mask to shapes and images. To remove the clipping mask, we select the image and the shape, then we go to Object Clipping Mask, and we select Release. Here we are, the image is separated from the shape. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 42. The Expand and The Expand Appearance : Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the expand and the expand appearance windows. I have here a polygon that I drew and I added a stroke to it. Now let's say that we want to separate the stroke from the fill. To do this, we need to use the expand window. We select the shape, then we go to object, and we select expand. We get this window we have here, fill and stroke. We select both and we click okay. Now when we go to the layers, we can see the stroke has its own layer and the fill as well. Now right click on the Shape and we select Group. Now we can separate the fill from the stroke. Now this stroke here is actually a pill. We can select the direct selection tool, and we can use these dots to adjust the shape. Now we can adjust it using any of these dots. Same goes for the other shape. Now we delete these two shapes. We use the ellipse tool to add a circle in here. We change its color to gradients. We select these colors, we activate the stroke, we paint it in black. We increase its size so that we can get a good look at it. Now if we go to object expand, we can see the fill and stroke. We have here the gradients as well, because the shape is painted gradient color. We have here gradient mesh. We click okay. Now, right click on the shape. We select group and we separate the fill from the stroke. We go back. This time we select specify instead of gradient mesh, here we set the number of colors. For example, we set it to two. We click okay, here are, we got two colors and we can still separate the fill and the stroke in the same way. Now the number two is too low. We need a big number to get the gradient. As you saw, we get 200 by default. When we first selected Specify, now we set it back to 200. We click okay. Here we got a gradient. Instead of just two colors, we write click Select Group. Here we are. We can separate the fill from the stroke. As you can see when we hover over the shape, we can see that we have a lot of color shades. If we open the layers, we will find a lot of layers in here. This is how we use the expanded window to separate the fill from the stroke, whether it's in solid color or ingradients color. Now we draw a star in here. We paint it in this color. Now we select the star, Then we go to Effect, And we select Stylize. Then we select Drop Shadow. Here we are. We got our shadow effect. We set it's offset like this, and we click Okay. Now we can't adjust the shadow effect separately. For example, if we decrease the shape's opacity, we decrease the opacity of the shadow as well. We need to separate the effect from the shape. To do so, we select the shape. We go to object, and this time we select Expand Appearance. Then right click on the shape and we select Group. Here we are. The shape is separated from the effect. We can select the shadow and adjust its opacity. Now of course, this can be applied to all the effects. We will see that in the coming videos when we use some effects. This is how we can use the expand and expand appearance windows to separate the fill from the stroke. And to separate the shape from the effects that's set for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 43. The Eraser Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the eraser tool. The Erasor Tool is located right here on the tools bar. If we write to click on it, we get this short menu of tools. We have the Erasor tool, the scissors tool, and the knife tool. We will take a look at all of these tools. We start with the Erasor tool, now we draw a shape in here, for example, star. Now we select the razor tool, then we click and drag to delete this part of the shape. We deleted this part and we separated this part from the rest of the shape. Now we can use the selection tool to just this part separately. We can put it anywhere we want. Now we select the shape layer. We use the razor tool to delete these parts here. Now each part of the shape is separate and we can adjust it separately. We use the eraser tool to delete parts of the design, And when we delete a part, we can adjust the separated part separately. Now we delete this shape, and we add a circle in here. Now let's say that we want to split the circle using the Erasor tool. We select the Raisor tool and we erase this part of the circle. But as you can see, when we use the Erasor tool, we didn't erase the part perfectly. We go back, we hold shift, and we raise this part like this. Here we are. We split the circle into even parts. Now we can adjust each of the parts separately. We can select the two parts. We select the eraser tool, we hold shift, and we raise this part to split the shapes vertically, like this. Now we even have four parts. We can adjust each of them. We can change the color of this part, for example. This is useful in creating graphs. Now we delete these shapes. We add a rectangle in here. This is the default size of the eraser tool, but we can change it, of course. We double click on the eraser tool and we get the eraser tool options window. As you can see, we have here the angle, the roundness, and the size. We can increase or decrease the size. We get a preview of the tools size in here. We can adjust the tools roundness, we can adjust it from here as well, we get a preview of the results. Finally, we have the angle, we can change the tools angle from here. I left the angle option to the end because when the tool was round, we were not going to see the angle change since we adjusted the roundness. Now we can see the angle adjustment. After we are done, we click okay. Now this is our eraser tool. To put the options to default, we click on Reset. Here we are. Of course, we can always change it if we want. That's all about the reserve tool. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 44. The Scissors Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the scissors tool. To access the scissors tool, we write, click on the razor tool. We get this menu and select the scissors tool. First we select the shape. We zoom in on it. Now we hover over the shape using the scissors tool. We get the word path in here. Then we click to add a. Next, we add a.in here. Now we use the selection tool to drag this part here. As you can see, the scissors tool cut the shape based on the line we set Using the dots we go now we will cut the shape diagonally. We select the scissors tool, we hover here, we get the word path. And we click to add a dot. We add a.in here. Next. Now we use the selection tool to drag the cut part of the shape. We split the shape using the scissors tool. Now we go back. We add a stroke to the shape. We paint it in blue. We increase its size. We slk the scissors tool, We put a.in here and another here. We slk the selection tool. We slk this part, and we drag it up, and here we are. We can split this part here as well. This part of the shape is gone because the shape is not closed. Like I said, we use the scissors tool to split shapes. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 45. The Knife Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the knife tool. We have this shape here, a polygon. We select it, then right click on the eraser tool. We get this menu and select the knife tool. Now we use this tool to cut and split shapes freely. For example, we split this shape from here, we click and drag like this. Now we select the selection tool, We click outside the shape, then we drag this part here. As you can see, this part was cut and closed as well. Now we have two separate shapes command plus D to go back. Now we cut this shape like this. We use the selection tool to drag this part here, and here we are. The shape was split based on what we wanted and was closed as well. We use the knife tool to cut and split shapes freely and in any way we like. These are the three split tools, the Erazor tool, the scissors tool, and the knife tool. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 46. The Warp Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the Warp effect. I add this background and text, now we select the text, then we go to the appearance window. We go to the Effect menu, and we select Warp. As you can see, we have multiple styles in here. We select here are the text has changed. We can select any of the other styles in here. We stick with arc style. We have here horizontal and vertical. This is the vertical version of the style we set the bend from here. Next we have the distortion, both horizontal and vertical. We put them all to zero. We select horizontal. As you can see, we have here multiple styles. We select arc lower. Next we take a look at the bosh style, the flag style, the fish. Then of course, we can adjust the settings to get the result we want. This is the warp effect with all its styles. We have squeeze, twist. We simply select the style, then we adjust the settings to get the result we want. After we are done, we click okay to apply the changes. This is the text. After the changes, we pull the text down here. We can apply the warp effects on shapes as well. For example, we add a star in here. Then we go to Effects menu Warp Arc, and take a look at the star. Now of course, now we can make our adjustments. We can change the style, adjust the bend, et cetera. After we are done, we click okay. And here we are. This is our star now this is the warp effect. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 47. The Twirl Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll talk about the twirl tool. The twirl tool is located here. Now we start by drawing a rectangle in here. We activate its fill. We select the twirl tool, we can hold shift plus O, Then we drag to increase or decrease the tools size. Now we set it to the size. Now we click on the center of the rectangle, we get this shape. We click again and it becomes like this. Now we add a star. We select the Twirl tool, we click on the shape, and here we are. This is how we can create a shape like this very easily. Now we go back, we double click on the tool, We get this window, and we can adjust the tool settings. If we click on the shape, now it's twirled toward the left. But if we go back, we change the twirl rate into -180 degrees. Now it's twirled toward the right. If we set it to 180 degrees again, it's twirled to the left again with a single click. The shape is twirled like this. Now we go back to the Twirl tool options window. We decrease the intensity to 10% We click okay. We click on the shape, and here we are. The shape is twirled like this. Now we slick the line segment tool, We hold shift and we add a line in here we paint the stroke and white we increase its size. We select the twirl tool, we hold Shift plus old, then we decrease its size. Now we click on the line here, here we are. We click here and here. As well As you can see, we get this cool shape. Now we duplicate the shape multiple times. We put them here, then we add a rectangle around the shapes. Here we are, we get this shape here. This is the twirl tool and how we can use it. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 48. The Eyedropper Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll talk about colors and how to paint objects. Now, we already talked about this before, but this time we will get into more details and we will see some techniques to paint objects faster and easier. We start by opening the documents we will use. We click open, we open this document. Of course, this file is included for you to use. Now we go to View and we select Trim View. Now we will color our design. I created this design and painted it in gray and white so that we painted together. Like I said, it's included for you in the resources folder to use. Now to paint an object, we select it, then double click on the fill box, and we select the color we want to paint the shape with. Then we click okay to add a stroke to the object. We double click on it and we select the color we want. We can increase the stroke size from here. To remove the stroke, we select it and we select none to remove it. Same thing for the fill. We select it and we select none to remove it. To add the fill, we select color. We can use the swatches window as well to paint objects. We select the object and then we select the color we want to paint it with from the Swatches menu. Now, what if we want to paint multiple objects or shapes in the same color, at the same time? It's simple. We select the first object, we hold shift, and we select the other objects, then we select the color we want. Here we are. All three shapes are painted in the same color. At the same time. We click a man plus to go back. Now what if we want to paint another shape with this exact color? Here, it's simple. We select the shape we want to paint. We use the Eye Dropper tool to copy the color we want. We select the Eye Dropper tool. Now when we select any color, the shape will be painted in that color, like this. Now we use the selection tool to select this shape. Then we select the Dropper tool. It's shortcut is the letter I in the keyboard. Then we select the color we want to copy. Here we are. The shape is painted in the selected color. This is how we can copy any color and use it to paint a shape or an object. We click outside to unselect everything. Now double click on the fill and we select the color pink, for example. Now let's say that we want to paint multiple objects with this color. We select the Eye Dropper tool. Now we click Old. You can see the Eye Dropper tool icon is now in black. Now any object we select will be painted in pink. For example, here, here, here, and here, the text as well. This way I can paint any object I want using the eye dropper tool. Now we select this shape and we add a stroke to it in green. We increase the stroke size to see it clearly. Now this shape has a stroke. If we select this shape and we selected the eye dropper tool, then copied the color from this shape, the eye dropper tool copies the fill and the stroke as well. Another example, we select this text. We copy the color from this text using the eye dropper tool. As you can see, we get its color and its size. The Eye Dropper tool copies all the features from the selected shape or object, but this might cause a problem if I only want to copy the color and nothing else. But again, the solution is very simple. Select the object we want to paint, then we select the Eye Dropper tool. We hold shift and we select the color we want. Here we are. The tool copied the color, only the size of the text was not copied. Same thing here, we select this shape, we select the eye dropper tool, we hold shift, we select the color from this shape, and here we are. The tool did not copy the stroke this time, If I want to copy the whole features, I do not hold shift. If I want to copy the color only, I hold shift. The eye dropper tool is a great tool that helps us paint objects very easily. For example, here we have the fill and the stroke selected. We slack the eye wrapper. Tool, we hold old and we start painting all the shapes we want. Now we go back all the way here and we start coloring our design. We slck the color green, We slk the eye. Rapper Tool, we hold old and we slk the parts of the design we want to paint with the selected color. For example, these three shapes here. Now we change the color. We select the eye dropper tool, we hold Alt, and we select the parts we want to paint in this color, these three parts here. Now we select this shape and we paint it in this color. We paint this shape here in a different color. Now we slack this color. We slack the eye dropper tool we hold old and we paint these three parts. Now slack this part. We paint it in white. We slack this part here. We use the eye dropper tool to paint it in this color. But we change its shape to be a bit lighter. We paint this part here as well. In this color, we paint the text in black. We paint the other texts as well in this color. We change the background color as well. That's better. We change this parts color as well. We paint this last part here. Now we have painted every part of the design. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 49. How to add Color Pallets to The Software: Hello, and welcome to this video. We are still talking about colors. In this video, we will see how to add new colors to the software using the Adobe website. We go to Google and we type Adobe Color. We select the Adobe Color page, it'scoldob com. We can create new colors here. Now we go to explore here, so many colors. We select color themes. From here, we select the themes we want, most popular, most used, all, et cetera. We select all. Here we have all the colors that the website offers. There are multiple pages in here. Now, for example, we like this color theme. We select it, as you can see, we have multiple colors, each with its own code. When we hover over the color code, we get the Copy button. We click on it to copy the color code. Now we go back to the software. We go to the Swatches window, we slick the object we want to paint. Double click on the fill, and we paste the color code in. Here we click okay, and here we are. The shape is painted with the color we selected to save this color to the swatches window. We selected, we click on your Swatch. This is the color name. We can change it if we want. We keep these settings intact, and we click okay. Here we are. The color is saved here. Now we go back to the website. We copy this color code. Same thing. We go to the software, to the Swatches window. We select the shape first, double click on the fill, and we paste the color code in. Here we click okay, and here we are. The shape is painted in the selected color. Now we click on your Swatch and we save the color. Here is the color. Let's add another color. We paint this leaf with that color. Here it is. Now we add it to the switches window. If you like these colors and you want to use them extensively in your next project, you can add all of them to the switches window to save them together. You hold Shift and you select them. Then you click on your color group. You name the group. Then you click okay, Here are the colors are added here. If you wanted to delete this folder selected and click on Delete Swatch, you get this window, then you click, yes, it's gone. Same thing if you wanted to delete a color from here. Same thing if you wanted to delete a color from here. This is how we can add new colors to the illustrator. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 50. Gradient Colors: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the gradient color. The design that we will use in this video is included for you to use. You can use it or create your own design. We already saw how to create similar designs. To add the design, we go to file open. We locate the design and we add it. Now to paint a shape gradient color, we select it first. In the color and stroke tool, we have three options in here. The nun, we use it to remove the color entirely. We have the gradient. We select it, we get this window. We use it to set the gradient color. There are three types of gradients here, the linear gradient, the radial gradient, and finally the three form gradient. We will take a look at each of them. In here we have the angle option. We use it to set the angle of the gradient color. For example, we select 45 degrees, here we are, 90 degrees, here it is. We select the angle we want. You put it back at zero. From here, we select the colors. We have black and white. Double click on the black color and we select any color we want from here. Same thing for the white color. Double click on it and we change it. We can set any color we want. Or we can use the Eye Dropper tool to copy a color. We just click on it to copy it and use it. We can select the color using the color picker as well. We can adjust the gradients of the color like this. We do the same using the color bar we have in here. We pull it to the right or to the left, adjust the gradients. And using the gradient slider as well, we put the gradients back like this. Now if we want to add another color to the shape, we hover with the mouse over the bottom of the gradient slider until we get this plus icon. Then click, we get this double click on it. We slk the color we want to add. Now we have three colors. We can add as many colors as we want to remove a dot or a color. We click on the dot and we drag it down. Here are the dot is gone, so is the color. We can add it simply like we saw before. Like I said, we can add as many colors as we want and we remove them very easily as well. We have the color opacity in here. We can set its opacity to any number we want. For example, we set the color opacity to 50% here it is. Or 20% or even to zero. We put it back to 100, and the same goes for the other color. Now we select the radial gradient type. As you can see, the gradient is radial. Now we can adjust the gradient like this. We have the same tools and features, just a different type of gradients. Next we have here the three form gradients. Now we hide all these layers, leaving only the background. Select the background, we select the free form gradient. As you can see, we have four dots in here. Double click on the top right. Do we select a color? Same thing here. We add a color to each dot. Here we are. We can add another dot here at the middle and here, and anywhere we want. With each dot, we add a new color until we get the result we like. We can add any color we like. We can hover over the T. When we get the circle, we click and drag the circle to change the color position. And to delete the dot, we select it and we click Delete from the keyboard. And we can adjust the gradient radius as well. Same thing. We can set the color opaesity. From here, we slk the color and we set the color opacity. These are the gradient types we have. We go back to the linear type, we show all the layers back. We select the bottom part of the design. We select the gradient. We set the angle to 90 degrees because we want the gradient from the bottom to the top. We just the color like this. We change the colors. Good, we change the other color, perfect. Now we paint the other shapes with the same color. We use the Eyedropper tool to copy the exact color. We click outside to unselect everything. We select the gradient, we select the Eye Dropper tool, we hold Alt, and we paint these shapes. Now we set the angle of each part to 90 degrees. We select the part, we select the gradient, we set the gradient type to radial. Now we reverse the colors like this. We add another.in, here, we select this color. We adjust the gradient slider like this to get this result. Here we are. This is our design. We created a design using gradient color. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 51. Text typing: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to type text in D Illustrator software. To type a text, we use the type tool. If we were to click on it, we will get multiple tools in here. But the main tool we will talk about is the type tool. We select it, now we click on the place where we want to type our text at, for example, here. When we click, we get this example text in here. Now we increase the text size to get a good look at it. Now we type the text that we want. For example, we type the word design. Now to edit the text, we need to select it first. To select it, we can either double click on it, or we click and drag like this. We have this tools bar here. We use it to edit the text from here we select or change the text color from here, we set or change the text stroke color. For example, we paint it in black. We can edit the stroke size from here, increase it or decrease it. Now we remove the stroke because we don't need it. From here, we set the text opacity. Let's increase the text size a bit more. That's better. Like I said, we set the text opacity from here. From here, we can set the text font. We have here multiple fonts to choose from. For example, we select this font. When we hover over a font, we see a preview of it on the text. This way, we can see how the text will look like even before we select that font. Like I said, we have here multiple funds to choose from. From here we select the font style, we have regular bald, et cetera. Each font have different styles. For example, this font has these styles. When we see the font, we can see number next to it. For example, here we have the number four. That means that this font has four styles. For example, we select this font, we go to the font style, and here we are. We have here multiple font styles in here. These are different than the fonts we saw earlier because like I said, each font has its own set of styles. From here, we can set the text size as well. We can use the arrows here to increase or decrease its size. We have this menu as well. We select the size we like, but the max size in this menu is 72. If we want a bigger size, we double click on the size number to select it and we type the size we want. For example, we type 200. Here we are. We can increase the size text like this, or we use the selection tool when we select the text, using the selection tool, we get this line around the text, then we use it to adjust the text size. But when we adjust the text size like this, it is distorted. So we hold shift and then we adjust its size this way. We adjust only its size. From here, we align the text. We can align it to wherever we want, to the center, to the right, to the left, to the top, or to the bottom. Like I said, we center it wherever we want. And we already saw how to align shapes. The same goes for the text. Like I said, when we select the text, we get this line around it. When we hover over the corner of that line, we get the rotation icon. Now we can click and rotate the text like this. Now to turn the text into a shape, we select the text. We go to type, and we select Create Outline. The text is now a shape. Then we can use the direct selection tool to adjust the shape. We zoom in on the text. Now when we select the direct selection tool, we can see these dots on the text like we do with the shapes. We use these dots to edit the shape. We can edit them anyway we like. For example, like this, this is how we type text and how we edit it, and even how to turn it into a shape. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 52. How to type Paragraphs: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to type paragraphs. The first thing we will talk about is the character menu. We select the text, and then we click on Character. The character menu holds all the tools we have in this bar here and a bit more. From here, we select the font type. From here we select the font style. From here we set the text size. We set it from here as well. From here we set the tracking for the selected characters. That's the space between the characters. We set it from here. As you can see, we have different sizes to choose from, or we can set the size manually. We increase it or decrease it. Using the mouse wheel, we select zero to put it back to default. Now from here, we scale the text horizontally. We increase it or decrease it. We set it to 100% to put it back to default. From here, we scale the text vertically, increase it or decrease it as well. We set it to 100 to put it back to default. In here we have the all caps button. We selected to set all the characters to caps. From here, we set the first letter only to caps. Click on the button to activate the feature, and click on it again to deactivate it. These are the settings and tools we have in the Character menu. Now we will see how to type a paragraph. We select the text tool, then we click and drag like this to select the area where we want to type our paragraph at. For example, here we get the text here. It's so big because we have the same text size from the last Areo. We decrease the text size, we remove the text. You will find this document included for you in the resources folder to use so that you can copy this text. Now we copy it, of course you can use your own text if you want. Now we paste the text inside the rectangle we created. Here we are our paragraph. We click commend plus A to select the whole text. And we adjust the text size. Perfect. Same thing. We can select the text and then we can change its font type. We separate these two paragraphs. Use the selection tool to increase the size of the rectangle because a part of the text is not visible in here. Perfect. Now we can edit the text anyway we like. For example, we select this sentence and we change its font type. We can change its color. We apply what we have learned about the text in the former videos on this text here. Now we select the whole text, and we click on the Paragraph menu. From here, we can align our paragraph. We align it to the center, to the right, to the left. As you can see, when we align the text to the right, the lines end in different positions. We click on Justify with the last line aligned left. Now all the lines end at the same point except the last line. Because we still have space in here, we click on Justify with the last line aligned center to align the text to the center like this. And we click on Justify with last line aligned right to align the text. And from the right finally, we have here justify all lines to align the text perfectly like this, Even the last line, the software sets the needed space between the words to justify the text alignment we want. From here we can add a margin to the text from the left. Now we put it back to zero. From here we add a margin from the right, we put it back to zero. From here we add a margin to the first line of the paragraph only from the left. This is a good tool to organize our text in a beautiful way. Let me remove this sentence. I go back. We always set the setting to zero to put it back to default. From here we set the space before the paragraphs. From here we set the space after the paragraph. This is how we can type a paragraph in the software and how we can edit and organize it. We can always use the selection tool to edit the paragraph shape like this. Then we can edit the text. For example, we change its color or whatever. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 53. How to align Text around Shapes: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to align the text around shapes. For example, we add a circle in here. As you can see, the circle is covering the text. Now we will see how to align the text around it. The first thing is make sure that the shape is on top of the text. Then we select both the shape and the text. We go to object text wrap, and we select Make. We get this message. We click okay. Here we are. The text is aligned around the circle. Let's take a look at another shape, for example the star. We draw a star in here. Make sure to hold shift while drawing. To draw an even shape, we put the star over the text. We select the star and the text. We go to object text wrap, and we select Make. Then okay, and here we are. The text is aligned around the star shape. To edit the space between the text and the shape, we select the text and the shape. Then we go to Object Text trap. And we select text rap options. We get this window and we set the upset. The upset is the space between the text and the shape. We can decrease it or increase it to get the result we want. Then we click okay, here we are. This is the text around the shape. Of course, we can align the text around any shape we have. We can even use the pen tool to draw our own shape and align the text around it. This is how we can align text around shapes. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 54. Area Type Tool and Type On Path Tool: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll take a look at multiple typing tools in the software. Now we write to click on the type tool and we get this menu of tools. The first tool we will talk about is the Area Type Tool. We use the Area Type tool to type inside any shape. We want to take a look at how we do that. We draw a circle in here using the Ellas tool. We hold shift to draw an even shape. Here it is. Now we select the area type tool. We change the circle's color so that we can see the mouse icon inside the circle. As you can see, we have the same mouse icon inside and outside the shape. But if we hover over the circles stroke, we get the word path in here. Now if we click with the mouse left button, we get a text inside the circle. Of course, we can replace this text with our own text. We click the lead to remove this text. I have this text here as an example. You can use it or use your own text. We copy the text. We paste it inside the circle. Here we are. The text is inside the circle. We have here this red dot. This red dot means that our text is not fully showed. Because there isn't enough space to solve this problem, we can increase the circles size. We use the selection tool. We hold shift and we increase the circles size. Here are the red dot is gone. Now another solution is by selecting the text using command plus a. And then we decrease the text size like this. This is how we can type text inside shapes. Using the area type tool, we can select the text and we change its font. If we want, for example, we select this font type, then we can change the font style, the text size, color, et cetera. We can even select the text. Then we go to paragraph and we align the text any way we like to the center or to the edges of the circle. We already saw how to use the paragraph menu to align the text. Never delete this text, we add a star. Same thing. We select the area type tool, we put the mouse over the shaped stroke, we get the word path. Then we click, here we are. We have a text inside the shape. We remove the text and we can replace it with our own text. We can even type our own text. For example, we type Adobe Illustrator or whatever we want. We can use the pen tool to draw our own shape. For example, like this, we select the area type tool. We hover over the shape stroke, we get the word path, We click, and here we are, the text inside the shape. Now we can add any text we want inside this shape. Now we remove this shape. Now we will take a look at the next tool, the type on a path tool. We use the type on a path tool to type text on the shapes, path or stroke, and not inside the shape. Now we use the pen tool to draw this curved line. Here we activate the stroke, because now we will type the text on the stroke. We select the type on a path tool, we hover over the stroke, we get the word path, we click, and here we are. The text is added on the stroke. Now we can delete this text and type our own text. For example, we type the word Adobe Illustrator. Design. We can change the text color, we can change its size, et cetera. The text is in the middle as you see now. What if we want to align it to the start or to the end? We zoom in on the text. We use the selection tool to select the text. As you can see, we get these three lines here. We use the first line to move the text. We use the middle one to change the text from the top to bottom. Then we use the third line to set the text end point. To use this line, we hover over it until we get this arrow point into the right. Then we use the line to put the text wherever we want, like this. Now we use the third line to set the end of the text. As you can see, a part of the text is gone. We drag it to the left to show it. We use this line to set the endpoint of the text. Then we use the first line to change the text position. Now we use the middle line to put the text on top or below the line. We hover over the line, we get this arrow. We click and drag down to pull the text below the stroke. Now since the text is reversed, these two lines are reversed as well. We use the right line to move the text and the left one to set the text endpoint. Now now we delete this line and the text. We add a circle in here. We activate the stroke. We select the type on a path tool. We hover over the stroke, we get the word path. We click, and here we are. The text is on the shape stroke. We use the area type tool to add the text on the fill, and we use the type on a path tool to add the text on the stroke. Now we can delete this text and type our own. We type graphic design and we duplicate it to cover the whole stroke Like this. We can select the text and adjust its size like this. We select the selection tool and we get these three lines. We can move the text, we can set its endpoint, and we can put it on top or below the stroke. Just remember, when we reverse the text, these two lines are reversed as well. These are some more text typing tools in the software and how we use them. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 55. The rest of Type Tools: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will talk about the remaining type tools. We start with the vertical type tool, we select it, we click on the page, and here we are. We get a vertical text. Now we delete this text, we start typing our own text. For example, we type the word design. We can type a text in here as well. We type, for example, the word world. We use the vertical type tool to type vertical text. Now we take a look at the next tool, the Vertical Area Type tool. It's the same as the area type tool. We use it to type text inside shapes. We just use the vertical area type tool to type vertically. For example, we draw a circle in here. We slick the vertical area type tool. We hover over the shape stroke, we get the word path. Then we click, here we are. We decrease the text size. We copy this text, we pay it here, here we are. The text is vertical. We click amend plus a, or control plus a for Windows to select the whole text, and then we can adjust it. You may not understand the text because the words are vertical. Now we delete the circle and the text. The next tool we have here is the vertical type on a path tool, we select it, use the pen tool to draw this curved line. We click Enter. Now we activate the stroke. We select the vertical type on a pen tool. We hover over the stroke, we get the word path, and we click, here we are. We have a text vertically. Now we remove this text. We type our own text. For example, we type three, The artist. We select the text, we increase its size. As you can see, the text is vertical and following the path of the stroke. We use these lines to adjust the text. We use the left line to set the text position. We use the middle line to reverse the text position from top of the line into the bottom. And we use the last line to set the text endpoints. We already saw these lines using the type on a pad tool. Finally, we have here the touch type tool. This tool is different than the other tools. For example, we select the type tool, we click here, Types, for example, we select it, we increase its size, we put it here. Now we select the touch type tool. We use the touch type tool to edit each letter of the word separately. When we select the tool, the mouse icon becomes like this. For example, we select the letter. Now we can edit this letter, only we get this box around the letter and we can use it to adjust the letter. For example, we increase its size. Now we select the letter E. We increase its size as well. We can rotate it, we can put it anywhere we want. We use the touch type tool to edit each letter of the text separately. These are all the text typing tools in the software. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 56. How to cut Text: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll see how to cut text. We saw how to cut shapes. Now it's time for the text. We select the type tool. We click here and we add a text, for example. We type the word design. You can type whatever you like. We change the text color again. You can select any color you like. We adjust its size and we put it right here. This color is bit faded. So we change it, that's better. Now when we select the Erasor tool and we try to split the text with it, we get this icon here telling us that we can't split the text using the Erasor tool. Same thing goes for the scissors tool. And the knife tool as well. To fix this, we write to click on the text. We select Create Outlines. Now the text is multiple letters and each letter with its own layer. Now double click on the razor tool, we decrease its size. We click okay. Now we click and drag. Here we are. We deleted this part, splitting the text. We go back, we hold shift, then we click and drag to split the text in a straight line. After that simple solution, we can now split the text using the razor tool. We go back to delete a single letter and not the whole text. We slick the letters layer, for example, the letter N.

Because the other options only appear if you have a drawing tablet. This right here is the drawing tablet. This is the one I'm using. It's budget friendly, but there are more expensive ones like this one here. If you can afford a drawing tablet, I recommend that you buy one because it gives better results.

We click okay, here we are. The shape is now better. When we add a Photoshop effect, we need to set the resolution to 300. In case your computer is not that powerful, you leave it at 72 pixels. But when you extract your project, you have to select 300 so that the design can look in high quality. Now we go back. Let's take a look at another effect. For example, we select Stylize and we select Drop Shadow Effects. We get this window, we can adjust its settings here. We already saw that before. From here, we select the mode we want.

We select Group and we click on Add New Effect. We have here multiple effects to choose from. We can select any effect we want. We have here both the Illustrator effect and the Photoshop effects. We select Stylize and we select Drop Shadow. We adjust it slightly, we click okay, here we are. The effect is added, and we can see it in here. Now whenever we want to adjust the effect, we simply open the appearance window. We double click on the effects icon next to the effect, and we make our adjustments. Then of course, we click okay. If we want to delete the effect, we select it and we click on Delete Selected Item. These are two ways to add effects in the Adobe Illustrator software. That's it for this video.

This is the sun reflection on the water effect and how we create it. That's if this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 71. The Transform Effect: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the transform effect. We start by adding a box in here. We remove the fill, leaving the stroke only. We increase the stroke size. Then we go to the appearance window, we add an effect. We go to Distort end Transform. And we select transform, we get the transform effect window. We have here its settings. We have the scale horizontal end vertical. We have the move horizontal, end vertical as well. And we have the rotate. We have the copies number in here at the bottom. Here we have the preview feature. We can adjust the scale of the box horizontally and vertically. We put both of them to 100% Now we don't want to adjust the box, we want to add an effect. So we set the copies number to six. Now when we increase the box scale horizontally, we get this shape here. Same thing vertically. We can adjust it like this. We can adjust the move as well horizontally and vertically. We put it back to zero. We can even rotate the shape like this. We set the angle that we want. We can increase the number of copies to ten. We get this shape here. Of course, after we are done, we click okay. Now if we select the shape, we can select only the first box. We select it, we go to Object, and we select Expand Appearance. Here we are. Now each shape is in a separate group. We can write, click on the Shape and we select group to separate them. Now we can adjust each shape separately. Let's take a look at another shape. We add a polygon. We go to the appearance window, distort and transform. And we transform. We set the copy's number to five. We increase the scale horizontally and vertically. We rotate it and we get this shape. We can increase the copy's number to 20. For example, here we are. From here a defect anchor point. We can set it to the right, the left, to the top right corner, et cetera. After we are done, we click okay. We trim the view and we get this school design very easily and simply. This is all about the transform effect. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 72. The Pucker and Bloat Effect: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll take a look at the pucker and bloat effect. We start by throwing a box in here, we put it here. Then we go to the appearance window. Then to the effects menu. We go to Distort and Transform. And we select pucker and bloat. We get this window. Now this is a box, but if we increase the pucker, it becomes like this. We keep going until we get this shape. Now if we reverse it and we increase the bloats, we get this shape here. Until we get this shape right here. We use the pucker un blots effects to get these shapes here. For example, this shape. Then we click okay, here we are. We changed a box into this shape very easily. Now we lock the background layer. The background is included for you to use in the resources folder. Now we select the Shape layer, then we go to Object, and we select Expand Appearance. Now we can edit the shape, We can change its color. For example, you can add a stroke to it. We paint the stroke in white, and we increase its size slightly. Here we are. Now we let this shape, we type a text in here, for example N. We select the text, we paint it in white. We put it here we, good appearance effects, menu distort and transform. Then pucker and bloat. We adjust the pucker or the blots to get the result we want. We set the blow to 20% to change the text slightly while we can still see the text, because if we increase it too much, we will not be able to recognize the text. Then we click okay. And here we are. This is the pucker blot effect. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 73. The Glow Effect: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will take a look at the glow effect. I already created this background and typed text in here, the word glow. Now we will add effect to the text. We select it, we go to the appearance window. We pull the window here so that we can see the whole Effect menu. Like I said, we go to Effect menu, we select Stylize. We have here two glow effects, the inner glow and the outer glow. We start with the inner glow. You can see the effect is added inside the text. We have here the mode menu. We have multiple modes to choose from. We select screen. From here we slect the effect color we painted in yellow, for example. From here we set the effects of pesty. We can use these arrows to increase or decrease it, or we can select the number and use the mouse wheel to increase it or decrease it. Next we have the effects blur. We can increase or decrease it as well. We have here two options, edge or center. We select the one we like. Then we click okay, here we are. This is our inner glow effect. Now we hide the inner glow effect. We select the text and we go back to the Effects menu. And this time we select the outer glow effect. We have the same settings, we painted in white. As you can see, the effect is now on the outside of the text. Like I said, we select the color we want, we see the effects of pest and the blur. After we are done, we click okay. Here we are. We can show the inner glow effects again, here we are. We can apply both of them at the same time. If we want to edit the effect, we double click on the effects icon. We get the effects window, and then we can make our adjustments. For example, change the color or any other adjustment we want. We can always hide any of the effects. This is the glow effect. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 74. The Warp Effect: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll take a look at the Warp Tool. We use the Warp Tool to edit shapes and text. We start by selecting the rectangle tool. We draw a rectangle in here. Next, right click on the Width tool. We get this menu and we have the Warp Tool here. We select it to edit the tool, we double click on it. We get the rec tool options window. From here, we set its width, height angle, and its intensity. Down here we have the warp options, detail and simplify. After we make adjustments, we can always click on Reset to undo all that we did. Now we click okay, we slick the shape, then we go outside. We click and drag to the left like this. Same thing from the top to the bottom. We use the tool to adjust the edges of the shape like this. Let's take a look at another shape, the star. For example, star. In here we select the Warp tool, and then we adjust the shape like this. This tool is useful in adjusting shapes. We double click on the tool, we decrease its width and height, then we can adjust our shape to look like this. Now we delete the shape. We add a rectangle in here. We set the tool size to 100. Then we just direct angle like this. Here we are, we get this shape easily instead of having to draw it using the pen tool or any other tool. Then of course, we can change the shapes color if we want. Now we add a text, for example, we type the word book, we put the text at the center, We paint it in white. Now we select the Warp Tool. When we try to select the text with the tool, we get this message. We use the selection tool we write to click on the text, and we select Create Outlines. Now we select the Warp Tool, and we can adjust the text. Using the Warp Tool, we can make the text look like this. This is just an example. This is the Warp Tool. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 75. 3d in adobe illustrator: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll talk about red in the Illustrator software. It's creates red objects. First we go to window, and we check the treaty and the materials window. Here's the window. Now we will add a box in here. We activate the fill and we paint the box in purple. As you can see, we have here object materials and lighting. We start with the object menu. As you can see, we have here 43d types. The first one is plain. We selected the box, looks like this. Now we click on the selection tool. We get the rotation tool here, and we can use it to rotate the shape. We have multiple presets here for the rotation tool. We can rotate it using the xyz settings as well. We set all the settings to zero. Now the playing type is not that important. The important types are the rest, we select the next type, extrude. As you can see, the shape did not change. Even if we increase the depth, still no change. But if we use the middle dot of the rotate tool and we move the shape like this, now we can see it and we can adjust the shape depth anyway we like, we use the tool here to rotate the shape anyway we like as well. Next we have the twist. We use it to twist the shape like this. Twist the shape anyway we like. Next we have the taper. We use it just the shape like this. Next we have the cup. We have two settings. If we choose this one, the shape will be hollow from the inside. If we selected this one, the shape stays full from the inside. Now we put the twist back to zero. Next we activate the bevel, we go down. This is the bevel right here. We have multiple bevel shapes to choose from. We select the one we like, classic, convex, et cetera. From here, we can adjust the bevels width and height. Here we have the repeat. We use it to duplicate or repeat the bevel several times. We set the number here. Next we have the space, we use it to sit, the space between the bevels, we can increase it or decrease it. As you can see the bevel is on the outside of the shape. But if we check bevel inside the Beivl is now inside the shape. Next we have the rotation settings. We can rotate the shape using the xyz settings or using the rotation tool From here. Here we have the perspective. We use it to adjust the shape like this. These are all the extrude settings. Now we delete the shape. Next we have the revolve three D type. This works by drawing a shape using the pen tool. Then we turn it into a three D shape. We draw this shape using the pencil tool. Then we select Re volve. As you can see, nothing changed because we need to activate the stroke we activated and here we are. We got this tre D shape. In here, we can change the stroke color. To change the shape color, we paint it in orange, for example. Now we select the direct selection tool. We can adjust the shape using any of these dots. We can adjust it any way we like. Here we have the revolve angle setting. At first, the shape looked like a stroke, then it is revolved for 360 degrees to get this tree D shape. Next we have the twist. The twist is not that good here because this is a complicated shape. We already saw the taper. Next we have the offset. We use it to adjust the shape like this. Next we have here the offset direction from. We have two options, left edge and right edge. Next we have the rotation settings. We have the sets here, or we can use the xyz settings to rotate the shape. Now we let this shape, we add a star in here. We activate the fill and we paint it in orange. Now we select the inflateoryD type. As you can see, the star became like this. It's like the star is inflated. It looks like this. Now we have the depth setting. Next the twist. Like I said before, the twist is tricky and complicated shapes. Next we have the volume setting. We rotate the star like this, and if we decrease the volume, the shape becomes like this, less inflated. In here, we have to inflate both sides. Setting, if we select it, the shape is inflated from both sides like this. At first the shape is inflated from one side. It's flat from the back and inflated from the front. But if we select inflates both sides, the shape is inflated from the back and the front. Down here we have the rotation settings. We already talked about them. Now we go to the materials menu. We have here multiple materials that we can use. We select this one, as you can see, we added a texture to the shape. We can select anyone we like. When we select a material, we have its settings down here. First we have the resolution. The higher the resolution we select, the better the shape will look. If you have a powerful computer, it can handle higher resolution, but if your computer is not that powerful, the process will be slower with high resolution. Here we have the repeat setting. This is for the texture. From here, we change the shapes color. Here we have the wood color variation. Next we have the veins contrast. The software takes some time to apply the contrast, if we increase it. Next we have the wood roughness, and we have a lot of other settings in here to adjust the texture or the material. We will take a look at them in the coming videos when we create our Tre D designs. Next we have the lighting menu. We have four piecets here, standard diffuse top, left, and finally right. We select standard. We can change the lighting direction like this. Down here, we have more settings. We have the lighting color here. For example, we painted in yellow or white, it's better. Next we have the light intensity. We can increase or decrease it. We have the rotation, the height, the softness, and finally we have the intensity. Next we have the diffuse. We adjusted the same way. It has the same settings down here, Same thing for the top left and the right. These are the types of lighting we have. Now, the tread tool in the software is very advanced than the one before. It's offers multiple options and settings to create our Tree D design. We will see how to create Tree D shapes in the coming videos. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video. 76. Create a 3D Cup Of Coffee Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In the former video, we saw and talked about the Re D tools in the illustrator. Now in this video, we will apply all that we have learned to create a Re D design. We will create a red cup. We start by drawing the cup. We will draw only half of it. We select the rectangle tool and we draw a rectangle in here. We remove the stroke, we paint the rectangle in black, dark black. Because in Creed, the lighting plays a role in showing the shades of colors. Of course, you can adjust the color later if you want. Now this will be the cup slid. We zoom in on it. We duplicate it. We put it here. And we increase its size like this. We just the edge of this rectangle to be round like this. Same thing for the other rectangle. Now we select both shapes. We select the shape builder tool and we merge the two shapes. Merge them using the path finder as well. We already saw how to do that. Now we need to cut a part of this shape. We throw this rectangle over the parts we want to cut. We change the color of the rectangle to separate it from the other shape. Now we select all shapes. We go to path finder, we select minus front, here we are. The part is gone. Now we throw the cup. Add a rectangle here like this. We select the direct selection tool. We hold shift and we just the shape like this. We paint the cup in white. But if we did it, it will not be visible since the background is also white. Instead, we add a new background, we add a new layer, We put it at the bottom. We add the new background. We paint it in this color, and we lock it. Now we can paint the cup in white. As you can see, the background is in a separate layer and it's locked so that it does not move. Now we add a rectangle in here. We paint it in this color. The rectangle is bigger than the cup. We select both the cup and the rectangle. We select the Shape Builder tool, we hold Alt, and click on this part of the rectangle to delete it. Now we sl the whole shape, right? Click on it and we select the group. Now we go to the Treaty End Materials window. We select Revolve, and here we are. This is our cup. Next we will add a text to the cup. For example, we type the word coffee. We increase the text size, we select this font type. Next we select the text, and we paint it in brown. You can select any color you like. You don't have to use the same colors I use. Next we go to window, we check symbols. We select the text, and we select new symbol. We get this window, we name the symbol, and we click, okay, here we are. The symbol is added. Now we go to materials and we select graphics. Then we show all materials and graphics. We go and we select our symbol. Here it is. We can put it anywhere we want on the cup. Now, we don't need the text, we delete it. We select the cup. We are still in the materials window. We go down here and we increase the metallic to get this glow on the cup. And we can go to lighting and adjust the lighting in a way we like, we go down here, we have more lighting settings that we can use to adjust the lighting. For example, we set it like this. We activate the shadow, we can put it behind or below the object, and then we adjusted to get the result we want. If we decide that we don't need shadow, we can always remove it. We can rotate the cup from here, we adjusted to get the result we like. One more thing. The render we have here, the render with Sing option. We click on it to see the shape after it's rendered, we have here the render settings. We have the render quality low, medium, and high. We slick high to render the shape in the best quality. We check reduce noise to reduce the noise on the shape. Then we click on Render to render our design. Don't worry, we will talk all about the render process in details in the coming videos. This is how we create a three D Cup in the Illustrator software. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 77. 3D Inflate: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to create a tree D shape in a different way than the way we saw before. We start by adding a background, we remove the stroke and we paint the background in blue. Next we add a star in here, we painted in yellow. Next we hold Shift and we select the background and the star. Then right click and we select Group. Now we show Tre D and Materials window, We go to Object and we select Inflate, we get this shape. Next we go to Materials, we go down here and we decrease the roughness and we increase the metallic. This is the result. Now we go to lighting and we just the lighting settings like this, that's better. Now we slick render with rate tracing, we set the quality to high and we click on Render. We wait for a bit. Here we are. This is our design. This is the tree D shape we got. This is how we can create a tree D shape in a different way. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 78. 3D Text: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create a three D text. We start by adding a background, we remove the stroke, and we paint the background in black. We select the type tool, we click here, and we paint the text in pink. Then we type the word Day, for example. We increase its size. We change the font style. Let's increase the text size a bit more. Now we hold Shift, and we select both the background and the text. Then write, click on them and we select Group. Now we go to Treaty and Materials Object, and we select Inflate. Here we are. Next we go to Materials. We go down here and we increase the metallic. We decrease the roughness slightly. Next we go to lighting. We adjust it like this. You can make more adjustments to the lighting if you want. Now we go to Render. We activate Rate Racing. We set the quality to high, and we click on Render. Here we are. This is our three D text. This is how we create a three D text in the Illustrator. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 79. 3D Text with a different Style: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create a D text. We starts by adding a background, we paint it in purple, and we lock the background layer. Now we type our text, for example, D text. We select this font type, we set the font style to bold, and we increase the text size. That's perfect. We paint the text in purple as well, only a little bit darker. Now we select the text. We go to Treaty. In the materials we select extrude, here we are. Now we activate the bevel, we set the Bible shaped to round. We go down here to rotation, and we select the asymmetric top preset. We increase the depth slightly. Next we go to materials, we increase the metallic and we decrease the roughness. Next we go to lighting. We change the light direction like this. We increase the intensity. We rotate the light like this. We set the height to 42 degrees. Next to go to Render, we activate Rate Racing. We set the quality to high. Then we click on Render. We wait for a bit. Here we are. We can activate the shadow. Here it is, perfect. This is the final look of our Tree D design. This is how we can create a Tree D text. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. 80. third week: The third week will be for those of you that want to work as designers, whether it's for companies or as freelancers, by selling their designs online. As you will learn to create commercial designs, designs like logos, flyers, business cards, T shirts, We will create multiple commercial designs from scratch and we will take a look at the artboard. 81. First Logo Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create our first logo using the Adobe Illustrator software. We will create multiple logos and you will learn multiple techniques that will help you design your own logo. The first logo we'll create is the one you see right here. We start by opening a new page, then we select the ellipse tool. We hold shift plus old draw circle in here. We increase the stroke size. Now you may think that your next step would be duplicating the circle like this. Then we decrease its size and put it here. This may give us the result that we want, but the space between each circle will not be the same. That will cause us some problems. We will see a better way. Now we keep the first circle, we remove the stroke and the fill, then we go to the appearance window. We activate the stroke from here, we paint it in any color. We increase its size. We double click on the color. So we get this window and then we change the color that's perfect. Now we will use the offset path to duplicate the circle. We click on Add New Stroke, Then we go to FX menu to path, and we select Offset Path. We set the offset. We adjusted based on the results we want. -25 points is good. We click okay. We add another stroke again. We go to FX menu path, and we select Offset Path. Then we set the offset to -50 points to keep the same space. 25 plus 25 equal 50. Now we click okay. We close the appearance window. We select the whole shape. We go to object, and we select Expand Appearance. Then we select the scissors tool, and we cut the shape from here. We add a dot on each shape. Now we select the whole shape, we write to click on it, and we select Group. Now we can separate the shape, we lower the bottom half a bit, we delete this part of the shape, we copy the color code of this part. Then we activate the fill, and we paste the color code in here, make sure we have the exact same color. Now we select the type tool. We type a text in here, for example. We type company name. Of course, you can type whatever you want in here. Now we increase the text size. We change the phone type for the word company. We change the phone style as well. We change the phone type and style for the word name as well. We select the logo, right click on it and we select Group. We center it. We center the text as well. Perfect, Here we are. This is the final look of our design. You can use the same techniques to create your own similar logo for your Youtube channel or for your clients. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 82. second logo Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create this logo right here. We will see how to create this type of logos. Now we create a new page. We select the Ells tool, move the fill, we select stroke. We hold shift, and we draw a circle in here. Next we hold old, and we drag the circle here to duplicate it. We put the two circles here. We duplicate both of them, and we put them right here. We zoom in on the circles. We want the circles to intersect perfectly like this. We select the circles, and like I said, we want them to intersect perfectly. To avoid any problems, we will use this part of the shape. We set the circles like this to get the shape here, it's the most important part. We select the shape builder tool and we merge these parts to get this shape here. We delete the rest, we hold old, and we select the parts that we want to delete. Like this perfect, this is the shape we want. We drag the shape here and we delete these leftovers. Now it's just the shape like this. Next we duplicate the shape in here. We put it right here. We select both shapes. We select the shape builder tool, we hold old, and we select this part to the deleted perfect. Now we slick the shape and we painted in a gradient color. We set the first color pink, and we set the second color, for example, red. Remove the shaped stroke. Now we select the other parts of the shape. We remove its stroke, and we activate the fill. Then we paint it in the same color, just a darker shade. Now we duplicate the shape and we put it right here. To repeat what we just did, we click Command plus Defer Mac, or Control plus Defer Windows. Here we are. We decrease the size of all three shapes. We put them here, and we rotate them to put the top part and the lower part in the same vertical line. We go to view rulers. And we select show rulers. We put a vertical ruler here. We select the shapes, and we rotate them like this. Now we remove the ruler. Next we change the color of this shape. We paint this part in blue. Same thing for the spots, just a different shape. Here we are. This is our local. Now we add a text. We type creative design for example. You can type whatever you want in here. We increase the text size. We select this phone type for the word creative, and this phone type for the word design. Then we change its style to bold. We put the text here. We select all shapes, right click, and we select Group. We center the logo and the text. Perfect. Here we are. This is our logo. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 83. Third Logo Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create this design right here. We open a new page. It does not matter in which size. Next we show the rulers. We add a vertical and a horizontal ruler to set a center for our logo. Now we draw a circle in here. We duplicate it. We remove the fill from both circles. We put the second circle in here. We select both of them. We select the shape builder tool, we hold old, and we delete these parts of the circles. We drag this shape here and we remove the other beneath it. We put it here. We decrease its size slightly. We make sure that its center is on the ruler. Now we select the shape, then we go to Edit. We select Copy, then edit again, and we select Paste. In front, we hold Alt and Shift. Then we decrease the size of the shape like this, we put it right here. Now we use the pendol to add this shape. In here, we select all shapes. We use the Shape builder tool to delete this part of the shape. We get this shape, we select it, then we select the Rotate tool. We hold Alt and we click on the center we created. Now we need to add multiple copies of the shape rotated around this center with the same space between each shape. We go back, we get the calculator. Since we will add seven shapes, we divide 360 degrees by 7360/7 We get this number. This is the space between each shape. Make sure that we have the same space between each of them. We set the number in here. We type 51, then we click copy. Here we are. Now we just need to repeat this process. We simply click command plus D until we get seven shapes in here. Now we slick the inside shape. We hold shift and we slick all the inside shapes. Then we rotate them like this to put them right here perfect. This is our design. We just need to paint it. We paint this shaped ingredient. We set the gradient angle to 90 degrees. We paint it. We remove its stroke. Now we sl the second shape and we hold shift, then we slick the other shapes. Now we use the eye dropper tool to copy the same color from the first shape and paste it into the rest of the shapes. Now we have a problem with the gradient angle. We want the lighter shade of the color in the inside and the darker one on the outside. We can select the gradient tool and we rotate the gradient angle manually for each shape. Or we can simply select the shape and set the gradient angle to 90 degrees in here. The second shape, we set the angle to 180 degrees. Third, one to -90 degrees, one -90 degrees as well. We keep the other two as they are. Now we select all the small shapes, We paint them in the same color. Using the Eyedropper tool, we will adjust the Grady angle for the small shapes as well. 90 degrees in here, 180 degrees in here, -90 degrees in here, -90 degrees in here as well. Perfect. Now we select all shapes. Right click and select group. We hold shift and we decrease the size of the shape. We put it at the center. Now we hide the rulers, since we don't need them anymore. We select the type tool. We click here and we type green design. Of course, you can type whatever you want. Now, increase the text size. We select the word design, and we change its font type and style. We center the logo and the text perfect. Here we are. This is our logo. You can use what we have learned here to create multiple designs like this one. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 84. Fourth Logo Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to use the grid to create our logo design. To show the grid, we go to Illustrator, then Preferences. We select General. We have this menu, and select Guides and Grid. We have here the guides, and here we have the grid. We keep these settings intact, unless you wanted to change the grids color. We change it from here. Now we click okay. We go to View, and we show Grid. Here we are. This is the grid. If we want to change the grid color, we go back. We select the color we want. For example, this color, We zoom in on these squares. As you can see, each big square have eight vertical squares and eight horizontal squares. Now what if we want to change that? We go back to guides and grid. We adjust the subdivisions. For example, we set it to four. Quick click, okay. And here we are. Now we have four vertical squares and four horizontal ones. We send the grid color back to gray. Now this grid will help us with the measurements of our logo. For example, we select the pen tool and we draw this box. We measured our box using the big squares. We have pre, horizontally and vertically. We have a perfect shape. We can measure our design using big squares or small ones. Now we start creating our logo. Use the pen tool to draw this line. We add another line here. Add another here, we remove the fill. We keep going like this. We want the same width, so we set three small squares. Now we close the shape, we activate the fill, we paint the shape. Now we select the direct selection tool. We sl this, we hold shift, and we select this one as well. Then we drag up to get a rounded edge. This is the shape we want. Now we select it, we go to edit, we select copy, then edit again, and we select Paste. In front, we paint this shape in yellow. We select the rotate tool, and we rotate it by 180 degrees. We click okay. Then we put it right here. We have three squares in the width of both shapes, and we have a space of three squares between the two shapes from all sides. We use the grid to create a design with perfect measurements. This is a simple logo. Now we add a text to it. For example, we type business design. The text is optional because not all logos have text. Now we increase the text size, we center it, we change its font type. You can select any font you like. Here we are. This is our logo. This is how we use the grid to create logos in the Illustrator software. After we are done, we go to View and we select Hide Grid to hide the grid. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 85. Fifth Logo Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create this logo right here. Now we select the ellipse tool. We hold Shift plus old, and we draw a circle in here. We remove the fill, we duplicate the circle. We hold shift plus O, and we decrease the size of the circle. Now we select both circles. Double click on the blend tool. We set the spacing to specified steps. We type the number three in here. We click okay. Then we go to object blend, and we select Make. Here we are, we hold old and we deck the shape here to duplicate it. We put it here. We get our shape in here. Now if we select the shape, we select everything. We select both shapes. We go to object and expand. We get this window. We click okay. Now we select this circle, right click, and wilt ungroup. Same thing for the other one. Right click and wilt ungroup. Now we select both shapes. We select the Shape Builder tool. We select this shape in here, we selected the parts that we will use. Now we hold old and we delete the rest. Here we are. We select our shape, we activate the fill, Here we are in the original logo. I remove these parts here, you can keep or remove them. If we remove them, we get this logo. Like I said, the choice is yours. This is how we create this logo by merging grids together. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 86. Letters Logo: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will see how to create a logo using letters. We start by selecting the line segment tool. We hold Shift and we draw a line in here. We paint it in black, increase the stroke size. Now we select the selection tool we hold old, and we drag the line up here to duplicate it. We can put them like this, or we can reverse it and put them like this. Now we select both lines. Then we go to Object Blend, And we select Make. We have multiple lines in here. Now double click on the blend tool. We set the space into specified steps. We decrease this number until we get the result we want. I will set it to 42. You can select any number you like. We click okay. Next we go to Effect, Distort and Transform. And we select zig zag. We can use this shape and adjust its size, or we can select smoot to make it look like this. Then we adjust the size, select the one you like, then click Okay. Next we go to Object, and we select Expand Appearance.

Next we go to Pathfinder, and we select Unite. We put the letter here, make sure that the letter is in front of the shape. Now we select the letter and the shape behind it. Then right click and select Clip Mask. Here we are. This is our logo. You will find a lot of companies that use similar logos. We can select the shape from its layer and we adjust its size and position. If we want, we can rotate it and adjust it anyway we like. This is how we create a logo using letters. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 87. Fourth Homework: Hello and welcome to this video. It's homework time. After we learned how to create several logos, I would like you to create this logo here. It's very simple, and I will see you in the next video to create this logo together. 88. Create Fourth Homework: In the former video, I have asked you to create this logo. In this video, we will create it together. We create a new page in any size. We start by drawing the grid using the line segment tool. We hold Shift and we draw a straight vertical line in here. We hold Alt and we draw the line here. To duplicate it, we duplicate the line multiple times, but this time we simply click command plus D to repeat the last move with it. Command plus for Mac, and control plus D for Windows. Here we are. Now we use the rotate tool to rotate the lines by 45 degrees. Next we go to edit. We select Copy, then edit again, and we select Paste. In front, the lines are duplicated. We rotate them again by 90 degrees. Here we are. This is our grid. Now, we use the segment line tool to add a line in here, The whole shift, and we draw the line. Then we select the whole grid. We select the shape builder tool, then we merge these shapes. We keep the parts, and we merge these shapes. Next, we merge these ones. Now we slack the fill, and we paint these parts in black. Now we slack the rest of the grid, and we delete it. We keep only the shapes we painted in black, perfect. Now we select all the shapes. We remove their stroke, and we paint this shape in blue. We select all the shapes right click, and we select Group. Then we can center them without any problem. Now we add a text, we type triangle, for example. We change the text font type, we increase its size. We increase the space between the letters like this. Finally, we align the text to the center, perfect. Here we are. This is our logo and helps create it using the grid. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 89. First Flyer Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will learn how to create a flyer design. We will create this flyer design here from scratch. Everything in this design is created using the Illustrator software. We start by creating our design page. We go to the print menu and select the four document. It's the standard size for the flyers. You can use the five documents as well if you want. I will go with the four. We keep these settings here as they are, and we create now we will set the colors we will use for the design. You can create your own color palette by adding four circles in here. You select them, you remove the stroke, you add the colors you will use. We add a color palette here to access the colors easily. Instead of copying the colors each time in the resources folder, you will find the colors I used for this design. You can add them here to use them. Now we add a new layer. Now we will draw these shapes here. We select the rectangle tool, We hold shift and we draw a box in here. Then we use the eye dropper tool to paint it in one of these colors. I will paint it in orange. Now we zoom in on the box. We add a rectangle here. We change its color to separate it from the other shape. We rotate this rectangle, we rotate it by 145 degrees.

We have one more shape left. This one right here. We slick the elapse tool, we slick the stroke, We hold shift and we add a circle inside the box. We paint it in any color. And we increase the stroke size. We hold shift plus old, and we decrease the shape size until the edge of the circle align with the edge of the box. Now we select the scissors tool and we cut the shape from four spots. If we try to change the color of this part, it will change the color of the fill, not the stroke, but it's okay. Remember the stroke size is 14 points. We paint it in orange. We activate the stroke and we set the stroke back 14 points. Same thing here. We select this part, we paint it in white.

Perfect. We just the ship slightly. That's better. Here we are. This is our flyer. So far we only have to add the content in the middle here. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video to complete our flyer design. 91. Adding Text to The Flyer Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we continue working on our flyer design. Now we use the type tool to add a text in here. You can type whatever you want in here. For me, I will type Flyer Business. We increase the text size. We change the font type for the word Flyer. I will drag the page to the left so I can see the font type. This font looks good. We change the font type for the word business as well. We decrease the size of the text slightly. We put it right here. Paint the word flyer in dark blue and the word business in orange. We pull the text up a bit. Perfect. Now we will add more text. You add the text based on your design. Since this is just an example, we will use the lorum Epsom text. This is a dummy text used by designers. We copy this text, we use the type tool to add a rectangle in here. We paste the text inside it. We set the text size, and we change its font type. We set a space between the lines. We select the headline, and we change its font style to bold. Then we increase its size. We add a circle in here. We paint it in orange.

We increase the text size. We paint the slash symbol in orange to make sure that the whole design is perfect. Here we are. This is the final look of our flyer design. As you can see, we used four colors in this design. When you create a similar design, choose your colors at the beginning, four or three colors. And make sure that these colors are good with each other. And try not to use any colors outside the ones you selected to make sure that your design looks professional. This is how we create a flyer design using the Illustrator software. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 92. Second Flyer Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will create this flyer right here. We starts by creating a new page. We go to the print page and we select the four documents. We keep the settings as they are, and we click Create. Now we create the background. We add a rectangle covering the top parts of the page. We remove its stroke, we paint it in blue. Now we use the pen tool to add a dot on the shapes path right here. Then we use the direct selection tool to lower the dot like this. While we lower the dot, we hold shift so that the dot does not move right or left. We put it here. We may need to adjust it later, but for now, this is the shape we want. We lock its layer so that it does not move. Now we add a box in here. We adjust one of these dots to make its edges rounded like this. We rotate the box by 45 degrees. We change the box color so that we can separate it from the background. Now we put it here, and we duplicate it. We put the copy here. We put it here because we will need it later. It's easier to keep it here rather than create it again at that time. Now we put the box here. We decrease its size slightly, we center it, Now we will add an image inside the box. We go to the resources folder and we add the image. We decrease its size, we put it over the box. We put its layer under the box layer to mess an image into a shape. In the Illustrator software, we put the shape over the image. The opposite of the Photoshop, where we put the image over the shape. Now we select the image and the shape, we select them like this or we slick one of them. We hold shift and we slk the other. Then right click and make cup in mask. Here we are. The image is inside the shape. To adjust the image, we double click on it. And then we adjust its position to sit the part of it we want to show. To go back, we double click outside the image. Next we add a stroke to the box. As you can see, the image is now a group the image and the shape. Now we sl the shape layer and we activate the stroke. We paint it in gray and we increase its size to 18 points. Now we will add the shadow effect. We go to effect stylize and we slack drop shadow. We set the effect opacity to 31% We keep the rest as it is. If you want to increase or decrease the opacity, feel free on second thought, I will set it to 36 36% That's better. Here we are. This is the shadow effect. Now we select the image, we go to edit, Copy, then edit again. And we select Paste in front to duplicate it. Now we put the second image here. We open its layer, and of course we need to change this image, So we delete it. Now we add the second image. We decrease its size, we put it here, and we put its layer below the shape layer. Here we are. It was masked automatically. We can double click on the image and we select which parts we want to show. Now we close this group, we duplicate the image again. Edit, copy, then edit base in front. Put it here. We want to change the image. So we delete it. We add the next image. We decrease its size. We put it here. And we put its layer below the shape layer. Here we are, It's masks. And we can adjust it if we want. Now we duplicate this box. We decrease its size, just the rounded edges slightly. We put it here on the image. We decrease its size a bit more. That's better. Now we paint it in the same color as the background, and we decrease its opacity. We duplicate the box, and we add it to the other images. We duplicate this box again. We put it on the top left corner. We paint it in light blue. We duplicate it, and we put it on the top right corner. Don't worry about the parts outside the document. We will fix them. Now we put this box here. We decrease its size. It's rounded edges slightly. We remove the fill and we sit the stroke to 18 points. We sit it to 14 points, that's better. And we paint it in white. We decrease the box slightly, we decrease the stroke size to ten points. That's even better. Now we will hide the parts of the design that are outside the documents. We add a rectangle covering the whole page. We remove its stroke, we select everything, the whole design, right? Click on the rectangle and we select Make Clipping Mask. Here we are. All the parts outside, the documents are gone. Now we add the logo, we decrease its size, we put it right here. Here we are. This is our flyer design so far. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video to finish our design. 93. Adding Text to The Design: Hello and welcome to this video. We keep working on our flyer design.

We grab the design page a little bit to the left so that we can see the font type we want. You can select any font you like. I will go with this one, and we select a bold font style. Now we align the text to the center. Now we paint the word business in white. We decrease the size of the word flyer. Then we increase the space between its letters. Now we will add the flyer content. If this flyer is for a company, for example, you add the company info. But since this is just an example, we would add a dummy text using the Lorem Epsom website. So we copy the text. We go back. We use the type tool to draw a rectangle here. We decrease the text size, then we paste the text in. Here we select the text and we align it like this. We increase the size of the first sentence, we add space between the first sentence and the rest of the text. Software still adds space between the letters. We select the text and we set the space to zero. We only needed that for the word flyer. Now we increase the text size. We change its font style, we add some space between the lines. We center the text perfect. Now we add the next paragraph. We copy this text. We go back. We add a rectangle using the type tool and we paste the text inside it. We just the dict angle like this.

For example, I created these icons here. Here we are. This is the final look of our flyer design. We have created a professional flyer from scratch. You can create a similar flyer for your own business or for your clients. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 94.

In the blend, we set the top to 0.125 Then we click here to apply the same size to the bottom, the left, and the right. To apply that, you need to activate the link. Now we add the blend to serve as a margin, because when we print our design, the printer cuts apart from the design. Click Create. Here we are, and we add the second art board manually. We put this art board here. We click on the artboard tool, We make sure this is activated and we hold old. Then we drag the art board here to duplicate it. Here we are. We have two artboards.

Business Card Design Second Face: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will finish working on our business card design as we will create the front face of the card. We start by creating a new layer. We will add all the files to the layer so that we can move multiple objects at the same time. If we want, we only need to select the layer, then move what we added to it. Now we add a rectangle here, we paint it in gray. Zoom in.

Now we slack the width tool and we adjust the shape to look like this. At the end, we just the shape slightly from here, that's better. We just it from here as well. Now we select all three shapes. Click on them and we select Group. Now we have one shape and we can move the whole shape. We put the shape outside the page. Now we use the pen tool to draw the next shape. You don't have to draw the same shapes I'm drawing. You can use your own shapes if you want. Here is our shape. No, it just it like this. We paint this shape in the same color, and we put it outside as well. Now we throw the next shape. We use the ellipse tool to row a circle in here. We swap the fill with the stroke, We hold old, and we drag the circle here to duplicate it. We select both circles, We select the shape builder tool, we hold old, and we delete these parts of the circle. Now we swap the stroke with the fill, just the shape like this. We have two shapes. We delete this one. Now we select the pin tool, we add a.in here and another here. We zoom in on the shape, and we add another.in here. Now we use the direct selection tool to put this dot here. And we adjust the shape like this. Now we sl the ad anchor point and we add two dots in here. Then we adjust the shape like this. Perfect. This is our shape. We put it outside and we draw the next shape. We add a circle in here. We swap the field with the stroke, and we duplicate the circle. We put it here. We select both circles. We select the shape builder tool, we hold old, and we delete these parts. Now we select the shape and we swap the stroke with the fill. We decrease the size of the shape slightly. We select the pin tool and we draw a curved line like this. We collect enter, we activate the stroke. We select the stroke, and we increase its size. Now we duplicate the leaf. We slick the rotate tool, and we rotate it by 45 degrees. We put it here. Duplicate the leaf again. We put it right here. We duplicate the leaf again. We rotate it by 90 degrees this time. And we put it right here. We duplicate it one more time, and we put it right here. Let's adjust the shape a bit like this. Perfect. We select all these four leaves and we decrease their size a bit. We put them here, that's better. Now we select the stroke. We go to object path, and we select outline stroke to convert it into a shape. Next we select all parts of the shape. We write Cl, and we select group. Then we put the shape outside. Now we draw a circle in here. We paint it in blue. This is the second color in the design. The design will have two colors, green and blue. We put it here perfect. These are all shapes that we would use in the design. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video to complete our design. 97. Merge Shapes for The T Shirt Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we keep working on our T shirt design. We already created the shapes that we would use in the design. Now we select the ellipse tool, we activate the stroke. We hold shift plus old and we draw the circle in here. We paint the stroke in white and we increase its size. This, we can see it. Our design will be inside the circle. Now we lock the circle. Next we add the text. We select the type tool. We increase the text size. We paint it in white. We type the word push. We change the font type. I will go with the Billion Dreams font.

We paint it in blue, and we put it here. And here we put some in green and some in blue, perfect here. This is the final look of our design. Now we remove the circle. Here we are. We don't need these shapes anymore, so we delete them as well. This is the final look of our design. That's it for this video, and I will see you in the next video to add this design to a T shirt. Up. 98. T Shirt Mockup: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will add our design to a T shirt mock up. First, we need to export our design. We need to hide the background. We go to file Export, and we select Export. As Select where we want to export our design at. We name the design and we click Export. We get this window in the background color setting. We select Transparent. Then we click Okay. We go to the Resources folder. This is the T shirt mock up image. We add the image to Adobe Illustrator software. We zoom out, We locate our design, we add it to the T shirt we adjusted to fit it perfectly. Here we are. This is our T shirt design. You can create similar designs and sell them online. You can even add your designs to hoodies, caps, mugs, et cetera. This is how we create a T shirt design. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching in our CO in the next video. 99. forth week: In the fourth and last week, we will create advanced designs. As you will learn how to create professional designs by creating and editing multiple shapes, and by setting colors, lighting, and sizes, you will see how to add multiple effects and details to make your designs look more realistic and professional. We will also create an asymmetric design that is similar to a professional red design. 100. The Ice Cream Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we'll see how to create this ice cream design. If you go to the resources folder, you will find this draw. We will use it in creating our design. We starts by creating a new file. We select this document size, we set the orientation to portray. If you want to use a different size than this one, go ahead. Now we Create. Next we go to the Resources folder, and we add the drawing to the Adobe Illustrator software. Here it is. You put it right here. We name its layer drawing. Then we lock the layer. We add a new layer. We put it below the drawing layer. We unlock the drawing layer. We select this layer, We go to Properties, and we select multiply, so that we can see the drawing while creating our design. Now we lock the layer, we start drawing our design, we zoom in. We start with the bottom half. We select the polygon tool, we add a polygon here, and we keep holding the mouse while we click on the down arrow from the keyboard to remove sight from the polygon, we click twice to get a triangle. Then we rotate the triangle like this. We put it here, We adjust it to fit with the design Like this. You can draw this health using this method or you can use the pen tool. Now we use the direct selection tool to adjust the angle to be around it. Then we adjust the shape like this. Perfect. Now we select the rectangle tool and we add a rectangle in here. We just its edges to be rounded like this. We paint the ice cream cone in this color. We add a stroke to it in this color. We set the stroke size to three points. Now we set this rectangle, we paint it in this color. Then we add a stroke to it in the same color. We set the stroke size to three points, or we can copy the color code of the stroke. We paste it in the rectangle stroke to make sure we have the same color. Then we increase the stroke size. This is just to show you that there are multiple ways to do the same thing. Now we collect outside the shape, We select the pen tool, we zoom in here, we hide the drawing, and we start adding some details. We draw this shape here like this. I will remove the stroke because we don't need it here. We close the shape and we paint it in the same color, just a little bit darker. This is the shadow effect. Now we zoom out. We add a rectangle here. We rotate it like this, we put it here. This here will be a light reflection effect. We painted in the same color, only lighter. Now we will add more details here. We use the pen tool to draw this line. Here we click Enter. We activate the stroke. We copy the color code from the stroke we painted in the same color as the comb shaped stroke. We paint it into the line stroke. And then we increase its size to three points. We can increase the line's length like this. We hold old and we drag the line here to duplicate it. We put the second line here, then we click on command plus D to duplicate the line three more times. Command D, command plus D, then command plus D. Perfect. Now we duplicate this line. We rotate it like this. We put it here. We hold Alt, and we drag it here to duplicate it. Then we click amend plus D to duplicate it again. Now we hide this rectangle here, we zoom out. We select the whole design. We select the shape builder tool. We hold alt and we delete these parts of the design. Here we are. Now we bring back this rectangle. Here we are. The ice cream cone is completed. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video to continue working on our design. 101. Top Half Of The Ice Cream Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will continue working on our ice cream design. We start by showing the drawing, then we add a new layer. We start drawing this part using the pen tool. All we have to do is to follow the drawing. We remove the field to draw easily. Here we are. We switch to the fill and we paint the shape in this color. We will copy the color code of this stroke. We add the stroke to this shape, and we paste the color code to paint it in the exact same color. Then we increase the stroke size to three points. We zoom in on these spots here, and we fix the curve. We hide the drawing. And we use the Curvature tool to fix the curves like this. Now we will add the shadow and the light effects. We draw this shape here using the pen tool. Here we are. We remove the stroke. We paint the shape in the same color, only darker. Next, we throw this shape here. We zoom in here. And we use the curvature tool to just the shape like this, perfect. Now we remove the stroke and we paint the shape in this color. We zoom in here and we add another shape in here. We throw it along the edge of the ice cream shape. We paint it in this color. We use the curvature tool to adjust the curves of the shape perfect. This is the first ice cream layer. Now we will draw the next one. We show the drawing, we draw the next part. Like this, we close the shape. We don't have to follow this line here because this part will not be visible to hide it. We just lower the shape layer down here. Here we are. Now we use the eye dropper tool to paint this part in the same color of the first ice cream layer. We increase the stroke size to three points and we will add the same shadow and light effects. We Zm in and we draw the shadow effect in here. We painted in this color. We hide the drawing and withdraw the light effect. We drove the first shape here. We use the curvature tool to adjust the curves. We paint the shape in this color. Now we drove the second shape in here. Paint it in this color. We showed the drawing and then we start drawing the last ice cream layer. We close the shape. We lower the shape layer down here, and we paint it in this color. We activate the stroke and we increase its size to three points. We hide the drawing so that we can see our design. We just the curves perfect. Now we add the shadow and the light effects. We draw the first shape here, we painted it in this color.

Now we close this layer, then we add a new one. We will add more details here. We select the pencil tool and we draw this shape here. We add more shapes here, like this, the shapes disappear, but it's okay. We just keep drawing. Now we select this layer and we paint them in this color. Here we are. This is our ice cream design. That's it for this video. I will see you in the next video to add this and the background. 102. Ice Cream Design Background: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we continue working on our ice cream design. We start by adding a new layer. We zoom in, and we start drawing this cherry. Here we add a circle here. We adjust the circle slightly because the cherry is not perfectly round. We paint the cherry in red. We activate the stroke, we paint it in black. Then we set it size to two points. We hide the drawing so that we can see what we have done so far. We paint the stroke of the ice cream layers in black as well. Perfect. We bring the drawing back. We zoom in here. We use the pen tool to draw this part here. Now we add a line here. We select the line and the shape, we select the shape builder tool, we select this part, then we hold old and we these parts here.

Then we hold Shift plus old and we increase the size of the circle like this. Perfect. Let's paint it in a lighter shade, that's better. Now we add a white small circle here. We duplicate the circle multiple times and we scatter it all over the design. Each circle in a different size, like this. Perfect. Here we are. This is the final look of our ice cream design. I hope that you have enjoyed creating this design. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video. 103. The Isometric Design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will start creating an isometric design. The one you see right here. You will find a drawing of the design in the resources folder. This is just an early draft. We will add a lot more details to it, not just this. Now you can draw this design using a pen, a ruler, and a piece of paper. Or you can create it using the Illustrator software. As you can see, this design have three lines. Let me lock this layer first. As I was saying, we have three lines. In this design, we have two horizontal lines and a vertical one. To draw this design using the software we add in your layer, and we use the line segment tool to draw this line here. This is the first horizontal line. Then we duplicate the line. We put one here and one here. Then we draw another line here. This is the second horizontal line. We put it here, and then we duplicate it. We put one here and another here. We have our horizontal lines. Now we draw a vertical one here. We hold shift, and with draw to draw a straight line, we put one here, then here and here. Now we select the Shape Builder tool and we delete the parts of the lines that are outside the design. We hide the drawing to see the shape we got. Here it is. We need to adjust the shape here, but that's okay. This is just an example. Now, now we bring the drawing back, and we keep going like this until we create the whole design. All we have to do is duplicate our lines and create the design. Then we use the Shape Bilder tool to remove any unwanted parts. Now we duplicate this line. We put it here, here, and here. Then we add a line here. We duplicate it. We put one here, another here, and finally another one in here. Then we use the Shapebuilder tool to delete the parts we don't need. We select the whole design. We select the shape builder tool we hold old and we delete the parts that we don't need. Like this. We are, we got the second shape we want. Like I said, we keep going like this until we draw the whole design. Then we delete this layer, because this was just to show you how to create the drawing that we would use for our isometric design. In the next video, we will start creating our design. We will follow this row in here and we will add more details to it to get professional design. But first we select the drawing layer. We unlock it, we go to Properties, and we select multiply in here that when we draw our design, we don't throw it over the drawing. We go back to layers. We lock this layer, we add a new layer, then we put the new layer below the drawing layer. We can see the design drawing, then we follow it and row over it, for example. Now we can see the drawing. But when we lower the new layer and put it below the drawing layer, we can see the drawing and we can follow it. Now that's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video to start working on our design. 104. Create The Ground Floor: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we start creating our isometric design. We start by naming this layer drawing so that everything can be organized. Then we select the layer, We go to properties, and we select multiply in here. Then we lock the drawing layer, we make sure that it's always on top. Then we select the next layer and we start drawing our design. We draw the first shape. We paint the shape in gray. Now we row the next part. We paint this part in a lighter shade, like in reality in three D shapes, we have one sunny side and another side with shadow. This is why one side is brighter than the other, because if we paint both parts in the same color shade, the shape will look flat and three dimensional. Now we select both shapes and we remove their stroke. Now we select the Pinto. We activate the stroke, and we draw this shape here. The shape needs to be fixed in here, I will use the crevatory tool to fix it. We use the crevitory tool to draw curves. But I like to use it to fix mistakes because it's very practical. I fix the shape like this, perfect. Now we paint this shape ingradients color. We select the first color, gray, and the second color will be in black. We set the gradient angle to 90 degrees and we remove the shaped stroke. Now we select the shape and we duplicate it. We go to Edit, copy, then Edit, Paste. In front, we hold shift and old, and we decrease the size of the shape like this. Now we slack the shape that's in the back, and we paint it in solid color. We paint it in gray. Now we add a new layer. We draw the floor. Now we will draw the poll. We slack the pinole and we draw the poll shape. We zoom in to make sure that the shape is perfect. As you can see, the shape needs to be fixed. I will use the curviture tool to fix it. Like this, I can use the direct selection tool or another tool to fix the shape, but like I said, I like to use the Curvature tool to do so. Now we duplicate the shape, Edit, copy, then edit, Paste. In front we hold shift plus old and we decrease the size of the shape slightly. We paint the ship in blue. One thing I forgot we go to file Document Color mode and we select RGB color so that the colors are clearer. I need to fix the ship slightly like this. And from here as well. Perfect. Now we will throw the shadow. We click outside to remove the selection. Then we select the pen tool, and we draw this shape in here. Now we close the shape and we paint it in a darker color shade. We just the shape slightly from here. That's better. Now we will row this shape here. We add a new layer, and we draw the shape using the pencil. We paint the shape in this color. Now we duplicate the shape. We select it, we go to edit, copy, then edit, Paste. In front, we hold shift plus old, and we decrease the shape size. We paint the shape in green. This is the grass part. Now we zoom in on the shape. We use the ellipse tool to do a circle in here. We paint the circle in ingradients color. We select the color green in here. Same thing here, only much darker. Here is the circle. Take a look at it. I will adjust the color slightly like this. That's better. We put the circle here. Now we duplicate the circle several times. Like this. We hold shift and we select all the circles. Then red click on them and we select Group. Now we hold old, and we drag them here to duplicate them. We duplicate them again and again, and we keep duplicating the circles until we cover the whole area. Now we hold shifts and we select old circles. Then right click, and we select Group. Now we go to effect, distort and transform. And we select roughen, we increase the size, we increase the detail. Like this. Then we click okay. Now we go to Object, and we select Expand Appearance. Here we are. This is our grass. Now the grass does not need to be 100% realistic. This is just drawing. We only give the impression to the viewer that this here is grass. We will repeat the process in here. We add a new layer. We draw this shape using the pentul. Now we duplicate the shape. We go to edit, copy, then edit, paste. In front, we hold shift plus old, then we decrease the shape size like this. Finally we paint it in green. Now we zoom in on the shape and we add a circle in here. We paint it. Ingredients color. We set the first color. Then the second color, we set the gradients angle. We put the circle here, and then we duplicate it multiple times. We put them here, then we hold shift and we select all the circles. Now, right click and we select group, we group them so that we duplicate the whole line and not the circle one by one. Now we duplicate the line and we keep going until we cover the whole area. Here we are. Now we select all the circles, then right click and welk group. Then we go to effect, distort and transform. And we slag roughing, we increase the size and detail. We click, okay, here we are. This is our grass, this is our design so far. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video to draw the house. 105. Create The House First floor: Hello and welcome to this video. We continue creating our design.

Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video to create this last part in here. 107. Adding Details To the Isometric Design: Hello and welcome to this video. We continue working on our design. We will throw this small wall in here. We zoom in here, We select the pen tool and we start throwing this shape. We close the shape, we hide the rowing, Then we throw this shape in here. We remove the fill and we close the shape. I will use the curvature tool to adjust this shape slightly. That's better. Now we activate the fill and we paint this shape in this color. Here we are. This is the first part of the wall. Now we move to the other side, we show the drawing and we draw this part. We close the shape and we paint it in this color. Now we draw the inside parts of the wall, we painted in this color. The front parts of the wall here will be in glass. So we start drawing it. All we have to do is to follow the drawing. We close the shape. We use the selection tool to select the shape, and we decrease its opacity. We paint it slightly in white to make it look like this. Now we draw this line here, all over the spart. We activate the stroke, we slick the line, and we increase the stroke size. We hide the drawing so that we can see the line. Here it is. We paint it in white. Here we are. This is our design. So far, we have a slight problem in here. We delete this part. We zoom in, and we replace it with this shape. A smaller shape looks better here. Now we zoom in here, We add a new layer, and we draw this shape in here. We duplicate the shape. We select it, we hold old, and we drag it up here. To duplicate it, we paint the two shapes in these colors. We zoom in, then we use the curvature tool to adjust the shapes. We add a T in here, then we double click on the dot and we drag it here. If we don't double click on the dot before dragging it, the line will be curved when we drag the dot. Same thing here. We add a double click on it and we drag it here. We adjust this shape slightly like this from here as well. Now we hold shift, we select both parts of the shape. Then we hold shift plus old, and we decrease their size. Like this. Perfect. Now we use the ellipse tool to add a circle in here. We zoom in. We use the pen tool to draw this rectangle here on top of the circle. We paint it in gray as well, only a bit darker. Then we add another rectangle in here in the same color. Now we hold shifts and we select both rectangles and the circle, then to colic, and we select group. Now we hold old and we drag the shape to here to duplicate it. Here we are. This is the air event. Now there are a lot of details that you can add to the design. I will show you how to add some of them and then you can use the same tools and techniques to add your own details to the design. Now we add this shape in here. You paint it in this color. We hold old and we duplicate the shape. We drag it right here. Then we duplicate it multiple times using the shortcut command. Plus we are, this is one small detail, this is one small detail. Now we zoom in here, we add a new layer. We start drawing this shape here using the pen tool. This will be the pool lounger or chair. We paint it in yellow. Now we use the pen tool to draw this shape in here. We painted in yellow, only in a darker shape. We zoom in on the shape. We drove this side of the shape to make it look like it's red. We closed the shape and we painted in a darker shape, perfect. Now we will add the legs. We zoom in and we use the pen tool to draw them. We draw the first one here. We draw both sides of it. We paint it in black. We open the chair layer and we lower the legs layer to the bottom to make them look beneath the chair. Now we hold shift and we select both sides of the leg. Then right click, and we select Group. Then we duplicate the leg. We put one here and another in here. Perfect. Now we duplicate the chair, and we put it here. We select both chairs, we decrease their size and we put them in the middle. These are just examples of some of the details that we can add to our design. Now we zoom in here, we open the shape layer. We slack the glass layer and we draw this shape in here. We paint it in discolor, then we lower its layer to here we out here we are. It looks like a light reflection on the glass. We can add another detail. We zoom in here, the glass. We slack the glass window from both sides. We go to Pathfinder and we click on Unite to merge both sides like this in the Resources folder, you'll find this image here. We add it to the software. We hold Shift Plus Old, and we decrease its size. Like this, we put it here. Now we hide the image and we duplicate the glass shape layer. Then we put the image layer between the glass layers. We show the image. We hold shift and we select the image layer and the top glass layer, then right click on them and we select make clipping mask. As you can see, the image is now inside the glass shape. Now we select the image layer, we decrease its opacity like this to give the impression that there are furniture inside the house. This is one of the tricks that we can use to make our design look way better, just make sure to find the proper image. That's it. Thanks for watching. 108. Design Poster: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will start creating this design right here. First we go to the resources folder and you will find a file named project and two images, background and car. We open the file, here we are. This is our project page. We will create our design here. You will find here all the colors we will use in this design. We simply use the Eye Dropper tool to paint our shapes. Instead of selecting the color each time we want to paint an object will take a lot of time and effort. Next we have a drawing of the background. We draw a design first, then we turn it into a full design using the Illustrator software. Here we have the car drawing. First, we add the background drawing to the software. We adjust it to fit the page. We add a new layer, we name its background. We open the drawing layer, and we drag this layer to the background layer. We lock the background layer. Now if we added a new layer over the drawing layer and we added a shape here, we paint it in this color. As you can see, the shape covers the drawing and we can't see what we are doing. We always set the background drawing layer on top so that we can see the design. Now we paint this shape in a lighter shade so that we can see the design better. After we are done, we will repaint it with the color we selected first. Now we add another shape here, then we use the Eye dropper tool to paint it in this color. Here we are. We have our design background to make sure that everything is clear. We name this layer drawing and this layer background, we lock the background layer so that it does not move. In the next video, we will start creating the mountains. That's if this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 109. mountains design: Hello and welcome to this video. We continue working on our design. Now we will draw the mountains. We zoom in here, we add a new layer, we slack the pin tool and we start drawing. The design is already drawn, so all we have to do is to follow the drawing. We start like this. We already saw how to use the pin tool, so you should be fine with using it. Now we close this shape. This is the first shape. We paint it in this color. But as you can see here in the design, this shape have more details. Now we will add those details. We activate the stroke, we paint it in black. We zoom in. We select the pen tool, we need to put the first dot on the shape stroke. Because if it's not on the stroke, when we try to split the shape, it will not happen. We put the first dot on the stroke, we draw this shape. You don't have to draw the same shape. I am rowing. You can draw your own. Now we need to put the last dot on the stroke as well. Then we click Enter. Now we add the second shape, same thing. The first dot is on the stroke, and we start throwing the last dot is on the stroke as well. Then we click Enter Perfect. Now we select all three shapes. We select the Shape Builder tool. We click on the second shape to select it, and we select these two parts. We click and drag, select both shapes. Now we click outside to remove the selection. Now we select this shape and we paint it in this color. Next we select the middle shape and we paint it in this color. Here we are. We have the first mountain shape with its details. We name this layer mountain one. We add a new layer for the next mountain shape. We name it mountain two, we select the pen tule and we start drawing the mountain shape. I forgot to switch to fil, so stroke. That's better. Now we keep going and we close the shape. Here we are. This is the second mountain shape. We paint it in this color. Now we will add the details to this shape as well. We paint the stroke in black. We select the pen tool and we start drawing this shape. Remember the first dot needs to be on the stroke, and the last one as well. Then we click Enter. Now we click outside the shape using the selection tool. Then we go back to the Pin tool and we draw the second shape. Here we are. Now we draw another shape in here like this. Perfect. We select all shapes, We select the shape builder tool and we click on this shape. Now we zoom out. We paint this shape in this color. This shape as well. We painted in the same color. And the last shape we painted in this color perfect. Now we draw this shape here, we slip all the shapes. We go to the shape builder tool and we slip this shape, then we paint it in this color. This is the second the mountain. Now we move to the third one. We zoom in on it and we start growing. We just follow the growing. We close the shape. We paint this shape in this color. Now we add the details. We slick the stroke, we paint it in black. And we draw this shape. We click Enter. Then we draw the next shape. We click Enter. Now we select both shapes. We select the Shape Builder tool. When we select one shape, these two shapes are selected together. We have a problem here I was zoom in on it. I would extend this dot to the outside. Same thing here, perfect out. We just need these two lines to be connected to fix the problem. Now we can use the shape builder tool to select these two shapes. Then we paint this shape in this color. Then we paint this shape in this color, and this shape in this color as well. Now we move to the Forth mountain. We zoom in on it. We select the pin tool and we start growing. Make sure to switch to stroke to make the drawing easier. Now we close the shape. We paint it in this color. Now we paint the stroke in black, and we draw this shape perfect. Now the next shape like this perfect, and the last one perfect. Now we select all the shapes. We select the shape builder tool, and select these three shapes. Now we can select each shape separately. We paint each one like this. We can paint the shapes using the colors outside here. Or we can copy the colors from the existing shapes we drew. Because it's the same colors. Here we are. These are the mountains. We will add more background details to them in the next video. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video. 110. Sky and Mountains: Hello and welcome to this video. We continue working on our design. In this video, we will draw these mountains on the back to show these mountains behind the existing ones. We add a new layer and we lower it below the mountains layers. We put it on top of the background layer. Now we slack the pen tool and we throw the first shape we zoom in. We will only show this part of the shape. So it's okay to start from here because it will not be shown. Like I said, it's okay to draw the shape like this because all of this will be hidden. Now we move to the next shape. Same thing. We draw it using the pen tool. We close the shape. Now we move to the next shape. These mountains that are on the back are not very clear. We add the details to close mountains, but we don't need to do that to these ones. Just like in reality, the further the object is, the less details we can see on it. Now we select this shape, we hold shift, and we select the rest of the shapes. Then we paint them in this color. Here we are. Now we will add the sun. We draw a circle. We put it here. We paint it in this color. We lower its layer down here. Now we will add some birds in here. They are not close, so we don't need to draw an actual bird. We just draw this shape like this. We paint it in the color, we decrease the size of the bird, and we duplicate it multiple times. We change the size and the shape of each one, and we scatter them around. We don't want the same shape duplicated. We need to make some changes to the shapes perfect. Here we are. The top parts of our design is done. Now we will move to the middle parts of the design. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video. 111. The House design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we continue working on our design. We start by adding a new layer. We slack the pen tool and we start drawing this part. Here we zoom in a bit and we follow the drawing. This area will not be shown, so we don't have to be precise in here. It will be covered when we draw the road sign. And finally, we close the shape, we paint the spots in this color. Now we slick the pin tool and we draw the spots. We click Enter, we switch to the stroke, and we paint it in black. Now we select these two parts, We sl the Shape Builder tool, then we click on this part. Now we click outside and we reelect this part. Then we paint it in this color. Here we are. This is our design so far. Now we will draw this house in on it. We select the pin tool and we start drawing the house. We paint the spots in a different color just to separate it from the rest. We will change its color at the end. Now we drove the door. Then this part, you can draw this house in a separate layer if you want, so that you can move the house and edit it later if you want. For me, it's not a problem. I draw multiple objects in a single layer, but if you want, you can draw each object in a separate layer. Now we change the color of the house. We paint this part with this color, this part with this color. We paint this wall in this color. And the front of the house, we paint it in this color. And finally, we paint the door in this color, perfect. Next, we drove the houses windows. We select the rectangle too. We draw the first window like this. Now we go to edit, Copy, then it again, and this time we let paste in front. We paint this shape in a different color. We decrease its size, we zoom in on it to see it's better. I will hide the drone for a second so that you can see the shapes. We select the shape, we go to edit, copy, then it, and this time we let paste in front. Same thing. We decrease the size of this shape like this. Now we change the color of the shapes. We paint this shape in the same color as the door. We paint the middle shape in this color. And the last shape in this color, only a bit darker, perfect to make it look like a re D shape. Now we draw a rectangle in here. We paint it in this color. We hold shift and we select all the shapes. Then red click, and we select Group Here. This is how the window look like. We bring the drawing back, we hold old, and we drag the window here to duplicate it. We duplicate it one more time. We put it right here. Here we are. This is our house. That's better. Now we unlock the background layer. We still have some more details that we need to add in here. So I'll see you in the next video to continue our work. 112. The Grass Design: Hello and welcome to this video. We continue working on our design. We start by adding a new layer. We zoom in here and we will draw this cactus. The spot here is the shadow. We go it as well. Same thing here. Now we draw the thorns. We draw only one, and we duplicate it later. First, we paint the cactus in this color. And we paint the thorn in this color perfect. Now we need to add some details to the cactus. We draw this shape here. We add some details to the second one as well. So shape in here and another one in here. We hold shift, we select these two shapes and we paint them in the color. Next, we select these two shapes and we paint them in the scor, then we paint the shadow shapes in black. We select them and we decrease their opacity to 24% Now we zoom in on the thorn. We remove the drawing, so we get a good look at it. We change its color and we duplicate it multiple times. We change its direction to fit with the shape. We keep going like this. We add multiple ones and scatter them all around the cactus. Here we are now We will add the grass. We add a new layer. We zoom in slick the stroke, and we draw this shape. We switch back to the fill, We copy this color, we just make it a bit darker. We sl the shape, we sl the rotate tool, we put the anchor points at the bottom of the shape we hold old. And we double click on the anchor points. We set the angle to 45 degrees and we click on Copy. Here we are, now we click command plus D to repeat the process until we get this shape. Now we hold shift and we select these four shapes, then we pull them up like this. Now we hold shift and we select the whole shape we write. Click on it and we select Group. Then we decrease the size of the shape. We put it here. We duplicate it multiple times, scattered around like this. For each shape, we change its size and orientation to look different than the rest. We put another here, here we are. We have finished this part. In the next video, we would start working on the bottom half of our design. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video. 113. Design The Bottom Half of the Poster design: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we start working on the bottom half of our design. We start by adding a new layer. We select the pen tool, and we draw this line here. We click Select the Stroke, and we paint it in white. We select the line using the selection tool and we increase the stroke size. You can't see the stroke because it's below the drowing. We set the stroke size to two points. Now we add another line in here. We click, here it is. We add another line here in the middle. We hide the rowing. We slack the middle line and we increase its size. Now we paint the lines. We keep the middle line in white. We paint the bottom line in this color and the top line in this color. We set the size of the top and the bottom lines to three points. Here we are. We'll bring back the drawing now we add a new layer. We zoom in here, we select the pen tool and we start drawing this part. Now we close the shape like this. Then we use the eye dropper tool to paint this shape in this color. Next, we use the pen tool to draw this part. We close the shape as usual. We paint this shape in the sculorow, slap the shape layer, and we paint it in the sculorow. Zoom in on this cactus, and we draw it using the pen tool. We add a new layer and we start drawing. All we have to do is to follow the drawing. Now we draw the shadow parts. We close the shape, we zoom out, we select the shape, and we paint it in the same color of the former cactus. And we paint the shadow part in this color. Now we add some details to the shape. We draw this shape here, we paint it in this color. We add another shape in here, add another in here. And finally, in here, we paint the last shape in this color. Same thing for this one. Now we draw the thorn shape. We zoom in, and we draw it like this. We paint it in the same color we use for the thorn in the first cactus shape. Now we duplicate the thorn shape and we scatter it all around the cactus shape. We change the size and the orientation of the shape based on where we will put it. We keep going like this. We put the last one here, and here we are. We still have some minor details to add in here. And with that, we will complete the designs background. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video. 114. Design The Road Sign: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we continue working on our design. We zoom in here and we will draw this road sign. We starts by adding a new layer here, then we select the rectangle tool and we add a rectangle in here. We use the selection tool. We hold shift, we slk the top right dot on the rectangle and the bottom right one. Then we lower the rectangle like this, same thing, we hold shift, we slk the bottom left dot and the top left one, then we pull them up a bit like this. To tilt the rectangle like this, we zoom in on the rectangle. We slk the direct selection tool, we sl the rectangle, then we click on this dot, and we drag to the inside of the shape that we make, the edges of the rectangle round it. Now we paint the rectangle in this color. Then we go to Edit, Copy, then we go back to Edit, and this time we select Paste in Front. Now we use the selection tool. We hold Shift plus old and we decrease the size of the rectangle in front. Like this, we add a white stroke to it. We adjust it like this. We set its stroke size to 0.5 that's better. We remove the stroke from the rectangle that's in the back. Now we select both rectangles. We hold old and we drag them here. We hold shift and we decrease their size. Then we put them right here. We change the color of the two rectangles. We add a white stroke to the rectangle in front. We set the stroke size to 0.5 in here as well. Now we will draw this pole. We add a rectangle in here like this. We open this layer and we lower the pole layer down to set it behind the sign. We hide the drawing so that we get a good look at our design. We slick the pole layer, we make sure to set the fill in here. Then we slick the gradient window. We sl linear gradients. We set the color here to gray. Now the poll looks like it's in greedy. Now we type root 750, for example. You can type whatever you want in here. We paint the text in white. We change the font type, and we select the bold style. We increase the text size slightly. We put the text here, and we rotate it slightly. We can increase its size a bit. That's better. We put the text here. We can add a line under the text in here. We paint it in white. We add a text in here as well. For example, we type 60 kilometres. We paint it in white. We put it here. We rotate it slightly and we increase its size. Now we need to add the shadow. So we'll bring back the drawing. And we draw the shadow using the pencil. We slick the fill, and we paint it in black. Now we slick the shadow shape, then we decrease its opacity to 24% All the shadows in the design have a 24% opacity. So that everything can be precise, we hide the drawing. Here we are. This is our sign. Now we would draw these stones in here. This is one of the details that make the design look more beautiful and professional. For example, in this design, we could have created only the mountains, the road. And then we add the car, and that's it. But these small details here like the birds, the sun, the mountains that are far in the background, and this cactus and all the rest. These details are what makes the design look better and the more professional. Now this takes time and effort and some patients to create. Instead of creating the design in an hour, for example, with all the details. It will take about six or 7 hours if you're going to create it on your own without any help. But at the end, it will be worth it. Always make sure to pay attention to the details. Because like I said, it's what separates a professional design from a normal one. Because the lack of details make the design look shallow, unprofessional, and ugly. Now we draw these stones, we add a new layer, and we draw them using the pencil. We paint the stone in the color. We zoom in on the stone again. Now we add some details to the stone. We draw this line on the stone using the pen tool. We click Enter. We activate the stroke and we paint it in black. We lock all these layers. We keep only the stone layer unlocked. Now we select the stone and the line we draw on it, we select the shape builder tool, we zoom in, we hold old, and we lead the parts of the stroke outside the stone. We sl the parts of the stone, now we zoom out. We slk the side of the stone and we paint it in discolor, perfect. Now we zoom in back on the stone. We keep adding more details. We draw this line, we activate the stroke, we slick the shape builder tool, we hold old, and we delete the parts that are outside the shape. We slick this part of the stone and we paint it in this color. We have one more shape to add. We draw it here, We activate the stroke and we paint it in black. Now we slick the shape builder tool, we hold old, and we delete this part. Then we slick this part of the stone to separate it from the rest of the stone. We click outside, Then we sl this part and we paint it in this color. Here we are. This is our stone. We have more to add to it to make it look realistic. We slick the ellipse tool, we draw the circle, we paint it in black. And we lower its layer all the way down here, below all the layers of the stone. To put the circle below the stone, we adjust it slightly like this and we decrease its opacity. We pull the shadow slightly to the right. Perfect. Here we are. We have added a shadow to the stone. We close this layer, we show the drawing back. Now we zoom in here, we add a new layer and we start drawing the second stone we painted in this color. Now we add some details to the stone. We lock the layer of the first stone, we use the pen tool to draw this line over the stone. We activate the stroke, we paint it in black. We slick the stone in the stroke, we slick the shape builder tool, we hold Alt, and we delete this part outside the stone. Then we slick this part of the stone and we paint this part in this color. We add another line in here. Again, we select the stroke, we paint it in black. I keep reslecting the stroke so that you can see the whole process over and over. We slick the shape builder tool, we slick this part, and then we paint it in this color. Now we hide the drawing. Here we are. This is our segment stone. Now we will add a shadow to it. We use the ellipse tool to draw a circle in here. We paint it in black. We pull the shadow layer all the way down here. I will unlock this layer so I can see the opacity on this shadow, 66% I say the upacity of the shadow of the second stone to 66% as well. We have one more stone to add. We will not throw it, We will only duplicate this stone here. We select it, we drag its layer down to the plus icon to duplicate it. We drag this stone here, We write to click on it, and we select Group. We go to Object transform, and we select Reflect. We select Vertical. We click okay. And as you can see, it's reversed. Now we hold Shift plus old and we decrease its size. Then we put it right here. Perfect. This is the background of our design. It's completed now. In the next video, we will start creating the car. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video. 115. Design The Car: Hello and welcome to this video. We keep working on our design. We start by locking all the layers, then we select the drawing layer and we deleted because we have completed the designs background, so we don't need the drawing anymore. In this video, we will start creating the car. We go to the resources folder and we add the car drawing. Here it is, We put it right here. Now we lock the car drawing layer, go down here, and we add a new layer below the car drawing layer. We zoom in on the card drawing, we select the pin tool, and we start drawing the car. All we have to do is to follow the drawing. I will paint the stroke in white so that you can see it. We keep going like this. Now we switch to the fill here. This is the parts we drew. We have here the colors that we will paint the car width. We paint this part in this color. Now we will draw this part here. Like I said, all we have to do is to follow the drawing. Now we close the shape out and we paint this part in this gradient color. We just, the color is angle like this. We can set the color from here. That's better. Now we start going. The hood we paint is in the same gradients color and we just the color like this, perfect. Now we drove the fronts of the car. The paint is in discolor. We zoom in a little bit and we adjust the color. Like this. We are adjusting the colors to get the best look. Now we will drow the bumper Before we start to drawing, we always click outside to unlink the parts we are drawing from the former one. Here we are, we paint the bumper in any color. Now, now we will split the bumper so we select the line segment to and we draw a line in here. We slack the pumper, we slack the shape Elder tool, we hold old. And we delete this part of the line outside the shape from here as well. And then we select this part of the pumper without holding old to separate it from the other part. Perfect. We we the bottom part of the pumper and we paint it in this color. We adjust the color like this. We selected the top part and we painted in this color. We in, and we throw this part here. We paint it in this color. Now we duplicate this part and we put it right here. We'll hide the car drawing so that we can see what we have done. Perfect. This is the car body. In the next video, we will add the rest of the car and some details to make it look more realistic. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video. 116. Design The Car Glass: Hello and welcome to this video. We continue working on our design. We add a new layer, we lock the formal layer, and we start creating the car's headlights. We add a circle in here. We paint it in black. We add a stroke to it, and we paint the stroke in the color. Now we slick the circle, then we go to edit, copy, then edit, Paste in front. To duplicate the circle, we paint the new circle ingradient color. We slk radial gradient. We slk this color. It does not matter which color we select now. We will change it later. Now we adjust the color like this. Next, we adjust the circle like this. We hide the drawing to be able to set it perfectly. We change the color of the circle stroke. We decrease the stroke size. Then we use the pen tool to draw this shape in here. This would be the light reflection effect. We remove the stroke and we paint the shape in this color. We duplicate the circle's layer and we put it right here. Bring the drawing back to put it in the right place right here. Now we select the rectangle tool. We draw rectangle here. We select the direct selection tool. We hold shift and we slk the top and bottom right dots, then we put them here. Now we select the top and bottom left dots, and we adjust the rectangle like this. Next, we adjust the edges of the rectangle like this to be rounded and to fit with the drawing. Now we hide the drawing. We add a stroke to this rectangle. We set the size of the stroke to one point. Now we add a rectangle in here like this. We remove its stroke, we paint it in black. Now we hold old and we drag it here to duplicate it. Then we click command plus D multiple times to duplicate it like this. Now we select these shapes here and we pull them up to fit with the rectangle. Same thing here. Perfect. We'll bring the drawing back. Now we select the pen tool and we draw a line in here. We click Enter. We activate the stroke and we increase its size to two points. We, we adjust the edges of the line like this from here as well. Perfect. We duplicate the line. We put it down here, and we decrease its size to one point. We zoom in, we put it right here. We set the edges of the line. Perfect. This is the car so far. We zoom in here. As you can see, the lines are a bit long in here. We select the first line, we go to object path, and we select Outline Stroke to transform this stroke into a shape. And now we use the direct selection tool to adjust the line like this. We will do the same to the second line. We select it, we go to object path, and we select outline stroke. Then we adjust it like this to make sure that the line stays straight. We hold shift and we drag the dots. Now we start drawing the inside of the car. We add a new layer, then we use the pentool to draw this shape in here. Now we click outside and we add another shape in here, then another in here. We add another shape in here to make this look like one shape perfect. Now we lower this shaped layer and we put it below the car's body layer to appear behind it. We keep selecting the shaped layer and we paint it in this color. So this is the interior parts of the car. Now we will draw the car glass. We add a new layer, and we draw this shape. We add another shape here. We put this shape layer below the car body layer. And we decrease its opacity to look like this. Here we are, the car's interior is completed. That's if this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video to create the car wheels. 117. Design The Car Wheels: Hello and welcome to this video. In this video, we will add the wheels to our car and we will add more details to it. We start by adding a new layer. We show the car drawing. We select the Ellas tool, we hold shift and we draw a circle in here. We paint it in this color for now. And we adjust the circle to fit with the wheel drawing, We select the circle, then we go to edit, copy, then edit, Paste in front. To duplicate the circle, we change the color of the circle to separate the two. Then we put it here like this. Now we paint the circle on the back in black. We just the second circle like this. Then we duplicate it. We go edit, copy, then edit, paste In front, we change the color of the circle to separate it from the others. Then we put it right here like this. Now we paint the middle circle ingredients, radial gradient. Paint this site in black and this site in gray. It just the gradient like this to fits with the circle. We hide the drawing. We painted this part ingredient to make the wheel look like it's credy. We bring the drawing back, we duplicate the circle. We paint it in this color. We adjust it like this. We paint the circle in this color. Now we duplicate the last circle. We adjust it like this. We change its color to separate it from the rest. Then we adjust the circle like this. Now we want to paint this circle here, ingradients. We already have the gradient color we want in here. Here it is. We just select it using the eye dropper tool. Then we adjust the gradient like this, using the gradient tool. We adjust the gradient to give the impression that we have a shadow on the upper part and the light is shining on the lower part. This part here is reflecting the sunlight. Now we paint the less circle in this color. Then we duplicate it. We change the color of the circle to separate it from the rest. Then we hold shift plus old, and we decrease the size of the circle like this. Now we paint it in this color. Then we duplicate the circle again. We hold shift plus old, and we decrease its size. Then we change its color. We put it right here. Finally we paint it in this gradient color. We set the gradient angle and position like this, perfect. We hide the drawing, and here we are. This is our wheel. We can add a stroke to each circle. We set the stroke size 2.25, We zoom out. Here we are. As you can see, the wheel look like it's outside the car. To fix that, all we have to do is lower the wheel layer down here. We put it below the car layer. Here we are. The wheel is done and in place. Now, instead of creating the next wheel from scratch, all we have to do is to duplicate this wheel. Then we put it right there. We duplicate the wheel layer. We put the wheel here. We hold shift and we decrease its size like this. Then we put it right here. Perfect. We duplicate the wheel again. We put it here. Now, since this wheel here is facing the inside of the car, it means that it will be covered with the shadow. We want to make these colors darker to give the impression of the shadow. We select each color and we make it darker like this. These wheels look bright because of the sunlight, while the other is dark because of the shadow. Here we are, the wheels are done. Now we need to add the side mirror and the door handles. We bring the drawing back. We zoom in here we add a new layer. We select the rounded rectangle tool. If you don't have it, select the rectangle tool. We add a rectangle here. We change its color, just its edges to be rounded like this. We add another rectangle here without a stroke, and its edges to be rounded like this. We paint this rectangle in black, and we paint this one in this color. Then we adjust the gradients angle and position like this. We remove the rectangle stroke and we decrease its opacity. Let's decrease the size of this rectangle slightly perfect. Now we hold shift, we slack both rectangles. We hold old, and we drag them here to duplicate them, and we put them right here. We decrease the size of this door handle because things that are far from the camera usually look smaller. Here we are, the door handles are done. Now we will add the side mirror, we show the drawing back. We will draw the doors as well. So we add a new layer below the door handles layers. And we use the pen tool to draw the doors. We hide the drawing so that we can see what we have created. We select the stroke and we decrease its size to 0.25 We decrease the opacity of the stroke. We set its opacity to 50% We still have to add a line here using the pen tool. We set its size to 0.25 as well. We decrease its opacity to 50% as well. Here we are. The doors are done. Now we move to the side mirrors. We bring the drawing back. We add a rectangle here. We paint it in this color, just its edges to be rounded. We hide the drawing. We paint its stroke in black. And we set the stroke size to 0.25 We add a rectangle here. We set its edges to be rounded as well. We put it here, then we remove its stroke. Next, we use the pen tool to draw this line here. We activate the stroke, we paint it in this color. We zoom in, we select the stroke. Then we go to object path, and we select outline stroke. Then we use the direct selection tool to adjust it like this. We adjust it from this side as well. Here we are. We zoom out. Here we are. Now we will add the number plate. We add a rectangle here. We paint it in white. And we can type whatever we want in here. For example, I will type a 534. Like I said, this is just an example. You can type whatever you want in here. We just the size of the text fit here. We add some space in here, and here we are. This is our design. It's fully completed. This is the final look of our design. I have explained to you how to create this design. Now you can use what you have learned here to create your own design. Just remember what I have said. The details are very important and they are what separates a professional design from a bad one. I hope that you have liked this design. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next video.
