1
00:00:06,707 --> 00:00:11,957
but thank you so much for being here today for checking out our new workshop.

2
00:00:11,957 --> 00:00:20,627
This is a brand new one that we're running today. Digital drawing to intermediate illustrator Dr Chelsey Hooper.

3
00:00:20,627 --> 00:00:24,257
I'm an instructional technology specialist in the here in the library,

4
00:00:24,257 --> 00:00:33,167
in the Innovation and Research Commons, and I've put the link to today's presentation in the chat.

5
00:00:33,167 --> 00:00:38,447
But you go to this short, I'll be link here and that will get you to this page,

6
00:00:38,447 --> 00:00:43,457
which is a web page that has lots of helpful links for us to work from today.

7
00:00:43,457 --> 00:00:53,777
It also kind of has our outline of our lesson plan on it has fantastic resources to continue learning with Adobe Illustrator.

8
00:00:53,777 --> 00:01:00,197
So this particular workshop is a follow up to the first Adobe Illustrator workshop that we do.

9
00:01:00,197 --> 00:01:06,557
So if you're watching a recording of this or you haven't seen the first one yet, it's OK.

10
00:01:06,557 --> 00:01:09,317
Just maybe go back and watch that one first illustrator,

11
00:01:09,317 --> 00:01:15,767
one bigot for beginners because they really tied together in the first one gives you some good foundations to work from.

12
00:01:15,767 --> 00:01:26,147
And then we continue learning about illustrator in illustrator to intermediate for today, if you would like to follow along.

13
00:01:26,147 --> 00:01:32,807
You are welcome to download the practice files. I know sometimes if you're attending online,

14
00:01:32,807 --> 00:01:38,477
that can be hard to do because you're trying to watch the presentation and you're trying to follow along in the software.

15
00:01:38,477 --> 00:01:41,567
And if you have a small laptop screen that can be difficult,

16
00:01:41,567 --> 00:01:49,307
but you can still download the practice files and then try doing these activities after the workshop today.

17
00:01:49,307 --> 00:01:54,107
That's a great way to kind of try things out in practice.

18
00:01:54,107 --> 00:01:58,517
And then that way, you'll also get a recording tomorrow via email.

19
00:01:58,517 --> 00:02:04,387
You'll get our recording from today's workshop and then that way you could go back and watch the recording pause.

20
00:02:04,387 --> 00:02:10,817
It tried the practice files along with the recording, and that's sometimes a little bit easier,

21
00:02:10,817 --> 00:02:14,297
but sometimes it helps to see somebody present it first and then you try it.

22
00:02:14,297 --> 00:02:20,747
So whatever works for you and your in your learning style is great, but the practice files are here.

23
00:02:20,747 --> 00:02:28,247
If you click the download practice files and then we will be working mainly with adding effects.

24
00:02:28,247 --> 00:02:38,387
We will be using creating layers and we'll be using editing paths and understanding pads.

25
00:02:38,387 --> 00:02:42,197
So any of the ones that say I just modified them three days ago.

26
00:02:42,197 --> 00:02:47,327
And if you're not sure, it's OK to download the entire folder here, if you want to,

27
00:02:47,327 --> 00:02:51,257
and then that'll put a zip file during your computer in your downloads area,

28
00:02:51,257 --> 00:02:59,777
and then you can just double click that zip folder and open it up, and then you can open those particular files that you need in Illustrator.

29
00:02:59,777 --> 00:03:08,537
So that's where you can just download them. These practice files come from the Adobe tutorials, so that's another way you can continue learning.

30
00:03:08,537 --> 00:03:14,657
We liked those Adobe tutorials, so much so we base are beginning intermediate workshops on them.

31
00:03:14,657 --> 00:03:20,867
And then that way you can go to the Adobe tutorials and you'll be familiar and you can continue learning and so on.

32
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:25,157
So but it really helps sometimes to attend a workshop like this.

33
00:03:25,157 --> 00:03:29,817
So you kind of get a good explanation of the concepts.

34
00:03:29,817 --> 00:03:34,607
That's really what we focus on in the beginning in the intermediate workshops is understanding

35
00:03:34,607 --> 00:03:40,337
the different concepts that are associated with each of the different Adobe applications.

36
00:03:40,337 --> 00:03:44,897
And then once you have those concepts down, you have sort of a better idea of what to use.

37
00:03:44,897 --> 00:03:50,987
You know, which application to use for what type of thing you want to create, then the rest of the technical pieces come.

38
00:03:50,987 --> 00:03:56,357
But if you if you don't know what a vector image is and you're trying to learn and this is a

39
00:03:56,357 --> 00:04:01,547
good place because you're trying to get started with the vocabulary and the different tools,

40
00:04:01,547 --> 00:04:11,117
you know, some different tools that you can use to get started in that. So yeah, so today's workshop is going to continue from Illustrator one.

41
00:04:11,117 --> 00:04:18,617
We're going to talk about logos, icons, posters. I'm going to give you some resources you can use to even use illustrated started to create charts.

42
00:04:18,617 --> 00:04:26,027
It even has a built in chart feature kind of like Excel does, but you can make it even more pretty in Illustrator.

43
00:04:26,027 --> 00:04:31,097
So once you have these sort of drawing skills, some basic drawing skills down,

44
00:04:31,097 --> 00:04:34,547
then you can do a whole lot with it, depending on whatever you need to do.

45
00:04:34,547 --> 00:04:46,367
You can make really nice infographics with it. Posters, especially so we're focusing on illustrators today because it helps you create vector images,

46
00:04:46,367 --> 00:04:50,627
so vector images are mathematically created by the computer.

47
00:04:50,627 --> 00:04:58,147
And that's an important difference from something like a photograph, which is a captured by a lens because the.

48
00:04:58,147 --> 00:05:06,097
Pixels worked entirely differently, so with the vector image, you have pixels that it's it's native digital,

49
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:12,967
it's computerized, and that means you can make it as big or as small as you want and you're not going to mess up your image.

50
00:05:12,967 --> 00:05:20,977
It's not going to Pixel eight, whereas a photograph comes in at a certain resolution, depending on the camera you took it with,

51
00:05:20,977 --> 00:05:29,317
and that if you make that picture like too big of an it's not a good resolution, then that can really warp it with with vector art.

52
00:05:29,317 --> 00:05:39,667
You don't have that problem. It's all digital. So you see it often used in graphic arts that have to do with posters, advertisements, infographics,

53
00:05:39,667 --> 00:05:45,487
things where you don't have necessarily that many raster images, which are photographic images.

54
00:05:45,487 --> 00:05:50,887
Although you can put photographic images in Illustrator, you can combine and do that as well.

55
00:05:50,887 --> 00:05:57,967
So you have a lot of options with Illustrator, but today is going to be a little messy drawing type, fund type stuff.

56
00:05:57,967 --> 00:05:59,647
So it takes getting in there.

57
00:05:59,647 --> 00:06:06,487
And just like if you were trying to draw on paper or pencil, then with pencil, then you know, you have to learn some things.

58
00:06:06,487 --> 00:06:13,117
And so same thing with digital drawing, so. And it says, right here, here's how you can get the recording if you need that as well.

59
00:06:13,117 --> 00:06:17,137
And of course, you have an Adobe ID, you have your Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.

60
00:06:17,137 --> 00:06:20,497
You know how to get to Adobe Illustrator.

61
00:06:20,497 --> 00:06:30,727
There's also mobile apps that can help you with vector images to Adobe Capture that we talked about in the first Adobe Illustrator Workshop will

62
00:06:30,727 --> 00:06:38,917
even capture vector images using your smartphone so you can turn a photographic image that you took with your smartphone into a vector image.

63
00:06:38,917 --> 00:06:42,847
And that's important because you can then bring it into Illustrator.

64
00:06:42,847 --> 00:06:48,817
You can change the colors of it, you can manipulate it, and it's all digital drawing that you're manipulating.

65
00:06:48,817 --> 00:06:54,007
It's not a photographic image that you're going to distort. So that's really cool.

66
00:06:54,007 --> 00:07:01,147
There's also illustrator for the iPad now. This particular workshop is just going to focus on Illustrator for the desktop.

67
00:07:01,147 --> 00:07:08,167
But just so you know, there's other options out there and also to help you with today's workshop and also

68
00:07:08,167 --> 00:07:13,447
just to help you with using Illustrator in general is our sort of cheat sheet,

69
00:07:13,447 --> 00:07:20,437
is what we call it, where its key features and tools. This is sort of like a very quick memory aid guide.

70
00:07:20,437 --> 00:07:25,237
This'll help just give you sort of some ideas about, Oh yeah, I have to you.

71
00:07:25,237 --> 00:07:31,087
I use that shortcut for this thing. You know, Command Z or Control Z is undo that, that kind of thing.

72
00:07:31,087 --> 00:07:33,517
Some reminders about how to use shapes.

73
00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:42,337
Last time we talked about combining shapes using the Shape Builder tool and doing some basic drawing shapes were definitely a focus.

74
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:47,707
You should always that shapes really help you create final images, so they're really important.

75
00:07:47,707 --> 00:07:53,557
Today, we're going to focus a little bit more on lines and drawing and the idea of pads, so we'll talk about that.

76
00:07:53,557 --> 00:08:01,867
We're also talk about art boards today. Last Adobe Illustrator Workshop, we did do a tracing image tracing.

77
00:08:01,867 --> 00:08:07,087
So just a reminder about that that if you're having trouble drawing from scratch,

78
00:08:07,087 --> 00:08:13,117
something that you can do is bring in a raster image and then use that tracing

79
00:08:13,117 --> 00:08:18,157
option and it will illustrator will find the lines in the image for you.

80
00:08:18,157 --> 00:08:22,267
Now, the picture has to be pretty clear and show good lines, so you have to keep that in mind,

81
00:08:22,267 --> 00:08:25,417
but that can be a way that you can jumpstart your illustrator.

82
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:33,337
Drawing is by doing a trace or by using Adobe Capture, so you can use that to kind of fast forward a little bit.

83
00:08:33,337 --> 00:08:43,297
Text we talked about text last time, but we're going to talk about some other things you can do with text that are sort of more design oriented color.

84
00:08:43,297 --> 00:08:48,517
We talk about color last time. Today we're going to talk about paths and curves quite a bit and layers.

85
00:08:48,517 --> 00:08:51,577
We're also going to try some effects that we're going to kind of go through all of this.

86
00:08:51,577 --> 00:08:56,317
But this is like a little cheat sheet for you that you're welcome to still use.

87
00:08:56,317 --> 00:09:01,837
It's digital here. You can print it out, whatever. And again, the OneDrive folder is here.

88
00:09:01,837 --> 00:09:07,087
And then here's just a little handy shortcut keys list.

89
00:09:07,087 --> 00:09:15,037
So if you're interested in learning the shortcuts, that's that's always great to do when you're learning any new computer program.

90
00:09:15,037 --> 00:09:24,187
So today we're going to be using some practice files to help us learn about Adobe Illustrator and go a little bit more advanced with that.

91
00:09:24,187 --> 00:09:27,997
So we will go ahead and jump in and get started with that.

92
00:09:27,997 --> 00:09:35,737
And again, I'm going to put the link to today's presentation and here for today.

93
00:09:35,737 --> 00:09:40,717
So everybody has that. And let's go ahead and jump into Illustrator.

94
00:09:40,717 --> 00:09:44,557
So as we go to the workshop today for your questions.

95
00:09:44,557 --> 00:09:50,527
Typekit in the chat so I can like see it pop up and then I'm happy to answer questions and so on.

96
00:09:50,527 --> 00:09:57,807
All right. So in Illustrator, I've already got Illustrator open and I haven't opened anything yet, so.

97
00:09:57,807 --> 00:10:04,107
What we're going to do is we're going to open up a new file, and the file we want to openly resize is just a little bit better,

98
00:10:04,107 --> 00:10:10,017
so we can see this better is we want to open the file called understanding pads.

99
00:10:10,017 --> 00:10:14,487
So we're going to go ahead and open understanding pads file.

100
00:10:14,487 --> 00:10:25,107
And we have it saved on our desktop going into this folder where you downloaded the practice files to, that's where you're going to go.

101
00:10:25,107 --> 00:10:32,067
And I saved mine to Illustrator too. And we're going to go to the one called understanding pads, and we're going to open up this one.

102
00:10:32,067 --> 00:10:38,067
This is just the illustrator file that already has some content, and so we can kind of work with it quickly.

103
00:10:38,067 --> 00:10:43,287
The beginning Illustrator workshop reviewed how to create a new document and that sort of thing,

104
00:10:43,287 --> 00:10:48,327
but we're going to talk a little bit about that today because we also have art boards to talk about.

105
00:10:48,327 --> 00:10:53,907
So let's make our screen a bit bigger so we can maximize our space here.

106
00:10:53,907 --> 00:11:03,747
So there we go. Great. So in this particular illustrator file, we have one art board and it's got some icons on it.

107
00:11:03,747 --> 00:11:06,387
And we learned how to do some drawing last time.

108
00:11:06,387 --> 00:11:11,917
But we can kind of practice these things by making a new art board and we try to emulate some of these things.

109
00:11:11,917 --> 00:11:14,427
So first, let's talk about art words in general.

110
00:11:14,427 --> 00:11:21,687
So this particular file currently only has one art board tells you right here when you are just opening up a file,

111
00:11:21,687 --> 00:11:26,007
you'll see the properties panel over here and your art board information.

112
00:11:26,007 --> 00:11:31,347
So art boards are like pages in, say, word or InDesign.

113
00:11:31,347 --> 00:11:40,527
In order for you to be able to maybe save these images or export them to use in a presentation or in a printing or something like that,

114
00:11:40,527 --> 00:11:47,217
they have to exist on the art board. And so and you can make art boards custom sizes.

115
00:11:47,217 --> 00:11:54,267
You can make these custom sizes or you can do preset sizes so you can get to the properties panel of the art board.

116
00:11:54,267 --> 00:12:03,837
A couple of ways it might be here already. If you don't see the properties panel on the right hand side or any panel that you want to use,

117
00:12:03,837 --> 00:12:10,557
you can force it to show up by going to a window and then clicking the panel that you want to appear.

118
00:12:10,557 --> 00:12:13,407
This has a checkmark next to it. That means it's present.

119
00:12:13,407 --> 00:12:17,937
So if it's present and you just if it's check checkmark and you don't see it, it might be in a tab here.

120
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:23,157
OK, so here we've got libraries and properties open as different tabs right now.

121
00:12:23,157 --> 00:12:27,457
OK. We can start working over here in this panel.

122
00:12:27,457 --> 00:12:31,827
We can also go to the art board tool, which is down here.

123
00:12:31,827 --> 00:12:39,777
On the left hand side kind of looks like a little piece of paper. Also, typically and it might be turned off for this one.

124
00:12:39,777 --> 00:12:45,357
You can go to your tools, you can go to yours or your preferences.

125
00:12:45,357 --> 00:12:52,437
It's not turned on this computer, but you can turn on the preferences that will tell show you a little mini video of each.

126
00:12:52,437 --> 00:12:59,397
It's called rich text tools or something like that or rich help tools, and it'll show you a little mini video of what that tool does.

127
00:12:59,397 --> 00:13:05,427
You can also just mouse over it and at least tell you what the name is. So we're going to be working on the artwork tool.

128
00:13:05,427 --> 00:13:09,447
Also, first of all, before I jump in too far the second.

129
00:13:09,447 --> 00:13:20,727
The next thing to check if you're following along and you want to follow along kind of exactly is to see what particular workspace you are in.

130
00:13:20,727 --> 00:13:25,887
And it's going to be up here on this little picture thing on the upper right hand side.

131
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:30,867
So right now we are in Essential's classic either essentials or essentials.

132
00:13:30,867 --> 00:13:39,057
Classic will be fine. I'm actually going to switch to essentials and see, yeah, that gives us a little bit better menu to work from for today.

133
00:13:39,057 --> 00:13:47,487
So I'm going to use essentials. OK. That's a good one for people yet who are getting started, you know, with Illustrator.

134
00:13:47,487 --> 00:13:50,817
And if you're interested in creating other specific things,

135
00:13:50,817 --> 00:13:56,967
what these workspaces do is they just conveniently pull up tools that have to do with that topic for you.

136
00:13:56,967 --> 00:14:04,167
So it's you don't have to go and edit all your tools all the time if you're working on tracing or something like that, a lot of tracing.

137
00:14:04,167 --> 00:14:08,247
So anyway, essentials is where we want to is where we want to be today.

138
00:14:08,247 --> 00:14:11,817
So we were talking about art boards. So we have our art boards here.

139
00:14:11,817 --> 00:14:16,377
We just have this is our first art board. And if we click on it, we we see that over here.

140
00:14:16,377 --> 00:14:22,317
On the right hand side is our information about the artwork. This tells us how big the our board is.

141
00:14:22,317 --> 00:14:25,827
This is the name of the art board. You can give artwork our board's name,

142
00:14:25,827 --> 00:14:33,597
so I could call this one icons one or something like that and then make another a board and call that one icons.

143
00:14:33,597 --> 00:14:38,637
You can create a new art board right here in the panel from here by clicking the plus sign.

144
00:14:38,637 --> 00:14:45,687
You can also click over here on the art board tool and then you can click and drag that as well.

145
00:14:45,687 --> 00:14:49,677
So you have a couple of different, lots of different options for that.

146
00:14:49,677 --> 00:14:54,477
So what we can do is we can click and drag and create a new hour board if we want.

147
00:14:54,477 --> 00:15:02,117
What this is handy for is if we want. Pacific sizes that we can go up here and adjust these exact specific sizes,

148
00:15:02,117 --> 00:15:10,217
so if we wanted this one to be like exactly something like a certain width or something like that, then we could, then we could do that.

149
00:15:10,217 --> 00:15:17,537
OK? What this is also handy for is a lot of people will design things of different sizes in the same

150
00:15:17,537 --> 00:15:22,547
illustrator file so you can have your set of icons than you might have your business cards.

151
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:30,137
You might have a letter size format and then you can either you can print or export each of these art boards separately.

152
00:15:30,137 --> 00:15:38,837
You can also print. You can also export each of the objects separately if you want to as well, so you can have all these different icons.

153
00:15:38,837 --> 00:15:44,207
You also have art board options here. So if we click one of those, we have some board options.

154
00:15:44,207 --> 00:15:48,317
We can see some more information about that. It tells us we have three art boards now.

155
00:15:48,317 --> 00:15:53,927
It tells us the name. What size is it? That's another thing you can do to change your art board.

156
00:15:53,927 --> 00:15:58,737
You can click on your our board and then change the size of it. Let's do that to our new one that we created.

157
00:15:58,737 --> 00:16:04,127
So let's go to art board options and then also you can get to it here as well.

158
00:16:04,127 --> 00:16:12,497
So pre-set means a certain preset size. So if we wanted this one to be letter size, that's going to be too big for what we're doing today.

159
00:16:12,497 --> 00:16:19,937
So we don't want to do that. So we're going to control we're going to get out of here first and then we're going to control Z to undo.

160
00:16:19,937 --> 00:16:25,457
But you can do custom sizes based on print or web, whatever you're designing for.

161
00:16:25,457 --> 00:16:29,657
So that's something that's really cool about art boards that you can do.

162
00:16:29,657 --> 00:16:37,787
You can also copy art boards you can do, you can duplicate them and so on, and then break and then change what's in there.

163
00:16:37,787 --> 00:16:47,687
All kinds of stuff. So next, and we can remember that we can put the spacebar down and that gives us the hand tool and we can kind of move.

164
00:16:47,687 --> 00:16:52,757
Our boards are our scene around. And that's very helpful.

165
00:16:52,757 --> 00:16:57,377
You can also control plus for zooming and control, minus for zooming out.

166
00:16:57,377 --> 00:17:03,347
So those are helpful kind of tips. OK, so let's maybe zoom in just a little bit.

167
00:17:03,347 --> 00:17:07,457
We don't really need this one down here, so let's delete that art board.

168
00:17:07,457 --> 00:17:13,877
You can do that as well. And then let's use the hand tool kind of pan over just a little bit.

169
00:17:13,877 --> 00:17:22,817
So now we have our scene here. You can also do things like view and then you can tell it to fit fit in in the

170
00:17:22,817 --> 00:17:26,807
particular fit all our board and fit our board and window or fit all in a window.

171
00:17:26,807 --> 00:17:32,357
And it kind of goes back to your sort of desktop here so that you can work.

172
00:17:32,357 --> 00:17:38,147
All right. So that's sort of the basics about different art boards. You can again, you can print art boards separately.

173
00:17:38,147 --> 00:17:43,787
They're like pages, OK? You can also export PDFs of those to separate art boards.

174
00:17:43,787 --> 00:17:50,027
So a lot of people will use them to keep all of their stuff together in one illustrator file,

175
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:56,987
but different sizes of things that they need for different types of products that they're creating or whatever.

176
00:17:56,987 --> 00:18:05,357
Next, let's hop into. Let's look at our little lesson plan here, and let's hop in to creating with some drawing tools.

177
00:18:05,357 --> 00:18:10,247
So let's go to talk about paths, curves, anchor points,

178
00:18:10,247 --> 00:18:18,767
all this fun stuff so you can draw in Adobe Illustrator with lots of different tools over here, so we're going to try a few of them out today.

179
00:18:18,767 --> 00:18:24,137
OK, so we have some, of course. First, we have the pen tool and then notice.

180
00:18:24,137 --> 00:18:29,657
Remember that when we have a little white flag underneath that tool, that means there's more tools available.

181
00:18:29,657 --> 00:18:35,837
You have to click and hold, so click and hold the tool. You'll see there's another tool underneath there.

182
00:18:35,837 --> 00:18:42,647
And then also the curvature tool will be checking that out today and then we know about the shapes.

183
00:18:42,647 --> 00:18:49,517
We also have paint brushes we can use to paint. This really like stylized lines is a good way to think about it.

184
00:18:49,517 --> 00:19:00,167
They're all still paths. These are just have more style. And we're also going to be checking out the eraser tool ways to remove parts of it.

185
00:19:00,167 --> 00:19:07,577
You also have the scissors tool. That's very handy. And last time we talked about the shape or tool as well.

186
00:19:07,577 --> 00:19:15,557
So let's go back and talk about also you can instead of doing lines, another option is you can use the line tool.

187
00:19:15,557 --> 00:19:20,837
So that's another another option for a pass. So if you know you need to create straight lines.

188
00:19:20,837 --> 00:19:28,487
That's an option. If you're trying to do more free form drawing, you don't want those line tool you want probably either a pen tool.

189
00:19:28,487 --> 00:19:32,687
There's also a pencil tool as well. OK.

190
00:19:32,687 --> 00:19:38,987
So they all kind of do a little bit different things. So let's go back to say the pen tool, for example.

191
00:19:38,987 --> 00:19:47,747
So with the pen tool and then we can look over here and see what our fill and stroke are, and let's change our fell to a different color just for fun.

192
00:19:47,747 --> 00:19:53,267
So you can kind of see what these things do and will increase the stroke a bit so you can kind of see that better.

193
00:19:53,267 --> 00:19:58,007
So with the pen tool, you can click and drag.

194
00:19:58,007 --> 00:20:05,777
And as you can see, you can make sort of straight lines from point to point, but notice that there's a fill.

195
00:20:05,777 --> 00:20:15,077
OK? So depending on what you're trying to do. And then you can match it back up, and now it's a solid shape that you created yourself.

196
00:20:15,077 --> 00:20:21,617
OK, so that's an option for drawing essentially you and you.

197
00:20:21,617 --> 00:20:26,927
You can also double click and it will make a completely straight line.

198
00:20:26,927 --> 00:20:31,937
OK. So you can click and then you can double click to make a straight line.

199
00:20:31,937 --> 00:20:38,987
OK, so it takes some practice. So definitely just kind of practice different things with the pen tool and kind of get the hang of it.

200
00:20:38,987 --> 00:20:44,687
OK. Next, we can try the curvature tool now.

201
00:20:44,687 --> 00:20:50,207
The curvature tool works really good when you need some sort of precise curve like that.

202
00:20:50,207 --> 00:20:54,317
You can combine it with the line tool or you can use the pen tool,

203
00:20:54,317 --> 00:21:00,167
as you saw I just did to create a straight line that was handy too, so we can do either one.

204
00:21:00,167 --> 00:21:03,737
Let's go get a line, though, so you can kind of see.

205
00:21:03,737 --> 00:21:12,197
So if I'm trying to recreate maybe the second over here, OK, I don't need any fill so much zero fill.

206
00:21:12,197 --> 00:21:16,127
Oops, I forgot to here will undo that.

207
00:21:16,127 --> 00:21:24,437
So what we'll do first is will choose will go to the stroke color because we want it to be that sort of gray so it can match that.

208
00:21:24,437 --> 00:21:28,157
But I forgot to unseal like that. So here we go.

209
00:21:28,157 --> 00:21:33,857
Now let's go ahead and and do our line first and then we'll do the setting, shall we?

210
00:21:33,857 --> 00:21:35,537
So we can click and drag a line.

211
00:21:35,537 --> 00:21:42,257
You can also hold down the shift key, and that makes sure that it's exactly straight, so we might want a straight line for this.

212
00:21:42,257 --> 00:21:47,747
Now let's go and change the properties of it. So let's give this one a gray color just like that one.

213
00:21:47,747 --> 00:21:56,517
OK. And notice you can kind of see here. OK, let me see if I can.

214
00:21:56,517 --> 00:22:05,367
Zoom in a bit, so we can see. So this is a line and essentially a line has a beginning and an end.

215
00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:10,227
And this is a live shape so I can still click and drag and move it, OK?

216
00:22:10,227 --> 00:22:14,907
If I if I use the selection tool, then I can move it around.

217
00:22:14,907 --> 00:22:19,077
OK. But I don't have any curve yet. I can't get it to curve.

218
00:22:19,077 --> 00:22:23,277
So in order to make a line curve energy use the curvature tool.

219
00:22:23,277 --> 00:22:28,647
So a lot of people use these in conjunction with each other, so you can go to the curvature tool.

220
00:22:28,647 --> 00:22:37,437
And then when you click the curvature tool, it creates basically a new anchor point is what they call it,

221
00:22:37,437 --> 00:22:43,137
and now is basically kind of like a path that you can manipulate.

222
00:22:43,137 --> 00:22:49,587
So now I can click and drag and see if I sort of go over to one side or the other.

223
00:22:49,587 --> 00:22:57,057
It's based upon that anchor point. So I would want that anchor point to be pretty, pretty much in the middle.

224
00:22:57,057 --> 00:23:08,127
OK. And now we have a curve, so you can create that with the curvature tool if you want as well or with the pen tool.

225
00:23:08,127 --> 00:23:17,267
Same kind of thing. Right? And then what you have to do is then you have to use the curvature tool again so you can do it.

226
00:23:17,267 --> 00:23:22,807
Either way, you can do it with the pencil or you can do it with.

227
00:23:22,807 --> 00:23:30,217
The line tool, so paths are basically made up of beginning and end points.

228
00:23:30,217 --> 00:23:37,567
They are made up of anchor points as well. If you want to make them curve, OK, and you can manipulate those anchor points.

229
00:23:37,567 --> 00:23:47,857
Another thing you can do to really kind of go crazy with your drawing is you can add anchor points to your line.

230
00:23:47,857 --> 00:23:51,157
Now that we've added that anchor point to that line,

231
00:23:51,157 --> 00:24:00,067
we can move this handle and then that affects our shape around that particular little anchor point that we just added.

232
00:24:00,067 --> 00:24:07,567
And, you know, the one next to it. So we have, you know, you have some options for how you manipulate your drawings.

233
00:24:07,567 --> 00:24:14,347
OK. And then of course, the way that we did these would be just to do circles, right?

234
00:24:14,347 --> 00:24:21,007
So we would go back to using a shape. So we would go to our shape tool, which is aligned right now.

235
00:24:21,007 --> 00:24:26,197
Remember for ellipses, if we hold down the shift key while we click and drag,

236
00:24:26,197 --> 00:24:33,847
it makes it perfectly circle like a perfect circle or a perfect square or whatever perfect triangle and so on.

237
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:39,417
OK. So we can just click and drag that.

238
00:24:39,417 --> 00:24:43,127
You know, and we can recreate those circles if we would like to.

239
00:24:43,127 --> 00:24:46,847
Once you have created a shape, you can also duplicate it very quickly.

240
00:24:46,847 --> 00:24:54,057
You can hold the altar option key and then click and drag might be control on a PC.

241
00:24:54,057 --> 00:24:59,007
Now might be shift control.

242
00:24:59,007 --> 00:25:05,627
Hmm. OK, so on a PC, it's a little different. I'm not sure what it is, but on a Mac, it's all an option and you just click and drag.

243
00:25:05,627 --> 00:25:13,727
So that's that's really handy. OK? Also, two paths you can change how the ending of them looks.

244
00:25:13,727 --> 00:25:20,027
Notice how these have rounded corners. So the change that we would alter the strokes, so we were going to stroke.

245
00:25:20,027 --> 00:25:23,897
And then we can change how the corners look so we can give them a bevel.

246
00:25:23,897 --> 00:25:29,847
We can give them a roundness there. You know, we can make arrows.

247
00:25:29,847 --> 00:25:38,867
This is very handy for if you're trying to do some sort of map or directional type information for your illustrator file.

248
00:25:38,867 --> 00:25:47,147
You can have arrows go on both ends or not. You can change the end, you know, to be one thing and the beginning to be another.

249
00:25:47,147 --> 00:25:52,907
You can do different types of strokes, too. They can be sort of artistic or, you know,

250
00:25:52,907 --> 00:25:59,207
triangle or whatever all kinds of interesting things that you can that you can pick there for for your strokes.

251
00:25:59,207 --> 00:26:07,067
OK. And then also, let's see if we can get that to do it as opposed to let's see.

252
00:26:07,067 --> 00:26:10,817
So I think we need this and I think we need to increase.

253
00:26:10,817 --> 00:26:17,297
Let's see if I can get it to do it as opposed to I may have messed it up because I curved it first.

254
00:26:17,297 --> 00:26:21,977
That may be part of it. Maybe it's the cap.

255
00:26:21,977 --> 00:26:28,187
There we go. So instead of change the cap and we've got that same curved edge as what we were looking for.

256
00:26:28,187 --> 00:26:31,877
OK? All other things that we can do. Oh, OK.

257
00:26:31,877 --> 00:26:36,227
So we did the pencil the curvature tool to keep in mind.

258
00:26:36,227 --> 00:26:41,387
The Pencil does do a fill. You can choose for it to have no fill, so that can be an option.

259
00:26:41,387 --> 00:26:45,977
If you're very quick to click, click click. Click Draw Things on the fly. That's great if you can do that.

260
00:26:45,977 --> 00:26:51,557
Otherwise, putting shapes together works best in using the Shape Builder tool to combine them.

261
00:26:51,557 --> 00:26:57,197
Let's see what else let's talk about. Maybe the Oh, let's talk about cutting and erasing.

262
00:26:57,197 --> 00:27:07,667
Maybe now that we have some paths, that might be an important feature. So two ways we can remove things from our shapes or our lines or our paths.

263
00:27:07,667 --> 00:27:16,427
We could use the eraser tool. OK, so we can do that and we can change the the stroke of the eraser tool and all

264
00:27:16,427 --> 00:27:20,357
these things we can we can do that so we can literally just use it to erase.

265
00:27:20,357 --> 00:27:24,107
So it's really free form, right? You might mess that up.

266
00:27:24,107 --> 00:27:30,947
You might not, you know, it's OK, but that's that's a good way to do drawing is to remove things we are drawing.

267
00:27:30,947 --> 00:27:36,167
You can also, if you want something a bit more needs, is you can use the scissors tool.

268
00:27:36,167 --> 00:27:41,447
And when you click on the scissors tool, you know, now we've cut it essentially.

269
00:27:41,447 --> 00:27:43,667
So now it's two separate pieces.

270
00:27:43,667 --> 00:27:51,077
OK, so you can create a lot of great shapes doing that technique by drawing it and then cutting and then pulling them apart.

271
00:27:51,077 --> 00:27:57,977
So like half circles, for example, easy to do with it, with that particular technique as well.

272
00:27:57,977 --> 00:28:01,527
So yeah, let's see what else we're supposed to talk about with drawing.

273
00:28:01,527 --> 00:28:05,567
So curves anchor points covered. Oh, the pencil tool.

274
00:28:05,567 --> 00:28:12,347
So let's talk about a pencil top. Now, if you if you like especially sort of free drawing and sketching a little bit and then you go back,

275
00:28:12,347 --> 00:28:17,477
maybe and put more lines on top of it, maybe have a rough draft sketch or something like that.

276
00:28:17,477 --> 00:28:23,207
Some people like to use the pencil tool for that. And so let's go find the pencil tool.

277
00:28:23,207 --> 00:28:27,467
In this case, it's under the paint brush tool, and let's choose pencil.

278
00:28:27,467 --> 00:28:38,117
Now, here's a super nice feature the pencil tool. If you double click the pencil tool, you can change how smoothly your pencil stroke will be.

279
00:28:38,117 --> 00:28:42,947
So if you're like me, you need a little bit of help with your drawing to be more smooth.

280
00:28:42,947 --> 00:28:50,447
OK? Or you're using a mouse to instead of like a tablet, then you can increase the smoothness.

281
00:28:50,447 --> 00:28:56,657
Let's do it without smoothness. First, you can see the difference. OK. So it will hit cancel for that.

282
00:28:56,657 --> 00:29:04,727
OK, so if I was going to. You know, I wouldn't use this to draw a circle, but here's just an example, so you can see the difference, OK?

283
00:29:04,727 --> 00:29:10,877
And then now if I can increase the smoothness here, OK?

284
00:29:10,877 --> 00:29:17,147
And you can see how it straightened out a lot of these anchor points and really joined the paths together better.

285
00:29:17,147 --> 00:29:25,517
OK. And of course, another technique you can use is after you get a shape like that is used the direct selection tool,

286
00:29:25,517 --> 00:29:33,707
and then you can choose these different anchor points and you can do some really interesting things with adjusting these anchor points.

287
00:29:33,707 --> 00:29:38,297
OK. Make a little Pacman or something.

288
00:29:38,297 --> 00:29:44,307
OK, so definitely give that a try because you can adjust anything that's an anchor point, you can adjust, right?

289
00:29:44,307 --> 00:29:49,157
And so if you're really trying to refine some sort of drawing and make it work for you,

290
00:29:49,157 --> 00:29:52,397
this isn't how to draw Pacman that would not be the best way to do it.

291
00:29:52,397 --> 00:30:01,607
You should use a circle. But this gives you hopefully a little bit of an idea of some ways you can draw and adjust things in illustrator.

292
00:30:01,607 --> 00:30:14,087
OK. All right. You also have the paint brush tool, so the paint brush tool is basically the similar to, say, the pencil or the.

293
00:30:14,087 --> 00:30:18,437
And it's also smoother. I feel like like the pencil can be. OK?

294
00:30:18,437 --> 00:30:22,697
And you can also choose all kinds of brushes that you want to do.

295
00:30:22,697 --> 00:30:31,217
So you can put some really artistic things in there like that, you know, and have really sort of an interesting brush that you do.

296
00:30:31,217 --> 00:30:37,647
OK. This is nice for maybe accepting things in in an illustrator file.

297
00:30:37,647 --> 00:30:43,367
You know, if you need some, you can even do sort of like watercolor with them and things like that.

298
00:30:43,367 --> 00:30:50,187
And there's all kinds of artistic brushes that you can that you can pick, and there's even more online.

299
00:30:50,187 --> 00:30:57,887
That's why there's a little library menu here, and you can choose what kind of brush do you want?

300
00:30:57,887 --> 00:31:01,637
All kinds of interesting things that you can pick decorative brushes.

301
00:31:01,637 --> 00:31:06,017
These are also good ways to maybe get ideas if you're trying to create something like a

302
00:31:06,017 --> 00:31:11,717
logo or you see a little artistic sort of header at the top of a poster or something,

303
00:31:11,717 --> 00:31:17,357
then you could use these sort of more artistic brushes instead of just a boring line or something.

304
00:31:17,357 --> 00:31:22,397
And it's about the same, you know, to create, you know, which is which is very nice.

305
00:31:22,397 --> 00:31:30,287
So, yeah, so you can you can do that. And if you want it to be straight, you can hold the shift key down and drag and it'll be straight.

306
00:31:30,287 --> 00:31:34,157
So lots of fun things with brushes that you can do.

307
00:31:34,157 --> 00:31:38,867
So that's pretty cool. Let's go back and see what else we have here.

308
00:31:38,867 --> 00:31:46,697
Reminder of the Shape Builder tool Don't forget you have the Shape Builder tool that you need to really use help you create some shapes.

309
00:31:46,697 --> 00:31:55,417
So if we wanted to say we have this sort of ellipse and then maybe we have a rectangle,

310
00:31:55,417 --> 00:31:59,687
you know, and we're going to kind of overlap them a little bit.

311
00:31:59,687 --> 00:32:09,197
And then what we can do is so if we want this to all be one shape, just select both of them and then you can go to the Shape Builder tool, OK?

312
00:32:09,197 --> 00:32:15,017
And then if you want it to be combined, you just kind of click and drag and use the plus part.

313
00:32:15,017 --> 00:32:24,467
If you want it to do that, if you want to take away, then you press the alt key and then we would take away that section.

314
00:32:24,467 --> 00:32:28,607
So you can do a lot with using other shapes to cut pieces of other shapes out.

315
00:32:28,607 --> 00:32:34,667
See, that's that would be a better man for us to use.

316
00:32:34,667 --> 00:32:37,697
Yeah. So you can do a lot with the Shape Miller tool. Don't forget about that.

317
00:32:37,697 --> 00:32:43,427
That's super handy for putting together, and shapes are going to come out better anyway than free form unless you're like,

318
00:32:43,427 --> 00:32:49,397
pretty good at it and you were practicing. So start with those four shapes, paths and combining.

319
00:32:49,397 --> 00:32:58,457
You also have that image trace option, and we've got links in this presentation as well to that image trace to help you remember how to do that.

320
00:32:58,457 --> 00:33:05,627
But you can bring in an image, tell it to trace and it'll find the lines for you, and then you can manipulate those knot lines with color and so on.

321
00:33:05,627 --> 00:33:12,637
So that's that's another great thing to do. You just take a picture, just make sure you're not really violating copyright when you do that.

322
00:33:12,637 --> 00:33:18,887
So it's a great way to do something like if you need like a map and then you want to decorate

323
00:33:18,887 --> 00:33:24,707
that map with certain data or information or colors because of the research you're doing.

324
00:33:24,707 --> 00:33:31,217
That would be a great thing to do because you just find find a Creative Commons map outline, you know,

325
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:37,667
on the internet and then pull that in for the image trace and then you're recreating your own.

326
00:33:37,667 --> 00:33:45,197
It's literally like tracing on paper, right, so that you're on the computer and then you can just add your own things information to that map.

327
00:33:45,197 --> 00:33:51,467
So image trace would be a great can be a great way to solve that problem.

328
00:33:51,467 --> 00:33:53,897
You can also apply brushes to paths and shapes.

329
00:33:53,897 --> 00:33:59,657
So just like we did a brush here, you can like, choose that path and change it to that particular brush.

330
00:33:59,657 --> 00:34:03,887
So that's a nice way to get interesting looks, too.

331
00:34:03,887 --> 00:34:10,037
OK, so we've done art boards, drawing tools, and then we're going to talk about sort of editing drawing tools.

332
00:34:10,037 --> 00:34:17,867
We kind of already talked about this. Let's go into the edit pads file and we can maybe practice this a little bit further.

333
00:34:17,867 --> 00:34:24,527
We also didn't talk about Join, so we can talk about that as well. So let's open another file.

334
00:34:24,527 --> 00:34:34,837
So we're going to go open. We're going to open editing paths is the one we're going to open now and we can leave this other one open notice in.

335
00:34:34,837 --> 00:34:42,727
Illustrator, you can open multiple files that way if you want to, like, go back to this one a mess around and come back, then you can do that.

336
00:34:42,727 --> 00:34:48,697
OK, so here's a nice example of some sort of artwork that somebody has put together.

337
00:34:48,697 --> 00:34:55,267
Let's zoom in a little bit. OK, and let's talk about these a little bit more in depth.

338
00:34:55,267 --> 00:35:05,887
So the selection tool helps you basically select the entire path or object or shape.

339
00:35:05,887 --> 00:35:11,497
You can also select more than one by clicking and dragging over a part in.

340
00:35:11,497 --> 00:35:16,027
You can see it sort of highlights Blue, for example, the pieces that we've selected.

341
00:35:16,027 --> 00:35:23,077
It's not. It's saying we haven't selected these. You can select more by holding down, either.

342
00:35:23,077 --> 00:35:29,137
It's a shift in order to keep adding more of those if you want to.

343
00:35:29,137 --> 00:35:33,787
But selection tool is sexy basically the entire path.

344
00:35:33,787 --> 00:35:43,117
OK? Whereas the direct selection tool will show you all of the little anchor points for that particular path.

345
00:35:43,117 --> 00:35:50,557
And then you can use those anchor points to pick them up and drag it, move it around, and so on.

346
00:35:50,557 --> 00:35:55,987
You can also add more anchor points to a particular path.

347
00:35:55,987 --> 00:36:03,577
So if we wanted to add an anchor point there, then that gives us a little bit more control over our drawing.

348
00:36:03,577 --> 00:36:14,107
OK. So you can use anchor points and selecting paths in the direct selection tool to help you really refine, refine what you've drawn.

349
00:36:14,107 --> 00:36:18,767
Maybe this is drawing. Somebody could probably do this with the pen tool if they were pretty good.

350
00:36:18,767 --> 00:36:23,317
You know, I would rather try something like this, but yeah. Yeah.

351
00:36:23,317 --> 00:36:29,437
And then also, if you are drawing, you know, sort of free form some things.

352
00:36:29,437 --> 00:36:38,017
So yeah, I noticed we didn't select any of those. But here's another thing that you can do when you're drawing, you can join pads.

353
00:36:38,017 --> 00:36:42,307
So like, for example, let's say we were just drawing.

354
00:36:42,307 --> 00:36:51,807
We'll go back and get the. PenTile. OK, so let's say we were just drawing some paths.

355
00:36:51,807 --> 00:36:56,427
And then let's say we didn't really want that, we wanted this to connect.

356
00:36:56,427 --> 00:37:01,047
But another way we can do it instead of just clicking here, which you can do with the pencil,

357
00:37:01,047 --> 00:37:08,277
but maybe you've used the pencil tool or you have a bunch of shapes and then there's like a tiny little piece that's not connected there,

358
00:37:08,277 --> 00:37:19,287
but you want them to be connected. What you can do is you can go to the selection tool, which we have this path selected now and now we can go to arm.

359
00:37:19,287 --> 00:37:27,517
If we go here and just double check here, we can go to object path and joined in order to join those paths together.

360
00:37:27,517 --> 00:37:33,817
So object. And then we're going to get a pass and then join.

361
00:37:33,817 --> 00:37:37,767
We will see. Same, same or two different paths. Yeah, we did that.

362
00:37:37,767 --> 00:37:41,677
We have just like the ends, I think is what it is.

363
00:37:41,677 --> 00:37:46,027
I think we have to direct select. There we go. Let's try that.

364
00:37:46,027 --> 00:37:51,817
So we're going to go to object. Pass and join.

365
00:37:51,817 --> 00:37:59,437
There we go. So we have to use the direct selection tool first to select the two points that we want to join,

366
00:37:59,437 --> 00:38:03,757
and then we use that feature called object passed join.

367
00:38:03,757 --> 00:38:08,347
And also, by the way, it tells you what the shortcut keyboard shortcut for that is.

368
00:38:08,347 --> 00:38:17,107
So control J. OK, so direct, select and control J. That was a simple example, but as you draw and your things get more complicated,

369
00:38:17,107 --> 00:38:26,527
a lot of times you may want to make sure that those paths join so that you can give this particular item like a fill color.

370
00:38:26,527 --> 00:38:34,747
OK? And if they weren't joined, the fill color would spill out into the rest of the paper until it ran into another pass.

371
00:38:34,747 --> 00:38:39,457
So a lot of times people are trying to color things and then it doesn't color

372
00:38:39,457 --> 00:38:43,567
right and doesn't color right because they haven't joined those paths properly.

373
00:38:43,567 --> 00:38:48,547
So that's that's one other trick to remember when you are drawing. All right.

374
00:38:48,547 --> 00:38:58,677
Let's see what else. Um. Yes, we learned about double clicking and anchor point to make it a straight versus curved.

375
00:38:58,677 --> 00:39:02,977
You can do that. We learned about adding anchor points.

376
00:39:02,977 --> 00:39:08,137
You just you have to click on the path. That's always the trick, and that's always the trick, no matter what.

377
00:39:08,137 --> 00:39:14,917
Like some people like, get frustrated because they might click here trying to capture or trying to grab this guitar.

378
00:39:14,917 --> 00:39:18,667
But there's nothing there, so it's not going to do anything right. It's not a piece of clip art.

379
00:39:18,667 --> 00:39:25,597
It's a pass. So you have to choose the path and then you get this what they call the bounding box around the edge,

380
00:39:25,597 --> 00:39:29,017
and that helps determine the size of that particular path.

381
00:39:29,017 --> 00:39:34,777
So if we scroll down, we can see the bounding box, see it hits the edges here.

382
00:39:34,777 --> 00:39:39,217
So the boundary box is going to be as big as the biggest part of the pass.

383
00:39:39,217 --> 00:39:50,257
OK. And so if I wanted to move this, I have to make sure that I click on the pass and ask Move movement, not like the blank space in the path.

384
00:39:50,257 --> 00:39:55,267
OK, so that's always like a trick. Or I mean, if it's color, do you still have to choose the path?

385
00:39:55,267 --> 00:39:58,927
So be it. Yeah, remember that. All right.

386
00:39:58,927 --> 00:40:02,937
Let's see what else. We joined 'cause that was cool.

387
00:40:02,937 --> 00:40:11,307
Oh yes, let's do the text, this is quite fun. OK, so let's use our space bar to kind of move paint over here for a bit.

388
00:40:11,307 --> 00:40:17,577
So we learned about text last time. You can you can get the type tool up.

389
00:40:17,577 --> 00:40:24,387
You can if you just click. You're going to get just a single box if you click and drag.

390
00:40:24,387 --> 00:40:27,327
You'll get a paragraph. So depending on what you need to create,

391
00:40:27,327 --> 00:40:34,647
if you're trying to create a poster that will be helpful to you and then you can choose your typeface over here,

392
00:40:34,647 --> 00:40:38,307
you can go ahead and type in your text. Here it.

393
00:40:38,307 --> 00:40:42,297
This is just some placeholder text that you can completely alter.

394
00:40:42,297 --> 00:40:53,277
Of course, you have color that you can choose, you know, size, whatever you have letting, which is the spacing between the letters.

395
00:40:53,277 --> 00:40:59,317
You also have tracking, which is the space in between the characters that you can adjust.

396
00:40:59,317 --> 00:41:02,517
So that's what makes Illustrator nice kind of like InDesign that way.

397
00:41:02,517 --> 00:41:08,727
In some ways, InDesign is more options for text, but Illustrator has some of those same options available.

398
00:41:08,727 --> 00:41:16,407
So a lot of people make posters advertisements out of Illustrator, especially if it's mostly, you know,

399
00:41:16,407 --> 00:41:23,817
like sort of cartoon type pictures or, you know, images that they've drawn or something like that as opposed to photographic.

400
00:41:23,817 --> 00:41:31,887
But you still can't put photos in here. OK, you just go to file place and you can place a photographic image in here just like an InDesign.

401
00:41:31,887 --> 00:41:35,787
So that's an option also. But anyway, let's get back to text.

402
00:41:35,787 --> 00:41:41,757
So let's undo because I don't really need that whole paragraph, but I do want to change this text here.

403
00:41:41,757 --> 00:41:47,427
I might say something like this is probably the type of guitar that this is based on the shape.

404
00:41:47,427 --> 00:41:56,847
And now I have I can change the font size over here and the style and all of that, you know, that's pretty cool.

405
00:41:56,847 --> 00:42:08,907
This powerhouse is a pretty cool font. I can increase the font size like a lot, and then let's use the source selection tool to move it around.

406
00:42:08,907 --> 00:42:13,617
Same thing with type, you have to select one of the pieces of type in order to move it.

407
00:42:13,617 --> 00:42:24,687
OK, now this already looks pretty cool, but if we can also apply special effects to text OK, we can do something that's called create outlines.

408
00:42:24,687 --> 00:42:28,977
So right now this is live text. I can double click it and edit it.

409
00:42:28,977 --> 00:42:38,877
I can still change the font style and the size and all of that and the spacing and the where is it aligning to and all of that.

410
00:42:38,877 --> 00:42:48,897
But notice we have this little option down here called create outlines. And once we do that, it takes that text and turns them basically into shapes.

411
00:42:48,897 --> 00:42:56,737
And then I can manipulate those shapes with the same tools that we were just using earlier the direct selection tool and the anchor point.

412
00:42:56,737 --> 00:43:04,767
So just like we figured out that we can click and drag anchor points to manipulate the drawings that we did of the paths.

413
00:43:04,767 --> 00:43:10,077
Same thing with text, but you have to go through this first step, create outlines.

414
00:43:10,077 --> 00:43:18,757
Otherwise, this is text. So you want to do this after you're sure of your text and all of that, and you know you're not going to make changes to it.

415
00:43:18,757 --> 00:43:23,667
I mean, you can always redo it, but you know, keep that in mind. So let's create outlines from this.

416
00:43:23,667 --> 00:43:32,367
OK, so now that we've created outlines from this? Now notice that there's all these sort of different points that we can pick.

417
00:43:32,367 --> 00:43:41,157
So now if we go to the direct selection tool, the direct selection tool is showing us all of the little anchor points that Illustrator had

418
00:43:41,157 --> 00:43:49,107
to make in order to turn those pieces of text into essentially shapes that we can change.

419
00:43:49,107 --> 00:43:57,297
OK. So what we can do now is we can distort the text and make it look pretty cool.

420
00:43:57,297 --> 00:44:03,957
Something we want to do first is to select both of the anchor points on one of these pieces of text.

421
00:44:03,957 --> 00:44:09,957
And now we can click and drag and we can use shift if we want to keep it straight.

422
00:44:09,957 --> 00:44:14,307
And now we have some pretty cool effects for text. OK.

423
00:44:14,307 --> 00:44:21,897
And this might be cool to maybe make this look like a guitar head or something like that, right?

424
00:44:21,897 --> 00:44:26,097
So you can do a lot of interesting things with text that way.

425
00:44:26,097 --> 00:44:31,977
OK. So again, we were using direct selection tool so that we can see all of our parts.

426
00:44:31,977 --> 00:44:38,187
OK? And now notice we still have this as an object that we can click and drag and move around.

427
00:44:38,187 --> 00:44:44,487
But when we use the direct selection tool, we can really do some neat things.

428
00:44:44,487 --> 00:44:54,957
So there's both of those. OK. So you could do one letter bigger even or stretch it out or something like that or all kinds of neat stuff.

429
00:44:54,957 --> 00:44:59,607
So that is creating outlines, which is which is pretty fun.

430
00:44:59,607 --> 00:45:07,647
Another thing? I wanted to tell you about just super quickly, since this popped up is there's a global edit option.

431
00:45:07,647 --> 00:45:13,287
Let's say that I had this pink color sort of in different places on this piece of artwork.

432
00:45:13,287 --> 00:45:20,547
I could choose this pink color, do a global edit and change the pink to green.

433
00:45:20,547 --> 00:45:25,587
And then everywhere that this pink existed, it would change it to green automatically for me.

434
00:45:25,587 --> 00:45:32,577
So it means global like throughout your art boards, throughout your illustrator file make changes to it.

435
00:45:32,577 --> 00:45:37,257
So it's a nice way to freshen up a logo or something and make lots of big changes.

436
00:45:37,257 --> 00:45:44,967
OK, let's see what else. So we did that workspaces I mentioned earlier, I just wanted to briefly.

437
00:45:44,967 --> 00:45:50,637
I'll briefly mentioned it to you again because they have like, here's an example of one, just so you can see.

438
00:45:50,637 --> 00:45:59,817
So if you go to the typography workspace, it basically just changes the tools that are available to you,

439
00:45:59,817 --> 00:46:04,047
mostly at the top and sometimes on this right hand side.

440
00:46:04,047 --> 00:46:08,487
OK. And it gives you some more options for so typographical poster.

441
00:46:08,487 --> 00:46:11,967
They're figuring you want to use the align tool a lot to line things up,

442
00:46:11,967 --> 00:46:19,527
like maybe align this to the top of this, you know, for example, change, maybe changing the corners.

443
00:46:19,527 --> 00:46:26,877
You probably want to do a lot with text. So they've popped up, you know, the paragraph and the character edits.

444
00:46:26,877 --> 00:46:30,867
So it's just a different series of tools that are still there.

445
00:46:30,867 --> 00:46:33,867
And Illustrator is just if you're working on a specific project,

446
00:46:33,867 --> 00:46:39,027
then you can pull up that particular workspace and it just makes it faster to find some of those tools.

447
00:46:39,027 --> 00:46:42,757
So also just said, I'm going to go back to essentials.

448
00:46:42,757 --> 00:46:46,197
That's what we've been working on. But as you can see, there's lots, right?

449
00:46:46,197 --> 00:46:50,697
There's layout, there's even painting, printing and proofing. There's even one for tracing.

450
00:46:50,697 --> 00:46:56,667
So for him to be doing a lot of tracing, that could be helpful. We're going to go back to essentials here.

451
00:46:56,667 --> 00:47:06,957
And then if you're interested in making sort of like a typographical poster, there is a great video right here that I saved for you guys.

452
00:47:06,957 --> 00:47:09,687
And this, you know how to do everything in here.

453
00:47:09,687 --> 00:47:21,997
This is essentially boxes and, you know, rectangles, essentially and then text and then to get the black behind it, you just duplicate that text.

454
00:47:21,997 --> 00:47:26,157
You hold down the alt and drag to make that duplicate of that text.

455
00:47:26,157 --> 00:47:29,667
And then you just change one of the colors to black and then you just kind of position them,

456
00:47:29,667 --> 00:47:34,887
offset a little bit and you've got this neat drop shadow or, you know, depth effect.

457
00:47:34,887 --> 00:47:39,237
And then these are all different text boxes that they put in.

458
00:47:39,237 --> 00:47:43,617
They're essentially different text. So that way and you just change the font.

459
00:47:43,617 --> 00:47:48,847
And if it's caps or no caps, and then you can make a pretty cool little typographical poster that gets people's attention.

460
00:47:48,847 --> 00:47:53,337
So that's that's a nice way to do it. The big quotations pretty pretty.

461
00:47:53,337 --> 00:47:57,447
So that would be a good little challenge to try on your own as well.

462
00:47:57,447 --> 00:48:02,607
That's a good one. Effects effects are pretty cool,

463
00:48:02,607 --> 00:48:11,157
but let's open up a new file to work on effects because we need some a cooler thing than just a pencil drawing, basically to work to work on.

464
00:48:11,157 --> 00:48:15,867
So let's open a file and we're going to go to adding effects.

465
00:48:15,867 --> 00:48:24,087
So open up the adding effects. OK, so this is a fun poster, and you can see they basically just made this line with shapes, right?

466
00:48:24,087 --> 00:48:29,127
So this is these are good examples to look at because you'll get some ideas about

467
00:48:29,127 --> 00:48:33,327
how you could use shapes to put things together and find a sketch out on paper.

468
00:48:33,327 --> 00:48:36,657
First, you get some ideas, you know, to help you with that.

469
00:48:36,657 --> 00:48:43,407
But this is nice and colorful, which is great, but it might be cool to have some effects on some of these things.

470
00:48:43,407 --> 00:48:48,627
OK. And so we have let's use the selection tool first.

471
00:48:48,627 --> 00:48:55,647
Actually, we need to use the selection tool, and right here we know that we can adjust the film.

472
00:48:55,647 --> 00:49:01,707
It has no stroke, so that means it's just a clean circle with no edge, basically.

473
00:49:01,707 --> 00:49:08,007
And underneath that, there's a little icon that says F x for effects.

474
00:49:08,007 --> 00:49:13,757
That's what that stands for. So if you click on the effects first, you need to click the thing you want to change first.

475
00:49:13,757 --> 00:49:18,537
So we've chosen the Blue Line head and then you're going to click effects.

476
00:49:18,537 --> 00:49:26,607
And now we have lots of different things we can do in order to give some interests to this.

477
00:49:26,607 --> 00:49:32,727
So we might try something like, let's see, we have all kinds of options here.

478
00:49:32,727 --> 00:49:36,377
Let's try.

479
00:49:36,377 --> 00:49:45,047
There's artistic effects that might be pretty cool, and you can kind of scroll through with me and see there's a whole affected gallery to notice,

480
00:49:45,047 --> 00:49:51,287
these are pulling some of these from Photoshop, but I'm actually just going to choose the styles up here first.

481
00:49:51,287 --> 00:49:56,627
So these are illustrator native illustrator effects. These are Photoshop effects that you also get access to, which is nice.

482
00:49:56,627 --> 00:50:00,857
But let's go to stylize and let's choose outer glow.

483
00:50:00,857 --> 00:50:08,147
That might be pretty cool. And this is an image built for screen, so that's what it needs to know that.

484
00:50:08,147 --> 00:50:10,487
And then what color do we want it to glow?

485
00:50:10,487 --> 00:50:19,337
Maybe we want it to glow sort of like a yellow, and then we can tell it, how much opacity does it need if we want it to be brighter,

486
00:50:19,337 --> 00:50:26,147
we tell it less opacity and then how much blur we can give it less blur if we want it to be bigger.

487
00:50:26,147 --> 00:50:33,497
And notice I have the little preview button checked. That way I can see what I'm doing to see if I like it before I hit OK.

488
00:50:33,497 --> 00:50:37,067
And now we can kind of see, Oh, it's got a cool little effect behind there.

489
00:50:37,067 --> 00:50:42,167
Yeah. So, you know, that's kind of just one little feature we can do.

490
00:50:42,167 --> 00:50:48,677
There's there's many others, but they're under the effects area, stylized.

491
00:50:48,677 --> 00:50:54,287
There's drop shadow that we could put behind there. You know, that actually looks pretty cool.

492
00:50:54,287 --> 00:50:59,717
I'm just going to leave that. So you can kind of see now it's got a little dark shadow underneath it so it can add depth or add interest,

493
00:50:59,717 --> 00:51:06,467
especially if you're creating some basic shapes and basic things. You could add effects to those things in research.

494
00:51:06,467 --> 00:51:09,917
You could really sort of illuminate something that's really important in your

495
00:51:09,917 --> 00:51:13,277
research to capture people's attention and draw their attention to that fact.

496
00:51:13,277 --> 00:51:18,737
So this would be a good thing to use with some of your maybe charts.

497
00:51:18,737 --> 00:51:26,957
You have a chart, you know, and then you glow up the very final point or the conclusion or something like that that would be really neat.

498
00:51:26,957 --> 00:51:31,847
So effects pretty easy. Not too bad to do effects. There's all kinds of play around with it.

499
00:51:31,847 --> 00:51:36,077
Use these practice files to to mess around. This makes it fun.

500
00:51:36,077 --> 00:51:41,357
And then we are getting close to sort of the last part of our lesson.

501
00:51:41,357 --> 00:51:48,197
We're going to be talking about layers. So let's go open the file called creating layers.

502
00:51:48,197 --> 00:51:54,707
So let's go do that. So file open. And then we want creating layers.

503
00:51:54,707 --> 00:51:58,507
So you can work with layers in Illustrator,

504
00:51:58,507 --> 00:52:07,097
similar to how you can add something like Photoshop somehow to zoom out a little bit so you guys can see and zoom out just a little bit.

505
00:52:07,097 --> 00:52:11,957
OK, so right now we have this document, OK?

506
00:52:11,957 --> 00:52:16,127
And pretty much, you know how to do these things, these are shapes, right?

507
00:52:16,127 --> 00:52:22,907
And then this is just a big fancy brush right here, brushed across. That's a nice example of brush usage.

508
00:52:22,907 --> 00:52:27,257
And then some text. So you guys know how to do all of those things. You just put them together, right?

509
00:52:27,257 --> 00:52:33,467
And use the ARR. tool to help you put one on top of the other and so on.

510
00:52:33,467 --> 00:52:42,227
But in order to see this particular documents layers, what we're going to do is we're going to go over two layers, OK?

511
00:52:42,227 --> 00:52:45,557
And we can see that there's only one layer. OK.

512
00:52:45,557 --> 00:52:53,657
So if we expand this layer, we can see the different pieces that are on that layer and notice that they're all blue.

513
00:52:53,657 --> 00:52:58,067
So that means all of these pieces. This is a group of images.

514
00:52:58,067 --> 00:53:02,747
This is a group of images. And then this is a group.

515
00:53:02,747 --> 00:53:06,137
So these are all pieces of the layer, you know?

516
00:53:06,137 --> 00:53:13,457
You can also click on the piece of artwork, and it will highlight for you in this little upper right hand corner.

517
00:53:13,457 --> 00:53:17,207
Which which group is it and where in the layer is it?

518
00:53:17,207 --> 00:53:21,347
And it's showing us that it's on layer one and it's within this little group.

519
00:53:21,347 --> 00:53:27,077
OK. So another thing you can do if you want to not mess up all of these things,

520
00:53:27,077 --> 00:53:34,337
you can create new things like maybe we want to put this on a more colorful background overall as a new layer.

521
00:53:34,337 --> 00:53:41,147
So let's go back to, you know, on expanding that particular layer.

522
00:53:41,147 --> 00:53:46,217
And what we can do now is we can not selecting anything. We can go down here to the bottom.

523
00:53:46,217 --> 00:53:50,957
There's a little plus sign create new layer, so we'll create a new layer.

524
00:53:50,957 --> 00:53:58,177
We can also name these layers. You just double click. So let's maybe call this one background.

525
00:53:58,177 --> 00:54:03,787
Now notice it has a different color, it's just color coding, it a different color to help us with the organization.

526
00:54:03,787 --> 00:54:08,827
So we know these are different layers. Now, nothing is on our new layer just yet.

527
00:54:08,827 --> 00:54:15,517
OK, if we want to manipulate this layer, if we want to work on this layer, we have to have it selected first.

528
00:54:15,517 --> 00:54:22,237
OK. Same thing with this one. If we want to go back and work on this layer, we have to have it selected so we can go back and work on background.

529
00:54:22,237 --> 00:54:30,877
And we're going to. It's going to put a nice background here. We're just going to do a nice fat rectangle here.

530
00:54:30,877 --> 00:54:37,177
And let's go back and change the fill color to maybe something else.

531
00:54:37,177 --> 00:54:46,507
Let's see, we'll just do that sort of orange color. And now if we go back to layers, OK, we can turn the layers on and off with the little eyes.

532
00:54:46,507 --> 00:54:55,747
It just means view or not, view. OK, now if it's the background, we need this one to be on the bottom, so layers work top to bottom.

533
00:54:55,747 --> 00:55:00,457
So whatever layer is on top, that is what is arranged on top.

534
00:55:00,457 --> 00:55:07,867
OK, so something that's a background we want on the bottom so we can click and drag these layers around.

535
00:55:07,867 --> 00:55:14,137
And now we have a very different look to this particular little poster or flier, right?

536
00:55:14,137 --> 00:55:17,687
And that would be easily editable. You just go back in here,

537
00:55:17,687 --> 00:55:23,047
change the background color and you've got multiple ones or make a new art board or

538
00:55:23,047 --> 00:55:27,757
duplicate the art board and then change the layer in the other art board and so on.

539
00:55:27,757 --> 00:55:34,027
So these are these are really handy things to use is to layer these these things together,

540
00:55:34,027 --> 00:55:42,517
and it makes it really editable so that that way you can come back into the illustrator file and make changes to that particular layer,

541
00:55:42,517 --> 00:55:50,827
and you're not messing with all of the other artwork that you've put in. So that's a very nice feature to to use, which is which is great.

542
00:55:50,827 --> 00:55:57,337
All right. So let's see what else we need to talk about here. Oh, you can also move content to a new layer.

543
00:55:57,337 --> 00:56:04,387
So for some reason, I wanted this particular content to be on a different layer.

544
00:56:04,387 --> 00:56:10,147
I can actually click and drag that particular content, and now it's part of the background.

545
00:56:10,147 --> 00:56:17,227
See how the brush is now on top. So you can use that to really manipulate your artwork.

546
00:56:17,227 --> 00:56:24,517
Put it on different layers and so on. OK. And then I won't do that for this particular project, though.

547
00:56:24,517 --> 00:56:33,577
OK, great. So layers of super helpful. Keep your keep your master file so as you're saving your work.

548
00:56:33,577 --> 00:56:44,077
So if we go to file, save right, then notice that, yeah, we know we don't worry about that right now.

549
00:56:44,077 --> 00:56:48,097
We can go to files. Let's go to file save as you can see the different options.

550
00:56:48,097 --> 00:56:52,447
OK, first. OK, so we can choose to save two cloud documents.

551
00:56:52,447 --> 00:56:57,307
That means you're saving to creative cloud storage, which is fine.

552
00:56:57,307 --> 00:57:03,037
And that's nice for big files. You know, if you have a good network connection, you can also save on your computer.

553
00:57:03,037 --> 00:57:10,987
So you kind of just depends on how you like to work. If you want to share a file with somebody noticed there's a little plus sign up here.

554
00:57:10,987 --> 00:57:16,057
You can share in Illustrator File with somebody, but it has to be stored on the cloud first.

555
00:57:16,057 --> 00:57:23,347
So that's the trick has to be cloud document. Then you can share it with somebody else who has an Adobe ID is how that works.

556
00:57:23,347 --> 00:57:28,507
So anyway, you can choose to save, just save, save on my computer for today right here.

557
00:57:28,507 --> 00:57:33,697
What type do we want to save it as I illustrator format?

558
00:57:33,697 --> 00:57:38,797
So you always want to save that sort of base format so you can come back and edit it whenever you want?

559
00:57:38,797 --> 00:57:42,667
OK? Other things that you can save are your ways. You can save it.

560
00:57:42,667 --> 00:57:47,467
You can save it as a PDF. That's a great way to save a file that you want to show to somebody.

561
00:57:47,467 --> 00:57:56,357
You get some feedback, maybe make some changes, or if you're like you want a really for preview, but you could also print that if you want it to.

562
00:57:56,357 --> 00:58:04,807
OK, these other files apps is another sort of common vector image type file.

563
00:58:04,807 --> 00:58:10,447
There's an illustrator template that just means when somebody opens it, it'll make the copy of it for them.

564
00:58:10,447 --> 00:58:19,237
And SVG is another vector graphics file type, you know, so in speed you compress would just be if it's a very large file.

565
00:58:19,237 --> 00:58:26,827
So these are just various vector file types that you can save it as you can save it as dot apps or SVG.

566
00:58:26,827 --> 00:58:33,757
And then you can you can bring those into InDesign and they will stay that sort of native vector format.

567
00:58:33,757 --> 00:58:39,187
So those are some options. When somebody needs a vector file from you, they may say exactly which one they want.

568
00:58:39,187 --> 00:58:51,547
Now you know how to do it. So when you are ready to use your graphics somewhere else, then the export area is really what you want.

569
00:58:51,547 --> 00:58:58,687
Another thing to remember is if you're going to give somebody this entire file like a print service,

570
00:58:58,687 --> 00:59:05,047
like a professional print service, they will often ask for the package file, and that means you have to go to file package.

571
00:59:05,047 --> 00:59:14,437
It will save a zip folder of all of your pieces of artwork that you've created with the Illustrator file and a PDF version of it.

572
00:59:14,437 --> 00:59:17,557
And then you send that zip folder to the professional printer.

573
00:59:17,557 --> 00:59:22,147
They do that in case they have to manipulate it a little bit themselves, and they would talk to you about that.

574
00:59:22,147 --> 00:59:31,027
Or if you're passing on a whole file of illustrator to someone else and you're not going to work in it anymore or.

575
00:59:31,027 --> 00:59:37,227
You are. That's how you want to share a document with somebody, then you can do that way.

576
00:59:37,227 --> 00:59:45,087
You can also save it to the cloud. But if you do a package file, then it saves all of those individual pictures that you made to, which is nice.

577
00:59:45,087 --> 00:59:53,187
A separate files. So then that's like the most editable way to send something to send a send an illustrator file to somebody else is to package it.

578
00:59:53,187 --> 01:00:01,377
Same thing is in design. Same thing. You also get to have some options, though, for export and you can export just a selection.

579
01:00:01,377 --> 01:00:07,617
So if I've got just these pingpong selected, I can export just that asset.

580
01:00:07,617 --> 01:00:11,967
And then I can tell it, where do I want it to export? Do I? What format do I want?

581
01:00:11,967 --> 01:00:18,177
I want to plug. Typically, you're going to want a PNG. OK, but notice you do have these other options.

582
01:00:18,177 --> 01:00:26,367
And notice this is really cool. You can add a scale. So if this was a logo I was going to use, I might want it at different sizes.

583
01:00:26,367 --> 01:00:34,857
You can very quickly tell it to do all kinds of different sizes like I want one that's four times as big to be exported to.

584
01:00:34,857 --> 01:00:40,527
So I have multiple copies. So you can you can adjust that, which is really neat.

585
01:00:40,527 --> 01:00:46,707
And then if you export the asset, then it's going to ask you, where do you want it to be saved?

586
01:00:46,707 --> 01:00:50,487
It's going to save it in that same folder and here's the folders that they put it in.

587
01:00:50,487 --> 01:01:00,087
So now if we go in here, we have this nice PNG file. OK, last thing I'll show you today is the export as OK.

588
01:01:00,087 --> 01:01:05,677
And you can choose again. You can choose just a straight up PNG and so on.

589
01:01:05,677 --> 01:01:14,127
So let's just use that for now and export. Here's what's nice, though this is where you can choose to export it with a transparent background.

590
01:01:14,127 --> 01:01:21,387
So if I want to just as Ping-Pong, so I could export it just with a transparent background and then I can put it on whatever I want,

591
01:01:21,387 --> 01:01:29,037
and it's going to seem the background of that. I can tell it white or black as well, or I can leave it transparent.

592
01:01:29,037 --> 01:01:35,757
And then usually you tell it, what do you need it for? If it's for screen, you're good at 72 PI.

593
01:01:35,757 --> 01:01:40,077
If you need it for print, then you need to export it a higher resolution.

594
01:01:40,077 --> 01:01:46,077
And that is what needs to be printed. So and then you have it saved in your folder or wherever you chose that to go.

595
01:01:46,077 --> 01:01:51,087
So, yeah, so we pretty much got through our lesson.

596
01:01:51,087 --> 01:01:58,137
Another option for saving, by the way, is that you can also save to Creative Cloud libraries.

597
01:01:58,137 --> 01:02:02,307
Let me show you this one last thing, and then it'll be time for us to go.

598
01:02:02,307 --> 01:02:06,087
But libraries over here, we're going to skip that for now.

599
01:02:06,087 --> 01:02:11,937
You can create a new library in your Creative Cloud libraries and its online storage.

600
01:02:11,937 --> 01:02:16,317
In this case, I'm going to go to my logo one because I've already had this made.

601
01:02:16,317 --> 01:02:26,127
And now, if I just want this artwork and I want to use it somewhere else like InDesign, Photoshop, I can just drag it to the libraries and it's there.

602
01:02:26,127 --> 01:02:31,497
And then when I go to InDesign, I open up my libraries and I can pull it into another document.

603
01:02:31,497 --> 01:02:38,727
This is a great way to be organized with a group of people or just for yourself or team members to share logos,

604
01:02:38,727 --> 01:02:45,237
pictures, images, assets, whatever you create. You know, that's a pizza logo that we made.

605
01:02:45,237 --> 01:02:57,567
OK, so back on our website web page here, there is a practice logo that you can do,

606
01:02:57,567 --> 01:03:00,477
which is pretty good, and I walk you through kind of how to do that.

607
01:03:00,477 --> 01:03:07,257
There's a there's a whole nother logo making workshop recorded on our website that

608
01:03:07,257 --> 01:03:11,427
you're welcome to check out and we go through making a making a logo for pizza.

609
01:03:11,427 --> 01:03:16,617
So that's pretty fun. Getting started in illustrator tutorials,

610
01:03:16,617 --> 01:03:23,817
these are the ones I mentioned that are so good and you've learned all of this last time in beginner and this time in intermediate,

611
01:03:23,817 --> 01:03:27,597
you've done the entire get started course in Illustrator.

612
01:03:27,597 --> 01:03:32,577
So now you can do even more, you can go to experienced or whatever. So that's an option.

613
01:03:32,577 --> 01:03:44,097
And then there's plenty of other resources here. Adobe Stock lets you we have access to Adobe Stock Images only not video and audio, but images only.

614
01:03:44,097 --> 01:03:50,487
You can sort those by vector images so you can find a stock vector image.

615
01:03:50,487 --> 01:03:54,147
Download it, bring it into Illustrator. Make changes to it.

616
01:03:54,147 --> 01:03:59,697
So if you're not that good at maybe drawing plants or whatever you need for your research file,

617
01:03:59,697 --> 01:04:03,567
you can go download that vector image, bring it in and change the colors.

618
01:04:03,567 --> 01:04:10,297
Make the edits like we learned about how to edit paths and all that. It'll be editable paths that you're bringing in.

619
01:04:10,297 --> 01:04:16,707
OK, so that's a great way to jump start. Your design is bring in those images.

620
01:04:16,707 --> 01:04:23,377
You have access to Adobe fonts. There's the Adobe color tool that helps you check like four color contrast and stuff.

621
01:04:23,377 --> 01:04:27,477
If you're putting stuff on the web, that's public, you know, image trace.

622
01:04:27,477 --> 01:04:30,637
If you need help with that, people make their resume.

623
01:04:30,637 --> 01:04:36,517
Out of Adobe Illustrator, because their vector, so it doesn't matter the sizes, so that's a cool idea.

624
01:04:36,517 --> 01:04:44,077
Using it for graphs. Adobe Illustrator actually has a whole graph tool that we did not get into today.

625
01:04:44,077 --> 01:04:51,787
But now that you know, these skills is basically just like using the graph tool in, say, Excel, except it's going to make it a lot more pretty.

626
01:04:51,787 --> 01:04:58,627
So that's an option. And then you can manipulate it afterwards, right with the anchor points and the colors you want and all of that.

627
01:04:58,627 --> 01:05:06,517
And there's all kinds of other resources here. We also have Adobe consultants who work on the first floor in our library and also on Zoom.

628
01:05:06,517 --> 01:05:15,097
And you are welcome to ask them questions. Men, most of them also know illustrator and can answer your questions usually better than better than me.

629
01:05:15,097 --> 01:05:26,617
So feel free to reach out to them as well. And also, we this is a link to our main innovation and research comments website,

630
01:05:26,617 --> 01:05:36,097
so hopefully this helps you guys kind of get learn a little bit more about Adobe Illustrator.

631
01:05:36,097 --> 01:05:41,767
I'm going to put in the chat and link to at least HTP.

632
01:05:41,767 --> 01:05:47,707
Let me put that in there. There we go.

633
01:05:47,707 --> 01:05:50,887
A link to our workshop feedback survey,

634
01:05:50,887 --> 01:05:58,237
if you have a minute or you're going to get it tomorrow as an email as well and you can, it's more in the email.

635
01:05:58,237 --> 01:06:08,827
You will get a link to this presentation for today, a link to today's recording from today and also a link to our feedback survey.

636
01:06:08,827 --> 01:06:13,687
So this is the first time we've done this. Particular workshops are always looking to improve, so thank you.

637
01:06:13,687 --> 01:06:20,677
If you have some time, please complete a little survey. So thank you all for so, so much for being here today.

638
01:06:20,677 --> 01:06:28,267
Hope this was helpful to learn a little bit more about Illustrator and I will hang out for a few minutes if there are some questions.

639
01:06:28,267 --> 01:06:29,308
Thank you so much. Of course, thank you.
