00:00:00,825 --> 00:00:02,181
Hey there, in this tutorial...
2
00:00:02,206 --> 00:00:05,078
we're going to look at using
the Eyedropper Tool in Illustrator...
3
00:00:05,103 --> 00:00:07,408
to drive colors from the logos.
4
00:00:07,433 --> 00:00:10,821
So we're going to start with this
black and white version of this postcard.
5
00:00:11,105 --> 00:00:12,718
Then we're going to use
the logos down here...
6
00:00:12,743 --> 00:00:14,486
to drive the colors in these elements.
7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,997
Then we'll use the image to drive some
of these colors in these various elements.
8
00:00:19,224 --> 00:00:22,248
All right, let's go and learn how
to do that now in Illustrator.
9
00:00:23,036 --> 00:00:27,940
To get started, go and open up
the exercise file called 'Eyedropper.ai'.
10
00:00:28,348 --> 00:00:31,436
Grab your 'Black Arrow', and click
in this box in the background.
11
00:00:32,224 --> 00:00:34,834
Then I want you to go and grab
the 'Eyedropper Tool'.
12
00:00:34,859 --> 00:00:36,630
It's towards the bottom of the Tool panel.
13
00:00:37,379 --> 00:00:40,340
And we're going to steal from this
logo first, we'll do the image next...
14
00:00:40,365 --> 00:00:43,715
but if you click on-- you're using the kind
of bottom left of this Eyedropper.
15
00:00:43,902 --> 00:00:46,568
You can see, I can click the purple,
the green, the yellow.
16
00:00:46,675 --> 00:00:47,854
You can decide what you want to do.
17
00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:50,508
I'm going to end up with
this kind of Teal color here.
18
00:00:50,813 --> 00:00:52,844
And I'm just going to work my way around, 'Black Arrow'...
19
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:54,062
click on this white box here.
20
00:00:54,167 --> 00:00:55,722
And I grab my 'Eyedropper Tool' again.
21
00:00:55,754 --> 00:00:58,271
I'm going to use the 'Yellow'.
22
00:00:58,775 --> 00:01:01,704
And with my Black Arrow,
I'm going to click on this text.
23
00:01:01,849 --> 00:01:04,238
I'm going to actually hold 'Shift'
and click both bits of text.
24
00:01:04,407 --> 00:01:07,764
Now I've outlined this text
just to make it easy for you.
25
00:01:07,789 --> 00:01:09,484
You probably don't have this font.
26
00:01:09,881 --> 00:01:12,254
It's just as easy if you
have a font selected.
27
00:01:12,764 --> 00:01:14,217
I'm going to use the purple.
28
00:01:14,526 --> 00:01:17,490
I'm not proud of this color scheme,
but you get the idea, right?
29
00:01:18,081 --> 00:01:19,334
Let's say I want to do it differently.
30
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:21,376
I don't want to use the image
to drive the colors.
31
00:01:21,401 --> 00:01:25,450
It's a really nice way of connecting things
like these graphic elements to the image.
32
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:27,038
And it's pretty basic again...
33
00:01:27,063 --> 00:01:29,645
with the Black Arrow, I'm going to
click on this green option here.
34
00:01:30,037 --> 00:01:32,212
I'm going to grab the 'Eyedropper Tool'...
35
00:01:32,524 --> 00:01:36,254
and all I'm going to do is pick a color
from here, just work my way around, decide.
36
00:01:36,417 --> 00:01:39,345
You can see, I can keep clicking
till I find something that I like.
37
00:01:39,377 --> 00:01:42,999
I'm going to go for,
there, something like that.
38
00:01:45,122 --> 00:01:47,407
I'm going to go through and do
the rest of the options...
39
00:01:47,432 --> 00:01:51,228
but let's say I really love this color now,
and I want to use it again and again...
40
00:01:51,602 --> 00:01:54,594
because I don't want to randomly
have to click in the images...
41
00:01:54,619 --> 00:01:55,856
to try and find it again.
42
00:01:56,083 --> 00:01:57,734
What you can do, is you click on 'Fill'...
43
00:01:58,077 --> 00:02:00,564
and at the moment it's
not a pre-made Swatch...
44
00:02:00,589 --> 00:02:01,935
you can't see it in here.
45
00:02:02,217 --> 00:02:05,415
If you click on this option here,
it says 'New Swatch'...
46
00:02:06,323 --> 00:02:10,664
you can give it a name, I'm going to
call this one 'Maynooth Furniture Gray'.
47
00:02:11,312 --> 00:02:13,360
Let's call it, maybe 'Gray Dark'.
48
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:16,276
And I'm going to click 'OK'.
49
00:02:17,181 --> 00:02:21,700
You'll see over here, now it's a Swatch
that I get to reuse later on.
50
00:02:21,949 --> 00:02:24,864
So I can click off, and say, actually,
instead of having to use the Eyedropper...
51
00:02:24,889 --> 00:02:27,547
I can go to 'Properties' panel,
and I can go to 'Fill'...
52
00:02:27,704 --> 00:02:29,537
I can say, there you are, ready to use.
53
00:02:30,786 --> 00:02:34,024
I'm going to use that color,
I'm going to do a couple of other things.
54
00:02:34,057 --> 00:02:35,518
I'm just going to color
the rest of it basically...
55
00:02:35,543 --> 00:02:37,790
so I'm going to use a
different color for this...
56
00:02:37,815 --> 00:02:41,698
maybe, I donât know,
I'm trying to decide.
57
00:02:42,103 --> 00:02:43,207
Now I'm just mucking about.
58
00:02:44,455 --> 00:02:45,748
Let's click on him.
59
00:02:45,926 --> 00:02:47,609
I might reuse that same one.
60
00:02:48,215 --> 00:02:50,606
So 'Eyedropper Tool',
I can turn it into a Swatch...
61
00:02:50,631 --> 00:02:52,206
or just steal from the bottom here.
62
00:02:52,616 --> 00:02:57,650
And you, I might start using one of
the browns, maybe a dark brown in here.
63
00:02:57,876 --> 00:02:59,907
What am I doing?
Eyedropper Tool. Thank you, Dan.
64
00:03:00,062 --> 00:03:03,943
And click in here. It's a little bit hard
because it's got outlines.
65
00:03:04,541 --> 00:03:05,819
Yes, I get the idea.
66
00:03:06,122 --> 00:03:08,350
With it selected, I'm going to add it
to my Swatches...
67
00:03:08,375 --> 00:03:09,384
so I can use it later on.
68
00:03:09,409 --> 00:03:10,444
I'm going to call this--
69
00:03:10,928 --> 00:03:12,945
often I give it the
initials of the company...
70
00:03:12,970 --> 00:03:14,801
this is Maynooth Furniture, right? MF.
71
00:03:14,997 --> 00:03:16,728
So I'm going to use--
72
00:03:18,857 --> 00:03:20,141
I use the acronym at the beginning...
73
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:22,512
because I work on
so many different brands...
74
00:03:22,537 --> 00:03:24,576
that if I just called it Brown...
75
00:03:25,348 --> 00:03:28,490
it's obviously not going to help me
later on, so let's give it a special name.
76
00:03:28,805 --> 00:03:31,692
This one here, and you can move on
to the next tutorial.
77
00:03:31,717 --> 00:03:33,083
I'm just going to do this.
78
00:03:35,892 --> 00:03:36,788
Awesome!
79
00:03:38,415 --> 00:03:41,690
That is going to be it for this tutorial.
Let's jump in to the next one.
