1
00:00:00,389 --> 00:00:03,619
Hey there, in this video
we're going to look at color combinations.
2
00:00:03,644 --> 00:00:05,644
We're going to let Adobe help us...
3
00:00:05,669 --> 00:00:09,153
find new exciting colors that we might
not normally go for.
4
00:00:09,468 --> 00:00:11,238
Now I'm not saying
these are all beautiful...
5
00:00:11,278 --> 00:00:13,170
but I'm saying, it's kind of giving me...
6
00:00:13,195 --> 00:00:16,694
and pushing me out of my normal colors,
that I normally use.
7
00:00:17,595 --> 00:00:19,786
So let's let Adobe show us
how to do that now.
8
00:00:20,583 --> 00:00:21,894
To find our lovely colors...
9
00:00:21,919 --> 00:00:25,197
we're going to open up a file,
'Color Theme.ai'.
10
00:00:25,397 --> 00:00:27,112
That will be in your 'Exercise Files'.
11
00:00:27,337 --> 00:00:31,956
You can go up to 'Window',
come down to 'Color Themes', open that up.
12
00:00:32,739 --> 00:00:35,652
Now yours has probably defaulted
to 'Create', click on 'Explore'.
13
00:00:36,511 --> 00:00:39,371
It may take a little while to load,
a long time to load, sometimes.
14
00:00:39,396 --> 00:00:42,279
Sometimes I'm using this panel,
it loads very fast, as it is now...
15
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:44,361
but sometimes it does take a long time.
16
00:00:44,839 --> 00:00:47,744
What we're looking for is-- we're going
to switch ours to 'Most Popular'.
17
00:00:47,985 --> 00:00:49,172
And, of 'All' time.
18
00:00:49,197 --> 00:00:50,685
This is going to give you some...
19
00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:52,782
five color Swatches
that work well together.
20
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,493
Just really helps people like me...
21
00:00:54,518 --> 00:00:56,875
who end up kind of falling back
on the same colors.
22
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,194
If you're doing this tutorial...
23
00:00:58,813 --> 00:01:04,785
you'll notice that pretty much everything
is this gray and kind of green.
24
00:01:05,045 --> 00:01:07,260
I want to say, kind of a
turquoise kind of green.
25
00:01:07,285 --> 00:01:10,261
Just the colors I like at the moment,
and it's hard to break out of that.
26
00:01:10,787 --> 00:01:12,944
So if you come to me, you want cafe...
27
00:01:12,969 --> 00:01:14,446
you're probably going to get
green and gray.
28
00:01:14,646 --> 00:01:18,107
And if you want to be a bank,
you'd probably get green and gray.
29
00:01:18,507 --> 00:01:20,093
So not the best move.
30
00:01:20,612 --> 00:01:23,382
So all you need to do is
click on one of the elements...
31
00:01:23,407 --> 00:01:25,297
and then pick one of the colors.
I'm going to say, this.
32
00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:29,214
It's a little weird sometimes.
Here we go.
33
00:01:29,598 --> 00:01:31,844
'Black Arrow', click on that,
I'm going to pick another color.
34
00:01:32,434 --> 00:01:33,986
Click on this, I'm going
to leave him white.
35
00:01:34,011 --> 00:01:35,559
This guy here is going to be...
36
00:01:36,828 --> 00:01:38,320
dark green, maybe the dark one here.
37
00:01:38,748 --> 00:01:41,064
And this guy over here,??
38
00:01:42,365 --> 00:01:45,714
Then the logo here, I'm going to
switch out to the green as well.
39
00:01:46,926 --> 00:01:48,563
So that's how you do color options.
40
00:01:48,588 --> 00:01:51,119
Just kind of getting out of
your comfort zone for colors.
41
00:01:51,303 --> 00:01:53,271
Next thing I want to do
is make a duplicate.
42
00:01:53,449 --> 00:01:57,092
Say you have to go to the client
with a few color options.
43
00:01:57,532 --> 00:02:00,167
So, grab the 'Artboard Tool',
it's down the bottom here.
44
00:02:00,671 --> 00:02:03,973
And if you click the word 'Artboard',
and start dragging it, just moving it...
45
00:02:04,118 --> 00:02:06,659
but if I'm dragging, dragging, dragging,
and I hold down...
46
00:02:06,684 --> 00:02:09,556
the 'Option' key on a Mac,
or the 'Alt' key on a PC...
47
00:02:09,828 --> 00:02:12,201
it makes a duplicate while I'm dragging,
which is really handy.
48
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:13,849
So 'Black Arrow'.
49
00:02:14,253 --> 00:02:16,332
Now, we've used 'Most Popular of All Time'.
50
00:02:16,605 --> 00:02:20,160
You can go to just this 'Month',
I find, this 'Week' is a good option.
51
00:02:20,185 --> 00:02:22,712
If you go to 'Month', it's pretty close
to the 'All Time' ones...
52
00:02:22,963 --> 00:02:23,701
whereas 'Week'...
53
00:02:23,726 --> 00:02:25,551
just this week, somebody went out...
54
00:02:25,576 --> 00:02:27,468
these are the ones that are
trending at the moment...
55
00:02:27,493 --> 00:02:28,723
that people are using.
56
00:02:29,073 --> 00:02:32,048
So I might go, okay,
I'm going to do something like...
57
00:02:33,436 --> 00:02:34,555
here's my green.
58
00:02:36,359 --> 00:02:37,827
I'll give it a dark color there.
59
00:02:40,126 --> 00:02:41,332
Now I'm just coloring a bit.
60
00:02:41,577 --> 00:02:42,858
But you get the idea, right?
61
00:02:42,891 --> 00:02:44,850
There's a couple of other things
I want to show you.
62
00:02:45,321 --> 00:02:47,154
That's doing with the color option.
63
00:02:51,431 --> 00:02:54,431
You got to make sure you're dragging
directly on that icon there.
64
00:02:54,649 --> 00:02:55,673
Gets a bit confused.
65
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:58,262
So we'll just use 'Most Popular'.
66
00:02:58,455 --> 00:03:00,820
'Most Used', it's kind of similar...
67
00:03:00,845 --> 00:03:03,092
because there's a voting system
on the backed.
68
00:03:03,269 --> 00:03:07,443
If you go to color.adobe.com,
you can vote for colors, and upload it...
69
00:03:08,433 --> 00:03:10,005
but this little search option's
quite handy.
70
00:03:10,030 --> 00:03:14,054
Say I need something for-- of the 1980s,
say my guy there needs a flyer.
71
00:03:15,985 --> 00:03:18,466
For some reason it's a bit buggy,
lots of the same colors...
72
00:03:18,491 --> 00:03:21,466
but if you scroll down, you can see,
it starts getting into other colors.
73
00:03:21,996 --> 00:03:23,369
It's a bit of a weird one...
74
00:03:23,394 --> 00:03:26,949
but there's plenty of 80s to go around,
especially that first one.
75
00:03:29,949 --> 00:03:33,238
Everyone's parents got a ski suit
in the cupboard.
76
00:03:34,082 --> 00:03:36,884
A one piece ski suit that looks like this.
77
00:03:42,997 --> 00:03:45,716
It's a wrong image for it.
Somebody's gone, "Pretty bad, Dan."
78
00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:47,314
But you get the idea.
79
00:03:47,483 --> 00:03:50,268
What you might do in more
of a practical sense is...
80
00:03:50,293 --> 00:03:51,263
let's look at one more.
81
00:03:53,011 --> 00:03:54,820
Instead of looking for the 80s...
82
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:56,959
you might look for something like 'cafe'.
83
00:03:58,192 --> 00:04:01,917
You can get kind of cafe style
coffee looking things.
84
00:04:01,942 --> 00:04:06,572
You can type in 'bank',
you can actually type some actual brands.
85
00:04:06,757 --> 00:04:09,805
So if I put in-- what's the brand
that I know of by heart?
86
00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:13,062
Let's put in 'Google',
you get the Google colors.
87
00:04:13,810 --> 00:04:15,286
So, big brands.
88
00:04:15,412 --> 00:04:17,242
Weirdly you can find lots of brands.
89
00:04:17,267 --> 00:04:21,163
Like, I'm from Auckland in New Zealand,
it's a tiny, not tiny, but it's unlikely...
90
00:04:21,188 --> 00:04:24,133
but there's the Auckland Council stuff,
there's Auckland city scape.
91
00:04:24,471 --> 00:04:26,188
There's Auckland Transport.
92
00:04:26,213 --> 00:04:29,007
There's all sorts of stuff that people
are using, uploading, and sharing.
93
00:04:29,032 --> 00:04:33,660
You might find your company,
or something that you're using in there.
94
00:04:34,261 --> 00:04:37,810
So, that's it for the Color Theme Tool.
95
00:04:37,835 --> 00:04:40,067
It's just really handy to grab Swatches.
96
00:04:41,442 --> 00:04:45,573
To kind of bust out of
your common green, gray funk...
97
00:04:45,598 --> 00:04:46,794
that you might be in, like me.
98
00:04:47,214 --> 00:04:49,270
All right, that's it
for the Color Theme Tool.
99
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:50,587
See you in the next video.
