1
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:05,415
Hi there, in this video
we're going to vectorize things.
2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,273
Take images like this,
and do cool stuff like this, with them.
3
00:00:08,697 --> 00:00:11,501
Then take cool images of
this handsome man; it's me.
4
00:00:11,954 --> 00:00:14,296
And do this kind of stencil thing with me.
5
00:00:14,434 --> 00:00:19,101
Then do this kind of 3D,
and thick graphic, kind of thing.
6
00:00:19,126 --> 00:00:20,381
I think I've said that wrong.
7
00:00:20,406 --> 00:00:21,429
But you get the idea.
8
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:25,239
We're going to turn images
into graphics, and vector.
9
00:00:25,264 --> 00:00:26,842
We have to edit them, and color them...
10
00:00:26,867 --> 00:00:28,466
all in Adobe Illustrator.
11
00:00:28,702 --> 00:00:29,909
Let's go and do it now.
12
00:00:30,538 --> 00:00:32,975
First up, we're going to bring in an image.
13
00:00:33,152 --> 00:00:37,664
So JPEG, or PNG, or PSD from Photoshop,
anything will work.
14
00:00:37,697 --> 00:00:39,927
Let's go to 'File', 'Place'.
15
00:00:40,231 --> 00:00:42,169
We'll start with our 'Exercise File'.
16
00:00:42,194 --> 00:00:43,993
Let's look at that 'Bike'
that we had earlier.
17
00:00:44,259 --> 00:00:45,394
We're going to bring it in.
18
00:00:45,656 --> 00:00:46,688
I'm going to drag it.
19
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:49,810
It's quite a big image, so I'm going
to make it this kind of size.
20
00:00:50,027 --> 00:00:52,059
And with it selected
with my 'Black Arrow'...
21
00:00:52,107 --> 00:00:55,650
my 'Live Trace', and that's
the magic thing, it's right there.
22
00:00:55,675 --> 00:00:56,785
Click on 'Live Trace'.
23
00:00:57,122 --> 00:00:58,517
Now you can pick one of these.
24
00:00:58,542 --> 00:01:01,006
Let's just start with three colors,
give it a look.
25
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:02,749
Your machine will churn away.
26
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:05,637
Fans will come on, and stress out,
trying to do it.
27
00:01:05,893 --> 00:01:06,846
Give it a sec.
28
00:01:06,877 --> 00:01:08,716
I'm filling now. Come on.
29
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:12,423
And nearly there.
30
00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:13,845
Coo, huh!
31
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:15,629
Goes through and vectorizes it.
32
00:01:15,654 --> 00:01:19,350
Gives it that kind of, I don't know,
hand drawn vector look.
33
00:01:19,988 --> 00:01:21,380
You can go and adjust it, and say...
34
00:01:21,405 --> 00:01:24,194
Actually, I don't want three colors,
I would like six colors.
35
00:01:24,453 --> 00:01:26,516
And it will go through and do it.
36
00:01:26,541 --> 00:01:27,794
I'll speed this up.
37
00:01:28,052 --> 00:01:31,306
So it didn't take too long,
but it's gone ahead and taken six colors.
38
00:01:31,532 --> 00:01:33,894
If you want a bit more control,
rather than the presets...
39
00:01:33,919 --> 00:01:35,463
click on this option here.
40
00:01:35,725 --> 00:01:38,495
They'll open up this panel.
That gives you loads of control.
41
00:01:39,337 --> 00:01:41,562
The exact amount of colors you want.
42
00:01:41,789 --> 00:01:43,419
You can go to advanced,
like this is not enough...
43
00:01:43,444 --> 00:01:45,511
you can go to 'Advanced',
and it gets super nerdy.
44
00:01:47,151 --> 00:01:50,476
Have a play around, it's kind of really
up to you what it wants to look like.
45
00:01:50,501 --> 00:01:53,323
I'm going to showing you
a couple of other tricks...
46
00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:55,316
by doing some black and white stuff.
47
00:01:56,187 --> 00:01:57,665
One of the things we might want to do is--
48
00:01:57,690 --> 00:01:59,876
actually I'm going to go back
to three colors.
49
00:02:01,252 --> 00:02:02,760
I might want to speed this up again.
50
00:02:02,785 --> 00:02:05,297
Now let's say that I like this,
and I want to use it...
51
00:02:05,322 --> 00:02:08,522
maybe, change some colors, and move--
it's all kind of stuck together.
52
00:02:09,054 --> 00:02:11,260
Like you're half way through in effect.
53
00:02:11,403 --> 00:02:13,438
You can still see, it's this
Live Trace over here.
54
00:02:13,609 --> 00:02:15,711
When you're finished,
you need to hit 'Expand'.
55
00:02:15,736 --> 00:02:17,093
That kind of says, "I'm done."
56
00:02:17,279 --> 00:02:18,969
With that messing around,
with that effect...
57
00:02:19,210 --> 00:02:22,472
and it's going to churn it into vectors
that I can play around with now.
58
00:02:23,086 --> 00:02:23,942
And what I want to do...
59
00:02:23,967 --> 00:02:26,428
is I'm going to click off in
the background, have nothing selected.
60
00:02:27,226 --> 00:02:29,201
At the moment it's one big
kind of giant group.
61
00:02:29,578 --> 00:02:30,913
What I'd like to do is...
62
00:02:30,938 --> 00:02:33,205
I can use my 'White Arrow',
click in the background...
63
00:02:33,438 --> 00:02:36,406
and just click on one little part.
You can see, I can drag it off.
64
00:02:36,854 --> 00:02:40,687
So I've turned it into like,
lots of little shapes.
65
00:02:40,834 --> 00:02:43,366
Now, say I want to recolor,
maybe this color.
66
00:02:43,757 --> 00:02:47,807
I can hold 'Shift', and go crazy
trying to select them all.
67
00:02:48,032 --> 00:02:52,615
So what you can do is just pick one color,
go up to 'Select', go to 'Same'.
68
00:02:52,648 --> 00:02:56,434
I'd like to select everything in this
document that has the same 'Fill Color'.
69
00:02:56,860 --> 00:02:59,247
It goes and selects just that color
all the way through it.
70
00:02:59,464 --> 00:03:02,758
I can go through now,
and pick something outrageous.
71
00:03:04,212 --> 00:03:07,760
That's a nice way to kind of
get in there with a bit more detail.
72
00:03:07,963 --> 00:03:09,329
So that is, with it selected...
73
00:03:09,354 --> 00:03:11,598
there's an option down here,
called 'Expand'.
74
00:03:12,428 --> 00:03:14,563
So I like this, but I'm going to do
something else.
75
00:03:14,588 --> 00:03:17,536
I'm going to just drag him
to the side there, with my 'Black Arrow'.
76
00:03:17,773 --> 00:03:21,753
We're going to draw things we saw
at the beginning, just the black outline...
77
00:03:22,032 --> 00:03:23,532
plus the colory thing.
78
00:03:23,805 --> 00:03:25,543
So, let's bring in an image.
79
00:03:25,966 --> 00:03:29,632
I'm using my shortcut...
'Command-Shift-P', or 'Control-Shift-P'.
80
00:03:29,995 --> 00:03:32,582
There's one in there called,
it's got my name.
81
00:03:33,553 --> 00:03:35,938
I am Daniel Walter Scott,
can't even find myself.
82
00:03:35,963 --> 00:03:36,867
There I am there.
83
00:03:36,892 --> 00:03:39,363
Use 'Daniel Walter Scott 1'.
84
00:03:40,172 --> 00:03:41,205
I'm going to bring it in.
85
00:03:41,348 --> 00:03:44,682
Again, it's another big image,
so I'm just going to drag it down.
86
00:03:45,415 --> 00:03:47,106
We're going to run into problems
with this one.
87
00:03:48,322 --> 00:03:51,338
So, I want it to--
go to 'Live Trace', that's cool.
88
00:03:52,145 --> 00:03:54,415
I want 'Black and White', because I want
this kind of stencil look.
89
00:03:55,417 --> 00:03:57,116
The trouble with it is that...
90
00:03:57,221 --> 00:03:59,802
there's a background, and it's kind of
interfering with everything.
91
00:03:59,827 --> 00:04:01,011
It looks kind of cool, right?
92
00:04:01,154 --> 00:04:03,567
I can go, 'Options', and drag--
93
00:04:03,654 --> 00:04:05,166
The main one is 'Threshold'.
94
00:04:05,191 --> 00:04:08,730
I can drag it 'lower' and 'higher',
depending on what you want.
95
00:04:08,755 --> 00:04:10,506
You can see, it kind of gets
through to the background...
96
00:04:10,531 --> 00:04:11,754
that quite move this way.
97
00:04:11,997 --> 00:04:13,624
It doesn't.
I know because I played with it.
98
00:04:13,902 --> 00:04:15,731
So I'm going to say...
99
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:19,303
close that, and I'm actually
going to delete it...
100
00:04:19,328 --> 00:04:21,652
because what we're going to do is,
we're going to jump to Photoshop...
101
00:04:21,677 --> 00:04:23,996
because you need to kind of
tidy up the background.
102
00:04:24,021 --> 00:04:26,866
I'm going to show you a nice,
quick, and dirty way to do that.
103
00:04:26,891 --> 00:04:29,933
That looks perfect for the stencil look.
104
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:33,135
So in Photoshop, I've opened up
that same image, here it is.
105
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:35,321
I'm just going to do
a really quick selection.
106
00:04:35,355 --> 00:04:36,600
Now yours is...
107
00:04:36,833 --> 00:04:39,356
might not be gray scale yet,
so you can do that.
108
00:04:39,381 --> 00:04:41,872
You might go to 'Adjustments'.
There's a few ways in Photoshop...
109
00:04:41,952 --> 00:04:45,437
but 'Adjustments', and this one here
does a good job, click on 'Black & White'.
110
00:04:45,597 --> 00:04:48,391
You can play with these settings
if you want to, or just leave it.
111
00:04:49,211 --> 00:04:50,618
Now to continue on...
112
00:04:50,809 --> 00:04:52,913
you need to make sure that
the background is selected...
113
00:04:52,938 --> 00:04:53,896
and you need to name it.
114
00:04:54,129 --> 00:04:56,716
So double click the word 'Background',
and we're going to call it 'Dan'.
115
00:04:57,093 --> 00:05:00,442
Anything, just call it anything,
it needs to get that little lock effect.
116
00:05:01,026 --> 00:05:02,878
Next thing I want to do is
delete the background...
117
00:05:02,903 --> 00:05:04,917
and I'm going to use
the 'Quick Selection Tool'.
118
00:05:05,506 --> 00:05:06,514
It's really awesome.
119
00:05:06,539 --> 00:05:08,889
What I do is I click, hold, and drag...
120
00:05:08,914 --> 00:05:11,399
and you see, as I drag, it kind
of expands up, and eventually goes...
121
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,155
"Hey, you mean all of this?"
It's pretty clever.
122
00:05:14,453 --> 00:05:17,572
I'm going to drag over here.
I'm just going to drag around the edges.
123
00:05:18,905 --> 00:05:21,615
You see, it's kind of automatically
done it really...
124
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,459
a good enough selection.
125
00:05:24,016 --> 00:05:25,659
I'd love to go into loads of details.
126
00:05:25,684 --> 00:05:28,524
I'm just about to start
a Photoshop course, if you're keen on that.
127
00:05:28,775 --> 00:05:31,093
For the moment, let's just
do some basic stuff.
128
00:05:31,118 --> 00:05:32,039
I'm going to zoom in.
129
00:05:32,064 --> 00:05:33,848
There's a few things I've accidentally got.
130
00:05:33,873 --> 00:05:35,682
It's got my ears pretty good,
the hair pretty good.
131
00:05:35,837 --> 00:05:38,662
It's missed these glasses,
but I'm going to hold down the 'Alt' key.
132
00:05:39,635 --> 00:05:42,288
And watch this, if I click over,
and just drag around here...
133
00:05:42,337 --> 00:05:44,304
eventually it's going to start,
"Do you mean all this?"
134
00:05:44,816 --> 00:05:46,054
Not too worried about my ear.
135
00:05:47,072 --> 00:05:48,744
Again, I'd like to spend
a lot of time on this...
136
00:05:48,769 --> 00:05:49,900
but we're not going to.
137
00:05:50,378 --> 00:05:52,584
So, where else is there any problem?
Just looking.
138
00:05:52,625 --> 00:05:53,733
Down here, in the checkered shirt...
139
00:05:53,758 --> 00:05:55,451
I'm looking for--
it's a little hard to see.
140
00:05:56,109 --> 00:05:57,533
The kind of matching.
141
00:05:57,909 --> 00:06:00,576
I'm going to hold 'Alt',
and just rub across this shirt here.
142
00:06:01,185 --> 00:06:04,812
Don't worry if it's not great.
We're doing it for a stencil, remember.
143
00:06:07,025 --> 00:06:08,499
Down here, grab all this.
144
00:06:09,805 --> 00:06:12,551
If you get too much, say you come along
here and you go too far out...
145
00:06:12,592 --> 00:06:15,130
and you're like, "No, man,"
then let go off all the keys...
146
00:06:15,155 --> 00:06:17,771
and just paint it back in,
and just work your way around.
147
00:06:18,112 --> 00:06:20,241
Checking. Checking basics.
148
00:06:20,538 --> 00:06:21,549
It's a little bit across here...
149
00:06:21,574 --> 00:06:25,675
so I'm holding 'Alt' key on a PC,
or the 'Option' key on a Mac.
150
00:06:27,539 --> 00:06:28,650
That will do.
151
00:06:29,597 --> 00:06:32,034
So what I'd like to do now
is delete the background.
152
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:33,184
I'm just going to hit delete
on my keyboard.
153
00:06:33,224 --> 00:06:35,587
I know, if you're
a Photoshop man, or lady...
154
00:06:35,843 --> 00:06:38,380
it's a bad thing to do, but it's going
to work for what we're going to do.
155
00:06:38,819 --> 00:06:41,057
I'm going to--
now, save this thing.
156
00:06:41,242 --> 00:06:42,298
I'm going to 'Save' it.
157
00:06:42,323 --> 00:06:44,568
It's going to stay as a Photoshop file...
158
00:06:44,593 --> 00:06:48,008
I'm going to put it
in my 'Exercise Files'.
159
00:06:48,185 --> 00:06:51,011
I'm going to leave it in here in case
you want to cheat, and just use this one.
160
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:52,773
It's called 'Daniel Walter Scott 3'.
161
00:06:53,524 --> 00:06:54,516
Ready to go.
162
00:06:54,541 --> 00:06:57,395
And that's it, so we've just kind of
tidied up the background...
163
00:06:57,420 --> 00:06:58,467
and made it black and white.
164
00:06:59,172 --> 00:07:01,433
Let's go into Illustrator now,
bring in that file...
165
00:07:02,016 --> 00:07:03,421
'Daniel Walter Scott 3'.
166
00:07:03,970 --> 00:07:05,216
Drag it out.
167
00:07:08,149 --> 00:07:09,942
Just a part of my head, it's okay.
168
00:07:10,112 --> 00:07:11,318
'Quick Selection', remember...
169
00:07:12,297 --> 00:07:14,464
because Live Trace is going to be
pretty forgiving.
170
00:07:14,489 --> 00:07:16,305
I'm going to go to
'Black and White Logo' now.
171
00:07:16,691 --> 00:07:19,358
This is going to give me
the effect that I was looking for.
172
00:07:19,686 --> 00:07:20,837
I'm going to go to my 'Options'.
173
00:07:21,132 --> 00:07:23,410
And in here, I can play around
with more or less...
174
00:07:23,682 --> 00:07:25,761
kind of, I don't know what to do,
I have no idea.
175
00:07:25,794 --> 00:07:28,642
I'm just going to drag it around now,
and get it to a feeling--
176
00:07:29,235 --> 00:07:30,465
something that I want.
177
00:07:31,650 --> 00:07:32,777
Something that looks like me.
178
00:07:34,749 --> 00:07:37,349
Kind of like it, where there's like
a bit of a pupil going on there.
179
00:07:37,374 --> 00:07:38,251
It's kind of cool.
180
00:07:38,276 --> 00:07:39,895
What I might do is, I like--
181
00:07:40,764 --> 00:07:43,015
I might like two options of
different sides of my face...
182
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,094
because there's a big shadow.
183
00:07:44,119 --> 00:07:46,242
I might copy and paste it,
and kind of combine the two.
184
00:07:46,668 --> 00:07:49,429
But for the moment, I like it.
Remember, when you're finished...
185
00:07:50,218 --> 00:07:51,679
we're going to click 'Expand'.
186
00:07:52,856 --> 00:07:55,157
And now it's kind of broken part.
187
00:07:56,365 --> 00:07:57,259
That might be it.
188
00:07:57,284 --> 00:07:59,255
You might be happy with
this kind of stencil look.
189
00:07:59,593 --> 00:08:01,871
Now if you want to continue on
with that kind of--
190
00:08:02,175 --> 00:08:05,151
I can never pronounce it right,
I have to write it down in front of me.
191
00:08:06,121 --> 00:08:07,676
It's called Anaglyphic.
192
00:08:08,745 --> 00:08:11,674
I probably said that wrong, but it's
that kind of 3D look that's quite popular.
193
00:08:11,707 --> 00:08:13,954
I'm going to show you here
in Google Images.
194
00:08:16,086 --> 00:08:19,205
So this kind of--
it's a way of--
195
00:08:19,898 --> 00:08:22,487
it's been used to design style,
that's why I'm using it...
196
00:08:22,610 --> 00:08:26,913
but it's kind of used for 3D.
Remember these guys, 3D glasses?
197
00:08:28,743 --> 00:08:31,603
This kind of coloring here,
it adds a little bit of 3D effect.
198
00:08:31,628 --> 00:08:35,555
It looks quite cool, just used for Type,
or in this case, the Silhouette.
199
00:08:36,029 --> 00:08:39,086
To make this work, I'm going to
select it with my 'Black Arrow'...
200
00:08:39,485 --> 00:08:41,390
and what I want to do is 'Ungroup' it.
201
00:08:42,246 --> 00:08:44,908
The main thing is this box around
the outside that it comes with.
202
00:08:45,752 --> 00:08:47,943
So I want to select on it, and delete it.
203
00:08:48,858 --> 00:08:50,786
It does nothing except get in the way.
204
00:08:50,977 --> 00:08:53,707
So now it's all individual parts again.
205
00:08:53,862 --> 00:08:56,863
So what I'd like to do is select it,
and group it back together.
206
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:01,904
So I would like to do--
207
00:09:01,929 --> 00:09:04,775
I need three versions, the
black one, and the two colors.
208
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,657
So I'm going to select it, copy it.
209
00:09:07,248 --> 00:09:10,367
And what I'd like to do is,
I'm going to use my 'White Arrow'.
210
00:09:11,379 --> 00:09:14,752
Remember, clicking it, like we
did this one, and say, I'd like to--
211
00:09:15,336 --> 00:09:16,947
what I want to do is
fill it with a color...
212
00:09:16,972 --> 00:09:19,883
but if I select it all, and say,
actually I want to fill you with...
213
00:09:21,484 --> 00:09:24,332
say, Magenta, it kind of does
something a bit weird.
214
00:09:25,917 --> 00:09:28,401
Makes me wear sunglasses,
you might like that.
215
00:09:28,746 --> 00:09:29,862
But what I want to do is...
216
00:09:29,887 --> 00:09:32,118
with the 'White Arrow',
the Direct Selection Tool...
217
00:09:32,304 --> 00:09:36,609
click off, click on one part, and say,
'Select', 'Same', 'Fill Color'.
218
00:09:37,231 --> 00:09:38,676
And then this will work better.
219
00:09:38,701 --> 00:09:41,773
So I'm going to pick Cyan, sorry 'Magenta'.
220
00:09:42,136 --> 00:09:45,084
It's probably meant to be a red,
I'm happy with this Magenta for the moment.
221
00:09:45,124 --> 00:09:46,893
You might go and find the official colors.
222
00:09:47,198 --> 00:09:48,812
Then we're going to paste this back in.
223
00:09:48,837 --> 00:09:51,113
That's why I copied it,
so I can go back to this one.
224
00:09:51,488 --> 00:09:53,718
And I want to move him up here.
225
00:09:53,895 --> 00:09:55,943
I'm going to grab my 'White Arrow',
select him...
226
00:09:56,165 --> 00:09:58,701
'Select', 'Same', 'Fill Color'.
227
00:09:58,901 --> 00:10:00,806
I'll use the red.
228
00:10:01,539 --> 00:10:03,720
That red, no, I'm going up
to the Cyan part.
229
00:10:05,710 --> 00:10:07,004
Then I'm going to paste another one.
230
00:10:07,115 --> 00:10:10,226
And I've got all my three options.
What I might do is select them all...
231
00:10:10,739 --> 00:10:15,335
get them to align,
'center' for both of them.
232
00:10:15,611 --> 00:10:19,175
Then I'm just going to kind of
move them a little bit, side to side.
233
00:10:20,274 --> 00:10:22,433
I'm going to move you that way.
234
00:10:22,690 --> 00:10:25,214
I might grab the blue one,
and move him a little bit that way.
235
00:10:25,804 --> 00:10:29,480
That's the kind of thing I was going for,
and you saw at the beginning there.
236
00:10:29,569 --> 00:10:31,204
Maybe the steps are a little bit big.
237
00:10:31,985 --> 00:10:33,033
I might zoom in there now...
238
00:10:33,058 --> 00:10:34,835
but you can totally finish this video.
239
00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:37,393
I'm just going to--
just that little bit.
240
00:10:39,461 --> 00:10:42,112
I'm trying to make it look cooler.
Same color on my head.
241
00:10:43,433 --> 00:10:45,131
Just showing you pictures of myself.
242
00:10:46,094 --> 00:10:47,673
Might be cooler with that cooler person.
243
00:10:48,836 --> 00:10:51,977
Now this is useful for lots of things,
all sorts of things.
244
00:10:52,002 --> 00:10:53,231
Maybe you've drawn a hand drawing...
245
00:10:53,256 --> 00:10:55,286
you want to turn it into a vector,
that's really good for that.
246
00:10:55,311 --> 00:10:57,176
So just take a photo of it, or scan it.
247
00:10:57,496 --> 00:10:59,425
Then vectorize it, use Live Trace.
248
00:10:59,681 --> 00:11:01,900
Another good thing is,
if you've got a logo...
249
00:11:01,925 --> 00:11:05,385
and you've got some primitive brand
that you're doing work for...
250
00:11:05,418 --> 00:11:07,235
and they've got this really bad logo...
251
00:11:07,531 --> 00:11:12,716
you can print it off, and vectorize it,
and try sharpen it up.
252
00:11:12,741 --> 00:11:16,346
It might be really old pixelated thing
that you want to try tidy up finally.
253
00:11:17,398 --> 00:11:20,207
So, now it is Class Project time.
254
00:11:20,409 --> 00:11:24,855
It's time to use yourself,
or significant other, or your kid.
255
00:11:25,605 --> 00:11:26,725
Anything you like.
256
00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:30,228
I'd like to see if you can make something
in a similar sort of vein to this.
257
00:11:30,253 --> 00:11:31,977
Some sort of stencil looking thing.
258
00:11:32,002 --> 00:11:33,295
You don't have to do the--
259
00:11:33,654 --> 00:11:35,003
Where is it? Write it down.
260
00:11:37,650 --> 00:11:39,593
Okay, you can do any sort
of style you like...
261
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:41,767
but I'd love to see it again.
262
00:11:41,792 --> 00:11:44,650
In the projects or in the comments,
please show me what you did.
263
00:11:44,675 --> 00:11:47,280
I'd like to see it,
I'll come and give you tips...
264
00:11:47,450 --> 00:11:48,902
or just High Fives.
265
00:11:49,310 --> 00:11:53,468
All right, that's it for
Live Trace in Adobe Illustrator.
