00:00:01,366 --> 00:00:04,525
Hi there, in this tutorial we're going to
make these pretty things.
2
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:08,439
We're going to step, repeat,
make some symmetry, add some colors.
3
00:00:08,753 --> 00:00:10,674
They're pretty easy, they look really nice.
4
00:00:10,733 --> 00:00:13,566
Let's learn how to do them now
in Adobe Illustrator.
5
00:00:14,585 --> 00:00:16,783
I'm starting with just a blank page.
6
00:00:16,817 --> 00:00:18,111
There's nothing special about it.
7
00:00:18,328 --> 00:00:19,804
We're going to start with the shape.
8
00:00:19,829 --> 00:00:23,313
Now, I'm going to use this Star Tool,
it's hiding underneath the Rectangle Tool.
9
00:00:23,467 --> 00:00:25,665
You can use any shape, totally any shape.
10
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:28,422
This gives you just different effects.
11
00:00:28,631 --> 00:00:30,454
Now I'm not even going to
change this Star Tool.
12
00:00:30,479 --> 00:00:32,226
I'm just going to use
whatever the default is.
13
00:00:32,435 --> 00:00:35,562
So with the 'Star Tool' selected,
I need to--
14
00:00:36,432 --> 00:00:40,109
It kind of defaults to white,
so I'm going to start with what you've got.
15
00:00:40,453 --> 00:00:42,374
My first star needs to be quite big.
16
00:00:42,891 --> 00:00:43,971
I've zoomed out a little bit.
17
00:00:44,243 --> 00:00:46,362
I want it to kind of cover
the whole page...
18
00:00:46,387 --> 00:00:49,014
because I'm going to crop it at the end,
kind of tidy it up.
19
00:00:49,462 --> 00:00:50,978
So a nice big star.
20
00:00:51,235 --> 00:00:54,290
With the Stroke, I'd like to
change it to 'None'...
21
00:00:54,571 --> 00:00:56,476
and with the Fill, we need a 'gradient'.
22
00:00:56,508 --> 00:00:57,991
We need a Radial gradient.
23
00:00:58,242 --> 00:01:01,075
There's no Radial gradient default...
24
00:01:01,158 --> 00:01:03,824
but there is a Linear gradient.
We'll start with that one...
25
00:01:04,113 --> 00:01:05,930
then we can click on 'Gradient Options'.
26
00:01:06,005 --> 00:01:07,290
If you can't see Gradient Options...
27
00:01:07,315 --> 00:01:10,708
just go up to 'Window Menu'
along the top there.
28
00:01:10,733 --> 00:01:12,327
You'll find Gradient there.
29
00:01:12,655 --> 00:01:13,639
Same, same.
30
00:01:13,847 --> 00:01:16,688
Now in here, I'd like to
change Linear to 'Radial'.
31
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,535
The way I did mine,
I started dark in the middle...
32
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,860
and light around the outside.
33
00:01:22,037 --> 00:01:24,021
It doesn't matter which way you use.
34
00:01:25,145 --> 00:01:26,954
If you want to copy my version--
35
00:01:27,113 --> 00:01:28,740
So the inside, which is currently white...
36
00:01:28,765 --> 00:01:30,700
I'd like it to get
the darker of the colors.
37
00:01:31,223 --> 00:01:34,289
I'm using RGB, I'm going to
go down here, and pick...
38
00:01:34,337 --> 00:01:37,071
kind of a, quite a dark green
in the inside...
39
00:01:37,103 --> 00:01:39,460
and the outside, I'm going to pick
something a bit lighter.
40
00:01:41,155 --> 00:01:42,980
I'll pick some of the same kind of Hue.
41
00:01:44,476 --> 00:01:45,683
It's been ages.
42
00:01:45,708 --> 00:01:47,770
Come on Dan, pick a color,
people are waiting.
43
00:01:48,273 --> 00:01:49,361
That will do.
44
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:51,701
Not my favorite, but you get the idea.
45
00:01:51,831 --> 00:01:54,943
So, I've got my colors, I'm going to
close down my 'Gradient Panel'.
46
00:01:55,265 --> 00:01:58,027
Now, there's two steps to this magic.
47
00:01:58,665 --> 00:02:01,292
First of all, with it selected,
with my 'Black Arrow'...
48
00:02:01,461 --> 00:02:04,017
go up to 'Object', 'Transform'...
49
00:02:04,042 --> 00:02:07,115
and there's this one here that says,
'Transform Each'.
50
00:02:07,807 --> 00:02:08,834
Click on this.
51
00:02:09,511 --> 00:02:11,558
Now by default, yours is--
52
00:02:11,583 --> 00:02:13,193
Mine's defaulting to what I last did.
53
00:02:13,218 --> 00:02:14,815
I'm going to put in all the 0s back.
54
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,539
Yours is going to look like this, probably.
55
00:02:17,042 --> 00:02:20,550
And what I'd like to do is make it
a little bit smaller, and rotate it.
56
00:02:20,727 --> 00:02:21,949
All at the same go.
57
00:02:22,048 --> 00:02:23,635
I could do this separately...
58
00:02:23,660 --> 00:02:25,407
but it makes this trick not work.
59
00:02:25,504 --> 00:02:26,750
You'll see in the next step.
60
00:02:26,936 --> 00:02:28,650
So I would like to make it
slightly smaller.
61
00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:31,096
It doesn't have to, you donât have
to follow me, I just picked 90.
62
00:02:31,686 --> 00:02:33,511
In terms of the angle, it rotates around.
63
00:02:33,536 --> 00:02:36,440
It doesn't really matter again.
Just pick anything.
64
00:02:37,467 --> 00:02:39,720
Everyone give it different effects,
you can copy me if you like.
65
00:02:40,255 --> 00:02:43,210
Now the trick here is to make sure
you click on the 'Copy' button.
66
00:02:43,242 --> 00:02:46,956
So if I click 'OK', it's transformed this,
made it small, and rotated it.
67
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,548
What I'd like to do at the same time,
is do that, but make a copy.
68
00:02:50,631 --> 00:02:51,964
Watch what happens,
when I click 'Copy'...
69
00:02:52,403 --> 00:02:53,895
the original one's still there...
70
00:02:53,927 --> 00:02:56,017
but there's another version
that's slightly smaller...
71
00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:57,315
and slightly more rotated.
72
00:02:59,037 --> 00:03:00,199
That's the getting started bit.
73
00:03:00,341 --> 00:03:02,935
Now we need to repeat that
over and over again.
74
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,004
We could go back to Transform Each,
but there's a better option.
75
00:03:06,298 --> 00:03:07,941
If we go to 'Object'...
76
00:03:08,586 --> 00:03:10,462
actually, have this one selected,
go to 'Object'.
77
00:03:10,851 --> 00:03:13,696
There's 'Transform', and there's one
called 'Transform Again'.
78
00:03:13,728 --> 00:03:16,628
What it's going to do, is it's going
to remember the last thing we did...
79
00:03:16,653 --> 00:03:17,708
whatever it was.
80
00:03:17,733 --> 00:03:20,264
In our case, it was smaller, and rotated.
81
00:03:20,585 --> 00:03:21,664
So I'm going to click it.
82
00:03:22,641 --> 00:03:25,650
Did it again, 'Object', 'Transform',
'Transform Again'.
83
00:03:26,004 --> 00:03:27,202
You can keep doing that.
84
00:03:27,227 --> 00:03:28,385
Now, we go and--
85
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:31,782
we'll go insane if we have to keep
going down to the drop down menu.
86
00:03:31,807 --> 00:03:35,152
You can see here, on my Mac,
it's 'Command D'...
87
00:03:35,177 --> 00:03:36,883
or 'Control D', on a PC.
88
00:03:37,053 --> 00:03:41,863
So I'm going to go 'Command D',
and just keep smashing away at that button.
89
00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:43,631
It's cool, huh!
I love it!
90
00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:44,881
Every time I do that...
91
00:03:45,656 --> 00:03:48,263
I teach this quite a bit,
and it's just hard.
92
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:52,954
Every time I say something special
about this repeating flowery pattern.
93
00:03:53,365 --> 00:03:56,873
Now, yours will look slightly different,
because you might use a different star.
94
00:03:57,542 --> 00:04:00,450
You might start with different colors.
95
00:04:01,627 --> 00:04:03,175
So what I'd like to do now is...
96
00:04:03,207 --> 00:04:06,947
I'd like you to open another document,
and start with a different shape.
97
00:04:08,276 --> 00:04:12,676
It could be a triangle, it could
be some sort of liquefied thing...
98
00:04:12,701 --> 00:04:14,679
or something you've drawn and spun around.
99
00:04:14,704 --> 00:04:17,204
I'd love to see it.
It's a Class Project.
100
00:04:17,347 --> 00:04:20,843
I'd like to see it in the comments,
I'd like to see it in the project part.
101
00:04:22,697 --> 00:04:24,363
A couple of things that I might do.
102
00:04:24,388 --> 00:04:26,768
Actually, when you're doing it,
say you start with a star...
103
00:04:27,448 --> 00:04:30,288
it might be that you do this to it,
this is quite cool.
104
00:04:30,791 --> 00:04:33,567
'White Arrow', remember,
we've got all these points...
105
00:04:33,592 --> 00:04:35,105
I might drag one of these in.
106
00:04:35,336 --> 00:04:38,106
You can start with kind of
a squidgy star before.
107
00:04:38,593 --> 00:04:40,085
It's technical squidgy star.
108
00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:44,080
One thing we might do,
I might stick it up here...
109
00:04:44,355 --> 00:04:47,500
because I'm going to crop it.
I'm going to grab the 'Rectangle Tool'.
110
00:04:47,706 --> 00:04:51,182
I'm going to draw a rectangle
that kind of snaps to the edges.
111
00:04:51,942 --> 00:04:54,569
Doesn't matter if it's got a gradient
in it, I'm going to select it all.
112
00:04:54,715 --> 00:04:57,485
Remember, over here,
I'm going to go to 'Make Clipping Mask'.
113
00:04:57,510 --> 00:05:01,480
Just kind of tidies it up into some
sort of abstract background now.
114
00:05:02,578 --> 00:05:05,804
That is it for binning things around...
115
00:05:05,829 --> 00:05:08,781
and making abstract awesomeness.
116
00:05:09,032 --> 00:05:11,151
All right, let's get into the next video.
