Adding Arrows and Using Stroke
5:13This mockup will have an image carousel. Represent the movement from the carousel using arrows and stroke.
Let's add in our social media
icons here at the bottom.
0:01
I'm just gonna select them.
0:04
And by the way, when I select more
than one, it's a shift + click.
0:10
And then I hold down option and
drag out as before.
0:17
And I want these to line up with this and
this and
0:22
this, so I'm gonna pull it over
here to my 50 pixel marker.
0:26
But I do think it's a little
spaced out awkwardly,
0:32
so I'm gonna make them a little more cozy.
0:35
And let's evenly distribute that.
0:41
Horizontal Distribute Center.
0:46
Okay.
0:49
Next what I wanna do is add
a couple arrows here on either
0:50
side to represent that this is a carousel.
0:55
And there is a fun way to do that.
0:59
We're gonna use the Line Segment Tool.
1:01
Try to find the middle of the image.
1:03
And what's nice is the smart guide
actually tells us, like, hey,
1:08
this is the center of the image.
1:11
You're so good, smart guide.
1:12
We just drew a line segment, but
1:14
I realized that we're not gonna see
anything, cuz we have no stroke or fill.
1:16
We wanna have a stroke color, and
1:21
let's use our swatches since
that's what we've been using.
1:25
Let's try a lighter color.
1:31
Okay, and so now with this selected I'm
going to go up here into our control bar,
1:34
and you'll see we have stroke and
it's set to basic right now.
1:39
We're gonna find the arrow library.
1:45
So let's click here, and
then go to Arrows > Arrow Standard.
1:47
It's gonna give us some more options.
1:54
And I'm gonna pick this second
option here, so that will change it.
1:58
It looks like this might be the same color
as our box so we can't see anything.
2:04
Yeah, that is a problem.
2:10
And I'll move it out so
you can see what's going on.
2:15
So this is what we just did.
2:17
Isn't that great?
2:19
We drew with the line segment and
2:20
then changed it to an arrow, so
now we don't have to draw that ourselves.
2:23
Of course,
this one should be on this side.
2:28
So I'll hold down option, drag over.
2:35
I'm going to align these arrows to
the edges here of the 100 pixels padding.
2:41
This one needs to be reflected,
so I'll go to Object >
2:47
Transform > Reflect.
2:51
And we're going to be reflecting
it over the vertical.
2:56
Hit OK.
3:01
Move that over so they sort of match up.
3:06
Great.
3:11
And last but not least, we're gonna add
some more circles here at the bottom
3:13
that are gonna be an indicator
of image selection.
3:19
So there are five images in the carousel,
say.
3:22
One is going to be highlighted
to indicate that there are more.
3:27
So I'm going to draw a tiny circle.
3:32
And right now this circle is just a stroke
cuz that's what we have, so I'm going to.
3:36
You can click and
3:41
drag over to just carry that
same color to your fill.
3:44
I'll have the stroke selected again and
hit none.
3:50
And then I'll go back to my selection
tool by hitting B and click off.
3:55
And you can see that's what we have.
4:02
And then I want to create five of these.
4:06
So I option dragged over and
then I'm going to
4:10
duplicate my previous action,
which is fabulous.
4:14
So, we'll do Cmd + D, and
so it will copy it and
4:19
also move it over exactly the same amount.
4:26
So, we have one, two,
three, four, five, perfect.
4:31
I want it to only look like
one of them is selected, so
4:36
I'm going to make these
a lighter grey color.
4:39
Let's try that.
4:41
No fill.
4:44
So I'm switching this back and forth.
4:47
We wanna just affect the fill.
4:49
And I'll click off.
5:00
Perfect, so now you can see that
the first image is selected,
5:01
but there are multiple images.
5:05
Next, we are going to be adding in type.
