Logo and Grouping

File > Open, open up our logo, here it is. 0:01 And the blue background is locked right now, which is great cuz we just need this. 0:10 Before we drag this in, want you to note that 0:15 all of these different layers are not connected to one another. 0:19 And in Illustrator, we can group these items together so 0:23 it's treated as one object. 0:27 I wanna do that to just ensure that nothing is gonna get messed up or changed. 0:29 So I'll select all of the layers I wanna be in the group, 0:34 then I'll go to Object > Group, or it's Cmd+G. 0:38 So now when I click on one part of this pencil, 0:43 it's gonna automatically select all of the layers in the group. 0:46 If I wanted to go inside the group, I could double-click and 0:50 go into isolation mode, and then change things around here. 0:53 I'm gonna go back out. 0:57 So I will select it, copy it, Cmd+C. 0:59 We're gonna go back into our wireframe so I'll go over there. 1:06 I want to paste my logo right here. 1:14 I wanna make sure it's in the right layer so it is. 1:17 Header is selected, Cmd+V to paste. 1:21 I'll scale it down. 1:27 I'm holding down Shift so it constrains proportions here, which is important. 1:29 I'm gonna delete this, I no longer need that. 1:36 I wanna also zoom in a little bit. 1:40 I can grab my magnifying glass here and then just come in just like that. 1:42 Go back to my selection tool, V. 1:51 And I wanna line up the top and 1:56 the bottom of my pencil to the height of the header. 1:59 Cuz later on when it's a website, this can scale as well which is great, 2:07 cuz it will be an SVG file. 2:12 So I just wanna make sure that's lined up nicely. 2:16 And I also wanna center it. 2:20 So I can select my pencil and the header. 2:22 Click the header one more time to make that my target. 2:26 Go up to my Align tools, and 2:30 we want to Horizontal Align Center. 2:34 Great. 2:40 I mean you can see just changing the colors and 2:44 adding the logo is already making a really huge difference. 2:46
