Drawing Shapes

[MUSIC] 0:00 Below the top bar that we created previously, we're going to add four boxes 0:04 that will contain photos, labels, and prices for each trip that users can book. 0:09 But we want to do this by only creating the first box and then repeating it. 0:14 With the rectangle tool still selected, hover your mouse 0:21 cursor toward the middle of the art board and down a bit from the top. 0:26 You should see a smart guide appear that shows you the center of the art board. 0:32 Start to click and drag a box, but don't release your mouse cursor just yet. 0:39 While holding down the mouse button, 0:46 also hold down the Alt key on Windows, or the Option key on Mac. 0:50 This will constrain the rectangle so that it's centered on 0:56 the origin of your click rather than drawing it from the corner. 1:00 Now we're just going to leave the fill and 1:04 border on this for now because we'll adjust those settings later. 1:07 But let's draw out this box, maybe just like that. 1:12 Back in the left side toolbar, choose the selection tool at the top. 1:18 Using this tool, we can make adjustments to objects that are already created. 1:23 If you don't like the position of your box, 1:29 you can click and drag to reposition it. 1:32 And if you don't like the dimensions of it, you can click and 1:36 drag along the edges to resize it. 1:41 The smart guides can help you center things like this but 1:43 let's say you move something and it got a little bit off center like this. 1:49 We could just move it back and use the smart guides, but 1:56 with the rectangle still selected, 2:00 we can also use the alignment tools in the upper right corner. 2:03 On each of these icons, the bars and lines illustrate how 2:07 multiple elements might be aligned with one another. 2:12 To get this back to center, click the button that's third from 2:17 the right with the line going down the middle. 2:22 This will horizontally align any selected elements. 2:26 Finally, I'm going to add a little profile circle in the upper right corner. 2:30 We'll add the actual photo later, but for now, 2:37 let's just draw a circle as a placeholder for the profile image. 2:40 Select the ellipse tool on the left side tool bar. 2:45 And then in the upper right corner, start to click and 2:49 drag from the center where you want the circle to appear. 2:54 Without releasing the mouse button, hold down the Alt key on Windows, 2:58 and the Option key on Mac, to draw from the center. 3:03 This will place the origin of the circle in the middle, and 3:07 constrain the proportions. 3:11 But there's still a problem, 3:13 how do we know if a circle is perfectly circular and not an oval shape? 3:15 In addition to the Alt or Options key, you can also hold down 3:20 the shift key to make it a perfect 1:1 aspect ratio, so it's a circle. 3:25 So I'm just gonna make this a little smaller than the toolbar like that and 3:32 then release the mouse button. 3:36 And then if you need to, you can move it around with the selection tool. 3:38 Remember to save your work when you're done by hitting Ctrl+S on Windows or 3:44 Cmd+S on Mac. 3:50 This is a good start, next we'll add images, text and 3:51 adjust the shape properties. 3:55
