1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,380
In this video, we're going to be importing
our sketch and embedding images.

2
00:00:06,380 --> 00:00:09,470
We're gonna be starting our logo design.

3
00:00:09,470 --> 00:00:14,570
Our logo is going to be for
a fictitious company called Pencil and Co.

4
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:17,100
So let's go ahead and
create a new document.

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,440
File, New.

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,010
And make sure that your
profile is set to Web.

7
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:28,384
I'm going to make my width 1080 and 1920.

8
00:00:28,384 --> 00:00:35,440
It can be anything you want basically, I
mean whatever the dimensions of your icon.

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,280
I just like to have a little bit of space.

10
00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:40,010
Now hit OK.

11
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:42,260
Very good.

12
00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:43,490
So now we're ready to go here.

13
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:47,180
Let's go ahead and save this.

14
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:51,841
Even though it's blank,
save it as Pencil_Logo.

15
00:00:51,841 --> 00:00:53,227
I'll hit Save.

16
00:00:53,227 --> 00:00:54,124
OK.

17
00:00:54,124 --> 00:00:57,830
And now What I want to
do is import my sketch.

18
00:00:58,930 --> 00:01:00,370
And this is a raster graphic.

19
00:01:01,730 --> 00:01:03,260
It's a jpg image.

20
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:05,885
And those are treated a little
bit differently than vector.

21
00:01:05,885 --> 00:01:09,280
Though, you can bring raster
images into Illustrator.

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,680
So we'll go up here.

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,790
File, Place, here it is.

24
00:01:13,790 --> 00:01:17,740
Or, Shift+Cmd+P.

25
00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:20,160
Here is my pencil sketch.

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,250
Place.

27
00:01:22,250 --> 00:01:24,041
Okay.

28
00:01:24,041 --> 00:01:27,563
And actually, I mean,
I could draw over this,

29
00:01:27,563 --> 00:01:32,070
but I'm not going to be using
this directly as my reference.

30
00:01:32,070 --> 00:01:34,180
It's more like just something
I'm gonna be looking at.

31
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:38,750
So, I accidentally double-clicked and

32
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:41,950
went into isolation mode,
I'm just gonna back out, okay.

33
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:46,540
I'm going to drag my image
onto my canvas area,

34
00:01:46,540 --> 00:01:48,590
because it's just going to be a reference.

35
00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:52,610
I'll be drawing here in
the art board area, in vector.

36
00:01:55,530 --> 00:02:00,300
Right now when you import or
place an image, it links that file.

37
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:05,990
So if I were to send this to a client
somewhere else, just this file,

38
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:09,444
they would have a missing
pencilsketch.jpeg.

39
00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:14,440
So what I want to do is embed
this image into the file so

40
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,842
wherever it goes I know that this
raster image will also be inside of it.

41
00:02:18,842 --> 00:02:23,230
The way you do that, go to Window, Links.

42
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:29,540
You can see we have our pencil
sketch here, it's linked.

43
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:31,660
And then you go up and
let me turn this off.

44
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,590
Up here in the top right,
we have a little flyaway menu.

45
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:41,000
Here we want to choose Embed Images.

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,530
And if you had multiple images,
you could select them all at once.

47
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:44,990
Embed.

48
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:46,070
And there you go.

49
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:52,400
And now, when I hit Save,
no matter where I open this,

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,190
this image will be part
of this Illustrator file.

51
00:02:56,190 --> 00:02:58,810
Moving on, we will be drawing the logo.
