1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,090
Now it is time to draw our logo.

2
00:00:03,090 --> 00:00:08,080
In this video we will be recreating and
building our logo using vector shapes.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,620
I will use a combination
of tools including shapes,

4
00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:16,990
shape builder, pencil and
the alignment controls to put it together.

5
00:00:18,130 --> 00:00:22,310
I'm going to be going for a flat,
simple, geometric design style.

6
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:28,240
And first, what I like to do is just
kind of take a look at the drawing, and

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,100
analyze it a little bit.

8
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:34,410
We're going to be using simple
shapes to recreate this image.

9
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:41,220
So, like, a rectangle, another rectangle,
another rectangle for the metal band.

10
00:00:42,230 --> 00:00:44,510
A rounded shape for our eraser.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,470
This is a triangle, a smaller triangle.

12
00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:55,936
You can see that we're really just
dissecting it into simpler shapes.

13
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:03,506
For colors, we can open up, over here,

14
00:01:03,506 --> 00:01:07,230
if you go to Window >Swatches.

15
00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:10,630
You can create a group of colors to use.

16
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:13,380
You can just use your color picker,
of course, by double clicking.

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,490
If I uncheck this,
you'll have more options.

18
00:01:17,490 --> 00:01:18,820
You can use your color picker.

19
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:24,160
You can also use your
color pickers over here.

20
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,210
There's a color guide,
if you're interested in exploring that.

21
00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:33,050
We do have creative cloud, they also have
color themes that you can explore as well.

22
00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:38,130
If you're building a swatch library,
first you

23
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:44,330
want to create a new color group,
we'll call this logo or whatever you like.

24
00:01:44,330 --> 00:01:48,170
And as you are working if you found
things you liked you can click and

25
00:01:48,170 --> 00:01:50,210
drag them into your folder.

26
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,060
So if I'm like, oh yes this is the one.

27
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:54,630
I got it.

28
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,590
So this is how you can build a color
group to use while you are working and

29
00:02:00,590 --> 00:02:04,090
you can open this in
other documents later on.

30
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:08,640
And so this is helpful for us because when
we're putting together our page mock-up,

31
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,270
we will be using a lot of the same colors.

32
00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:13,750
I'm gonna delete this for now.

33
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:18,070
I have created a color group
already that I wanna work with.

34
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:22,780
The first step to creating
this is drawing a rectangle.

35
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:26,980
That's going to be the body
of our very tiny pencil.

36
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:30,170
I'm going to make it this
lighter yellow color.

37
00:02:36,134 --> 00:02:41,450
And now I'm going to option,
click, and drag down.

38
00:02:41,450 --> 00:02:45,830
Choose my darker color, and scale this up.

39
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,100
And you can see this creates a nice
subtle definition of the pencil.

40
00:02:56,050 --> 00:03:00,890
Next, using our pencil, our P,
we're gonna create the tip of the pencil.

41
00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:06,960
Gonna hold down shift so that I'll
constrain my proportions to 45 degrees.

42
00:03:08,930 --> 00:03:10,240
Back up.

43
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,558
I want this to be a nice sandy color,
more like wood.

44
00:03:13,558 --> 00:03:15,185
Okay.

45
00:03:15,185 --> 00:03:18,440
Click off.

46
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,910
And it looks like we,
this wasn't perfect, so no big deal.

47
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:23,450
We'll zoom in.

48
00:03:23,450 --> 00:03:27,640
And I'm gonna use my
Direct Selection Tool, A.

49
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:31,470
Now I'm going to drag it
until it intersects here.

50
00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:33,090
Perfect.

51
00:03:36,970 --> 00:03:38,420
So now you can see where
we're going with this.

52
00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:44,500
For the next part we're going
to create the graphite tip.

53
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:45,520
The pencil tip here.
