your graphing as I work I'm gonna walk you through with detail on how to use
brushes or vector brushes in today's tutorial backticks graphical design
tutorial
what is our people welcome back to tutor graphics home of graphic design content
right here on YouTube so today three cool ways on how you can use vectors or
vector brushes for your graphic design work
so let's waste no more time and let's jump right into today's video on how to
use vector brushes or vectors then your graphic design work the first way to use
illustrator vector brushes is going to be a very neat way to add to a design
such as this this back to brush technique is also good for specific logo
designs and say much more you need to open up the brush window here you can
simply press f5 on your keyboard you will see a collection of brushes here
which we can add to but also you can drag and drop the brush into the
trashcan in the bottom right corner to delete them forever to brush today we're
going to create a perfect square with the rectangle tool by holding down shift
you don't need to lock the square down in place as we're going to use as a
guide press P to locate the pencil and then throw along the guide all the way
around the square but not fully and then come in a little bit into the middle
somewhat like so select off of the pencil path with V then track the shape
away and unlock everything you can now delete the square because we don't need
any more increase this trick away and then with your extension tool you can
drag the line at the top and the middle across a little bit
we're gonna make a patent border with this design by using vector brushes in
Illustrator so make sure you have a decent size and stroke weight for your
design with the shape selected go to the brush window and in the top right corner
click new brush and then we need to use pattern brush
you're going to be met with a whole host of options but today we're going to use
the stretch to fear and also the tens option you can rename your brush to
something irrelevant and then click OK
you can then double-click your brush in the window to adjust there any stage so
for example I made a type L on this brush name which I can change quickly so
in what way can we use this vector brush to make a border in this design we
simply need to take the rectangle tool and make a rectangle across the entire
canvas
with it I related simply click your brush and the pattern will be placed on
the border
I've chosen the wrong setting I want to use tints only so I can adjust the
colors I want to we can then adjust the position of the size and the stroke of
the water I think this is a great way to use illustrator vector brushes that
looks really neat this next way to use illustrator vector brushes relates to
typography I've got some vector paint splatters
here that you can find them at digital download section or website which is a
link below but you can also use any vectors for this technique copy the
vector with command or ctrl C and then copy it over to the artboard and paste
it in with command or control V so again open up the brush when you're pressing
f5 on your keyboard and then go ahead and add a new brush for this time we
want to use an artistic brush
for this way to use better brushes we'll be using the stretch to fit length as
before use the tins option and then here okay with a brush tool you can draw on
your vector will fit along the path but also you can draw a line with the pen
tool and click the brush in the window you can resize your point for a stroke
and edit the color and when you don't go ahead outline the stroke
if you then go to object compound path and make you'll be able to perform the
next step in this tutorial you can select both the topography and the
brushstroke and then right or ctrl click and make clipping mask
press command or control Z to undo it and edit the stroke the try a different
layout you can also add a clipping mask we're going up to object at the top you
can also take multiple vector brushes or brush strokes and then unite them in the
Pathfinder window and use this to overlay typography you can have so much
fun with this and spend more time than I'm doing in this tutorial to make some
really cool outcomes with this way to use illustrator vector brushes
the last way to use illustrator vector brushes might be my favorite and it
relates to logo design so here have a collection of different vector splatters
that I've created and as I said before you can download them for yourself on
the website but you can do this with any single vector you want to make this work
you need to make sure that your logo is united to the Pathfinder window as one
object also you need to create a compound path on the logo as we
previously did of the typography section
lastly bring the logo to the front all layers and make sure it is actually the
most forward layer on your board
then as we did before I select everything I create Lipper masks this
could produce some really cool outcomes
you can select everything and hold down shift and click the logo to deselect it
and then you can rotate edit the vectors
this is a very quick logo that I've made here but you can spend time to see what
kind of designs you can come up with using vector brushes in Illustrator
and then finally to add some logo type to design again this is something you
want has been a long time doing because it is important to get right
I'm just mocking something up in a hurry for the purposes of today's tutorial on
ways to use illustrator better brushes
and they have it a logo design using vector brushes and it does look pretty
neat if you ask me so there was today's video on how to use vectors or vector
