today I'll be showing you tips for
setting up adobe illustrator for
designing specifically logo designing
stationed
welcome back to another graphic design
tips video its Tom here I upload every
Tuesday says the and sunday speed of
videos and tutorials so subscribe to
stay updated today i will first show you
my very own logo design process in
Illustrator from sketch pad to digital
designs and then the final design
solution from there will be looking at
how to create a new document illustrator
perfect for logo designing and also
what type of artboards to use
after that there will be a quick pit on
how to edit the outboard and then look
at what settings and preferences we can
adjust administrator to help though
you're designing hopefully by the end of
the graph advantage video you in a few
more tricks to help you with logo
designing illustrate that before we got
however I quickly want to remind you
guys to show me some love and if you
find this video helpful here download
button and let me know in the comment
section below if you really find helpful
then maybe share with someone who may
benefit from it too
let's kick this video off with a logo
design process I've made videos in the
past and how important and crucial the
design process is when designing a logo
i think is crucial to first get down
ideas on paper and this is what i do is
you see here i'll make these sketches
based on the brief offered by the client
and additional questions I ask them
it brings do not need to be pretty of
course they just a quick way to get your
thoughts from your mind to something
physical
from there I started to compile my pre
design ideas in Adobe Illustrator like
to make a vertical outboard and refined
and developed the designs are going down
to convert this is just my method of
course i will show you another common
method later i often use my wacom tablet
at this stage in this example here use
it to create the shape of the body of
the angel i will then present several
pre-design ideas to my client and we
will discuss them together using the
feedback i will refine over and over in
Illustrator reaching for the logo design
development
eventually we will have met the final
logo design solution is located it's
only process is in my opinion very
fundamental to getting irrelevant
and original logo design and it should
never be able owed
now we will look at the type of document
you able to create administrator for
later designing head up the file on you
the site is not really matter at this
point because the document will be used
just for developing ideas the final
design should have its own separate
Congress illustrates the unit vectors it
doesn't matter too much about the size
at this point in the events section i
keep it sets DMI k and also make sure
you have 300 ppi selected
as useful just a moment ago this is a
type of art board but I used for later
developing if you haven't got any really
showing and hit command hard to bring
them up when i'll show you get another
very common way to develop logo designs
it is just personal preference I prefer
the first way that I showed you
anyway I've seen designers openserver
elbows at once so again going up to file
and new become for example create a
square canvas and then here we obviously
have five of them you can adjust how
position our words here i will choose in
a row
so you can see how you would start with
one design on the left here and then how
do you develop the local idea you have a
new design on each campus as i mentioned
it's just a personal preference and it's
up to you how you work for local designs
i'm going to quickly show you how to
refight the canvas after you have
generated it maybe you have too much
you're not even enough negative space at
the bottom added to the document set up
at the top here and hit our words
you are bored would then be selected
like this and you can go in and change
the dimensions of the uneven the
positioning
finally we're going to look at a few
nifty into adjustment that we can make
to have our life a lot easier than local
designing interest rate that firstly
have you ever notice when you use the
pen tool that it will not select where
you wanted to maybe almost magically
snaps to a different place when you
report your anchor is because of your
settings if I make a line you can see
these magenta guides bringing up
everywhere if you look closely it's
preventing me from being able to put a
point anywhere I want you my settings
are so that literally snaps to be in
line with other points have already made
you can change this though go to
preferences and then smart guys here
have mine snapping tolerance way too
high for what i want to do so let's
bring it down to one and see what that
does
it's just not into points but I've had a
lot more room of choice now if you want
to take away to stop in action potential
you can do that to get back to the smart
guys menu and change it to 0 now you see
there are no gentleman school and the
packages snapping anything
the very last things that you may want
to change or later designing that i will
show you how to change the unit values
you can select Preferences here but if
you cannot find the tab headed to
illustrate in the corner and then go to
preferences and units
here you can change the units for the
related to for example has changed mine
from Texas millimeters
alternatively you can right-click the
root of themselves and change here
so they have been several tips and
points you might want to consider when
designing a leg and illustrate that I
hope this has been helpful if it has and
leave a like and a comment on your way
out and share it to your friends
so until next time the near future today
