today's graphic design video is based around logo designvaluable tricks and
I'm gonna show you right now what is that people welcome back to Satori
graphics the home of graphic design content right here on YouTube today I've
got a list of valuable tricks that you're gonna find very useful when
designing a logo in Adobe Illustrator but before that I quickly want to remind
you all that I've got my t-shirts monitory graphics on there so go ahead
and check out the two designs I've got up there now and grab one for yourself
if you want to help out the channel now let's jump right into these local design
valuable tricks that you can learn today
the first valuable logo design trick releases Tuaregs on your logo if we have
strokes are left with stroke widths you can cause issues later when the logo is
rescaled by somebody else as you can see I have a hefty stroke on
my logo here first go to object and then expand appearance then go back to object
and expand and use the same settings I'm using here as you can see the stroke is
now outlined as a vector shape to finish the trick tip for our logo design with
strokes open the Pathfinder window and merge everything together like so it's
advisable to have two versions of your logo which leads me onto the next point
in today's video
here I have two versions of my logo they look the same but we can't add some
minor changes to one of them the logo on the left is set up so I can still edit
the typography and the strokes if I ever want to LA today however the logo on the
right can be edited so the stroke is vectorized as we did previously but also
we can outline the typography as well we want to outline the typography so when
the logo is shared to a different computer
there will be no issues and recognizing the font so we save you later designing
two versions one you able to edit and the other version print ready
the next logo design trick in adobe illustrator is to use the eyeball tool
this is a great tool for later designing as you can hold down the option key and
to placate your board and your design
you can then make changes to logo and refine it and then repeat the process
over and over as your logo design develops also you can edit the name of
each individual artboard whilst using the artboard tool as well as move the
eye water on your screen
the fourth valuable Lego design trick is great for saving liquor designs for the
web you may have several designs on several boards but with the asset tool
you can save them all at once as different designs simply open up the
hace export window and then drag and drop your designs into the window but
first check out the different options that you have such as saving for
pinching jpg I'd also presets iOS and Android
once you've dropped your designs in hold down shift and select multiple designs
at once and then click export when ready
the default location P logo design files should be Creative Cloud
and as you can see all the liquor designs here has saved a separate
designs which saves a whole lot of time I love this little eccentric as I often
use it myself
the last valuable little eccentric I have for you today is to simplify your
logo if you look closely you logo may have a huge amount of anchor points less
is always better in this situation as long as the shape of the logo remains
true say gulps object path and simplify
can then click preview and adjust the amount of anchor points on your logo
design remember that you want a happy medium between the amount of points on
the logo as well as keeping the shape true so did you find this tutorial on
