today we're going to be making our own custom illustrator brushes for logo
designing unless in today's satori graphics tutorial so follow along in
this embark on some logo designing today
what is our people welcome back to Satori graphics the home of graphic
design content right here on YouTube after seeing so many positive comments
on my channel I want to offer up an email address so that anybody can ask or
send me anything they want to so if you have any questions about graphic design
or software such as illustrator or maybe questions about life in general or even
you just want to say hello head over to the email address on the screen right
now I'm super pleased with how this community is growing and this will help
continue any discussion people want to have off of YouTube the first thing we
need to be doing in illustrator is to open up our rulers by hitting command or
control R on your keyboard then click and drag five guides from the left hand
side are going to be equal distances apart
then select all of the guides and hold down the alt/option key to duplicate them to the
side with them still selected groves objects
transform and then rotate them by 90 degrees
we will now make the illustrator brush for the logo designing part of this
tutorial so select a color in the stroke palette and then grab the pen tool look
for the intersect symbol that shows you the point is perfectly on both guides at
one time and then to around to make a shape like mine here you can later
experiment different shapes for your literature brushes they give you very
different local design outcomes on the pencil path you can now turn up the
stroke weight like so making it about the same thickness as mine
make the line perfect for illustrator brushes use of direct selection tool to
drag down the line like I'm doing here
right click the iPod and then hide the guides because we don't need them
anymore the turn our vector path into a better shape fit to illustrator brushes
out on the stroke like so this is where the magic happens with a design selected
go up to brush menu and then in the top right corner make a new brush
for logo designing we're going to be using the pattern brush in today's
tutorial post something like 10 percent spacing as a value and then opt for the
approximate path option now we need to make a circle with the ellipse tool as
only a stroke and then we simply click the new illustrator brush that we just
created
you can hold down both shift and the alt/option key at the same time and then
click and drag to resize the circle proportionally duplicate the design with
the auction key and then resize in place
to perfectly align everything for this logo design use these two options in the
line window
for the most inner part of the design lower its size into there only for
sections of it remaining and then outline the stroke so it's going to
retain the shape no matter what size we scale up or down
you can now go ahead and add circles into your logo design and align
everything perfectly that we did before
for the final part this logo design I've added some text to which the font is
here in case you want to know what it is
thankfully get a line a stroke or your design when everything's finished so did
