looking over the entries and it's really cool to see all of the different styles
and ideas that you guys have for using techniques in the administrator I think
it about one or two weeks I'm gonna launch my big giveaway celebrating the
25,000 subscriber mark on this channel it's a great way for me to say thank you
to you guys for constantly tuning in liking commenting and share my content
here is throw graphics I'm gonna link this website in description below but it
shows you all the screen dimensions in pixels for their smartphone models this
will help you decide what size to make your document to design a smartphone
wallpaper using your logo
I'm going to use the iPhone X as today's example so in Illustrator create a new
document then select web we want the PPI to be 72 I'm going to use pixels as a
measurement make sure it's in poetry and then type in the correct dimensions for
your smart phone model using a gradient fill press M to access the rectangle
tool and then create a shape over the entire canvas being very careful to make
sure it touches the edges of your smart phone wallpaper
the gradient becomes use in today's tutorial needs to be a radio instead of
linear gradient and then you need to set both sides of the slider to this very
dark blue here then you can adjust one side to be slightly darker in the RGB
settings when I was designing this gradient there was no banding on my
screen after recording the software is caused the gradient to band a beer
however I'm sure when I'm save it and then send it to my phone there's gonna
be no banding on the gradient just make sure your design has a smooth gradient
across the entire campus so once you finish the gradient lock it down a place
or doesn't move around for the remainder of this tutorial and how to make a smart
phone wallpaper using your logo speaking of logo designs you have a
different logo if you logo has color then you can choose to keep in full
color though grayscale is gonna work a lot better for this design so with the
legatus end selected go ups edits edit colors and then choose grayscale once
you've done that you can then go in and change the hue of grey and your design
so it can be as bright as possible you want it to pop off the background of the
wallpaper for your smartphone Mallika is white however so I don't need to adjust
the color settings place you like on top of the smartpen wallpaper and then
adjust it to your liking we're now gonna add an outer glow so go to effects tile
eyes and outer glow
you have to play around these settings here but we want to give a very subtle
outer glow fades not something that's too overpowering at this stage I'll use
soft light of the blend mode a light blue color 95% of pasty an 80% blue with
a white stroke selected press P to locate the pencil and then carefully
hold down shift to draw a line and right across the wallpaper from left to right
you can then increase the stroke away and I'd like to use a different stroke
style if you're going to make this line looks super need for a smart phone
wallpaper design so we're going to add an outer glow
this time the blend may needs to be normal so it has more presence on your
design we need to change the blend mode of the entire line which we can do the
transparency window you can locate this in the toolbar you can go up to the
window panel change the blend mode to overlay then hold down the option key to
duplicate the line like so you can then simply press command or control D over
and over again to duplicate the line downwards finally to make sure your
lines are aligned perfectly select them all and then align them in the line
window then all you need to do is to move them centrally onto your smart
phone wallpaper design
we're now going to hire the artistic finishing touches of our design firstly
you can select each line and increase or decrease the stroke weight this will
cause the lines to be more or less common on your design you can also press
shift W to locate the winds tool and then you can increase or decrease the
stroke weight anywhere along the line like so I want you all to experiment and
play with these techniques to design your smartphone wallpaper so have fun
and get creative with it oh you can also copy a line the ctrl or command C and
then you can press command or control F to paste it exactly in place this will
create a brighter line as it's now going to be two lines on top of each other so
yeah get creative and design your smart phone wallpaper until your field is
finished
so once it's ready you're gonna need to save it for your smartphone so go to a
file and then use the export and save for web option I feel that PNG would be
best but you can also use JPEG as a fire format make sure not to check the
transparency background option and then click Save
you can now move this over to your phone and set it to your wallpaper and if you
want to take a screenshot of your wallpaper and then upload it to Twitter
Instagram and then you can tag the toy graphics I'd love to see your designs

neat wallpaper you need to illustrator for your phone
