today I'm gonna show you guys some tools that are in adobe illustrator or if they
were extremely underrated and while they're actually useful for your graphic
design workflow so stay tuned and it's dive right in today's video on
underrated tools in Adobe Illustrator
today's video is going to be me showing you a group of tools in Adobe
Illustrator that are rarely spoken about and are underrated
you're going to see that they can actually save you a lot of time when
designing digital arts or on projects such as the Flyers brochures and the
designs you'll find this group located in the tool menu here and they all book
together in unison I'm gonna show you how that works right now you have to
open up the symbol window first and foremost and with an aspect of your
design selected click the new symbol in the top right corner we're going to want
to make a static symbol now that you've made a new symbol we can have some fun
with there and you'll see just how useful these tools actually I firstly we
can take the sprayer tool and click one of the time to generate a symbol or we
can click and hold down and spray a symbol around the outboards this
collection of tools will help you create unique and interesting vector
backgrounds very quickly with these now that we have a selection of symbols
generated you might notice they're all identical which doesn't look too good so
you might want to use a simple shuffle tool here to shuffle and make the design
less orderly next we're going to use a simple size tool which if you hold down
and click over a symbol it's going to be the large Ed's
if you then hold down the alt option key and click again you make that symbol
smaller the idea here is to make your design unique between each individual
symbol using all of these tools I'm going to show you today
you kind of course go back any time and use a symbol sprayer tool and I'd get
more symbols to your design you notice that if you had a symbol near a larger
design aspect a large simple is going to be created and the same applies for
smaller symbols to make the design yet more unique and interesting we can take
the symbol spinner tool and go around the design twisting and turning each
symbol one by one if you're finding today tutorial useful let me know in the
comment section below so I'm going to add one final unique touch to our design
we can use a simple tint tool here this is going to allow you to change the
actual shade of a symbol by clicking once for a darker shade then you can
click again and again and again to make it darker still if you then hold down
the alt option key and click again you're gonna make that symbol lighter
away from the dark shades so like I said you want to make your design look at
random and as natural as possible the last thing I have to say in today's
tutorial is that you might notice your group of symbol is boxed into one object
if you open up the symbol window and then click this button here
can any group everything and now you allowed to actually move an individual
symbol around normally as you would in the illustrator
