in todays adobe illustrator graphic design tutorial I'm gonna show you guys
how to create this really cool logo using the make mesh function in Adobe
Illustrator I'm only gonna show you how to make one logo but you're actually
gonna learn how to make two different logos using the same function in adobe
illustrator
what is that people welcome back to Satori graphics the home of graphic
design content right here on YouTube so today we're going to be making some
waves and warping some lines using them make best function now I'm going to show
you guys how to make these two logos using this function in Illustrator so
follow along and make some neat Lego designs today to kick things off today
in this make mesh logo design tutorial we need to make the set of lines so
press P to grab the pen tool and then click once on the artboard hold down
shift and drag a second anchor point along to the right polygon shift is
going to enable you to keep the line perfectly level press V to select off of
the pen tool path and then increase the stroke weight we will now make a
duplicate by holding down the alt option key and clicking and dragging with the
new line still selected press command or control D to repeat the process over and
over again if your line seemed too close together you can drag the last line down
a touch and then select every single line if you then use this option in the
aligned window you will pull everything at equal distances using the top on the
bottom line as a length also use this option here to align the lines perfectly
vertically you can experiment with different thicknesses of your lines for
your logo design some designs will look great with thin lines and other logos
will look better with thicker lines
now select all of the lines and outline the stroke like so when we're going to
start to use the make mesh function in Illustrator you can locate it here again
experiment with different settings but 3x3 is a good place to start
you notice how the selection is now split up into a grid depending on the
numbers you just typed in so this is going to be the fun part press a for the
direct selection tool and click and drag the points on the grid then some time to
experiment with what kinds of manipulations you can make with the make
mesh function like I said it might take a few attempts of this logo design
tutorial to get your line thicknesses correct depending on your style of Lego
you essentially want to warp and twist the lines to create a funky and cool
design with the make mesh function so once you're happy with the design drag
it off to the side and then press M for the rectangle tool we're going to make a
background for our local design today so draw a rectangle across the entire board
like so then send it at the back and lock it down in place
for my lego I just picked two letters to make up initials I quite liked the
simplicity of at Lego design made up of initials so press T for the type tool
and then type out some letters one that you choose is obviously going to be
crucial for how your logo design ends are preparing and for my Lego in today's
tutorial I've chosen quite a sleek and sophisticated font and if you want to
look for online here is the ID if you press command or control T you can
actually open up this window here which will allow you to edit the kerning and
other aspects of your type once ready you will need to create the outlines of
the type and then create a compound path
if the lego type becomes invisible no worries
simply add a color to again so you can see easily drag the logo type over to
your make mesh line design and resize it until you're happy with the composition
select all aspects of your design and then rights or control click and choose
clipping mask if you don't like the composition press command or control Z
and try it again
with the design like it is now you're not going to be able to add colors or
gradients so go p--'s object and expand once you've expanded
it go it to the Pathfinder window and crop the design
now you will be able to add color ingredients
like I said earlier you might want to experiment with different line
thicknesses performing this little design process multiple different times
until you happy with your design
I feel like a very vibrant gradient works best for this kind of design
so next I'm going to show you how to make the second logo in today's
illustrator logo design tutorial on this design however lastly choose the
gradient tool and to align it with the entire design to add the gradient evenly
across the logo also add some typography to finish the logo off I use the same
font for this logo type as I did for the logo mark itself so for the next logo
I've made a square design using the make mesh function and I've already outlined
the text of the a and the B for the effect on this logo you're going to want
to open up the transparency window which you need to do here on the side where
you can locate it under the window section at the top
the transparency window you can play around with the blend mode settings
seeing what works best for your design overlay is always quite a good choice I
find if you press I on your keyboard you can access the eyedropper tool and you
can then sample the color from the background onto the logo itself when you
now apply different blend modes the outcome will be slightly different and
that is how you design two different logos in Illustrator using the make a
mesh function have fun experimenting with this process and see what kind of
liquor designs you can come up with in Adobe Illustrator
