today I have seven tricks or tips for using a day really straighter win logo
designing so follow along and learn these seven tips they're gonna help you
when you're designing logos in Adobe Illustrator what is that people welcome
back to tutorial graphics the home of graphic design content right here on
YouTube let's waste no more time and let's drove right into today's tutorial
on seven tips or tricks when designing a logo in Adobe Illustrator the first logo
design table illustrator is about being organized an organized designer it's an
efficient designer and this tip will help you out for sure when designing a
logo in illustrator with many objects components you might want to take a look
at the layers window if you assign a relevant name to each object as you
design your logo you'll be able to select specific areas with ease to edit
the name of a layer simply double-click here and then go in and enter a name in
this instance I'm changing a type of I've made so yeah you can click each
layer to highlight it allocate specific object quickly
you can see how this trick will be useful for your logo design projects
there are also a few settings here such as flattening in the artwork and so
forth
one absolutely huge trick or tip for Logo designing illustrator is to
familiarize yourself with the keyboard shortcuts now you can look on Google for
a list of shortcuts we can search YouTube for tutorials such as mine but I
will name a few of the main ones you want to keep in mind for local designing
if you press P this will allow you to access the pen tool really quickly and
then if you press X it will talk between the stroke and the fill and the bottom
left of your screen if you then press Shift + X together it's literally going
to change the fill in the stroke which is very handy indeed so let's draw a
shape really quickly with the pen tool and then you can press a for the direct
selection tool and then V for the selection tool and you can also use the
shift out shortcut that we mentioned just now and the shape will alternate
between a stroke and a fill so there are a few shortcuts you want to keep in mind
for later designing my point here is to familiarize yourself with all the
shortcuts where as many as possible when designing a laker illustrator this next
illustrator tip or trick is one I've mentioned a few times in this channel
but it helps you a lot of later designing you might not be a pen tool
master and if so you can use the smooth tool here however you first must have
the line or the object selected and then locate the smooth tool you then roughly
draw the direction you wish to take the line an illustrator for smooth and the
path like so this is an amazing tool especially for people who are just
learning to use illustrator and the basics
he was a recent liquor design that I created for a client this next tip or
trick in Illustrator will help you be precise and on point with your designs
you probably know that hitting command or control R is going to open up the
relays and then once they open you can bring down guides they'll help you align
objects and be very precise however we can actually open an entire
grid like so now you can design your Lakers with total precision you have
multiple lines and guides across the entire board to design and figure our
work alongside so nice instance here I can change the logo type to be the exact
same length as the logo symbol itself
now I advise you guys to start designing your logos with the grid open from the
get-go it's a real awesome tool for local
designing in Illustrator
the fifth tip for logo design illustrator is another built in setting
head up to destroy the preferences at the top of your screen and then you go
and head to smart guides you can see what settings that I'm using here this
basically will help you to be even more precise with your work and make a design
life that much easier if I now take objects with vector paths the gentle
guides are going to appear when certain things are aligned centered and so forth
of course you can customize the settings for your needs having at least some
smart guides activated it's a great idea for Lego design illustrator
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 assay 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 had 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
as you can see all the liquor designs here has saved a separate designs which
saves a whole lot of time I love this label eccentric as I often use it myself
the final tip for logo design illustrator is a biggie I know some
designers who don't even use the pen tool for most local designs they only
used this tool for creating the actual shapes I have a collection of shapes
here and I've made sure that they're perfectly aligned and meet smoothly
intersections this is important and you need to be precise when you work in this
way for logo designing if I then select everything I can take the shape builder
tool by default it has the plus icon above the cursor which means we can join
shapes together and I will show you how that works now
if you then hold down the alt/option key a - icon will appear and this will -
certain areas of design and remove them
if you've seen this tool before on this channel I'm sorry but this list of logo
design tricks isn't complete without included now that can add a fill to my
final shape which would have been a pain to crave with the pen tool what would
have taken a longer time pressing command or control Z will take us back
some steps and now I can make a different shape using both aspects of
the shape edit or you can use her shortcuts from earlier in this tutorial
to change the stroke to a fill and then remove any unwanted areas
