1 00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:01,400 Hello everyone. 2 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:06,410 Right now we're going to learn the use of gradient in Adobe Illustrator. 3 00:00:06,410 --> 00:00:10,640 And we are going to draw the Instagram logo using the gradient. 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,460 And at first you need to know what is gradient. 5 00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:17,300 Actually, gradient is a color combination. 6 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:21,290 When you will add at least two color, you will have the gradient. 7 00:00:21,290 --> 00:00:27,320 Even if you want to add multiple color like more than two color, you can do that in gradient. 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,640 So gradient is a combination uh at least two or more colors. 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,140 So I hope you got the idea. 10 00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:37,580 And we are going to draw the Instagram logo with the gradient. 11 00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:40,160 And let's start the process. 12 00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:43,040 So I'm going to use this common preset. 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,820 And I'm going to show you what is the gradient okay. 14 00:00:46,820 --> 00:00:51,050 You can see this is the gradient tool inside our um toolbar. 15 00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:56,150 But I'm not going to use this uh gradient tool right now. 16 00:00:56,150 --> 00:01:01,010 At first I need to draw a rectangle shape with the rectangle tool. 17 00:01:01,970 --> 00:01:02,390 Okay. 18 00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:08,090 You can see I have the white fill color in here, but I want to apply the gradient in here. 19 00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:10,580 So how I will apply the gradient. 20 00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:14,990 To apply a gradient you have to go to this windows menu. 21 00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:18,350 And from there you will have this gradient option. 22 00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:20,330 So here is the gradient option. 23 00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:24,200 And you can see we have the gradient in here. 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,990 And you can see we have different type of um gradient like linear gradient or radial gradient. 25 00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:32,060 So I'm going to use this linear gradient. 26 00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:39,860 And you can see after applying the linear gradient we have the gradient color applied to our rectangle 27 00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:41,030 shapes okay. 28 00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:44,120 So as I was saying that it's the combination of two colors. 29 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,500 So you can see we have the white color and we have the black color. 30 00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,890 So this is the combination of white and black color. 31 00:01:51,980 --> 00:01:58,820 And instead of white and black if you need to change the color what you have to do you just have to 32 00:01:58,820 --> 00:01:59,960 right click. 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,440 Sorry. 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,630 You just have to double click with your mouse in here. 35 00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:04,520 Then the pop up will appear. 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,930 And with this um, eyedropper tool you can choose any color. 37 00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:14,090 So as an example, I'm going to use this color for my left side. 38 00:02:14,090 --> 00:02:21,560 And you can see I got the green color for my left side and for the right side it's applied with the, 39 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,090 uh, black color. 40 00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:25,700 So you just have to double click with your mouse once again. 41 00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:30,170 And instead of black, any color you want to put, you can put in here. 42 00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:38,390 And you can see we got the gradient of two color and we just changed, uh, for the left side, uh, 43 00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:40,370 instead of white we used green. 44 00:02:40,370 --> 00:02:43,910 And at right instead of black we used red. 45 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:47,210 So this is called the gradient okay. 46 00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:54,560 And if you need to if you need to cover up or increase the decrease the location or the area of gradient, 47 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,570 you can move this pointer from left to right or this far right to left. 48 00:02:59,570 --> 00:03:02,330 So let me show you how this thing is working. 49 00:03:02,330 --> 00:03:05,180 So I need to increase my green area. 50 00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:08,090 That's why you have to move the pointer at right side. 51 00:03:08,090 --> 00:03:11,780 And you can see it's increasing the area of green inside the box. 52 00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:13,610 So I'm going to adding more. 53 00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:17,330 And you can see it's cover uh maximum percent. 54 00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:25,190 And uh for the right purpose you can move in here and you can see this two color come closer. 55 00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:31,490 And if you need to reduce the area you can have this way and you can apply this way, okay. 56 00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:32,990 So depend on your needs. 57 00:03:32,990 --> 00:03:36,140 You can increase or decrease the area of color. 58 00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:38,390 So this is the linear gradient. 59 00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:44,180 And if you need the uh radial gradient in that case you can use this one okay. 60 00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:46,730 So I'm going to use this uh radial gradient. 61 00:03:46,730 --> 00:03:53,570 And while you will use this radial gradient in that case you will have some kind of a circle okay. 62 00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:58,010 So let me click this, uh, circle. 63 00:03:58,010 --> 00:04:01,520 And you can see we got the radial shape of gradient. 64 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,780 And it's applied to our, uh boxes. 65 00:04:05,780 --> 00:04:12,110 And that this, this radial gradient we will use while we will design the Instagram logo. 66 00:04:12,110 --> 00:04:17,540 But this time I'm just using this linear gradient for showing you okay. 67 00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:19,310 So this just a two color. 68 00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:25,040 But what you will do if you need more color for adding more color, you have to place your mouse cursor 69 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,640 in here. 70 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:32,270 And you can see once I placed my mouse cursor, you can see it's a plus sign is added with my mouse 71 00:04:32,270 --> 00:04:32,660 cursor. 72 00:04:32,660 --> 00:04:34,370 So you just have to click once. 73 00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:37,760 Then another another pointer will be added. 74 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,130 And you just have to double click with your mouse. 75 00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:45,440 And uh, from the color you can pick any color as you need. 76 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,900 And you can see we got the color in here. 77 00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:51,750 I guess I'm going to use this blue color. 78 00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:58,440 So this is, uh, the way how you will add more color, even if even if you need some more color, you 79 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,690 just have to add, uh, the pointer and then add the colors. 80 00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:10,870 Okay, here is one, here is another. 81 00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:11,440 Okay. 82 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,630 So you can see I added multiple colors. 83 00:05:13,630 --> 00:05:16,150 So this is called the gradient. 84 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:22,900 And this is how you will apply the gradient in any object or any uh design that you have created. 85 00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:23,290 Okay. 86 00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:30,220 So right now we are going to we're going to create the Instagram logo with the gradient. 87 00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:35,170 And therefore I need to I need to uh delete these things. 88 00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:38,380 And I'm going to use this uh selection tool. 89 00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,920 And I'm going to delete this one okay. 90 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:49,450 So for creating the Instagram logo at first I need to use this rectangle tool. 91 00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:53,980 And I'm going to draw I'm going to draw a. 92 00:05:56,290 --> 00:06:01,120 Square shape and make sure that I'm going to use that no fill color. 93 00:06:01,150 --> 00:06:01,480 Okay. 94 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:07,930 I'm going to use this no fill color, but I'm going to use a two point or three point for my stroke. 95 00:06:07,930 --> 00:06:14,890 And I need to I need to make the rounded corner for every corner of this square shape. 96 00:06:14,890 --> 00:06:19,060 That's why you know how to make the Rounded Rectangle Tool using. 97 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:29,850 I'm not going to use the Rounded Rectangle tool, but I already used this, uh, point for, uh, making 98 00:06:29,850 --> 00:06:32,010 a rounded corner for my box. 99 00:06:32,010 --> 00:06:33,870 Okay, this is the first one. 100 00:06:33,870 --> 00:06:36,210 Then I need to draw another. 101 00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:40,830 Okay. 102 00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:43,380 And let me use this selection tool. 103 00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:46,320 And I want to place it properly in here. 104 00:06:46,470 --> 00:06:48,270 And then I'm going to. 105 00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:56,600 Okay, I'm going to make the rounded corner for this one also. 106 00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:58,490 Okay. 107 00:06:58,490 --> 00:06:59,000 Cool, huh? 108 00:06:59,030 --> 00:07:03,590 Now what I have to do, I have to create a circle inside here. 109 00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,320 That's why I'm going to use this ellipse tool. 110 00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:11,390 And I'm going to draw a circle. 111 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,630 And I'm going to draw another circle in here. 112 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,530 Okay. 113 00:07:18,530 --> 00:07:23,300 So this is just the basic structure of the Instagram logo. 114 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:28,340 And we will we will change the borders in later. 115 00:07:28,340 --> 00:07:33,680 But right now we will work with the Instagram logo color part. 116 00:07:33,860 --> 00:07:38,300 And therefore we have to add the original logo of Instagram. 117 00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:42,500 And I have already given inside the exercise file and I'm going to use it. 118 00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:45,110 So file menu place option. 119 00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:46,970 So you can see this is the Instagram logo. 120 00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:49,040 And I'm going to place it here. 121 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,900 So I'm going to place it here. 122 00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:53,000 And you can see we got the logo in here. 123 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,430 So let me increase just for a while. 124 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,230 And now let me click in some empty spaces okay. 125 00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:02,420 So you can see this is the original logo. 126 00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:05,480 And right now we need to we need to pick the color. 127 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,240 Now which color is used inside the logo. 128 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,120 We're going to use this, uh, original color. 129 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000 And that's why I'm going to use this eyedropper tool. 130 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:20,840 This eyedropper tool basically using for picking any exact color from any images or from any objects. 131 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,230 Okay. 132 00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:25,610 So I'm going to use this eyedropper tool and I'm going to select this area. 133 00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:34,070 So once I will click this area you can see inside my fill color it's turned into the area I have selected. 134 00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:37,850 So I just used my eyedropper tool and I clicked here. 135 00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:40,220 And this color placed in here okay. 136 00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:42,050 And now I need to save this color. 137 00:08:42,050 --> 00:08:43,220 So how we will do that. 138 00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:47,960 You just have to right click with your mouse and you can see this called the new swatch. 139 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:55,190 And let me click this new swatch and put the name as uh default is given. 140 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:56,390 And let me click okay. 141 00:08:56,390 --> 00:08:59,930 And you can see this new swatch is added in here okay. 142 00:08:59,930 --> 00:09:03,710 So now let me, uh, use the eyedropper tool once again. 143 00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:08,300 And I'm going to use this top color again. 144 00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:11,600 I'm going to use this uh, new swatch option. 145 00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:14,960 I'm keeping the same name. 146 00:09:15,290 --> 00:09:22,760 And finally I need to I need to use this intermediate color or this one. 147 00:09:26,260 --> 00:09:26,770 Okay. 148 00:09:26,770 --> 00:09:27,220 Cool, huh? 149 00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:29,050 So I need to say this one. 150 00:09:29,050 --> 00:09:32,710 So I'm going to use same method as like before. 151 00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:35,740 And you can see my previous two swatches is added. 152 00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:37,870 And I'm going to click okay. 153 00:09:37,870 --> 00:09:40,870 So I have total three color in here okay. 154 00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:43,240 So I'm going to delete this image. 155 00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:50,590 And now the time for applying this three color inside our Instagram logo. 156 00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:59,230 And for applying the gradient color to this image you must have to select the large box. 157 00:09:59,290 --> 00:09:59,680 First. 158 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,020 Make sure that you have selected the large box. 159 00:10:02,020 --> 00:10:05,440 Then you have to go for the windows menu. 160 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,980 From there you will get this gradient option. 161 00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:11,650 Okay, so you can see this is the gradient. 162 00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:19,390 And once you will click in this gradient you will have the similar gradient as like before okay. 163 00:10:19,390 --> 00:10:24,250 So um I'm going to I'm going to use this radial gradient this time. 164 00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:28,690 And once you will click radial gradient you will have the circle. 165 00:10:28,690 --> 00:10:33,820 And now I have to use this gradient tool from the toolbar. 166 00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:37,240 So I'm going to use this gradient tool. 167 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,870 And you can see once you click the gradient tool you will have this settings. 168 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:46,930 And if you need to increase or decrease the area of the central light, you have to place your mouse 169 00:10:46,930 --> 00:10:49,000 cursor at here. 170 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,970 And it will help you for increasing the area. 171 00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:59,170 And you can see this is the option I have increased and I now I need to place this light at the, uh, 172 00:10:59,170 --> 00:11:00,400 bottom left. 173 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,030 And that's why you have to place your mouse cursor in the line. 174 00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:09,220 Then you will be able to place the light in here. 175 00:11:10,210 --> 00:11:10,690 Okay. 176 00:11:10,690 --> 00:11:16,120 So I have, uh, placed the light in here, and now I need to I need to apply the color that we have, 177 00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,880 um, saved in our swatch file. 178 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,010 So for the, uh, for the white part, you have to double click with your mouse. 179 00:11:24,010 --> 00:11:27,640 And these are called the swatches option. 180 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,650 So let me click the swatches option. 181 00:11:29,650 --> 00:11:32,380 And you can see this is the three color we have added. 182 00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:36,670 So I'm going to use this color for my lower part. 183 00:11:36,850 --> 00:11:42,220 And for the uh dark part I'm going to double click with my mouse. 184 00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:46,360 And for the dark part I'm going to use the second color. 185 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:52,240 And you can see we got almost, almost similar color as like our original Instagram logo. 186 00:11:52,990 --> 00:11:58,180 And now I have to I have to add the another color. 187 00:11:58,180 --> 00:12:02,350 And that's why I'm going to place my mouse cursor in here. 188 00:12:02,350 --> 00:12:05,560 And you can see another uh pointer is added. 189 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:10,870 And I'm going to double click with my mouse and I'm going to use the third color okay. 190 00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:12,460 So you can see it's placed in here. 191 00:12:12,460 --> 00:12:19,630 But if you need to move, if you need to move the uh position of this color, you can place your mouse 192 00:12:19,630 --> 00:12:30,100 cursor in here and you can move, uh, from here to there as well as you can increase bit area. 193 00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:33,920 Okay. 194 00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:35,120 Um. 195 00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:36,260 Almost close. 196 00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:38,300 Close to the original logo. 197 00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:39,440 And now we have to. 198 00:12:39,470 --> 00:12:42,200 We have to change something that is called. 199 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,300 We need to make this part white. 200 00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:46,010 And, you know, it's quite simple. 201 00:12:46,010 --> 00:12:48,080 You just have to use the selection tool. 202 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,700 You have to select this one and you have to, uh, change the stroke color. 203 00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:56,240 So I'm going to use this white color as the stroke. 204 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,010 And I'm going to increase. 205 00:13:00,170 --> 00:13:01,310 The stroke. 206 00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:08,540 And let me increase the size of this box. 207 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,170 And now I need to do the same things for the circle. 208 00:13:12,170 --> 00:13:14,540 I need to change the color. 209 00:13:14,540 --> 00:13:17,090 I need to increase the stroke. 210 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,690 And I'm going to do the same thing for this one. 211 00:13:23,690 --> 00:13:25,790 I'm going to change the color. 212 00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:28,490 Let me increase the stroke. 213 00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:36,820 And for the outer part, I'm not going to use any, uh, stroke color. 214 00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:47,860 Okay, so you can see we have created the Instagram logo and we have made the Instagram logo with the 215 00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:50,230 combination of three different color. 216 00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,030 And we applied the gradient. 217 00:13:52,030 --> 00:13:55,210 So I hope you enjoyed this lesson. 218 00:13:55,210 --> 00:14:00,370 And uh, with the use of gradient you will be able to make the Instagram logo as well. 219 00:14:00,370 --> 00:14:09,100 So I will request you to do some more practice because this gradient things may be uh, you will found 220 00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,190 uh, bit tough as you are a beginner. 221 00:14:12,190 --> 00:14:14,170 So you have to do some more practice. 222 00:14:14,170 --> 00:14:21,040 And if you do some more practice, then it will be easier to you to use the gradient in Adobe Illustrator.
