00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:02.02

- [Voiceover] In this movie,

we're gonna take advantage



2

00:00:02.02 --> 00:00:04.07

of what's known as power duplication.



3

00:00:04.07 --> 00:00:07.05

Alternately called, series duplication.



4

00:00:07.05 --> 00:00:10.05

In order to duplicate the

paths that we've created so far



5

00:00:10.05 --> 00:00:13.06

in order to create the entire star logo.



6

00:00:13.06 --> 00:00:14.07

Alright, so I'll go ahead



7

00:00:14.07 --> 00:00:16.06

and switch over to my documents so far.



8

00:00:16.06 --> 00:00:19.00

These guys are no longer representative



9

00:00:19.00 --> 00:00:21.08

because their tops are

not skewed properly.



10

00:00:21.08 --> 00:00:23.05

So I'm just gonna partially mark even



11

00:00:23.05 --> 00:00:25.01

with a black arrow tool

and press backspace key



12

00:00:25.01 --> 00:00:28.02

or the delete key on the

Mac to get rid of them.



13

00:00:28.02 --> 00:00:31.00

Now go ahead and marquis these two guys



14

00:00:31.00 --> 00:00:32.04

in order to select them.



15

00:00:32.04 --> 00:00:34.07

And then select the rotate tool.



16

00:00:34.07 --> 00:00:37.04

And by the way if ever you

don't see the rotate tool



17

00:00:37.04 --> 00:00:38.02

at this location, that's because



18

00:00:38.02 --> 00:00:40.06

it's here in the fly out menu



19

00:00:40.06 --> 00:00:42.00

with the reflect tool.



20

00:00:42.00 --> 00:00:44.04

But in any event I'm going

to select the rotate tool



21

00:00:44.04 --> 00:00:46.09

and then you want to alt

click at the intersection



22

00:00:46.09 --> 00:00:49.01

of these two guides right here.



23

00:00:49.01 --> 00:00:51.03

The original center

guides inside the document



24

00:00:51.03 --> 00:00:53.01

so just a little bit to the left



25

00:00:53.01 --> 00:00:54.08

of the purple shape right there.



26

00:00:54.08 --> 00:00:57.06

Go ahead and alt click or

option click on the Mac



27

00:00:57.06 --> 00:01:00.02

in order to bring up

the rotate dialogue box.



28

00:01:00.02 --> 00:01:01.05

And we're not looking for an angle value



29

00:01:01.05 --> 00:01:02.09

of 180 degrees.



30

00:01:02.09 --> 00:01:05.06

We want 360 divided by five



31

00:01:05.06 --> 00:01:08.01

so just enter 360 slash five



32

00:01:08.01 --> 00:01:09.09

and then press the tab key



33

00:01:09.09 --> 00:01:12.03

and that will give you

an angle of 72 degrees.



34

00:01:12.03 --> 00:01:14.04

At which point go ahead

and click the copy button



35

00:01:14.04 --> 00:01:17.09

or you can press alt enter

or option return on the Mac



36

00:01:17.09 --> 00:01:21.04

in order to create a copy

that's precisely aligned



37

00:01:21.04 --> 00:01:25.01

with the tops of the

original shapes like so.



38

00:01:25.01 --> 00:01:26.09

Alright now we want to repeat that process



39

00:01:26.09 --> 00:01:28.09

and you can do that by

going to the object menu,



40

00:01:28.09 --> 00:01:32.01

choosing transform and then

choosing transform again.



41

00:01:32.01 --> 00:01:33.09

Or you have that keyboard shortcut



42

00:01:33.09 --> 00:01:37.02

of control D on the PC

or command D on the Mac.



43

00:01:37.02 --> 00:01:39.09

The D standing for duplicate.



44

00:01:39.09 --> 00:01:41.09

And that's going to give you another set



45

00:01:41.09 --> 00:01:44.05

of precisely aligned path outlines.



46

00:01:44.05 --> 00:01:47.03

And then to repeat the

process just press control D



47

00:01:47.03 --> 00:01:49.03

or command D on the Mac



48

00:01:49.03 --> 00:01:51.01

a couple of additional times.



49

00:01:51.01 --> 00:01:52.02

And that's going to give you



50

00:01:52.02 --> 00:01:54.09

the precision of fact

your seeing in the video.



51

00:01:54.09 --> 00:01:57.09

Now this isn't really

the angle I'm looking for



52

00:01:57.09 --> 00:01:58.09

from my star logo.



53

00:01:58.09 --> 00:02:01.02

I want it to be upright like that.



54

00:02:01.02 --> 00:02:02.09

So I'll go ahead and select everything



55

00:02:02.09 --> 00:02:05.07

by pressing control A

or command A on the Mac.



56

00:02:05.07 --> 00:02:08.08

And then I'll once again

alt click or option click



57

00:02:08.08 --> 00:02:12.00

at the intersection of

those two center guides



58

00:02:12.00 --> 00:02:14.07

in order to bring up

the rotate dialog box.



59

00:02:14.07 --> 00:02:16.09

Notice that an angle value of 72 degrees



60

00:02:16.09 --> 00:02:19.01

doesn't do anything, and that's because



61

00:02:19.01 --> 00:02:21.03

that is the angle at

which each one of these



62

00:02:21.03 --> 00:02:22.09

was rotated in the first place.



63

00:02:22.09 --> 00:02:25.04

So we're just taking this guy for example



64

00:02:25.04 --> 00:02:28.05

and rotating him into this

position and so forth.



65

00:02:28.05 --> 00:02:31.00

What we want is an angle

value of 180 degrees.



66

00:02:31.00 --> 00:02:33.06

And so if I enter that

value and press the tab key,



67

00:02:33.06 --> 00:02:35.08

you can see everything works out great.



68

00:02:35.08 --> 00:02:39.08

At which point I'll click OK

in order to accept that change.



69

00:02:39.08 --> 00:02:41.06

Now I have to fill in the center



70

00:02:41.06 --> 00:02:43.01

and I figure the best way to do that



71

00:02:43.01 --> 00:02:44.06

is using the ellipse tool.



72

00:02:44.06 --> 00:02:46.04

So I'll go ahead and

select the ellipse tool



73

00:02:46.04 --> 00:02:48.02

from the shape tool fly out menu.



74

00:02:48.02 --> 00:02:50.00

And then I'll position my cursor



75

00:02:50.00 --> 00:02:51.08

at the intersection of

those two center guides



76

00:02:51.08 --> 00:02:54.05

once again and I will drag out



77

00:02:54.05 --> 00:02:56.08

while pressing and holding the alt key,



78

00:02:56.08 --> 00:02:58.03

that's the option key on the Mac.



79

00:02:58.03 --> 00:03:01.01

And I'll go ahead and

add the shift key as well



80

00:03:01.01 --> 00:03:03.08

so that I'm constraining

my shape to a circle.



81

00:03:03.08 --> 00:03:06.06

And notice at this point I

have width and height values



82

00:03:06.06 --> 00:03:08.08

of 80 points which works out just fine.



83

00:03:08.08 --> 00:03:11.05

Anything that's big

enough to fill in that gap



84

00:03:11.05 --> 00:03:13.09

in the center there is

going to work out nicely.



85

00:03:13.09 --> 00:03:16.05

And then in my case

when I release the shape



86

00:03:16.05 --> 00:03:17.07

is automatically filled with that



87

00:03:17.07 --> 00:03:21.03

same shade of purple which

works out beautifully.



88

00:03:21.03 --> 00:03:23.00

Now the guides are getting

a little intrusive,



89

00:03:23.00 --> 00:03:25.01

especially since the paths

are no longer lining up



90

00:03:25.01 --> 00:03:26.06

to that custom guide.



91

00:03:26.06 --> 00:03:29.05

And so I'm going to turn

the guides layer off



92

00:03:29.05 --> 00:03:32.01

and then I'll press control

A or command A on the Mac



93

00:03:32.01 --> 00:03:33.08

in order to select all of my artwork



94

00:03:33.08 --> 00:03:37.01

and I'll press the V key to

switch to the black arrow tool.



95

00:03:37.01 --> 00:03:39.07

Now to my eye it looks

like the star is too high.



96

00:03:39.07 --> 00:03:42.00

So I'll press the enter key

or the return key on the Mac



97

00:03:42.00 --> 00:03:43.09

to bring up move dialog box.



98

00:03:43.09 --> 00:03:46.00

I'll enter a horizontal value of zero



99

00:03:46.00 --> 00:03:49.04

and then I came up with a

vertical value of 18 points



100

00:03:49.04 --> 00:03:52.09

which goes ahead and moves

the star 18 points downward.



101

00:03:52.09 --> 00:03:55.06

And then I'll click OK

to accept that change



102

00:03:55.06 --> 00:03:59.04

and I'll click off my paths

in order to deselect them.



103

00:03:59.04 --> 00:04:01.04

Now I'm going to give

my paths a background



104

00:04:01.04 --> 00:04:04.02

and I'm going to do that

by adding another layer.



105

00:04:04.02 --> 00:04:07.05

But as long as I'm here I

might as well rename this layer



106

00:04:07.05 --> 00:04:08.09

something like star logo



107

00:04:08.09 --> 00:04:11.02

because after all...



108

00:04:11.02 --> 00:04:12.05

We're no longer looking at primitives.



109

00:04:12.05 --> 00:04:14.05

What I meant to do for what it's worth,



110

00:04:14.05 --> 00:04:16.08

was go ahead and duplicate

that primitives layer



111

00:04:16.08 --> 00:04:18.03

in order to protect it



112

00:04:18.03 --> 00:04:21.09

and then unite the shapes

and protect those as well



113

00:04:21.09 --> 00:04:25.00

by duplicating them to this badge layer.



114

00:04:25.00 --> 00:04:27.01

And that would have been

a best practice by the way



115

00:04:27.01 --> 00:04:29.02

but I've already gone too far for that.



116

00:04:29.02 --> 00:04:30.06

So it's lucky that I'm stuck



117

00:04:30.06 --> 00:04:33.01

with this beautifully finalized logo.



118

00:04:33.01 --> 00:04:34.03

To house that background.



119

00:04:34.03 --> 00:04:36.09

I'll go ahead and press

that weird keyboard shortcut



120

00:04:36.09 --> 00:04:40.06

of control alt L or

command option L on the Mac



121

00:04:40.06 --> 00:04:43.04

which creates a new layer

behind the active one.



122

00:04:43.04 --> 00:04:45.04

I'll change the color of this layer



123

00:04:45.04 --> 00:04:49.09

to let's say gold and I'll

go ahead and call it back



124

00:04:49.09 --> 00:04:51.09

and then I'll click OK.



125

00:04:51.09 --> 00:04:55.04

And now I'm going to zoom

out by pressing control minus



126

00:04:55.04 --> 00:04:57.09

and I'll go ahead and

switch to my rectangle tool



127

00:04:57.09 --> 00:05:00.02

and I'll just go ahead

and drag from one corner



128

00:05:00.02 --> 00:05:02.09

of the bleed to the other like so



129

00:05:02.09 --> 00:05:05.00

and if I've got a stroke

I'd get rid of it,



130

00:05:05.00 --> 00:05:07.09

but I don't so I'm just

going to change the fill



131

00:05:07.09 --> 00:05:09.02

to this sort of muddy brown right here



132

00:05:09.02 --> 00:05:13.07

that begins R equals 83 in order



133

00:05:13.07 --> 00:05:15.00

to produce this effect here.



134

00:05:15.00 --> 00:05:17.01

And then I'll go ahead and press the V key



135

00:05:17.01 --> 00:05:18.04

to switch to my black arrow tool



136

00:05:18.04 --> 00:05:20.06

and I'll click off the path to deselect it



137

00:05:20.06 --> 00:05:23.06

and I'll press control plus

or command plus on the Mac



138

00:05:23.06 --> 00:05:27.05

to zoom in and I'll go ahead

and lock this back layer



139

00:05:27.05 --> 00:05:30.04

in order to prevent it from harm.



140

00:05:30.04 --> 00:05:33.01

So that pretty well

finishes off the star logo



141

00:05:33.01 --> 00:05:36.09

with the exception of

this big white path here



142

00:05:36.09 --> 00:05:38.07

which helps to offset the other shapes



143

00:05:38.07 --> 00:05:40.04

and we're going to create it



144

00:05:40.04 --> 00:05:43.00

using a special kind of scaling function



145

00:05:43.00 --> 00:05:46.07

known as offset path

in the very next movie.
