00:00:00.03 --> 00:00:01.04

- [Voiceover] Alright, now in the ad,



2

00:00:01.04 --> 00:00:03.04

we may want the front and

the back of the ribbon



3

00:00:03.04 --> 00:00:05.03

to appear in the same color,



4

00:00:05.03 --> 00:00:07.04

or we may wanna go with

a two color scheme,



5

00:00:07.04 --> 00:00:09.06

in which the front of

the ribbon looks one way



6

00:00:09.06 --> 00:00:11.05

and the back looks another.



7

00:00:11.05 --> 00:00:13.06

But in any event, we're not gonna want



8

00:00:13.06 --> 00:00:16.08

six hodgepodge shades of yellow and green.



9

00:00:16.08 --> 00:00:18.05

And so what we're gonna do in this movie



10

00:00:18.05 --> 00:00:21.07

is take a moment to establish

a couple of Global Swatches,



11

00:00:21.07 --> 00:00:23.08

and then we're going

to apply those swatches



12

00:00:23.08 --> 00:00:25.03

to the live paint object



13

00:00:25.03 --> 00:00:27.09

using a powerful command

called Recolor Artwork



14

00:00:27.09 --> 00:00:31.05

that we'll be visiting in more

detail in a future chapter.



15

00:00:31.05 --> 00:00:33.03

And so the first thing you wanna do



16

00:00:33.03 --> 00:00:35.04

is go over here to the Swatches panel



17

00:00:35.04 --> 00:00:37.01

and make sure that the fill is active.



18

00:00:37.01 --> 00:00:39.00

And then drop down to the little page icon



19

00:00:39.00 --> 00:00:41.05

at the bottom of the

panel and click on it.



20

00:00:41.05 --> 00:00:44.00

And let's go ahead and call this guy Vice



21

00:00:44.00 --> 00:00:45.05

because it'll be the front of the ribbon,



22

00:00:45.05 --> 00:00:47.05

and I'll turn on the Global checkbox,



23

00:00:47.05 --> 00:00:50.00

switch the color mode to HSB,



24

00:00:50.00 --> 00:00:51.04

and then advance to the hue value



25

00:00:51.04 --> 00:00:53.01

and change it to 210 degrees,



26

00:00:53.01 --> 00:00:55.09

and take the saturation and

the brightness values up



27

00:00:55.09 --> 00:00:58.09

to 100 percent a piece, and then click OK.



28

00:00:58.09 --> 00:01:01.05

And this is nothing more than

a dummy swatch, by the way,



29

00:01:01.05 --> 00:01:03.04

just so that we have something in place.



30

00:01:03.04 --> 00:01:05.00

Alright now, I'll create a versa swatch



31

00:01:05.00 --> 00:01:07.07

by clicking on the New

Swatch icon once again



32

00:01:07.07 --> 00:01:09.07

and I'll rename this guy Versa.



33

00:01:09.07 --> 00:01:11.05

Notice that Global is turned on this time,



34

00:01:11.05 --> 00:01:13.00

so I don't have to worry about that.



35

00:01:13.00 --> 00:01:16.00

But I do need to switch

the color mode to HSB.



36

00:01:16.00 --> 00:01:18.04

And I'll take the hue

value down to 30 degrees,



37

00:01:18.04 --> 00:01:21.06

saturation and brightness

are fine at 100 percent,



38

00:01:21.06 --> 00:01:22.08

and I'll click OK.



39

00:01:22.08 --> 00:01:24.02

Alright now I need to put these guys



40

00:01:24.02 --> 00:01:25.03

inside of a color group.



41

00:01:25.03 --> 00:01:27.06

So I'm gonna get rid of

this default Cold group



42

00:01:27.06 --> 00:01:29.06

by clicking on its folder icon



43

00:01:29.06 --> 00:01:31.07

and then to avoid an alert message,



44

00:01:31.07 --> 00:01:33.06

I'll press the ALT key or

the option key on a Mac,



45

00:01:33.06 --> 00:01:35.06

and click on a little trash icon



46

00:01:35.06 --> 00:01:38.00

in the bottom right corner

of the Swatches panel.



47

00:01:38.00 --> 00:01:41.03

Now go ahead and shift

click on the Vice swatch,



48

00:01:41.03 --> 00:01:43.07

so both Vice and Versa are selected,



49

00:01:43.07 --> 00:01:45.05

and then click on this little folder icon



50

00:01:45.05 --> 00:01:47.03

at the bottom of the Swatches panel,



51

00:01:47.03 --> 00:01:50.01

and just go ahead and

call this guy Globals,



52

00:01:50.01 --> 00:01:51.07

and click OK.



53

00:01:51.07 --> 00:01:53.05

Alright now, we wanna assign our swatches



54

00:01:53.05 --> 00:01:54.08

to the live paint object.



55

00:01:54.08 --> 00:01:58.01

And you could do that by

grabbing your live paint bucket



56

00:01:58.01 --> 00:02:00.04

and then making sure Vice is selected



57

00:02:00.04 --> 00:02:01.09

here inside the Swatches panel,



58

00:02:01.09 --> 00:02:04.01

and dragging it over

say the yellow regions.



59

00:02:04.01 --> 00:02:06.00

But that's gonna mean a lot

of clicking and dragging



60

00:02:06.00 --> 00:02:07.03

inside your artwork.



61

00:02:07.03 --> 00:02:09.07

And so the better way to

go is to undo that change,



62

00:02:09.07 --> 00:02:12.01

and then press CTRL+A

or command+A on a Mac



63

00:02:12.01 --> 00:02:13.06

to select your artwork,



64

00:02:13.06 --> 00:02:15.06

and then notice this icon right there,



65

00:02:15.06 --> 00:02:18.02

up here in the control

panel, Recolor Artwork.



66

00:02:18.02 --> 00:02:19.06

Go ahead and click on it



67

00:02:19.06 --> 00:02:22.05

to bring up this big dialog box here.



68

00:02:22.05 --> 00:02:24.01

Now, it's a lot to take in all at once,



69

00:02:24.01 --> 00:02:27.06

which is why I devote an entire

chapter in this very course



70

00:02:27.06 --> 00:02:28.07

to this feature.



71

00:02:28.07 --> 00:02:30.04

But for now, here's what I want you to do.



72

00:02:30.04 --> 00:02:33.04

Notice that we're seeing our

shades of yellow to green



73

00:02:33.04 --> 00:02:35.09

in the order that they

appear in the Swatches panel.



74

00:02:35.09 --> 00:02:39.02

And so they paths that are

on the outside edges here,



75

00:02:39.02 --> 00:02:40.08

they're the ones that are showing



76

00:02:40.08 --> 00:02:42.08

the Vice side of the ribbon,



77

00:02:42.08 --> 00:02:45.01

and the ones on the inside,

these guys right here,



78

00:02:45.01 --> 00:02:46.07

are showing the Versa side.



79

00:02:46.07 --> 00:02:47.05

So what you wanna do



80

00:02:47.05 --> 00:02:49.08

is take this third color bar, right there,



81

00:02:49.08 --> 00:02:52.04

and drag it and drop

it onto the first one.



82

00:02:52.04 --> 00:02:54.06

And then drop down to the fifth color bar,



83

00:02:54.06 --> 00:02:57.07

and drag it and drop it

onto the first one, as well.



84

00:02:57.07 --> 00:02:59.03

Now, I notice this second guy here,



85

00:02:59.03 --> 00:03:01.03

as well as the fourth and the sixth.



86

00:03:01.03 --> 00:03:03.08

You wanna combine them by

dragging the fourth one



87

00:03:03.08 --> 00:03:05.06

and dropping it onto the second bar,



88

00:03:05.06 --> 00:03:07.08

and then grab this dark green, right here,



89

00:03:07.08 --> 00:03:11.01

and drop it onto the second bar as well.



90

00:03:11.01 --> 00:03:13.00

Alright now, just go ahead and click



91

00:03:13.00 --> 00:03:14.07

on the Globals group right there



92

00:03:14.07 --> 00:03:18.04

in order to assign those colors

in the order they appear.



93

00:03:18.04 --> 00:03:20.06

So you've got all your

blues on the outside



94

00:03:20.06 --> 00:03:22.05

and all your oranges on the inside.



95

00:03:22.05 --> 00:03:23.06

That is what you want,



96

00:03:23.06 --> 00:03:25.02

but you wanna make one more change.



97

00:03:25.02 --> 00:03:27.09

Click on this tiny little

arrowhead right there



98

00:03:27.09 --> 00:03:29.07

and choose Exact.



99

00:03:29.07 --> 00:03:31.03

And that will change all your colors



100

00:03:31.03 --> 00:03:33.08

to either the blue Vice swatch,



101

00:03:33.08 --> 00:03:35.05

or the orange Versa one.



102

00:03:35.05 --> 00:03:38.00

At which point, go ahead and click OK



103

00:03:38.00 --> 00:03:39.06

in order to apply that change.



104

00:03:39.06 --> 00:03:40.09

And then press the V key



105

00:03:40.09 --> 00:03:42.01

to switch to your black arrow tool,



106

00:03:42.01 --> 00:03:45.02

and click off the path

outlines to deselect them.



107

00:03:45.02 --> 00:03:47.02

Alright, there's just one

more change I wanna make,



108

00:03:47.02 --> 00:03:48.07

and that's to rename this layer.



109

00:03:48.07 --> 00:03:50.02

You can skip this step



110

00:03:50.02 --> 00:03:52.00

because I'm gonna offer you a little tip



111

00:03:52.00 --> 00:03:53.03

that you may or may not need.



112

00:03:53.03 --> 00:03:55.04

And that's how to create an O



113

00:03:55.04 --> 00:03:57.09

with a diaeresis accent over it.



114

00:03:57.09 --> 00:03:59.02

And so here's what we're gonna do:



115

00:03:59.02 --> 00:04:01.08

if you're working with an

American keyboard, that is,



116

00:04:01.08 --> 00:04:04.00

go ahead and double click

on the existing layer name,



117

00:04:04.00 --> 00:04:05.05

which is Drawing at this point,



118

00:04:05.05 --> 00:04:07.06

and then I'll enter Not,



119

00:04:07.06 --> 00:04:09.03

because this is not a Möbius strip,



120

00:04:09.03 --> 00:04:10.07

and then capital M.



121

00:04:10.07 --> 00:04:12.07

And if you're working on a Mac,



122

00:04:12.07 --> 00:04:15.01

you wanna press option+U



123

00:04:15.01 --> 00:04:17.06

and then press the O key.



124

00:04:17.06 --> 00:04:20.04

Those two key strokes

will give you a diaeresis,



125

00:04:20.04 --> 00:04:23.04

which is a double-dot accent, over your O.



126

00:04:23.04 --> 00:04:25.00

If you're working on a PC,



127

00:04:25.00 --> 00:04:27.00

then you need to press

and hold the ALT key



128

00:04:27.00 --> 00:04:28.05

and dial in sequentially,



129

00:04:28.05 --> 00:04:32.02

0246 on your numeric key pad,



130

00:04:32.02 --> 00:04:34.00

and then release the ALT key,



131

00:04:34.00 --> 00:04:36.08

and that will give you a

little diaeresis over the O.



132

00:04:36.08 --> 00:04:40.08

So again, on the Mac

that's option+U and then O.



133

00:04:40.08 --> 00:04:42.07

On the PC, press and hold the ALT key



134

00:04:42.07 --> 00:04:46.05

and then dial in 0246

on your numerical keypad



135

00:04:46.05 --> 00:04:48.00

if you have access to it.



136

00:04:48.00 --> 00:04:48.09

If you're in a different country



137

00:04:48.09 --> 00:04:50.01

and you have a different key board,



138

00:04:50.01 --> 00:04:51.04

why then I don't know what you do.



139

00:04:51.04 --> 00:04:54.05

But in any case, now I'm gonna enter bius



140

00:04:54.05 --> 00:04:55.05

in order to finish things off.



141

00:04:55.05 --> 00:04:56.06

And I'll press the Enter key



142

00:04:56.06 --> 00:04:58.04

in order to accept that change.



143

00:04:58.04 --> 00:05:02.00

and now the name of this

layer is Not Möbius.



144

00:05:02.00 --> 00:05:03.09

Alright so, a little bit

of boring housekeeping



145

00:05:03.09 --> 00:05:05.09

but it's gonna service

well in the long term,



146

00:05:05.09 --> 00:05:09.02

and we got a sneak-peak at one

of the most powerful features



147

00:05:09.02 --> 00:05:12.02

in all of the software, Recolor Artwork



148

00:05:12.02 --> 00:05:14.03

here, inside Illustrator.
