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

- [VOICEOVER] In this

movie, I'll demonstrate how,



2

00:00:02.02 --> 00:00:04.01

thanks to our reliance on gradience and



3

00:00:04.01 --> 00:00:06.08

global swatches, we can

switch out the color



4

00:00:06.08 --> 00:00:09.06

scheme dynamically, anytime we like.



5

00:00:09.06 --> 00:00:11.02

So for example, let's

say, instead of going



6

00:00:11.02 --> 00:00:13.06

with these high contrast colors,



7

00:00:13.06 --> 00:00:15.09

I want some warm fall colors like these.



8

00:00:15.09 --> 00:00:17.07

Well, as we saw in the previous chapter,



9

00:00:17.07 --> 00:00:21.00

one way to approach this

project, is with recolor artwork.



10

00:00:21.00 --> 00:00:22.02

And so I'll just go ahead and



11

00:00:22.02 --> 00:00:25.07

click somewhere outside

in the origami petals,



12

00:00:25.07 --> 00:00:28.01

and then I'll click on

the recolor artwork icon,



13

00:00:28.01 --> 00:00:30.02

up here in the control panel.



14

00:00:30.02 --> 00:00:32.04

And now I can see my

base colors, right here,



15

00:00:32.04 --> 00:00:34.00

in which case, I could go ahead and



16

00:00:34.00 --> 00:00:36.04

switch out the dark blue

for the dark purple,



17

00:00:36.04 --> 00:00:38.05

and that's going to swap those two colors.



18

00:00:38.05 --> 00:00:40.09

And then I'll go ahead

and drag the brighter blue



19

00:00:40.09 --> 00:00:42.09

onto the brighter purple, and that will



20

00:00:42.09 --> 00:00:45.08

swap those two colors as well.



21

00:00:45.08 --> 00:00:48.09

Problem is, we've got a

total of seven colors here,



22

00:00:48.09 --> 00:00:52.06

and I'm actually only using

six colors in the gradience.



23

00:00:52.06 --> 00:00:54.05

This top color is actually employed



24

00:00:54.05 --> 00:00:56.03

by the outer glow affect.



25

00:00:56.03 --> 00:00:58.00

And so, if I end up switching this



26

00:00:58.00 --> 00:01:00.02

dark blue with that brown,



27

00:01:00.02 --> 00:01:02.09

I'm going to make a

pretty big mess of things,



28

00:01:02.09 --> 00:01:04.05

as we're seeing here.



29

00:01:04.05 --> 00:01:05.06

But there's no need to worry,



30

00:01:05.06 --> 00:01:08.05

because we started with global swatches.



31

00:01:08.05 --> 00:01:09.09

So I'm just going to go ahead and cancel



32

00:01:09.09 --> 00:01:11.08

out of this dialogue box,



33

00:01:11.08 --> 00:01:14.02

and instead I'm going to

press control, shift, a,



34

00:01:14.02 --> 00:01:15.04

or command, shift, a on a Mac.



35

00:01:15.04 --> 00:01:17.07

That's very important,

to deselect my art work,



36

00:01:17.07 --> 00:01:19.02

so I don't mess it up.



37

00:01:19.02 --> 00:01:21.01

And then, I'll just go ahead and modify



38

00:01:21.01 --> 00:01:24.07

these global swatches, here

inside the flower color screw.



39

00:01:24.07 --> 00:01:27.07

So I'll start by double

clicking on this first guy,



40

00:01:27.07 --> 00:01:30.04

and I'll switch the color mode to AHSB,



41

00:01:30.04 --> 00:01:33.00

and then I'll just go ahead

and change the hue value,



42

00:01:33.00 --> 00:01:37.03

let's say, to 355, and the

other values are fine as is,



43

00:01:37.03 --> 00:01:39.06

at which point I'll turn

on the preview checkbox,



44

00:01:39.06 --> 00:01:41.07

and I'll see my change applied on the fly,



45

00:01:41.07 --> 00:01:43.04

at which point I'll click okay,



46

00:01:43.04 --> 00:01:45.08

and then I'll double click

on the next color swatch,



47

00:01:45.08 --> 00:01:48.08

and this time I'm seeing the

AHSB values right of the bat,



48

00:01:48.08 --> 00:01:51.01

and I'll go ahead and change this



49

00:01:51.01 --> 00:01:53.05

hue value to 20 this time around,



50

00:01:53.05 --> 00:01:55.09

turn on the preview

checkbox, and I'll see the



51

00:01:55.09 --> 00:01:58.09

modifications applied to

my deselected art work,



52

00:01:58.09 --> 00:02:01.07

because after all, these

gradients are linked



53

00:02:01.07 --> 00:02:04.00

to these global swatches.



54

00:02:04.00 --> 00:02:05.04

Alright, I'll click okay again,



55

00:02:05.04 --> 00:02:07.08

and then I'll double

click on this blue swatch,



56

00:02:07.08 --> 00:02:10.00

and I'll go ahead and

change it's hue value,



57

00:02:10.00 --> 00:02:13.04

not to 355 by the way,

because if I do that and



58

00:02:13.04 --> 00:02:16.05

try to click okay, Illustrator

isn't mad at me because



59

00:02:16.05 --> 00:02:18.07

I'm entering the same values, it's mad



60

00:02:18.07 --> 00:02:21.02

because I'm trying to

use the same swatch name.



61

00:02:21.02 --> 00:02:23.08

So I'll have to click okay,

and then either change



62

00:02:23.08 --> 00:02:27.03

the swatch name, or just go

with a different hue value,



63

00:02:27.03 --> 00:02:30.04

and I decided on a hue of 350 degrees,



64

00:02:30.04 --> 00:02:32.08

turn on the preview

checkbox, see it applied to



65

00:02:32.08 --> 00:02:35.03

those blue gradients, and click okay.



66

00:02:35.03 --> 00:02:37.04

And then I'll double

click on the blue swatch,



67

00:02:37.04 --> 00:02:40.06

and I'll change it's

hue value to 0 degrees,



68

00:02:40.06 --> 00:02:44.06

and turn on the preview checkbox,

and I have this vivid red,



69

00:02:44.06 --> 00:02:47.02

at which point I'll click okay once again.



70

00:02:47.02 --> 00:02:49.02

Now things get even more interesting if I



71

00:02:49.02 --> 00:02:51.04

switch out the style of the gradients.



72

00:02:51.04 --> 00:02:52.08

And so to demonstrate

what I'm talking about,



73

00:02:52.08 --> 00:02:55.08

I'll go ahead and click

in my art work, like so,



74

00:02:55.08 --> 00:02:57.09

in order to select that rear most circle.



75

00:02:57.09 --> 00:03:00.05

And then, I'll go ahead

and select the very bottom



76

00:03:00.05 --> 00:03:02.02

fill in the stack down here,



77

00:03:02.02 --> 00:03:05.06

and I'll expand my gradient

panel, and then I'll change



78

00:03:05.06 --> 00:03:08.07

the style to linear,

and notice what happens,



79

00:03:08.07 --> 00:03:11.02

we start to have this

wrap around gradient,



80

00:03:11.02 --> 00:03:13.05

and that's going to become

even more obvious if I



81

00:03:13.05 --> 00:03:17.03

change the location of the

middle color stop to 50 percent,



82

00:03:17.03 --> 00:03:18.09

and then I'll press the alt key,



83

00:03:18.09 --> 00:03:20.02

or the option key on the Mac,



84

00:03:20.02 --> 00:03:22.05

and drag that right hand color stop,



85

00:03:22.05 --> 00:03:24.03

all the way over to the left.



86

00:03:24.03 --> 00:03:26.02

And because I have the

alt or option key down,



87

00:03:26.02 --> 00:03:28.00

I'm making a copy of it.



88

00:03:28.00 --> 00:03:30.07

And just for a moment, I'm going

to press control, shift, a,



89

00:03:30.07 --> 00:03:33.04

or command, shift, a on a

Mac, to deselect my art work,



90

00:03:33.04 --> 00:03:35.08

so I can modify this first global swatch,



91

00:03:35.08 --> 00:03:39.04

because after all, to my eye

anyway, it looks too dark.



92

00:03:39.04 --> 00:03:41.06

And so I'll go ahead

and double click on it,



93

00:03:41.06 --> 00:03:43.07

make sure I'm looking at my AHSB values,



94

00:03:43.07 --> 00:03:46.00

take that brightness

value up to 50 percent,



95

00:03:46.00 --> 00:03:48.04

turn on the preview checkbox,

and now it's looking



96

00:03:48.04 --> 00:03:51.09

way too red, and so I'll change

the hue value, to let's say,



97

00:03:51.09 --> 00:03:55.03

10 degrees, and I end up

with this affect here.



98

00:03:55.03 --> 00:03:56.07

And so I'll click okay.



99

00:03:56.07 --> 00:04:00.04

And so notice how the gradient

is now wrapping around,



100

00:04:00.04 --> 00:04:03.01

like so, in a kind of swirl pattern,



101

00:04:03.01 --> 00:04:06.00

and that's because it's being

scaled and rotated outward.



102

00:04:06.00 --> 00:04:08.03

And then I decided to do

something similar with



103

00:04:08.03 --> 00:04:10.09

the third to bottom fill, right here.



104

00:04:10.09 --> 00:04:13.02

And so, I went ahead and

selected it's middle swatch,



105

00:04:13.02 --> 00:04:16.08

sent it to a location of

50 percent, duplicated by



106

00:04:16.08 --> 00:04:19.06

alt dragging or option

dragging the yellow color stop,



107

00:04:19.06 --> 00:04:21.05

over to the far left hand side.



108

00:04:21.05 --> 00:04:23.07

I changed the type from radial to linear,



109

00:04:23.07 --> 00:04:26.01

and I'm not seeing anything happen because



110

00:04:26.01 --> 00:04:28.04

I forgot to reselect my art work.



111

00:04:28.04 --> 00:04:30.04

So when you're modifying global swatches,



112

00:04:30.04 --> 00:04:32.03

it's very important that

nothing is selected,



113

00:04:32.03 --> 00:04:33.08

but when you're modifying gradience,



114

00:04:33.08 --> 00:04:36.04

it's very important that

something is selected.



115

00:04:36.04 --> 00:04:38.09

So I'll go ahead and click

on my art work, once again,



116

00:04:38.09 --> 00:04:42.01

to select it, then I'll click

on the third to bottom fill,



117

00:04:42.01 --> 00:04:44.01

I'll go ahead and select

that middle color stop,



118

00:04:44.01 --> 00:04:47.04

change it to 50 percent, alt

or option drag the yellow one



119

00:04:47.04 --> 00:04:50.07

from the right, over to the

left hand side to duplicate it.



120

00:04:50.07 --> 00:04:53.06

I'll change the type to

linear, and I'll go ahead and



121

00:04:53.06 --> 00:04:56.00

switch out the middle

color with this darker



122

00:04:56.00 --> 00:04:58.07

shade of brown, like so.



123

00:04:58.07 --> 00:05:00.01

Now, press control, shift, a,



124

00:05:00.01 --> 00:05:02.07

or command, shift, a on the

Mac, to deselect my art work.



125

00:05:02.07 --> 00:05:05.00

So whether you prefer the

exclusive radial affect,



126

00:05:05.00 --> 00:05:07.02

or the alternative linear one,



127

00:05:07.02 --> 00:05:09.05

it's an easy matter to

change out the color scheme,



128

00:05:09.05 --> 00:05:12.06

of a dynamic affect, by

comprises global swatches



129

00:05:12.06 --> 00:05:15.08

and gradience, here inside Illustrator.
