1 00:00:00.06 --> 00:00:01.09 - [Voiceover] In this movie, I'm gonna show you 2 00:00:01.09 --> 00:00:05.01 how to assign a graphic style to an entire layer. 3 00:00:05.01 --> 00:00:06.02 And so here's the idea. 4 00:00:06.02 --> 00:00:08.01 I really want these polygons 5 00:00:08.01 --> 00:00:11.02 to be in line with the word obey. 6 00:00:11.02 --> 00:00:13.00 So right now, the text is getting rotated 7 00:00:13.00 --> 00:00:15.05 around its center, while the polygons are each 8 00:00:15.05 --> 00:00:17.06 getting rotated around their centers, 9 00:00:17.06 --> 00:00:20.01 and as a result, everything is out of kilter. 10 00:00:20.01 --> 00:00:22.04 So I'm gonna press Control + Z, or Command + Z 11 00:00:22.04 --> 00:00:24.07 on the Mac, until I return to my original 12 00:00:24.07 --> 00:00:26.05 boring gray polygons. 13 00:00:26.05 --> 00:00:28.04 And so the solution, by the way, 14 00:00:28.04 --> 00:00:30.06 is to style the entire layer. 15 00:00:30.06 --> 00:00:33.01 And so one way to work is to return to the Layers panel, 16 00:00:33.01 --> 00:00:35.02 and twirl open that Type layer, 17 00:00:35.02 --> 00:00:37.03 which contains both of the polygons, 18 00:00:37.03 --> 00:00:39.09 as you can see represented as Compound Paths, 19 00:00:39.09 --> 00:00:42.00 as well as the text. 20 00:00:42.00 --> 00:00:43.08 Then what you wanna do is grab 21 00:00:43.08 --> 00:00:46.01 that circular meatball right there, 22 00:00:46.01 --> 00:00:48.02 which appears sculptured because it has 23 00:00:48.02 --> 00:00:50.02 dynamic effects assigned to it. 24 00:00:50.02 --> 00:00:53.01 And then you wanna go ahead and drag it and drop it 25 00:00:53.01 --> 00:00:55.02 on to the circle for the layer 26 00:00:55.02 --> 00:00:57.04 in order to produce this effect. 27 00:00:57.04 --> 00:01:00.04 The problem is that while we move the attributes 28 00:01:00.04 --> 00:01:02.01 as well as the dynamic effects, 29 00:01:02.01 --> 00:01:05.02 which you can confirm by targeting the layer, 30 00:01:05.02 --> 00:01:06.04 which you do by clicking on 31 00:01:06.04 --> 00:01:08.01 that circular so-called meatball. 32 00:01:08.01 --> 00:01:09.09 Then, switch to the Appearance panel 33 00:01:09.09 --> 00:01:12.07 at which point you'll see all of your effects. 34 00:01:12.07 --> 00:01:14.07 We've got the Offset Path at the top, 35 00:01:14.07 --> 00:01:16.01 followed by Pucker & Bloat, 36 00:01:16.01 --> 00:01:17.02 and then way down here at the bottom 37 00:01:17.02 --> 00:01:19.01 is the final Transform effect. 38 00:01:19.01 --> 00:01:20.06 That's where you need it to be by the way, 39 00:01:20.06 --> 00:01:24.00 so that it controls all the Fill and Stroke attributes, 40 00:01:24.00 --> 00:01:26.09 because if you move it up everything will fall apart. 41 00:01:26.09 --> 00:01:29.01 But our problem is that our text, 42 00:01:29.01 --> 00:01:31.06 which I'll select by first deselecting everything 43 00:01:31.06 --> 00:01:33.00 by pressing Control + Shift + A, 44 00:01:33.00 --> 00:01:34.05 or Command + Shift + A on a Mac, 45 00:01:34.05 --> 00:01:36.06 and then clicking on my text. 46 00:01:36.06 --> 00:01:38.00 You can see that it still has 47 00:01:38.00 --> 00:01:39.07 its Fill and Stroke attributes. 48 00:01:39.07 --> 00:01:41.05 And so what I would need to do is 49 00:01:41.05 --> 00:01:43.01 here in the Appearance panel, click on 50 00:01:43.01 --> 00:01:45.05 the flyout menu icon and choose Clear Appearance 51 00:01:45.05 --> 00:01:48.05 in order to make everything look the way it should. 52 00:01:48.05 --> 00:01:50.05 Or I could work in the opposite direction. 53 00:01:50.05 --> 00:01:53.09 So, for example, I could press Control + Z, or Command + Z 54 00:01:53.09 --> 00:01:56.08 on the Mac, a couple of times in order 55 00:01:56.08 --> 00:01:59.02 to return to the text with the gray polygons, 56 00:01:59.02 --> 00:02:00.09 and then I could select the text, 57 00:02:00.09 --> 00:02:02.09 go to the Appearance panel flyout menu, 58 00:02:02.09 --> 00:02:04.06 and choose Clear Appearance. 59 00:02:04.06 --> 00:02:07.03 And then, return to my Layers panel 60 00:02:07.03 --> 00:02:09.09 and target the layer once again. 61 00:02:09.09 --> 00:02:12.09 And this time, instead of moving any effects around, 62 00:02:12.09 --> 00:02:14.08 I'll go up to the Graphic Styles panel 63 00:02:14.08 --> 00:02:17.08 and I'll click on my scalloped style. 64 00:02:17.08 --> 00:02:20.05 And as you can see, that does everything we want it to. 65 00:02:20.05 --> 00:02:24.05 And, by the way, my Compound Paths here by polygons, 66 00:02:24.05 --> 00:02:26.00 if I were to target one of them 67 00:02:26.00 --> 00:02:27.07 and switch back to the Appearance panel, 68 00:02:27.07 --> 00:02:31.00 I'll see that they each still have their Transform effects. 69 00:02:31.00 --> 00:02:32.07 And so if I click on the word Transform, 70 00:02:32.07 --> 00:02:36.00 you can see the Horizontal Scale value is set to 100%, 71 00:02:36.00 --> 00:02:38.09 and the Vertical Scale value is set to 150%. 72 00:02:38.09 --> 00:02:41.08 So this way, we're not wiping out that Transform effect 73 00:02:41.08 --> 00:02:43.07 with another one, we're just supplying them 74 00:02:43.07 --> 00:02:45.02 on top of each other. 75 00:02:45.02 --> 00:02:47.04 Now, the reason this is a great way to work, 76 00:02:47.04 --> 00:02:49.05 I'll go ahead and switch back to my Layers panel, 77 00:02:49.05 --> 00:02:51.05 and target the entire layer once again, 78 00:02:51.05 --> 00:02:53.09 is that, notice what happens here. 79 00:02:53.09 --> 00:02:57.08 I can see an outline around this scalloped style, 80 00:02:57.08 --> 00:03:01.06 and that tells me that I have a link to that style. 81 00:03:01.06 --> 00:03:04.01 And so if I were to ever update the style, 82 00:03:04.01 --> 00:03:07.07 then the contents of this layer would update along with. 83 00:03:07.07 --> 00:03:10.01 But you may wonder how in the world to pull that off. 84 00:03:10.01 --> 00:03:12.07 Because notice, if you double-click 85 00:03:12.07 --> 00:03:15.03 on this scalloped thumbnail right there, 86 00:03:15.03 --> 00:03:17.02 you bring up the Graphic Style Options dialog box, 87 00:03:17.02 --> 00:03:20.02 which allows you to rename a style, but that's it. 88 00:03:20.02 --> 00:03:23.07 It doesn't give you any direct editing capabilities. 89 00:03:23.07 --> 00:03:25.06 Which tells me I have a link to that style, 90 00:03:25.06 --> 00:03:28.00 and so if I ever update the style, 91 00:03:28.00 --> 00:03:31.03 then I'll update the contents of this layer as well. 92 00:03:31.03 --> 00:03:33.02 Compare that, if you will, to what happens 93 00:03:33.02 --> 00:03:36.02 if I click on the rectangle in the background. 94 00:03:36.02 --> 00:03:39.09 Even though I had originally applied this Jive_GS style 95 00:03:39.09 --> 00:03:43.04 to it in the first place, because I went ahead and changed, 96 00:03:43.04 --> 00:03:45.01 as I'll see here in the Appearance panel, 97 00:03:45.01 --> 00:03:49.02 this bottom fill to yellow, I ultimately broke the link. 98 00:03:49.02 --> 00:03:51.03 And so if I want to re-establish that link, 99 00:03:51.03 --> 00:03:54.09 what I have to do is, once again, click on that style 100 00:03:54.09 --> 00:03:56.06 in order to select it. 101 00:03:56.06 --> 00:03:59.03 And so at this point, you may wonder, well how in the world 102 00:03:59.03 --> 00:04:00.07 do you update a style? 103 00:04:00.07 --> 00:04:03.07 Because after all, if you double-click on one of these guys, 104 00:04:03.07 --> 00:04:07.07 then all you can do is change its name and nothing more. 105 00:04:07.07 --> 00:04:10.02 Which is why I'm gonna show you how to update 106 00:04:10.02 --> 00:04:12.00 one or more Graphic Styles, 107 00:04:12.00 --> 00:04:15.01 and in turn update the objects linked to them, 108 00:04:15.01 --> 00:04:17.00 in the very next movie.
