00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.07

- [Voiceover] In this

movie, I'll share with you



2

00:00:01.07 --> 00:00:04.04

a little technique for

adding some detail to a



3

00:00:04.04 --> 00:00:06.00

Pucker and Bloat effect.



4

00:00:06.00 --> 00:00:09.04

And so notice that we have

have eight scallops around



5

00:00:09.04 --> 00:00:10.09

the outside of this O,



6

00:00:10.09 --> 00:00:13.09

but we only have four on the inside.



7

00:00:13.09 --> 00:00:16.09

I wanna have a total of

eight on the inside as well,



8

00:00:16.09 --> 00:00:19.08

plus I want some more

definition on the left edge



9

00:00:19.08 --> 00:00:24.00

of the B, and the E, and

over on both sides of the Y.



10

00:00:24.00 --> 00:00:25.06

And you can do that by adding



11

00:00:25.06 --> 00:00:27.07

and slightly nudging anchor points.



12

00:00:27.07 --> 00:00:30.09

But first, notice these

black edges right here,



13

00:00:30.09 --> 00:00:33.00

inside the final effect.



14

00:00:33.00 --> 00:00:34.09

They're kind of blued in this effect here.



15

00:00:34.09 --> 00:00:36.07

They're too thick, notice that?



16

00:00:36.07 --> 00:00:38.04

But that is not a problem,



17

00:00:38.04 --> 00:00:40.09

because I can modify the effect and update



18

00:00:40.09 --> 00:00:43.07

that graphic style, as

I showed you earlier.



19

00:00:43.07 --> 00:00:44.06

And you do that, once again,



20

00:00:44.06 --> 00:00:47.01

by pressing Control +

Shift + A, very important.



21

00:00:47.01 --> 00:00:48.06

Command + Shift + A on the Mac.



22

00:00:48.06 --> 00:00:50.04

You wanna make sure nothing is selected.



23

00:00:50.04 --> 00:00:53.05

You should be seeing all of those strokes,



24

00:00:53.05 --> 00:00:56.04

along with Zig Zag, and

Roughen, and so forth.



25

00:00:56.04 --> 00:00:58.05

If you're not, you can

just go ahead and click



26

00:00:58.05 --> 00:00:59.09

on that final effect,



27

00:00:59.09 --> 00:01:03.00

which in my case is called

Final multiline effect,



28

00:01:03.00 --> 00:01:05.07

in order to apply it to nothing.



29

00:01:05.07 --> 00:01:07.09

And now, it's this

stroke that's a problem.



30

00:01:07.09 --> 00:01:10.07

So, go ahead and click

on the 18 point stroke.



31

00:01:10.07 --> 00:01:13.07

It really ought to be 13 points thick,



32

00:01:13.07 --> 00:01:16.02

and so, I'll just go ahead

and change the line weight



33

00:01:16.02 --> 00:01:17.08

to 13 point like so,



34

00:01:17.08 --> 00:01:20.03

and now, all you need

to do is click on that



35

00:01:20.03 --> 00:01:22.07

fly out menu icon, in the top right corner



36

00:01:22.07 --> 00:01:23.07

of the Appearance panel,



37

00:01:23.07 --> 00:01:25.07

and choose Redefine Graphic Style,



38

00:01:25.07 --> 00:01:28.05

in my case final multiline effect,



39

00:01:28.05 --> 00:01:30.07

and that'll go ahead and

update both the effect



40

00:01:30.07 --> 00:01:32.07

and your artwork.



41

00:01:32.07 --> 00:01:35.00

Alright, now what we wanna

do is select the text,



42

00:01:35.00 --> 00:01:37.03

but I can't get to it,

because that layer's locked,



43

00:01:37.03 --> 00:01:40.04

so I'll switch back to my Layers

panel and unlock that layer



44

00:01:40.04 --> 00:01:43.00

and I'm gonna go ahead

and twirl it open as well,



45

00:01:43.00 --> 00:01:45.04

and that way, I can just target the text,



46

00:01:45.04 --> 00:01:47.02

so that there's less ambiguity,



47

00:01:47.02 --> 00:01:49.06

and you can see that it's

now selected on screen.



48

00:01:49.06 --> 00:01:51.00

And so, I'll go up to the Object menu



49

00:01:51.00 --> 00:01:54.00

and choose the Copy command,

or you can press Control + C,



50

00:01:54.00 --> 00:01:55.05

or Command + C on a Mac,



51

00:01:55.05 --> 00:01:58.00

and I'll turn off the

original, just to protect it,



52

00:01:58.00 --> 00:02:01.04

and I'll return to the Edit

menu and choose Paste in Front,



53

00:02:01.04 --> 00:02:04.01

or press Control + F,

or Command + F on a Mac,



54

00:02:04.01 --> 00:02:06.08

in order to paste the text

to the front of the stack,



55

00:02:06.08 --> 00:02:08.05

which is gonna work out just great,



56

00:02:08.05 --> 00:02:11.00

because we're gonna convert

the text to outlines



57

00:02:11.00 --> 00:02:14.09

by going to the Type menu

and choosing Create Outlines,



58

00:02:14.09 --> 00:02:16.06

or you can press a keyboard shortcut of



59

00:02:16.06 --> 00:02:19.09

Control + Shift + O, or

Command + Shift + O on a Mac.



60

00:02:19.09 --> 00:02:22.05

Now, because we've applied

so many dynamic effects,



61

00:02:22.05 --> 00:02:24.04

it's pretty difficult to

tell what in the world



62

00:02:24.04 --> 00:02:25.08

is going on here.



63

00:02:25.08 --> 00:02:28.05

So, what I recommend you

do is press Control + Y,



64

00:02:28.05 --> 00:02:30.03

or Command + Y on a Mac,



65

00:02:30.03 --> 00:02:32.02

to switch to the Outline mode.



66

00:02:32.02 --> 00:02:35.00

And then, go ahead and

press the A key in order



67

00:02:35.00 --> 00:02:36.08

to switch to the Wide Arrow tool,



68

00:02:36.08 --> 00:02:39.04

click off your path

outlines to deselect them,



69

00:02:39.04 --> 00:02:42.07

and just click anywhere

on this path outline



70

00:02:42.07 --> 00:02:44.04

to select any part of it.



71

00:02:44.04 --> 00:02:45.05

It doesn't matter which.



72

00:02:45.05 --> 00:02:48.08

Then, go up to the

Object menu, choose Path,



73

00:02:48.08 --> 00:02:51.08

and choose Add Anchor Points

to double the number of



74

00:02:51.08 --> 00:02:54.00

anchor points in this path outline.



75

00:02:54.00 --> 00:02:57.01

And now, if you press Control

+ Y, or Command + Y on a Mac,



76

00:02:57.01 --> 00:02:59.01

in order to switch back

to the preview mode,



77

00:02:59.01 --> 00:03:01.05

you can see that we

now have eight scallops



78

00:03:01.05 --> 00:03:03.09

where previously we had four.



79

00:03:03.09 --> 00:03:06.03

Now, why four points

creates eight scallops



80

00:03:06.03 --> 00:03:09.00

on the outside but only four

on the in, I don't know,



81

00:03:09.00 --> 00:03:12.01

but this does happen

to be a great solution.



82

00:03:12.01 --> 00:03:14.07

Alright, now press Control +

Y, or Command + Y on a Mac,



83

00:03:14.07 --> 00:03:17.05

in order to switch back

to the Outline mode,



84

00:03:17.05 --> 00:03:19.06

and I'll click on a path

outline around the B



85

00:03:19.06 --> 00:03:22.04

to select it, and then I'll

press the P key in order to



86

00:03:22.04 --> 00:03:23.09

bring up my pen tool,



87

00:03:23.09 --> 00:03:28.01

and I'm going to bring

back my guides by clicking



88

00:03:28.01 --> 00:03:30.05

on the eye in front of the guides layer,



89

00:03:30.05 --> 00:03:33.01

and I'd really like to be able

to see my guides as guides,



90

00:03:33.01 --> 00:03:37.04

so I'm gonna Control + click,

or Command + click on that eye



91

00:03:37.04 --> 00:03:40.02

in order to view the guides like so,



92

00:03:40.02 --> 00:03:43.03

and that happens to also

bring back some scalloping,



93

00:03:43.03 --> 00:03:44.09

but what we wanna do here



94

00:03:44.09 --> 00:03:47.03

is with this portion of the B selected,



95

00:03:47.03 --> 00:03:50.03

go ahead and click right

there to add an anchor point,



96

00:03:50.03 --> 00:03:53.09

and then, press the left

arrow key a couple of times,



97

00:03:53.09 --> 00:03:57.09

and you'll see that

scalloping applied on the fly.



98

00:03:57.09 --> 00:03:59.07

That is amazing!



99

00:03:59.07 --> 00:04:01.08

Alright, let's move over to the E,



100

00:04:01.08 --> 00:04:03.08

and press the Control key,

or the Command key on a Mac



101

00:04:03.08 --> 00:04:06.07

to temporarily access the

white arrow tool and click on



102

00:04:06.07 --> 00:04:08.01

the outline of that E,



103

00:04:08.01 --> 00:04:11.05

and then click right there with

the pen tool to add a point,



104

00:04:11.05 --> 00:04:14.02

and press the left arrow

key a couple of times



105

00:04:14.02 --> 00:04:15.06

to nudge it outward.



106

00:04:15.06 --> 00:04:17.07

I'm delight by this because

I've never seen this behavior



107

00:04:17.07 --> 00:04:18.06

before in my life.



108

00:04:18.06 --> 00:04:21.03

Now, I'll Control +

click, or Command + click



109

00:04:21.03 --> 00:04:22.08

on the outline of the Y,



110

00:04:22.08 --> 00:04:24.07

and I wanna create points

that are inline with



111

00:04:24.07 --> 00:04:26.00

these two points right here,



112

00:04:26.00 --> 00:04:27.05

but I'm just gonna eyeball it.



113

00:04:27.05 --> 00:04:29.03

I don't need a guideline or anything.



114

00:04:29.03 --> 00:04:31.00

Just make sure your pen tool cursor has a



115

00:04:31.00 --> 00:04:32.05

plus sign in front of it,



116

00:04:32.05 --> 00:04:34.06

so that you know that you're

adding an anchor point,



117

00:04:34.06 --> 00:04:36.07

and click on that segment right there,



118

00:04:36.07 --> 00:04:40.00

and press the left arrow

key a couple of times



119

00:04:40.00 --> 00:04:41.01

to move it out,



120

00:04:41.01 --> 00:04:44.06

and then go ahead and click

on this right hand segment,



121

00:04:44.06 --> 00:04:46.07

even in line, just eyeballing it is fine,



122

00:04:46.07 --> 00:04:48.09

especially since we're

rotating it on the fly,



123

00:04:48.09 --> 00:04:51.06

and then click right there in

order to add an anchor point,



124

00:04:51.06 --> 00:04:54.03

and press the right arrow

key a couple of times.



125

00:04:54.03 --> 00:04:57.01

Alright now, press Control

+ O, or Command + O on a Mac



126

00:04:57.01 --> 00:04:58.02

to zoom out.



127

00:04:58.02 --> 00:04:59.07

Let's hide the Graphic Styles panel,



128

00:04:59.07 --> 00:05:01.03

because technically we're done with it.



129

00:05:01.03 --> 00:05:03.07

I'll press the V key to switch

back to my black arrow tool,



130

00:05:03.07 --> 00:05:06.07

and I'll press Control +

Y, or Command + Y on a Mac



131

00:05:06.07 --> 00:05:08.06

to switch back to the Preview mode,



132

00:05:08.06 --> 00:05:11.03

and I will turn off my guidelines as well,



133

00:05:11.03 --> 00:05:12.08

and I'll press Control + Shift + A,



134

00:05:12.08 --> 00:05:15.07

or Command + Shift + A on a

Mac so nothing is selected,



135

00:05:15.07 --> 00:05:18.09

and you can see we have new

barbs on either side of the Y,



136

00:05:18.09 --> 00:05:22.04

as well as on the back of

the E, this side of the B,



137

00:05:22.04 --> 00:05:26.09

and we've got eight scallops

on the inside of the O.



138

00:05:26.09 --> 00:05:30.02

And that's how you refine a

dynamic Pucker and Bloat effect,



139

00:05:30.02 --> 00:05:32.09

by adding anchor points

to your path outlines



140

00:05:32.09 --> 00:05:34.09

here inside Illustrator.
