1
00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.05
- In this movie we're going to add

2
00:00:01.05 --> 00:00:03.07
a giant circle around the star

3
00:00:03.07 --> 00:00:05.04
and we're also going to color in each one

4
00:00:05.04 --> 00:00:07.08
of these circles at the stars point.

5
00:00:07.08 --> 00:00:08.08
And along the way,

6
00:00:08.08 --> 00:00:10.09
I'll show you a different
way to color shapes

7
00:00:10.09 --> 00:00:12.08
using the Shape Builder Tool.

8
00:00:12.08 --> 00:00:14.07
And so I'll go ahead and switch over to

9
00:00:14.07 --> 00:00:16.07
my document so far

10
00:00:16.07 --> 00:00:18.09
and I'm going to draw a
couple of circles here.

11
00:00:18.09 --> 00:00:20.02
And I'm going to press the Alt key,

12
00:00:20.02 --> 00:00:21.06
or the Option key on the Mac,

13
00:00:21.06 --> 00:00:23.00
and click at the intersection of those

14
00:00:23.00 --> 00:00:24.06
two center guides to bring up the

15
00:00:24.06 --> 00:00:26.04
Ellipse dialog box, and I'm going to

16
00:00:26.04 --> 00:00:28.03
change each one of these values,

17
00:00:28.03 --> 00:00:29.04
the Width and Height values,

18
00:00:29.04 --> 00:00:32.00
to 600 points, and click Okay.

19
00:00:32.00 --> 00:00:33.05
And that goes ahead and creates a circle

20
00:00:33.05 --> 00:00:35.00
from the center outward.

21
00:00:35.00 --> 00:00:38.00
And then I'll Alt, or Option click again

22
00:00:38.00 --> 00:00:40.01
in order to revisit
the Ellipse dialog box.

23
00:00:40.01 --> 00:00:42.03
I'm going to turn on the
link this time around,

24
00:00:42.03 --> 00:00:44.02
because the values are the same,

25
00:00:44.02 --> 00:00:46.06
and I'll change the Width value to 550

26
00:00:46.06 --> 00:00:48.02
and that will change the
Height value, as well,

27
00:00:48.02 --> 00:00:50.00
and then click Okay.

28
00:00:50.00 --> 00:00:51.05
All right and now let's go ahead and join

29
00:00:51.05 --> 00:00:52.07
these shapes together by first

30
00:00:52.07 --> 00:00:54.03
switching to the black arrow tool,

31
00:00:54.03 --> 00:00:56.07
which of course you can
get by pressing the V key.

32
00:00:56.07 --> 00:00:58.07
And then I'll Shift on the outside circle

33
00:00:58.07 --> 00:01:01.00
and I'll go ahead and select
the Shape Builder Tool.

34
00:01:01.00 --> 00:01:03.03
And then I want you to
press the Enter key,

35
00:01:03.03 --> 00:01:04.08
or the Return key on the Mac,

36
00:01:04.08 --> 00:01:07.04
to bring up the Shape
Builder Options dialog box.

37
00:01:07.04 --> 00:01:09.06
And let's change Pick Color From

38
00:01:09.06 --> 00:01:12.00
to Color Swatches, like so,

39
00:01:12.00 --> 00:01:15.00
and then turn on the
Cursor Swatch preview.

40
00:01:15.00 --> 00:01:16.09
And next, click Okay,

41
00:01:16.09 --> 00:01:19.09
and you will see a little
preview of your color swatches

42
00:01:19.09 --> 00:01:22.06
above your cursor, at
which point you want to

43
00:01:22.06 --> 00:01:25.03
press the right arrow
a key a bunch of times

44
00:01:25.03 --> 00:01:27.08
until you come up with
that light shade of orange

45
00:01:27.08 --> 00:01:29.01
right there.

46
00:01:29.01 --> 00:01:31.07
And you also see it highlight
inside the Swatches Panel,

47
00:01:31.07 --> 00:01:35.08
it's R251, G176, B59.

48
00:01:35.08 --> 00:01:39.04
And now what you want to do
is just click in this ring

49
00:01:39.04 --> 00:01:41.06
right there and that will divide it off

50
00:01:41.06 --> 00:01:43.05
and color it, as well.

51
00:01:43.05 --> 00:01:45.01
And then press the Alt key,

52
00:01:45.01 --> 00:01:46.05
or the Option key on the Mac,

53
00:01:46.05 --> 00:01:48.04
and click inside the circle

54
00:01:48.04 --> 00:01:50.08
in order to get rid of that area.

55
00:01:50.08 --> 00:01:52.06
And now just go ahead and press the V key

56
00:01:52.06 --> 00:01:54.05
to switch back to the black arrow tool.

57
00:01:54.05 --> 00:01:55.09
The shape should be selected,

58
00:01:55.09 --> 00:01:58.05
in which case, go ahead and drag it down

59
00:01:58.05 --> 00:02:00.06
to the Main Star layer, like so,

60
00:02:00.06 --> 00:02:01.08
here inside the Layers Panel.

61
00:02:01.08 --> 00:02:05.06
And then right click
on it, choose Arrange,

62
00:02:05.06 --> 00:02:08.04
and choose Send to Back
in order to send it

63
00:02:08.04 --> 00:02:10.06
in back of that star.

64
00:02:10.06 --> 00:02:12.07
And now you want to switch
to the Appearance Panel,

65
00:02:12.07 --> 00:02:14.06
which in my case is right next door to

66
00:02:14.06 --> 00:02:16.09
the Layers Panel, so I'll
go ahead and click on it.

67
00:02:16.09 --> 00:02:18.03
And I'm going to change the Stroke color

68
00:02:18.03 --> 00:02:20.02
to that dark brown, once again,

69
00:02:20.02 --> 00:02:23.01
R66, G33, B11.

70
00:02:23.01 --> 00:02:25.07
I'll go ahead and change the
Lineweight to four points,

71
00:02:25.07 --> 00:02:29.05
and I'll drag the stroke
below the fill, like so,

72
00:02:29.05 --> 00:02:31.04
in order to produce this effect.

73
00:02:31.04 --> 00:02:33.04
All right, now let's add a dotted border

74
00:02:33.04 --> 00:02:36.01
by once again getting the Ellipse Tool.

75
00:02:36.01 --> 00:02:38.04
And I'm going to again, Alt click,

76
00:02:38.04 --> 00:02:41.01
or Option click at the
intersection of those two guides.

77
00:02:41.01 --> 00:02:44.05
And this time I'm going to
set the Width value to 575,

78
00:02:44.05 --> 00:02:46.00
the two values are still linked,

79
00:02:46.00 --> 00:02:47.09
so that changes the Height value, as well.

80
00:02:47.09 --> 00:02:49.04
I'll go ahead and click Okay

81
00:02:49.04 --> 00:02:51.07
in order to accept that change, and I'm

82
00:02:51.07 --> 00:02:54.04
going to get rid of the fill
up here in the Control Panel

83
00:02:54.04 --> 00:02:56.02
by getting rid on that first swatch

84
00:02:56.02 --> 00:02:57.06
and changing it to None.

85
00:02:57.06 --> 00:03:00.00
And then I'm going to change
the color of the stroke

86
00:03:00.00 --> 00:03:01.04
to this brightest Brass color

87
00:03:01.04 --> 00:03:05.02
which is C0, M5, Y15, K4.

88
00:03:05.02 --> 00:03:06.05
And I'll increase the Lineweight value

89
00:03:06.05 --> 00:03:09.00
to 16 points, like so.

90
00:03:09.00 --> 00:03:11.00
And again, we need to move this guy back,

91
00:03:11.00 --> 00:03:13.01
so this time I'm just
going to press Control X,

92
00:03:13.01 --> 00:03:16.00
or Command X on the
Mac, to cut up the shape

93
00:03:16.00 --> 00:03:17.04
and then I'll press the V key

94
00:03:17.04 --> 00:03:18.07
to switch to the black arrow tool

95
00:03:18.07 --> 00:03:21.00
and I'll click on that ring right there

96
00:03:21.00 --> 00:03:24.04
and press Control F,
or Command F on the Mac

97
00:03:24.04 --> 00:03:27.06
in order to paste the new
shape directly in front of it.

98
00:03:27.06 --> 00:03:30.03
All right, I'm looking for a
dotted stroke this time, and I

99
00:03:30.03 --> 00:03:33.03
want a total of 36 dots around
the entire circumference

100
00:03:33.03 --> 00:03:36.08
of this circle, so I once
again went to the Circumference

101
00:03:36.08 --> 00:03:40.07
Calculator, and I dialed
in half of our diameter,

102
00:03:40.07 --> 00:03:44.05
which is 287.5, incidentally,

103
00:03:44.05 --> 00:03:46.07
I just figured that out on the calculator.

104
00:03:46.07 --> 00:03:48.04
And as soon as I hit Calculate,

105
00:03:48.04 --> 00:03:49.09
I get this big value right here,

106
00:03:49.09 --> 00:03:52.01
I'm just going to select everything up

107
00:03:52.01 --> 00:03:54.05
to the first three decimals deep,

108
00:03:54.05 --> 00:03:56.07
and press Control C,
or Command C on the Mac

109
00:03:56.07 --> 00:03:58.02
to copy that value.

110
00:03:58.02 --> 00:04:00.00
And then I'll go back to Illustrator,

111
00:04:00.00 --> 00:04:01.05
click on the word Stroke,

112
00:04:01.05 --> 00:04:03.07
go ahead and turn on your Round Cap

113
00:04:03.07 --> 00:04:05.03
and then click on the dash line check box.

114
00:04:05.03 --> 00:04:07.02
You want the Dash to be zero points

115
00:04:07.02 --> 00:04:08.09
and then you want the Gap to be that value

116
00:04:08.09 --> 00:04:13.00
you just copied divided, so slash 36,

117
00:04:13.00 --> 00:04:14.01
and then press the Tab key

118
00:04:14.01 --> 00:04:18.02
and that gives us a Gap value of 50.178.

119
00:04:18.02 --> 00:04:21.00
And it's okay to leave this
preserve icon turned on.

120
00:04:21.00 --> 00:04:22.08
After which point just
press the Enter key,

121
00:04:22.08 --> 00:04:24.02
or the Return key on the Mac,

122
00:04:24.02 --> 00:04:25.08
then go over here to the Appearance Panel,

123
00:04:25.08 --> 00:04:28.00
click on that Stroke to make it active,

124
00:04:28.00 --> 00:04:30.06
and click on the little page
icon at the bottom of the panel

125
00:04:30.06 --> 00:04:34.06
to make a copy of it and then
change the color to this guy,

126
00:04:34.06 --> 00:04:40.04
C0, M19, Y54, K8, in
order to darken things up.

127
00:04:40.04 --> 00:04:42.03
And now go ahead and
reduce the Lineweight value

128
00:04:42.03 --> 00:04:45.04
to just 12 points, like so.

129
00:04:45.04 --> 00:04:46.09
All right, now I want
you to add a drop shadow

130
00:04:46.09 --> 00:04:49.01
to these elements so
that you can gain access

131
00:04:49.01 --> 00:04:52.00
to this Main Star layer, click
in its upper right corner

132
00:04:52.00 --> 00:04:55.00
in order to select all three
of the shapes on that layer,

133
00:04:55.00 --> 00:04:57.03
and then I want you to
go up to the Effect menu,

134
00:04:57.03 --> 00:05:00.04
choose Stylize, and choose Drop Shadow.

135
00:05:00.04 --> 00:05:02.08
After which point you can
enter these values right here,

136
00:05:02.08 --> 00:05:05.01
so we got an Opacity of 75%,

137
00:05:05.01 --> 00:05:06.09
the X offset is negative five,

138
00:05:06.09 --> 00:05:09.04
both the Y Offset and the
Blur, are positive five.

139
00:05:09.04 --> 00:05:10.08
If you want to see what that looks like

140
00:05:10.08 --> 00:05:12.00
turn on the Preview check box

141
00:05:12.00 --> 00:05:14.06
and you'll end up with
this result right here,

142
00:05:14.06 --> 00:05:16.01
after which point you can click Okay

143
00:05:16.01 --> 00:05:18.07
in order to apply that drop shadow,

144
00:05:18.07 --> 00:05:21.06
and then click off the
shapes to deselect them.

145
00:05:21.06 --> 00:05:23.01
And that's how you create the big circle

146
00:05:23.01 --> 00:05:24.08
and ornaments around the star,

147
00:05:24.08 --> 00:05:27.03
as well as how you modify
the color of the shape

148
00:05:27.03 --> 00:05:31.00
as you're creating it using
the Shape Builder Tool.
