1 00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.07 - [Man] Alright, our big letter z is 2 00:00:01.07 --> 00:00:03.01 looking pretty awesome. 3 00:00:03.01 --> 00:00:05.07 The only problem, potentially 4 00:00:05.07 --> 00:00:08.04 is that we don't have any caps. 5 00:00:08.04 --> 00:00:10.06 Either here at the beginning of the letter, 6 00:00:10.06 --> 00:00:12.01 or here at the end. 7 00:00:12.01 --> 00:00:14.04 It might be nice if we did. 8 00:00:14.04 --> 00:00:15.06 In which case we could create 9 00:00:15.06 --> 00:00:17.00 this effect right here. 10 00:00:17.00 --> 00:00:19.03 Where the lines wrap around. 11 00:00:19.03 --> 00:00:22.03 And this is a function of start and end tiles. 12 00:00:22.03 --> 00:00:25.02 That you can associate with any pattern brush. 13 00:00:25.02 --> 00:00:26.08 Problem is Illustrator doesn't help 14 00:00:26.08 --> 00:00:27.07 you with this one. 15 00:00:27.07 --> 00:00:29.03 You have to do it manually. 16 00:00:29.03 --> 00:00:32.07 And in our case it's going to be a fair amount of work. 17 00:00:32.07 --> 00:00:34.08 So, let's roll up our sleeves here. 18 00:00:34.08 --> 00:00:37.02 I'm going to turn off the Z and I'm going to 19 00:00:37.02 --> 00:00:39.01 turn on the expanded layer. 20 00:00:39.01 --> 00:00:41.00 I'm going to turn off the pattern layer as well 21 00:00:41.00 --> 00:00:43.08 just so we can focus in on what we're doing here. 22 00:00:43.08 --> 00:00:45.08 And I'm going to move these ... 23 00:00:45.08 --> 00:00:48.01 And I'm going to go ahead and grab this guy 24 00:00:48.01 --> 00:00:50.05 lets say, down here. 25 00:00:50.05 --> 00:00:52.06 So that he exists on a different row. 26 00:00:52.06 --> 00:00:55.06 And that'll just give us a little more control. 27 00:00:55.06 --> 00:00:56.08 Alright, now I'm going to click off 28 00:00:56.08 --> 00:00:58.06 the shapes to deselect them. 29 00:00:58.06 --> 00:01:01.01 Click on one of these black paths right there 30 00:01:01.01 --> 00:01:02.06 in order to select it. 31 00:01:02.06 --> 00:01:05.03 And I'm going to zoom in a little farther here 32 00:01:05.03 --> 00:01:07.09 and I'm going to grab this guy, this anchor point right here 33 00:01:07.09 --> 00:01:11.06 and drag it over until it snaps into alignment 34 00:01:11.06 --> 00:01:14.07 with its equivalent on the left side of the shape. 35 00:01:14.07 --> 00:01:17.01 And then I'll press and hold the shift and alt keys 36 00:01:17.01 --> 00:01:18.09 or shift and option on the Mac. 37 00:01:18.09 --> 00:01:22.04 In order to make a copy of those shapes, like so. 38 00:01:22.04 --> 00:01:25.04 And now, I'm going to rotate a copy by switching 39 00:01:25.04 --> 00:01:26.08 to the rotate tool. 40 00:01:26.08 --> 00:01:28.02 Then I'll just press the enter key 41 00:01:28.02 --> 00:01:29.07 or the return key on the Mac. 42 00:01:29.07 --> 00:01:31.07 I want the angle value to be 90 degrees 43 00:01:31.07 --> 00:01:34.06 and I'm going to click copy, like so. 44 00:01:34.06 --> 00:01:37.03 Alright, things are getting a little bit complicated here. 45 00:01:37.03 --> 00:01:38.09 I don't know why we have a group. 46 00:01:38.09 --> 00:01:40.00 Where did that come from? 47 00:01:40.00 --> 00:01:41.07 I'm going to press control, shift, G. 48 00:01:41.07 --> 00:01:44.05 Or command, shift, G on the Mac to ungroup these paths. 49 00:01:44.05 --> 00:01:46.04 And then I'll go to the object menu 50 00:01:46.04 --> 00:01:49.01 choose Compound Path and choose Make 51 00:01:49.01 --> 00:01:50.08 and that's going to make things better 52 00:01:50.08 --> 00:01:52.00 as we'll see in a moment. 53 00:01:52.00 --> 00:01:54.06 And also change the color of these paths 54 00:01:54.06 --> 00:01:57.03 to lets say, a shade of blue. 55 00:01:57.03 --> 00:01:59.08 Alright, now I've got to press the V key to 56 00:01:59.08 --> 00:02:01.04 switch back to the black arrow tool 57 00:02:01.04 --> 00:02:03.07 and select these guys, they're a group too. 58 00:02:03.07 --> 00:02:05.04 I have no idea where this came from. 59 00:02:05.04 --> 00:02:06.08 I'm going to press control, shift, G. 60 00:02:06.08 --> 00:02:09.02 Or command, shift, G on the Mac to ungroup 61 00:02:09.02 --> 00:02:13.01 and then I'll drop down to Compound Path and choose Make 62 00:02:13.01 --> 00:02:15.03 or I could press Control 8 in order to 63 00:02:15.03 --> 00:02:18.00 turn these guys into a single compound path. 64 00:02:18.00 --> 00:02:21.00 Now, this very important because now what we're going to do 65 00:02:21.00 --> 00:02:23.07 is shift click on the blue paths. 66 00:02:23.07 --> 00:02:26.04 Go to the window menu and choose Pathfinder 67 00:02:26.04 --> 00:02:28.04 to bring up the Pathfinder panel and click 68 00:02:28.04 --> 00:02:32.01 the first icon in the second row, Divide. 69 00:02:32.01 --> 00:02:34.08 Which is going to divide all these guys apart 70 00:02:34.08 --> 00:02:39.05 so that we can assemble them into that wrap around thing. 71 00:02:39.05 --> 00:02:41.04 Alright I'm going to hide the Pathfinder panel. 72 00:02:41.04 --> 00:02:42.09 We've got a group again. 73 00:02:42.09 --> 00:02:44.04 I'm going to press control, shift, G or 74 00:02:44.04 --> 00:02:47.06 command, shift, G on the Mac to ungroup these paths 75 00:02:47.06 --> 00:02:50.01 because we need them all to be independent. 76 00:02:50.01 --> 00:02:52.07 Alright, now what you want to do is very carefully 77 00:02:52.07 --> 00:02:55.04 marquee down this line of paths right here. 78 00:02:55.04 --> 00:02:58.08 Just get those anchor points, those far left anchor points. 79 00:02:58.08 --> 00:03:01.04 In order to select them independently of everything else 80 00:03:01.04 --> 00:03:03.02 and get rid of them and then do the 81 00:03:03.02 --> 00:03:06.05 same thing up top here and get rid of those and do 82 00:03:06.05 --> 00:03:10.09 the same thing down here at the bottom and get rid of those. 83 00:03:10.09 --> 00:03:14.05 Alright, here's where things get very tedious. 84 00:03:14.05 --> 00:03:16.02 Click here, shift click, shift click 85 00:03:16.02 --> 00:03:18.08 shift click, shift click, shift click 86 00:03:18.08 --> 00:03:22.06 because we can't just kind of drag through these 87 00:03:22.06 --> 00:03:25.02 things because they're all at weird angles. 88 00:03:25.02 --> 00:03:27.06 You have to shift click on the stuff that you don't want 89 00:03:27.06 --> 00:03:28.08 and then press the backspace key 90 00:03:28.08 --> 00:03:31.01 or the delete key on the Mac to get rid of them. 91 00:03:31.01 --> 00:03:33.09 And then we're going to do the same thing up here and 92 00:03:33.09 --> 00:03:36.04 so you just need to make sure you select everything 93 00:03:36.04 --> 00:03:39.00 you don't want and then press the backspace key 94 00:03:39.00 --> 00:03:41.06 or the delete key on the Mac to get rid of it. 95 00:03:41.06 --> 00:03:45.05 And we're going to do the same thing over here I'm afraid 96 00:03:45.05 --> 00:03:49.03 and then we need to backspace those. 97 00:03:49.03 --> 00:03:50.09 And so it's really just a matter of 98 00:03:50.09 --> 00:03:53.06 imagining what it is you don't want. 99 00:03:53.06 --> 00:03:56.07 Which can be confusing but I'm going to make quick 100 00:03:56.07 --> 00:04:00.07 work of it I hope here by selecting these guys here 101 00:04:00.07 --> 00:04:04.02 and I don't want to go all the way to the end. 102 00:04:04.02 --> 00:04:06.07 I want to select this guy but not this guy 103 00:04:06.07 --> 00:04:08.02 and then I'll press the backspace key 104 00:04:08.02 --> 00:04:10.06 or the delete key on the Mac to get rid of them. 105 00:04:10.06 --> 00:04:14.07 And I'll go ahead and select these guys like so 106 00:04:14.07 --> 00:04:19.09 and I'll backspace them away and I'll get these guys. 107 00:04:19.09 --> 00:04:24.00 Me and these guys, I'm going to be saying those words a lot 108 00:04:24.00 --> 00:04:26.04 because I really have to select a lot of 109 00:04:26.04 --> 00:04:28.09 different shapes to get rid of them. 110 00:04:28.09 --> 00:04:32.03 And the you go almost as far as that guy there and 111 00:04:32.03 --> 00:04:34.07 then you kind of retract back so you see 112 00:04:34.07 --> 00:04:36.08 how I'm whittling my way inward. 113 00:04:36.08 --> 00:04:40.07 And I'm going to select these guys all the way to the end. 114 00:04:40.07 --> 00:04:42.09 Right there, and then I'll press backspace 115 00:04:42.09 --> 00:04:45.06 or delete to get rid of them. 116 00:04:45.06 --> 00:04:48.04 And I'll select these four guys right there. 117 00:04:48.04 --> 00:04:52.01 Actually these five guys, these six guys, him too. 118 00:04:52.01 --> 00:04:55.08 And get rid of them, and then these guys want to go away. 119 00:04:55.08 --> 00:04:59.00 But just four of them and I'll press backspace or 120 00:04:59.00 --> 00:05:01.01 delete to get rid of those guys and I'll get rid 121 00:05:01.01 --> 00:05:04.07 of these two, so I'm clicking and I'm shift clicking. 122 00:05:04.07 --> 00:05:06.04 Oops! I moved them and I don't 123 00:05:06.04 --> 00:05:08.02 care because they're going away. 124 00:05:08.02 --> 00:05:12.03 And now I'll go ahead and grab these guys up to here 125 00:05:12.03 --> 00:05:15.07 and get rid of those and right through the center 126 00:05:15.07 --> 00:05:19.09 we need these guys to be well disposed of, goodbye. 127 00:05:19.09 --> 00:05:22.03 And it looks like I went too far, I'll undo that. 128 00:05:22.03 --> 00:05:24.01 I want to keep that guy, I love him. 129 00:05:24.01 --> 00:05:26.01 And I'll press the backspace key or the delete key 130 00:05:26.01 --> 00:05:28.04 on the Mac to get rid of those and I'll select 131 00:05:28.04 --> 00:05:31.01 these two guys and press backspace for delete. 132 00:05:31.01 --> 00:05:34.02 Ha, see isn't that fun? Drawing is fun! 133 00:05:34.02 --> 00:05:37.06 Art's great, anyway I'm going to select all these 134 00:05:37.06 --> 00:05:41.05 paths right there like so and then I'm going to bring 135 00:05:41.05 --> 00:05:45.08 up the Pathfinder panel again and I'll click Unite 136 00:05:45.08 --> 00:05:49.02 in order to fuse them together and they'll all turn blue. 137 00:05:49.02 --> 00:05:51.02 And by the way, you may find that you have some 138 00:05:51.02 --> 00:05:54.00 transparent paths in there that you need to get rid of. 139 00:05:54.00 --> 00:05:56.08 I don't, I should have told you this in advance 140 00:05:56.08 --> 00:05:58.00 because I clicked on the fly out menu 141 00:05:58.00 --> 00:06:00.08 icon, chose pathfinder options 142 00:06:00.08 --> 00:06:03.01 and I turned on both of these check boxes. 143 00:06:03.01 --> 00:06:05.02 Remove Redundant Points and Divide 144 00:06:05.02 --> 00:06:07.09 and Outline Will Remove Unpainted Artwork. 145 00:06:07.09 --> 00:06:10.02 If you didn't do that, you're going to have some transparent 146 00:06:10.02 --> 00:06:12.08 stuff that'll you'll need to delete but all you need 147 00:06:12.08 --> 00:06:15.02 to do is select one of the transparent paths 148 00:06:15.02 --> 00:06:17.08 come up to this guy, Select Similar Objects. 149 00:06:17.08 --> 00:06:20.01 Click on it and then press backspace key or 150 00:06:20.01 --> 00:06:22.04 the delete key on the Mac to get rid of them. 151 00:06:22.04 --> 00:06:25.01 Alright, now this is still a group. 152 00:06:25.01 --> 00:06:27.08 What is going on, I don't want it to be a group. 153 00:06:27.08 --> 00:06:29.04 I'm going to press control, shift, G or 154 00:06:29.04 --> 00:06:31.05 command, shift, G on the Mac to ungroup. 155 00:06:31.05 --> 00:06:34.00 Oh, that's because I clicked on Unite. 156 00:06:34.00 --> 00:06:36.09 And then I'll change the color to black. 157 00:06:36.09 --> 00:06:40.02 And I really want these guys to be a Compound Path. 158 00:06:40.02 --> 00:06:43.02 Compound Paths are so much easier to work with when they 159 00:06:43.02 --> 00:06:45.08 all have the same fill and stroke attributes. 160 00:06:45.08 --> 00:06:48.03 And now we need to turn this guy into a pattern by 161 00:06:48.03 --> 00:06:50.05 going up to the Object menu, choosing 162 00:06:50.05 --> 00:06:52.03 Pattern and then choosing Make. 163 00:06:52.03 --> 00:06:54.07 Or is you loaded D keys you have that keyboard 164 00:06:54.07 --> 00:06:57.05 shortcut of control M or command M on the Mac. 165 00:06:57.05 --> 00:06:59.09 And even though this looks terrible 166 00:06:59.09 --> 00:07:01.04 this is exactly what we want. 167 00:07:01.04 --> 00:07:05.06 Just go ahead and call this start denim and then 168 00:07:05.06 --> 00:07:08.08 press the escape key in order to create a new swatch. 169 00:07:08.08 --> 00:07:12.00 And now lets go ahead and add it to the sea by pressing 170 00:07:12.00 --> 00:07:14.02 control 0 or command 0 on the Mac. 171 00:07:14.02 --> 00:07:16.06 I'll turn off the expanded layer, turn on the 172 00:07:16.06 --> 00:07:19.07 Z layer as well as the denim layer. 173 00:07:19.07 --> 00:07:23.00 And I'll bring up the brushes panel, scroll all the way to 174 00:07:23.00 --> 00:07:25.03 the bottom, double click on this guy 175 00:07:25.03 --> 00:07:27.04 and I will change my start tile. 176 00:07:27.04 --> 00:07:29.07 As you can see right here, we get a tool tip. 177 00:07:29.07 --> 00:07:33.02 I'll change it to start denim right there, and that'll 178 00:07:33.02 --> 00:07:35.09 add that little bit of denim to the 179 00:07:35.09 --> 00:07:37.08 beginning of the path outlined. 180 00:07:37.08 --> 00:07:39.06 Now the arrow indicated the end. 181 00:07:39.06 --> 00:07:42.02 Wouldn't it be wonderful if start denim 182 00:07:42.02 --> 00:07:44.00 worked at the end as well? 183 00:07:44.00 --> 00:07:46.05 Yeah but it doesn't, so anyway I'm going to go ahead 184 00:07:46.05 --> 00:07:48.04 and click okay to accept that change. 185 00:07:48.04 --> 00:07:50.05 Yes, I want to apply it to the strokes. 186 00:07:50.05 --> 00:07:53.09 And now notice that looks great at the beginning of the path 187 00:07:53.09 --> 00:07:57.09 and it looks completely wrong here at the end of the path. 188 00:07:57.09 --> 00:07:59.04 Go figure, and that's because we need 189 00:07:59.04 --> 00:08:02.04 to create a separate end tile. 190 00:08:02.04 --> 00:08:04.00 And I'm afraid it's the same thing. 191 00:08:04.00 --> 00:08:06.01 If you're looking forward to that, join me. 192 00:08:06.01 --> 00:08:08.03 I'm going to go ahead and turn on off the Z 193 00:08:08.03 --> 00:08:11.07 and the pattern and turn on the expanded item right there 194 00:08:11.07 --> 00:08:14.00 and I'm going to go ahead and grab these guys 195 00:08:14.00 --> 00:08:15.08 which are a group, darn it! 196 00:08:15.08 --> 00:08:18.02 Command, shift, G or control, shift, G on the Mac. 197 00:08:18.02 --> 00:08:22.05 Go to the Object menu, choose Compound Path and choose Make. 198 00:08:22.05 --> 00:08:25.05 And then, let's go ahead and zoom in here and we 199 00:08:25.05 --> 00:08:28.05 want to drag on of these guys by its anchor point. 200 00:08:28.05 --> 00:08:31.05 And drag it over here until it snaps into alignment. 201 00:08:31.05 --> 00:08:34.06 Press the shift and alt keys, shift and option on the Mac. 202 00:08:34.06 --> 00:08:38.06 In order to constrain the angle as well as create a copy. 203 00:08:38.06 --> 00:08:40.06 Go ahead and switch to the rotate tool. 204 00:08:40.06 --> 00:08:43.01 Press the enter key or the return key on the Mac to bring 205 00:08:43.01 --> 00:08:44.09 up that Rotate dialog box, the 206 00:08:44.09 --> 00:08:47.09 angle should still be 90 degrees, click copy. 207 00:08:47.09 --> 00:08:50.05 Let's go ahead and fill these guys, this time with green. 208 00:08:50.05 --> 00:08:52.06 Just so that we're having some fun. 209 00:08:52.06 --> 00:08:54.03 And then I'll press the V key to 210 00:08:54.03 --> 00:08:56.03 switch back to my black arrow tool. 211 00:08:56.03 --> 00:08:58.00 I'll shift click on the black lines. 212 00:08:58.00 --> 00:09:01.03 Bring up Pathfinder panel, definitely if you didn't do it 213 00:09:01.03 --> 00:09:03.02 before, click on the fly out menu icon 214 00:09:03.02 --> 00:09:06.03 and choose Pathfinder Options and at least turn on 215 00:09:06.03 --> 00:09:08.08 this second check box so that you don't have 216 00:09:08.08 --> 00:09:11.01 a bunch of transparent paths. 217 00:09:11.01 --> 00:09:15.04 And then click on Divide, the Divide icon right there. 218 00:09:15.04 --> 00:09:16.09 You're going to get a group cause 219 00:09:16.09 --> 00:09:18.07 Illustrator is so fond of them. 220 00:09:18.07 --> 00:09:20.02 So I'm going to go to the Object menu and choose 221 00:09:20.02 --> 00:09:22.05 Ungroup so I'm seeing just a bunch of paths. 222 00:09:22.05 --> 00:09:25.04 And now same thing, I'm going to marquee these guys 223 00:09:25.04 --> 00:09:27.09 in order to select them and get rid of them. 224 00:09:27.09 --> 00:09:30.06 Marquee just the tops of these guys, get rid of them. 225 00:09:30.06 --> 00:09:34.02 Marquee just the bottom of these guys and get rid of them. 226 00:09:34.02 --> 00:09:37.07 And now we want to do a bunch of clicking and shift clicking. 227 00:09:37.07 --> 00:09:40.02 So I'm going to grab these guys right here, and remember 228 00:09:40.02 --> 00:09:41.08 if you select too much you just 229 00:09:41.08 --> 00:09:43.08 shift click again to turn it off. 230 00:09:43.08 --> 00:09:47.03 And then we start one column in, so we want to 231 00:09:47.03 --> 00:09:50.02 go all the way to the end with these green guys. 232 00:09:50.02 --> 00:09:52.06 And the I skip another column to go in 233 00:09:52.06 --> 00:09:56.05 like so and I'll go ahead and select them. 234 00:09:56.05 --> 00:10:00.06 And then we skip in another column right here, I believe. 235 00:10:00.06 --> 00:10:02.02 Yes, I believe, yes this looks right to me. 236 00:10:02.02 --> 00:10:04.01 And I'll go ahead and select not him 237 00:10:04.01 --> 00:10:05.03 I want to leave him there. 238 00:10:05.03 --> 00:10:08.04 Select him and him and him 239 00:10:08.04 --> 00:10:11.04 and then do I keep going inward? 240 00:10:11.04 --> 00:10:14.03 I'm not sure at this point but I'll do it anyway. 241 00:10:14.03 --> 00:10:15.05 Can't harm anything. 242 00:10:15.05 --> 00:10:17.00 And I'll press the backspace key or 243 00:10:17.00 --> 00:10:19.09 the delete key on the Mac to get rid of all those guys. 244 00:10:19.09 --> 00:10:22.05 And now I'll select some of the black paths. 245 00:10:22.05 --> 00:10:25.03 Working my way vertically, I accidentally select that guy 246 00:10:25.03 --> 00:10:28.03 so I shift click to deselect him. 247 00:10:28.03 --> 00:10:31.03 And I want to work my way in once 248 00:10:31.03 --> 00:10:34.04 again but on both sides this time. 249 00:10:34.04 --> 00:10:37.04 And I don't want to make any mistakes so you know what 250 00:10:37.04 --> 00:10:40.00 I'm going to deselect him, I'm not sure about him. 251 00:10:40.00 --> 00:10:43.02 And I'll get rid of these guys like so. 252 00:10:43.02 --> 00:10:45.08 Why don't we work our way through the greens again 253 00:10:45.08 --> 00:10:48.02 cause they're a little easier to navigate. 254 00:10:48.02 --> 00:10:51.00 So I'll just shift click on all of these. 255 00:10:51.00 --> 00:10:54.07 I'll work through this way as well. 256 00:10:54.07 --> 00:10:56.09 Almost all the way to the end, like I'll go 257 00:10:56.09 --> 00:10:59.02 ahead and select that guy but no further. 258 00:10:59.02 --> 00:11:04.03 And then I'll select these guys, working my way inward. 259 00:11:04.03 --> 00:11:09.02 And I'll start over here and I'll select these guys 260 00:11:09.02 --> 00:11:13.05 by shift clicking on them in case you forgot, because 261 00:11:13.05 --> 00:11:15.01 it's really obvious by now what 262 00:11:15.01 --> 00:11:17.03 it is I'm trying to accomplish. 263 00:11:17.03 --> 00:11:21.03 And I'll shift click on these guys as well 264 00:11:21.03 --> 00:11:22.08 and I'll press the backspace key or the 265 00:11:22.08 --> 00:11:25.01 delete key on the Mac to get rid of them. 266 00:11:25.01 --> 00:11:29.01 Then I'll select these four guys and these two guys 267 00:11:29.01 --> 00:11:32.01 and I'll get rid of them and that looks beautiful. 268 00:11:32.01 --> 00:11:34.06 Alright, so now I'll zoom out a little bit. 269 00:11:34.06 --> 00:11:36.08 I'll go ahead and marquee all these shapes. 270 00:11:36.08 --> 00:11:39.02 Hopefully they're not groups for some reason. 271 00:11:39.02 --> 00:11:41.02 And then I'll bring up the Pathfinder panel 272 00:11:41.02 --> 00:11:46.00 and I'll click Unite, that will turn them into a group. 273 00:11:46.00 --> 00:11:48.07 So I'm going to press control, shift, G or command, shift, G 274 00:11:48.07 --> 00:11:50.04 on the Mac in order to ungroup them. 275 00:11:50.04 --> 00:11:53.02 Then I'll press control 8 or command 8 on the Mac 276 00:11:53.02 --> 00:11:55.04 to turn them all into a compound path 277 00:11:55.04 --> 00:11:58.05 and I'll fill them with black, like so. 278 00:11:58.05 --> 00:12:00.04 And now I'll go up to the Object menu 279 00:12:00.04 --> 00:12:02.07 choose Pattern and choose Make. 280 00:12:02.07 --> 00:12:05.02 In order to choose to the pattern editor 281 00:12:05.02 --> 00:12:07.07 I'll change the name to end denim. 282 00:12:07.07 --> 00:12:09.06 And then I'll press the escape key 283 00:12:09.06 --> 00:12:12.03 in order to create that new swatch. 284 00:12:12.03 --> 00:12:13.09 Alright, now you can turn off expanded 285 00:12:13.09 --> 00:12:16.06 turn on the Z and patterned layers. 286 00:12:16.06 --> 00:12:18.01 Press control 0 or command 0 on 287 00:12:18.01 --> 00:12:20.03 the Mac in order to zoom out. 288 00:12:20.03 --> 00:12:23.05 Bring up the brushes panel, make it not so tall so that we 289 00:12:23.05 --> 00:12:25.03 can see that end right there. 290 00:12:25.03 --> 00:12:28.03 And I'll go ahead and scroll to the bottom and double click 291 00:12:28.03 --> 00:12:31.02 in order to bring up the brush pattern options dialog box. 292 00:12:31.02 --> 00:12:34.00 And I'll click on this very last guy, End Tile. 293 00:12:34.00 --> 00:12:36.04 And I'll change it to end denim so things 294 00:12:36.04 --> 00:12:39.01 are listed in alphabetical order right here. 295 00:12:39.01 --> 00:12:41.04 So I'll select end denim and that's 296 00:12:41.04 --> 00:12:42.08 looking better in the preview. 297 00:12:42.08 --> 00:12:46.07 Now to click okay and I'll say Apply to Strokes. 298 00:12:46.07 --> 00:12:49.01 And you can see that everything works out nicely. 299 00:12:49.01 --> 00:12:51.08 And so I want you to notice this preview here inside 300 00:12:51.08 --> 00:12:55.01 the brushes panel is now completely full up. 301 00:12:55.01 --> 00:12:56.07 It has a little room at the end just to 302 00:12:56.07 --> 00:12:58.08 indicate that this is an end tile. 303 00:12:58.08 --> 00:13:01.05 But otherwise we're looking at the outer corner tile 304 00:13:01.05 --> 00:13:06.02 two slots of the side tile, the inner corner tile 305 00:13:06.02 --> 00:13:09.08 then we have the start tile followed by the end tile. 306 00:13:09.08 --> 00:13:12.06 And now, just to finish things off, I'm going to click on 307 00:13:12.06 --> 00:13:15.07 the word Opacity up here in the control panel and I'm 308 00:13:15.07 --> 00:13:18.03 going to change the blend mode to hard light. 309 00:13:18.03 --> 00:13:21.03 And that doesn't do anything because as we can see over 310 00:13:21.03 --> 00:13:22.06 here on the left side of the control 311 00:13:22.06 --> 00:13:24.05 panel nothing is selected. 312 00:13:24.05 --> 00:13:27.05 So I need to click on the Z in order to select it, then 313 00:13:27.05 --> 00:13:30.09 click on the word Opacity and change it to hard light. 314 00:13:30.09 --> 00:13:33.08 For some reason it already thought it was but if you still 315 00:13:33.08 --> 00:13:36.04 had your Z set to normal, you want to change it 316 00:13:36.04 --> 00:13:39.04 to hard light as well, assuming that you want to get 317 00:13:39.04 --> 00:13:42.05 the same effect as I'm getting. 318 00:13:42.05 --> 00:13:46.04 And that is how you create custom start and end tiles. 319 00:13:46.04 --> 00:13:49.07 Just imagine if you had to do that for the corners as well. 320 00:13:49.07 --> 00:13:50.08 That's the kind of stuff you used 321 00:13:50.08 --> 00:13:52.09 to have to do on a regular basis. 322 00:13:52.09 --> 00:13:56.09 But again that is how you create custom start and end tiles. 323 00:13:56.09 --> 00:13:58.07 To all together finish off your 324 00:13:58.07 --> 00:14:01.09 pattern brush here inside Illustrator.
