00:00:00.00 --> 00:00:01.03

- [Instructor] In this movie I'll show you



2

00:00:01.03 --> 00:00:04.08

how to combine dynamic

symbols with dynamic effects



3

00:00:04.08 --> 00:00:06.09

and so, again, you'll need to be using



4

00:00:06.09 --> 00:00:12.01

the most recent version of

Illustrator CC 2015 or later



5

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

in order to pull this off

and what we're gunna do



6

00:00:14.07 --> 00:00:19.00

is take our dynamic sun so

far and we're gunna pile on



7

00:00:19.00 --> 00:00:22.06

some dynamic effects in

order to create these two



8

00:00:22.06 --> 00:00:24.07

over the top effects right here



9

00:00:24.07 --> 00:00:27.01

and while these effects

might be a little bit silly,



10

00:00:27.01 --> 00:00:30.01

they at least show you what you can do.



11

00:00:30.01 --> 00:00:32.06

Alright, so I'll go ahead and

switch over to my document



12

00:00:32.06 --> 00:00:35.06

so far and I'll click on the purple face



13

00:00:35.06 --> 00:00:37.02

but I did so with a black arrow tool



14

00:00:37.02 --> 00:00:39.02

so that's not gunna do me any good.



15

00:00:39.02 --> 00:00:42.00

I need to press the A key to

switch to the white arrow tool



16

00:00:42.00 --> 00:00:44.09

and then if I click

again, notice I'm seeing



17

00:00:44.09 --> 00:00:46.02

this square bounding box.



18

00:00:46.02 --> 00:00:47.08

I don't want that so

we'll click off the shape



19

00:00:47.08 --> 00:00:50.07

to deselect it and then I'll

click on that face again,



20

00:00:50.07 --> 00:00:53.07

at which point I should

see a purple outline



21

00:00:53.07 --> 00:00:56.08

around this purple face

and that's just a function



22

00:00:56.08 --> 00:00:59.02

of the fact that my layer color is purple.



23

00:00:59.02 --> 00:01:01.00

Of course, I could

change that if I want to



24

00:01:01.00 --> 00:01:03.05

but I can see the face is selected



25

00:01:03.05 --> 00:01:05.01

and so I'll go up to the Effect menu,



26

00:01:05.01 --> 00:01:06.09

choose Distort and

Transform and then choose



27

00:01:06.09 --> 00:01:09.07

the Transform command or,

if you loaded dekekeys



28

00:01:09.07 --> 00:01:11.03

and I'm assuming that you have,



29

00:01:11.03 --> 00:01:13.02

then you have a keyboard shortcut



30

00:01:13.02 --> 00:01:16.07

of control+E on the PC

or command+E on the Mac



31

00:01:16.07 --> 00:01:19.00

and I say I'm assuming you

have because we're gunna



32

00:01:19.00 --> 00:01:21.09

be coming back to this

dialogue box a few times



33

00:01:21.09 --> 00:01:25.01

and now I'm just gunna change

the rotate value to 30 degrees



34

00:01:25.01 --> 00:01:26.06

and I'll turn on the preview check box



35

00:01:26.06 --> 00:01:28.06

and you can see that goes ahead



36

00:01:28.06 --> 00:01:32.00

and rotates the face to a jaunty angle.



37

00:01:32.00 --> 00:01:33.09

Alright, I'm gunna click

okay and then I'll click



38

00:01:33.09 --> 00:01:36.01

on this face, the orange

one, which is now surrounded



39

00:01:36.01 --> 00:01:39.07

by a thick purple outline and

I'll go up to the Effect menu



40

00:01:39.07 --> 00:01:43.06

and choose the second

command, Transform...,



41

00:01:43.06 --> 00:01:47.00

in order to revisit the very

same rotate setting I applied



42

00:01:47.00 --> 00:01:49.00

a moment ago and I'll

just change it to negative



43

00:01:49.00 --> 00:01:51.06

this time around, turn

on the preview check box



44

00:01:51.06 --> 00:01:53.07

and you can see that the

orange face at least,



45

00:01:53.07 --> 00:01:56.07

has been rotated to

the opposite direction.



46

00:01:56.07 --> 00:01:59.06

I'll go ahead and click

okay and the reason



47

00:01:59.06 --> 00:02:01.09

that the purple outline

has not been rotated



48

00:02:01.09 --> 00:02:04.02

is because this is a dynamic effect



49

00:02:04.02 --> 00:02:06.02

and so we're just seeing

the original path outline



50

00:02:06.02 --> 00:02:10.03

right there until I click

off the shape to deselect it.



51

00:02:10.03 --> 00:02:12.03

Alright, so that's a pretty simple example



52

00:02:12.03 --> 00:02:13.02

of what you can do.



53

00:02:13.02 --> 00:02:15.02

Let's see something a

little bit more elaborate.



54

00:02:15.02 --> 00:02:18.01

I'll go ahead and click on the sun rays



55

00:02:18.01 --> 00:02:20.00

and I'll go up to the Effect menu,



56

00:02:20.00 --> 00:02:23.01

choose Distort and Transform

and I'm gunna choose Twist,



57

00:02:23.01 --> 00:02:25.01

although, of course, you

can apply any dynamic effect



58

00:02:25.01 --> 00:02:29.03

you want and I came up with

an angle value of 360 degrees,



59

00:02:29.03 --> 00:02:31.06

at which point I'll turn

on the preview checkbox



60

00:02:31.06 --> 00:02:34.06

and you can see that twists

these rays like crazy



61

00:02:34.06 --> 00:02:38.07

and now I'll click okay and

now let's say I want to add



62

00:02:38.07 --> 00:02:41.06

a second group of twisty

rays as we're seeing



63

00:02:41.06 --> 00:02:43.05

in the final version of the document.



64

00:02:43.05 --> 00:02:46.01

In that case, I need to

go up to the Window menu



65

00:02:46.01 --> 00:02:49.00

and choose the Appearance

command to bring up



66

00:02:49.00 --> 00:02:51.02

the Appearance panel and

then I'll just go ahead



67

00:02:51.02 --> 00:02:53.06

and click on this orange fill

and I'll create a duplicate



68

00:02:53.06 --> 00:02:56.07

of it by clicking on a little

page icon at the bottom



69

00:02:56.07 --> 00:02:59.00

of the Appearance panel

and now I'll go ahead



70

00:02:59.00 --> 00:03:01.00

and select the original

fill down here at the bottom



71

00:03:01.00 --> 00:03:03.06

and I'll change it to this dark shade



72

00:03:03.06 --> 00:03:06.02

of red that begins R=193.



73

00:03:06.02 --> 00:03:09.07

That's not gunna make any

difference because, after all,



74

00:03:09.07 --> 00:03:11.04

this red fill is in back of the orange one



75

00:03:11.04 --> 00:03:13.08

and so, with that fill

selected, I'll just go ahead



76

00:03:13.08 --> 00:03:18.00

and press control+E or

command+E on a Mac to bring up



77

00:03:18.00 --> 00:03:20.01

the Transform Effect dialogue box.



78

00:03:20.01 --> 00:03:22.00

Now, if you were to

count the number of rays



79

00:03:22.00 --> 00:03:24.06

which is a little bit easier

with this guy in the right



80

00:03:24.06 --> 00:03:28.03

is concerned, you would find

that there's twelve in all



81

00:03:28.03 --> 00:03:30.03

and so to rotate this

guy so we can see it,



82

00:03:30.03 --> 00:03:34.07

I first need to take 360, so,

360 degrees make a circle,



83

00:03:34.07 --> 00:03:39.02

divided by 12, so 12 rays and

then I'll press the tab key



84

00:03:39.02 --> 00:03:41.02

and that gives me an

angle value of 30 degrees.



85

00:03:41.02 --> 00:03:42.07

If I turn on the preview checkbox,



86

00:03:42.07 --> 00:03:44.06

you can see that that just creates



87

00:03:44.06 --> 00:03:46.05

some new rays if you

look very closely here.



88

00:03:46.05 --> 00:03:49.03

Some new red rays behind the orange ones.



89

00:03:49.03 --> 00:03:51.08

What I really want to

do is rotate these guys



90

00:03:51.08 --> 00:03:55.03

half another degree that is in between,



91

00:03:55.03 --> 00:03:58.01

so I'll take this 30 degree

angle and divide it by two,



92

00:03:58.01 --> 00:04:00.07

so slash two, press the tab key



93

00:04:00.07 --> 00:04:03.08

and that gives me an

angle value of 15 degrees,



94

00:04:03.08 --> 00:04:05.05

which makes these rays visible,



95

00:04:05.05 --> 00:04:07.02

at which point I'll click okay.



96

00:04:07.02 --> 00:04:10.04

Alright, now I'm gunna

press control+H or command+H



97

00:04:10.04 --> 00:04:12.01

on a Mac in order to hide



98

00:04:12.01 --> 00:04:14.01

those selection edges for a moment.



99

00:04:14.01 --> 00:04:15.08

The rays are still

selected, bare that in mind,



100

00:04:15.08 --> 00:04:17.05

and so I'll go ahead and

zoom in a little bit.



101

00:04:17.05 --> 00:04:20.01

Let's say you want to

fill this area in between.



102

00:04:20.01 --> 00:04:23.06

That is in between the

face and the rays with red,



103

00:04:23.06 --> 00:04:26.08

then you take this red

fill and make a copy of it



104

00:04:26.08 --> 00:04:29.04

by clicking on the little

page icon at the bottom



105

00:04:29.04 --> 00:04:31.08

of the Appearance panel and then go ahead



106

00:04:31.08 --> 00:04:34.03

and select the bottom red fill,

click on the word Transform



107

00:04:34.03 --> 00:04:35.09

and click on the trash can



108

00:04:35.09 --> 00:04:37.08

to get rid of it because

we don't need that.



109

00:04:37.08 --> 00:04:40.04

What we need to do is

select this fill once again



110

00:04:40.04 --> 00:04:43.07

and convert it to a circle by

going up to the Effect menu,



111

00:04:43.07 --> 00:04:48.01

choose Convert Shape and choose

Ellipse and I do not want



112

00:04:48.01 --> 00:04:49.08

Relative to be selected

because that's gunna give us



113

00:04:49.08 --> 00:04:52.03

this ginormous circle that

we're seeing right here.



114

00:04:52.03 --> 00:04:54.02

So I'll select Absolute instead.



115

00:04:54.02 --> 00:04:55.08

These values are not big enough



116

00:04:55.08 --> 00:04:58.02

and so with the preview check

box on so that I can see



117

00:04:58.02 --> 00:05:01.01

what I'm doing, I'll just go

ahead and set the width value



118

00:05:01.01 --> 00:05:04.02

to fifty points and I'll

set the height value



119

00:05:04.02 --> 00:05:07.00

to 50 points as well and

that fills in that area,



120

00:05:07.00 --> 00:05:09.00

but it also fills in the face

and so to take care of that



121

00:05:09.00 --> 00:05:11.07

I'll click okay and then I'll go ahead



122

00:05:11.07 --> 00:05:14.00

and create a copy of this

latest fill by clicking



123

00:05:14.00 --> 00:05:15.05

on the little page icon once again



124

00:05:15.05 --> 00:05:17.05

and now notice we have

a bunch of fills here



125

00:05:17.05 --> 00:05:20.04

and so you might need to twirl

some of these guys closed



126

00:05:20.04 --> 00:05:22.05

just to give yourself some space here



127

00:05:22.05 --> 00:05:25.02

and then take this middle fill right here,



128

00:05:25.02 --> 00:05:28.07

this middle red fill and change

it to white, for starters.



129

00:05:28.07 --> 00:05:30.01

Now, notice it's too big.



130

00:05:30.01 --> 00:05:32.04

It's covering the red

fill and so I'll click



131

00:05:32.04 --> 00:05:34.08

on the word Ellipse and I'll

change both of these values



132

00:05:34.08 --> 00:05:38.02

to 30 points which will give

me white inside the face,



133

00:05:38.02 --> 00:05:40.04

at which point I'll click okay.



134

00:05:40.04 --> 00:05:44.00

Alright, now let's see what

we can do with the other guy



135

00:05:44.00 --> 00:05:47.00

and this is absolutely

superfluous at this point.



136

00:05:47.00 --> 00:05:48.07

You don't have to follow

along if you don't want to,



137

00:05:48.07 --> 00:05:50.09

in other words but I just

want to give you a sense



138

00:05:50.09 --> 00:05:53.01

for what you can do and so I'll click on



139

00:05:53.01 --> 00:05:55.03

these blue rays to select them.



140

00:05:55.03 --> 00:05:57.07

I'm not seeing a selection

line and that's because



141

00:05:57.07 --> 00:05:59.04

I would need to press control+H



142

00:05:59.04 --> 00:06:01.05

or command+H on a Mac to bring it back.



143

00:06:01.05 --> 00:06:04.00

So notice we now have thick purple edges



144

00:06:04.00 --> 00:06:05.05

around those blue rays.



145

00:06:05.05 --> 00:06:06.08

I don't want to see them though,



146

00:06:06.08 --> 00:06:08.05

so I'm gunna press control+H or command+H



147

00:06:08.05 --> 00:06:10.01

on a Mac to hide them once again



148

00:06:10.01 --> 00:06:12.05

and then I'll go up to the Effect menu,



149

00:06:12.05 --> 00:06:14.00

choose Distort and Transform



150

00:06:14.00 --> 00:06:16.02

and this time I'll choose pucker and bloat



151

00:06:16.02 --> 00:06:18.02

and I'll turn on the preview check box



152

00:06:18.02 --> 00:06:20.08

and I'll click in this

numerical value right here



153

00:06:20.08 --> 00:06:22.06

and I'll press shift+up

arrow, let's say a total



154

00:06:22.06 --> 00:06:26.00

of five times, so take

that value up to 50%



155

00:06:26.00 --> 00:06:30.00

and I'll click okay in

order to accept that setting



156

00:06:30.00 --> 00:06:32.02

and now I once again want to rotate a copy



157

00:06:32.02 --> 00:06:34.09

of a different color and

so I'll click on this fill



158

00:06:34.09 --> 00:06:36.05

right here, this blue

fill and I'll click on



159

00:06:36.05 --> 00:06:38.09

the little page icon

and create a copy of it



160

00:06:38.09 --> 00:06:41.09

and then I'll click on the

bottom of the two fills



161

00:06:41.09 --> 00:06:43.09

and I'll change it to this shade of green



162

00:06:43.09 --> 00:06:48.00

that begins with R=34, but,

really up to you of course.



163

00:06:48.00 --> 00:06:50.04

Can't see it and that's

cause we need to rotate it



164

00:06:50.04 --> 00:06:51.09

by making sure this fill is selected



165

00:06:51.09 --> 00:06:54.08

and then I'll just press said

dekekeys keyboard shortcut



166

00:06:54.08 --> 00:06:57.07

of control+E or command+E

on a Mac and I'll change



167

00:06:57.07 --> 00:06:59.05

the angle value, I just happen to know now



168

00:06:59.05 --> 00:07:01.08

having done it in the past, to 15 degrees



169

00:07:01.08 --> 00:07:04.05

and if I turn on the preview

check box you can see



170

00:07:04.05 --> 00:07:07.05

that that goes and rotates

a copy of that green fill



171

00:07:07.05 --> 00:07:10.05

so that we can see it, at

which point I'll click okay.



172

00:07:10.05 --> 00:07:13.03

Again, I want to cover up

this area in the middle,



173

00:07:13.03 --> 00:07:15.07

so I'll create a copy of this green fill



174

00:07:15.07 --> 00:07:18.00

by once again clicking

on the little page icon



175

00:07:18.00 --> 00:07:21.01

at the bottom of the panel

with this bottom fill selected,



176

00:07:21.01 --> 00:07:22.08

so I'll go ahead and click on it.



177

00:07:22.08 --> 00:07:24.05

Actually I want to click on it's transform



178

00:07:24.05 --> 00:07:27.02

and I want to get rid of it by clicking



179

00:07:27.02 --> 00:07:28.02

on that little trash icon



180

00:07:28.02 --> 00:07:30.00

and then I'll click on

this green fill again



181

00:07:30.00 --> 00:07:32.05

and I'll go up to the

Effect menu and I'll choose



182

00:07:32.05 --> 00:07:35.04

Convert to Shape and choose Ellipse.



183

00:07:35.04 --> 00:07:37.01

Once again I get the default setting



184

00:07:37.01 --> 00:07:39.00

so I'll select Absolute

and I'll change both



185

00:07:39.00 --> 00:07:40.05

of these values here, width and height



186

00:07:40.05 --> 00:07:42.09

to 50 points, like so.



187

00:07:42.09 --> 00:07:44.01

Turn on the preview checkbox



188

00:07:44.01 --> 00:07:46.04

I can see that does a pretty

good job of filling things in,



189

00:07:46.04 --> 00:07:48.02

at which point I'll click okay



190

00:07:48.02 --> 00:07:51.06

and now I want to protect the

face so I'll create a copy



191

00:07:51.06 --> 00:07:54.03

of this guy by clicking

on the little page icon.



192

00:07:54.03 --> 00:07:57.01

I'll select this green

fill in the middle here



193

00:07:57.01 --> 00:07:59.09

and I'll change it to

white and then I'll click



194

00:07:59.09 --> 00:08:03.05

on the word Ellipse and

I'll change both the width



195

00:08:03.05 --> 00:08:05.04

and height values to 30

points this time around



196

00:08:05.04 --> 00:08:07.09

so I'm just filling in the

face and I'll click okay.



197

00:08:07.09 --> 00:08:10.05

Now that doesn't really

do what I want it to.



198

00:08:10.05 --> 00:08:12.07

I'd actually want to

move this up the stack



199

00:08:12.07 --> 00:08:13.09

so it's covering everybody



200

00:08:13.09 --> 00:08:16.01

if I want to protect that face like so.



201

00:08:16.01 --> 00:08:18.08

So that's one way to work or

I could reduce this pucker



202

00:08:18.08 --> 00:08:21.02

and bloat value which is actually assigned



203

00:08:21.02 --> 00:08:24.06

to the entire shape so it's

gunna effect all the fills



204

00:08:24.06 --> 00:08:26.09

and so I'll go ahead and

click on pucker and bloat



205

00:08:26.09 --> 00:08:28.08

and I'll turn on the preview check box



206

00:08:28.08 --> 00:08:31.05

and I'll take this value down from 50%



207

00:08:31.05 --> 00:08:34.04

by pressing shift+down

arrow a couple of times



208

00:08:34.04 --> 00:08:38.00

to just 30% like so and

then I'll click okay



209

00:08:38.00 --> 00:08:41.07

in order to accept that change



210

00:08:41.07 --> 00:08:43.07

and, just for fun, I'll

go ahead and zoom in



211

00:08:43.07 --> 00:08:47.02

on our most recent example

and so, whatever you think



212

00:08:47.02 --> 00:08:49.07

of the aesthetics of

what I've come up with,



213

00:08:49.07 --> 00:08:51.08

those are a couple of, what I think,



214

00:08:51.08 --> 00:08:54.02

illuminating examples of what you can do



215

00:08:54.02 --> 00:08:58.04

by combining dynamic effects

along with dynamic symbols



216

00:08:58.04 --> 00:09:00.06

here inside the most recent version



217

00:09:00.06 --> 00:09:03.02

of Illustrator CC 2015 or later.
