WEBVTT 00:00.120 --> 00:05.480 High there in this video we're going to make this rather hypnotic repeating pattern and Adobe Illustrator 00:05.610 --> 00:08.240 will get some more advanced features in this video. 00:08.400 --> 00:11.370 Also do things like this where we get it to kind of map around. 00:11.370 --> 00:13.040 That's meant to be a pocket guy. 00:13.100 --> 00:13.500 Terrible. 00:13.520 --> 00:13.990 OK. 00:14.210 --> 00:18.800 And but this is well where we can pull it and really kind of Wolper it right. 00:18.810 --> 00:21.050 We'll show you how to do that now in Illustrator. 00:21.300 --> 00:21.660 All right. 00:21.660 --> 00:23.550 So first up open up patents. 00:23.610 --> 00:26.350 I k there in your exercise files. 00:26.370 --> 00:30.540 Now you don't have to these are just some shapes we're going to use as an example you can totally use 00:30.540 --> 00:35.970 your own you can't use these particular ones for any other work because they are stuck library images 00:36.330 --> 00:39.090 made by the handsome Robert Philip spelt. 00:39.090 --> 00:40.290 If I like. 00:40.310 --> 00:45.030 P K so you can go to stock dot dot dot com and buy those if you want to use them. 00:45.040 --> 00:48.390 And what we're going to do is going to select the mon's kind of move them off to the edge and we're 00:48.390 --> 00:52.620 going to build our very first kind of repeating tile like guess or the beginning there was going to 00:52.620 --> 00:56.720 kind of make some sort of some sort of thing. 00:57.030 --> 00:59.040 Playing with laya order and just getting started. 00:59.040 --> 01:05.010 Now my advice always is to NOT IT'S BEEN TOO LONG kind of doing it here is to jump straight into the 01:05.010 --> 01:10.000 pencil case because you find that things just look different once they're actually getting repeated. 01:10.020 --> 01:17.130 So get started here get some sort of thing going OK and once you really select them all and you go to 01:17.130 --> 01:24.020 this thing here a window this is the most insignificant name that most awesome tools called Pen options. 01:24.040 --> 01:24.410 OK. 01:24.420 --> 01:29.370 Never click it but this option this thing opens and doesn't look like it's usable. 01:29.390 --> 01:31.280 Look on this option say make pen. 01:31.490 --> 01:34.110 It will need one to get going. 01:34.160 --> 01:40.220 It says it's put a swatch in my swatches pen over here you can kind of see a tiny version of it here 01:40.240 --> 01:41.670 my switches panel. 01:41.790 --> 01:46.140 So now is the pen making time we're going to give our name. 01:46.140 --> 01:48.170 We're going to call and we're trying. 01:48.510 --> 01:49.300 OK. 01:49.710 --> 01:53.730 Couple of things before we that playing around with sizes of weights and things is that I don't like 01:53.730 --> 01:56.600 it when it dims these extra copies just turn that off. 01:56.610 --> 01:58.650 I like to see it in actual fact. 01:58.650 --> 02:06.540 And the other things will turn off and on is we'll leave the Tiley edge on and we'll turn the size tile 02:06.540 --> 02:10.730 to art off move with art on. 02:10.860 --> 02:11.630 Just follow me. 02:11.640 --> 02:13.080 I'll explain it when we get out of here. 02:13.080 --> 02:15.000 Why we want to do all these things. 02:15.180 --> 02:17.920 OK so turn all those on off to match mine. 02:18.060 --> 02:20.010 And now we're going to play around with this. 02:20.010 --> 02:21.420 The important part. 02:21.600 --> 02:25.610 You know which of these kind of like ways is no more right a wrong way. 02:25.620 --> 02:30.240 I end up always using Hick's though Higgs by rote we'll call them gives me the basic kind of feel for 02:30.240 --> 02:31.600 what it doesn't matter. 02:31.660 --> 02:33.300 Just find something that works for you. 02:33.460 --> 02:36.890 OK I'm going to stop boy Hick's by column. 02:36.920 --> 02:42.930 Now what I want to do is decide kind of these two things I can do and say I want it to come in tighter. 02:42.930 --> 02:45.810 It's easy to use this tool here that Peten tile tool. 02:45.810 --> 02:46.540 Click on that. 02:46.650 --> 02:48.020 And then I grab one of the corners. 02:48.030 --> 02:54.790 Hold shift K and just kind of shrink it down so that it's a kind of resizes and gets in tighter again. 02:54.880 --> 02:59.080 OK up to you you're going to undo it like that but that's the way to do it. 02:59.130 --> 03:03.720 And what I'm going to do is just kind of start rearranging the stuff to kind of start maybe looking 03:03.720 --> 03:04.370 better. 03:04.580 --> 03:05.070 OK. 03:05.170 --> 03:06.530 I start feeling this get better. 03:06.540 --> 03:10.070 You can play around with size and scale just like you're working in Illustrator. 03:10.340 --> 03:12.070 OK. 03:12.540 --> 03:17.210 Now you can also bring other new pots and you don't have to kind of really decide at the beginning. 03:17.280 --> 03:19.600 Let's say I want to do it. 03:19.610 --> 03:20.910 It's kind of weird right. 03:20.940 --> 03:22.870 Click on done to kind of get out of here. 03:23.160 --> 03:26.210 And a couple of things happen as I will go. 03:26.410 --> 03:30.570 And these things here and the pen that is kind of like these guys are useless now and are useless but 03:30.570 --> 03:31.690 we don't need them anymore. 03:31.770 --> 03:35.830 Let's say we draw something else and we draw an ellipse and we draw. 03:36.070 --> 03:49.250 I steal the colors from this and in a couple of them and just steal the colors. 03:49.320 --> 03:50.850 Pretty exciting then Nice work. 03:50.850 --> 03:51.980 I mean I copy them. 03:52.080 --> 03:52.400 OK. 03:52.410 --> 03:54.190 And they are useless now again. 03:54.360 --> 03:55.200 And what I'm going to do. 03:55.200 --> 03:58.620 I'm going to jump back into this watch and you just double click it over here in the switches panel 03:58.920 --> 04:03.140 and it comes back to life you're in sound kind of like a no man's land and you go. 04:03.190 --> 04:04.700 Now I can pacemen. 04:04.830 --> 04:08.800 I could have actually just drawn them in here couldn't I. 04:09.320 --> 04:10.610 I guess I'm doing this. 04:10.650 --> 04:11.070 Why. 04:11.070 --> 04:15.510 Because I just want to fill in this I'm just some no man's land gets here. 04:15.730 --> 04:18.080 OK then I just want to kind of put in. 04:18.990 --> 04:21.150 You can play with the lay order. 04:21.300 --> 04:22.850 You can have that one. 04:22.860 --> 04:27.190 So once you're happy with everything there's a couple of things we need to do is play dumb. 04:27.510 --> 04:30.030 Let's apply it now because it doesn't exist anywhere. 04:30.030 --> 04:36.710 We're going to go with the rectangle to grab a nice big rectangle to cover the background and click 04:36.710 --> 04:37.220 them. 04:37.530 --> 04:38.970 Mine by default has filled it. 04:38.980 --> 04:39.770 Yours might not. 04:39.780 --> 04:40.860 You might click on this as well. 04:40.860 --> 04:45.450 You might be like yours might be filled with say white and you might click on the swatch to fill it 04:45.450 --> 04:50.530 and you go fill it in this little time it's actually filled the stroke. 04:50.530 --> 04:55.540 It was a tiny pattern on the outside to make sure the fill here has no stroke. 04:55.810 --> 04:56.350 OK. 04:56.370 --> 04:58.350 Sorry the stroke has no stroke. 04:58.370 --> 05:05.300 And fill this guy can probably do it have hidden and it's just easier to come fill in stroke stroke. 05:05.310 --> 05:07.550 All right so those options I kind of talked about earlier. 05:07.560 --> 05:09.830 Let's discuss those and what they mean. 05:09.840 --> 05:16.980 One of the options that say is resized to tile out it just means that when I resized this k it resizes 05:17.070 --> 05:18.350 comes along for the ride. 05:18.510 --> 05:24.100 A few have that tect it would try and stay the right size and that's fine. 05:24.190 --> 05:26.940 You might be a reason why you want that but it doesn't really matter. 05:26.960 --> 05:28.100 You can do it afterwards. 05:28.140 --> 05:32.970 Let's have a little look at that say Is this kind of two uses let's say this is a repeating pattern 05:32.970 --> 05:38.550 and say you're a fashion designer and that you want to resize something down say you're making a pockets 05:38.550 --> 05:42.690 or an insert something small but you don't want the patent to resize because it can't cause that the 05:42.800 --> 05:44.590 it's the fabric pattern and that's done. 05:44.610 --> 05:45.930 You can't resize it right. 05:46.170 --> 05:52.080 And so what you can do is you can turn it on and off by going to a window and going to transform. 05:52.210 --> 05:57.540 And in here there's some sneaky options in there big I mean you k and it's this group here. 05:57.750 --> 05:59.590 So by default it's on both means. 05:59.610 --> 06:04.000 When I transform the object which is the rectangle it transforms the pen as well. 06:04.050 --> 06:10.860 But you can say actually I want to transform when I'm transforming just the object came and when I scale 06:10.860 --> 06:13.540 it down you can see it just scales the object not the pen. 06:13.590 --> 06:17.260 So that might be useful for you and the trouble with that is that it's on forever. 06:17.430 --> 06:22.320 You've got to make sure just turn it off I go in and turn it off again because yeah causes later on 06:22.320 --> 06:24.440 get a headache like what's going on. 06:24.490 --> 06:25.290 So I turn it back on. 06:25.290 --> 06:30.750 The other one is transform object Peten only say I wanted to resize the pattern but not the box. 06:30.750 --> 06:31.270 OK. 06:31.470 --> 06:34.610 This doesn't do what you expect it does both again. 06:35.210 --> 06:39.180 It's well they kind of mean is that you have to transform the pattern early. 06:39.180 --> 06:40.590 You have to use this little box here. 06:40.800 --> 06:46.320 So the height and width here that say I want to divide it by two can and a click into the box. 06:46.320 --> 06:49.480 You can see I've divided the high and the width by two. 06:49.530 --> 06:51.760 The object hasn't changed just the pattern. 06:51.930 --> 06:55.930 Make sure was well when you doing that that is linked case what is the height and width together. 06:56.000 --> 06:58.740 Say it with rotation and he might do 20. 06:58.800 --> 07:04.070 And because I've got that option tacked on just the pattern that's only applying to that case going 07:04.130 --> 07:05.510 to get back to both. 07:05.550 --> 07:09.820 Another thing you might do is at the beginning we didn't put a background color Willington like the 07:09.890 --> 07:12.050 keys to the white of the page fill the gap. 07:12.050 --> 07:14.910 Again you can see here there's now space behind it. 07:14.910 --> 07:15.150 OK. 07:15.150 --> 07:16.270 The Grays coming through. 07:16.440 --> 07:19.050 Now I find is that a coloring it before you get into it. 07:19.050 --> 07:27.750 All you need to do is grab this and put the full color of pink and put it behind it and add that when 07:27.750 --> 07:29.300 you create your tile. 07:29.300 --> 07:29.830 OK. 07:30.000 --> 07:31.500 That will add a background color to it. 07:31.500 --> 07:32.440 I find it's easier. 07:32.460 --> 07:34.090 Probably probably. 07:34.280 --> 07:36.580 And I'd like to have a separate box separately. 07:36.710 --> 07:37.360 OK. 07:37.380 --> 07:43.140 To kind of show the stock color all the color behind it doesn't really matter I guess. 07:43.440 --> 07:44.150 All right. 07:44.220 --> 07:49.090 Other thing I want to do is let's have a little look at our shift. 07:49.350 --> 07:49.830 OK. 07:49.890 --> 07:56.200 And to my iPod to hold down the key drag out option key on the mic to get in your iPod. 07:56.290 --> 08:01.350 If you know the Apple tools that what I'd like to do now is first of all I want to get rid of the pink 08:01.350 --> 08:02.120 direct ground. 08:02.310 --> 08:02.960 Goodbye. 08:03.240 --> 08:08.430 And I want to kind of start distorting this panel let's say that you are doing it for a mock up of your 08:08.430 --> 08:13.530 patent on something or say you are a designer fashion designer and you want to kind of move it around 08:13.530 --> 08:15.260 the shape of a model. 08:15.390 --> 08:19.200 OK so let's look at both kind of a couple of ways of doing that. 08:19.250 --> 08:25.230 And one of the easy ways is that say you just wanted to store this go to it. 08:25.320 --> 08:25.590 Sorry. 08:25.590 --> 08:27.500 Object go to envelope distort. 08:27.540 --> 08:28.960 And we're going to. 08:28.960 --> 08:33.690 And one of the easy ones is make with what Casey if you've got to kind of really simple shape. 08:33.920 --> 08:35.940 It's going to stress your machine out a little bit. 08:35.970 --> 08:37.980 You can see it's kind of warped this way. 08:37.980 --> 08:43.230 If one of the shapes is going to work for you gay flags in waves and things like that then you can just 08:43.230 --> 08:48.870 use this option OK and you can see it's kind of destroying the world destroying it's kind of singeing 08:48.870 --> 08:49.980 your pattern. 08:50.110 --> 08:53.880 If that doesn't work for you let's say you want to really control what it does. 08:53.940 --> 08:56.790 It's the two ways I can use my courage to. 08:57.360 --> 09:05.530 OK so I'm going to create say a pocket and I'm going to draw make sure Phil is not Alpen that's going 09:05.530 --> 09:06.700 to freak us out. 09:06.820 --> 09:11.120 So it doesn't really matter what color this is a double click for a corner sequence for a curve to look 09:11.130 --> 09:13.130 for a corner. 09:13.350 --> 09:14.240 What we'll do. 09:14.650 --> 09:22.320 But look once for a curve to click on and click on it click once for a curve 09:24.970 --> 09:33.600 go wasn't so well got ugly looking pocket and this really bad feeling had the idea and you can do a 09:33.600 --> 09:35.160 couple of things. 09:35.160 --> 09:41.790 Let's look at two options so shift shift to zero OK to get my iPod to make another duplicate. 09:42.210 --> 09:47.370 So the first option is you might get away with this is slick that the two objects and you pocket needs 09:47.370 --> 09:52.680 to be at the front cases like both of them go to object go to envelope distort and there's an option 09:52.680 --> 09:54.680 that says make the top object. 09:54.690 --> 09:56.680 It just kind of tries to jam it in there. 09:58.320 --> 10:00.400 Again a bit stressful. 10:00.610 --> 10:02.390 And that might be enough for you. 10:02.490 --> 10:04.470 You just let the sheep do the work. 10:04.470 --> 10:09.060 And that could be quite cool and say you want a bit more control what you might do is select on the 10:09.090 --> 10:10.320 background shape. 10:10.320 --> 10:17.310 And we're going to go to an object we're going to go to object envelope distort and this one that says 10:17.310 --> 10:18.470 make with mesh. 10:18.510 --> 10:25.550 OK this is like full custom came through three it the more mesh you have the more detail you can control. 10:25.560 --> 10:26.790 But it's a little fiddly. 10:26.990 --> 10:29.780 Ok so like a great image looks ridiculous. 10:30.150 --> 10:35.210 So I'm going to play it first again quite a hardcore Peten. 10:35.280 --> 10:38.960 OK if yours is even more like you and your machine is old it's going to take a while. 10:39.120 --> 10:39.360 All right. 10:39.370 --> 10:44.130 Next thing I want to do is I want to bring Whateley I can send him to the back and that's really fast 10:44.130 --> 10:46.280 if I try and bring the patent to the front. 10:46.280 --> 10:47.480 It's been they just doing it. 10:47.610 --> 10:48.020 OK. 10:48.060 --> 10:53.790 What I want to do is actually just load the capacity of this don't lower the city of the pattern before 10:53.790 --> 10:55.380 you make it mesh. 10:55.560 --> 10:56.410 OK. 10:56.760 --> 11:00.150 It's really hard to turn the penalty back up it's easy this way. 11:00.430 --> 11:04.330 OK so I just want to turn it down for a little bit while I play around with it and use the white arrow 11:04.320 --> 11:05.960 tool when I'm working with the mesh. 11:06.050 --> 11:10.290 OK and what I might do to get started is going to slick these three points now it's really hard because 11:10.290 --> 11:15.290 I picked a blue blue kind of pocket and I've got a blue kind of textile. 11:15.390 --> 11:18.120 And there's also blue on this. 11:18.130 --> 11:19.220 Last was a little bit hard. 11:19.230 --> 11:20.820 You'll have to work it out. 11:20.940 --> 11:22.890 So I selected just the three guys. 11:22.950 --> 11:23.310 OK. 11:23.310 --> 11:24.500 Four people. 11:24.660 --> 11:25.020 OK. 11:25.060 --> 11:31.360 A dragon and little bit and give it a second. 11:31.590 --> 11:33.710 Can you can see it's kind of getting scrunched over the side. 11:33.710 --> 11:35.440 They'll do the same for this side. 11:35.450 --> 11:38.960 So this is just giving you the kind of customized shape you can kind of see what's happening. 11:38.960 --> 11:40.140 I can drag it out here. 11:40.160 --> 11:44.750 It's going to drag it in here and there's just a lot of fiddling around now to kind of push it the you 11:44.750 --> 11:50.660 know the way you want the fabric to fall and it's going to be a lot of and about so it's grabbed just 11:50.660 --> 11:52.910 this one point and I drag it in. 11:52.910 --> 11:54.220 What's the fix here. 11:54.480 --> 12:01.920 And and I zoom in you can see it you've got these little handles that control it as well. 12:03.430 --> 12:04.200 Hopefully. 12:04.390 --> 12:04.850 OK. 12:04.900 --> 12:06.050 I'm going to drag them around. 12:06.060 --> 12:11.050 Is this guy taking a little bit of time now. 12:11.880 --> 12:14.700 Are machines pretty hard core and it's still taking a lot of time. 12:14.830 --> 12:19.600 So we're kind of doing two things that are really kind of extreme. 12:19.600 --> 12:28.210 One is the pattern and the other is using an envelope mesh code so I'm not going to spend too much more 12:28.210 --> 12:28.550 time. 12:28.560 --> 12:30.840 But there's a lot of just grabbing these good points. 12:31.010 --> 12:32.550 Maybe the mesh is too complex. 12:32.560 --> 12:33.640 I put three by three. 12:33.640 --> 12:37.850 Maybe if you're doing this now try just to buy two. 12:38.150 --> 12:43.500 Mike if you had just enough control to be able to you know that's going to really distort it. 12:43.990 --> 12:48.060 Breaking it but say if you want a bit of a pinched fabric where you're measuring. 12:48.070 --> 12:52.720 You know you've got kind of like stock images and you want to match the kind of role and folds of the 12:52.720 --> 12:59.020 fabric you can stop pushing this around when you're done with a black error have a selected go up to 12:59.020 --> 13:00.890 the capacity and crank it back up. 13:01.180 --> 13:04.030 And the last thing we're going to do is send the back 13:06.760 --> 13:11.320 again I should've brought the shape to the front for some reason Kingham make sure he gets cropped in 13:11.770 --> 13:13.240 case and now with them both is selected. 13:13.240 --> 13:19.510 We're going to hit command 7 on a Mac or control 7 on a PC and it just kind of sticks it in the shape. 13:19.690 --> 13:21.510 And that's my favorite thing. 13:21.520 --> 13:25.090 All right one last thing you might do is let's say that you're actually designing this and you want 13:25.090 --> 13:27.120 to change the colors that are used in here. 13:27.190 --> 13:28.210 OK a nice way to do it. 13:28.240 --> 13:34.210 Like I've got it selected go to it go to it it colors and we did this properly in an early to tural 13:34.210 --> 13:36.220 who's going to be the short version here. 13:36.400 --> 13:40.650 OK so recolor at work ok and jumped to the it. 13:40.920 --> 13:46.060 OK link all the colors and then you can kind of drag this around in and out. 13:46.060 --> 13:50.950 Kind of expands them richer and Coola K and you can see it in the back in the back. 13:50.960 --> 13:55.930 And then I'm changing the colors making them terrible correct in case he might have some color options 13:55.930 --> 14:00.290 once you've got it in here or maybe just some huge changes or you get the fabric and you're like man 14:00.300 --> 14:03.450 it's not quite reflected well in my design or my. 14:03.460 --> 14:05.000 I just it. 14:05.260 --> 14:12.470 And if you want to go into more recoloring notwork I go that in a full tutorial or rights that is patent's. 14:12.590 --> 14:15.130 Hope you learn something new and tip. 14:15.130 --> 14:16.740 All right let's get on to the next video.
