WEBVTT 00:02.290 --> 00:06.960 High there in this video we're going to do two things we're going to take this image and turn it into 00:07.000 --> 00:11.800 black and white image then we're going to do some cool stuff with colors and blending with the background 00:11.800 --> 00:13.970 you can see a few different options there. 00:14.000 --> 00:16.590 So let's go and do that now in Adobe Illustrator. 00:16.660 --> 00:21.600 All right to get started you can open up a file you know exercise files called blending modes. 00:21.600 --> 00:27.140 Black and white dot i k and they're just kind of put in some basic stuff to get us going. 00:27.140 --> 00:29.800 Phase one is to bring in an image and make it black and white. 00:29.860 --> 00:35.570 So we're going to get a file We're going to go to place and we're going to find an image in a cool gray 00:35.560 --> 00:36.070 scale. 00:36.070 --> 00:39.850 There he is grayscale to pick took place I'm going to drag it. 00:39.850 --> 00:41.700 So it kind of fits in my background here. 00:41.710 --> 00:43.730 It's a little bit too big we should trim it up. 00:43.780 --> 00:44.980 I'm not going to bother. 00:45.160 --> 00:51.220 Now I also want to send it to the back so command shift and square bracket will control shift square 00:51.220 --> 00:57.160 breaker on a PC and now we need to make it black and white so black and white an illustrator is selected 00:57.250 --> 00:58.300 with my black eram. 00:58.360 --> 01:04.740 I go to it and I go down to it it colors and I've got convert to greyscale and it's black and white. 01:04.770 --> 01:06.140 Now that's fine. 01:06.160 --> 01:10.590 And this one looks fine and I find that illustrator does one option right. 01:10.590 --> 01:12.900 It's pretty kind of just take it or leave it. 01:13.030 --> 01:17.000 So what I tend to do is alter the same image in something like Photoshop. 01:17.030 --> 01:19.880 And it's not a photoshop class but mostly be. 01:20.030 --> 01:21.950 Them even if you've never used it. 01:22.000 --> 01:26.770 Do this particular thing and what you want to do is with it open to adjustments. 01:26.770 --> 01:31.610 There's an option here this like on here is the black and white K does a similar sort of thing. 01:31.630 --> 01:32.460 Have a look. 01:32.590 --> 01:38.260 It's slightly different where it gets different in Photoshop though as you get to adjust the colors. 01:38.260 --> 01:43.350 So when he used to say what you did with the Reds so you get a bit of control so you can see read rather 01:43.350 --> 01:45.130 than just kind of leave in one of the deep folders you can. 01:45.160 --> 01:48.310 Actually I want to do some other stuff with it maybe ducking them up. 01:48.520 --> 01:52.990 OK so this gives you a lot more control about how this thing gets converted to black and white which 01:52.990 --> 01:58.360 I love there's no green in the image so these guys do a bit of sign in his pocket turns out robot blue 01:58.360 --> 02:01.600 in a shirt case you get to kind of have a bit more control. 02:01.600 --> 02:05.020 Another cool thing about this in Photoshop is this guy here. 02:05.220 --> 02:06.190 It's got to Tier One name. 02:06.190 --> 02:12.550 The on out modifier saying OK but give it a click and all it does is means that you get to click and 02:12.550 --> 02:13.090 drag. 02:13.110 --> 02:15.310 I've turned it on you know it's active because it's dark. 02:15.310 --> 02:17.500 And over here I get to say hey his cheeks need a bit of work. 02:17.500 --> 02:20.510 I can click hold drag left and right. 02:20.530 --> 02:24.790 So instead of just trying to guess over here what colors are affecting things you get to say this but 02:24.790 --> 02:26.890 the chicken shit when my brother does. 02:27.160 --> 02:29.590 OK so it's just a real kind of tactile pocket. 02:29.590 --> 02:34.180 I need to kind of like dark and down sides because here it's quite bright when I get it down. 02:34.180 --> 02:36.780 The Fins here can bring it up down. 02:36.880 --> 02:42.010 OK so just click hold and drag and the other thing you know you might not want black and white you might 02:42.010 --> 02:44.070 want to tint is a tint option here. 02:44.230 --> 02:44.900 OK. 02:44.980 --> 02:46.080 Got it by default. 02:46.080 --> 02:49.650 It's got a kind of spear ish kind of tone. 02:49.720 --> 02:52.910 So yeah there is the black and white too in Photoshop. 02:52.930 --> 02:57.370 Now you save it out maybe it's a piece maybe the J pick and bring it into Illustrator. 02:57.400 --> 03:00.880 I'm not going to but if you want to do more with Photoshop. 03:00.880 --> 03:01.920 Tips and Tricks like this. 03:01.930 --> 03:03.530 I've got a photoshop course. 03:03.550 --> 03:07.290 Check out either the essentials of the fonts one of that. 03:07.410 --> 03:09.660 All right back into Illustrator. 03:09.730 --> 03:14.760 Now what we want to do now is get this kind of like coloration and directing with a background lace 03:14.770 --> 03:16.110 or at the beginning it's quite easy. 03:16.120 --> 03:19.080 So more color blending like we did in early advertorial. 03:19.320 --> 03:24.380 So Black Arrow got this red box selected good rapacity on the way to Pasotti normal. 03:24.400 --> 03:27.810 And then just play around until you find one that works ok. 03:27.870 --> 03:29.810 I like multiply it looks pretty good. 03:29.810 --> 03:31.800 OK they all got different kind of effects now. 03:31.990 --> 03:34.440 And also I know that if you use a different color. 03:34.480 --> 03:40.840 I've used a kind of rich red and that's going to work this way with multiply but if you have a different 03:40.840 --> 03:45.160 color you'll find that some of these options will be quite different only that multiply. 03:45.220 --> 03:48.780 Because I like it and move on to the next one so we're going to do in the next bit. 03:48.780 --> 03:51.690 So we're going to grab our board to just make a duplicate. 03:51.730 --> 03:58.990 OK so our board to hold down the option key on a Mac or on a PC conversion second version and then this 03:58.990 --> 04:02.590 one what I want to do is not only kind of colorize is actually an interesting aspect the black. 04:02.620 --> 04:04.530 I like when used to be black. 04:04.670 --> 04:05.000 OK. 04:05.020 --> 04:08.580 And it didn't really matter with multiply K can be a normal multiple I believe. 04:08.770 --> 04:14.090 They're both look the same but I'd like to do is I had these kind of guys up here grab these three Hey 04:14.230 --> 04:20.350 I'm going to just make them nice big stretch in the mountain and rotate them and all I really want to 04:20.350 --> 04:21.430 do is. 04:21.550 --> 04:25.870 And at the Leya order is kind of important kind of important it's very important. 04:26.050 --> 04:27.710 OK so I'm going to get them. 04:31.010 --> 04:33.210 What I can do is overlap this other document. 04:33.290 --> 04:33.680 OK. 04:33.710 --> 04:37.560 So I'm going to my left move this guy cross with my board. 04:37.720 --> 04:40.810 So there's a bit more space with me. 04:41.120 --> 04:41.590 All right. 04:41.600 --> 04:47.000 And so with these selected I'm going to send them to the back and bring them forward so they are kind 04:47.000 --> 04:52.640 of just one like just part of the gray but not of this takes because I don't want this collecting that 04:52.990 --> 04:53.320 now. 04:53.330 --> 04:54.290 Exactly same thing. 04:54.290 --> 05:01.150 I'm going to go through stroke and see where it is a pastie and pick another one of these. 05:01.150 --> 05:06.530 OK so you can do some really cool stuff with like different colors cakes. 05:06.630 --> 05:08.390 What does this color mode. 05:08.550 --> 05:10.180 It's quite cool. 05:10.340 --> 05:12.680 It's like too much just one of the boxes. 05:12.890 --> 05:15.390 And this one here is multiply. 05:15.500 --> 05:15.870 OK. 05:15.900 --> 05:16.810 And it's pretty cool. 05:17.050 --> 05:26.550 Calvin Litan like Calvin it's kind of cool kind of insta Grammy look and what we might do as well is 05:26.550 --> 05:30.780 draw a rectangle to crop these guys and something to make you sick. 05:30.780 --> 05:37.140 You and I you know it's like if all these boxes plus that image in the background kind of Graben hard 05:37.140 --> 05:43.690 to grab on Daniel professional grandma gettable. 05:44.000 --> 05:46.010 So everything selected this image. 05:46.010 --> 05:50.990 These boxes this sky here because this guy's up front I can hit command button on my keyboard control 05:51.020 --> 05:52.790 7 on a PC. 05:52.890 --> 05:53.830 OK just kind of. 05:53.930 --> 05:59.210 You know you do kind of crop them all and still live in a select on this and move it to the back so 05:59.210 --> 06:00.360 I can see my text. 06:00.380 --> 06:03.860 All right one last thing I'll show you and you sort of the beginning there I'm going to grab my iPod 06:03.910 --> 06:12.230 to shift over and I'm going to hold down the key option key and I'm going to reichlich release clipping 06:12.230 --> 06:13.040 mask. 06:13.070 --> 06:14.180 I don't want you guys anymore. 06:14.210 --> 06:15.180 Thank you very much. 06:15.180 --> 06:15.530 You got it. 06:15.530 --> 06:18.940 Two things one is the kind of posterized him. 06:18.970 --> 06:19.820 It's called halftone. 06:19.820 --> 06:25.550 Kind of a coup an exaggeration of old school printing nautical printing actual printing but we're going 06:25.550 --> 06:26.740 to blow it up to look quite cool. 06:26.750 --> 06:28.090 So we're going to select them. 06:28.100 --> 06:29.700 We're going to go to a fix. 06:29.840 --> 06:36.730 And then is going to try and remember which one this is an I guess a pixelate Coloe halftone. 06:36.890 --> 06:38.040 That's what I'm after. 06:38.260 --> 06:41.760 And I just leave all the poults and that's going to be our result. 06:41.780 --> 06:47.790 And what we might do is well just to kind of give it a little I don't know that is and if Affleck show 06:49.400 --> 06:50.310 it's what does it. 06:50.330 --> 06:52.180 It's making emitter gay. 06:52.190 --> 06:56.870 I love that series anyway and that's what we're going for anyway. 06:56.870 --> 07:00.830 We're going to go for a ridge and then we're going to go and play with the Pasotti. 07:00.980 --> 07:05.930 And actually we're playing with the blending mode inside of a Pasotti And here we're going to pick one 07:05.930 --> 07:09.820 of these right kind of simple Kalib in it. 07:10.070 --> 07:11.640 So that kind of look to it. 07:11.660 --> 07:12.550 Maybe I'm making that up. 07:12.560 --> 07:14.470 But you the idea right. 07:14.600 --> 07:17.840 And you can play around with obviously color halftone you can drag that off. 07:17.840 --> 07:23.480 Click on the sky and update it in here and decide kind of max radius channels 1 2 and 3 just kind of 07:23.530 --> 07:29.360 it is that this looks quite different and when you walk in with a colored image because we only have 07:29.360 --> 07:30.770 one channel being used. 07:30.770 --> 07:33.620 OK so play around with the colored image might look quite cool as well. 07:34.190 --> 07:35.380 All right my friends. 07:35.390 --> 07:42.420 That is how to work with black and white images and do some cool stuff with color blending modes. 07:42.440 --> 07:42.810 All right. 07:42.830 --> 07:44.060 Lol see in the next video.
