WEBVTT 00:00.420 --> 00:05.940 Hey there and this video we're going to make charts and graphs and pie charts and things will even make 00:05.940 --> 00:08.430 in 3D like this guy down the bottom here. 00:08.430 --> 00:11.580 All right let's go and do that now in Adobe Illustrator. 00:11.580 --> 00:11.990 All right. 00:12.000 --> 00:14.440 So I've just started with a blank document. 00:14.640 --> 00:19.010 And you want to go and find that all you want is this tool here. 00:19.200 --> 00:24.230 OK so hover down yours might look slightly different depending on which one was last used. 00:24.250 --> 00:30.090 We can use the column graph too even though I consider that a Barcott parting shot goes all bar Biograph 00:30.090 --> 00:32.970 goes left to right when you use this one. 00:32.970 --> 00:37.000 Now when I create my graph you really need to decide how big you want it. 00:37.200 --> 00:39.750 Surprisingly hard to resize afterwards. 00:39.900 --> 00:44.070 I'm going to click hold and drag out a kind of rough size y graph. 00:44.100 --> 00:47.370 You can realize it but easy to do here. 00:47.610 --> 00:51.230 And what we want to do now what you mean to do is to click this option. 00:51.270 --> 00:58.870 Import data and data and from your exercise files pick charts bar to open and it freaks out. 00:58.870 --> 01:06.100 OK so basically it has to be such specific the formatted data that is pretty much useless. 01:06.100 --> 01:12.420 So the easy way it's not useless but it is yes quite specific so open it up and something like Excel 01:12.450 --> 01:14.150 or Google sheets or what have you. 01:14.160 --> 01:16.920 Access to the default for Mac. 01:17.130 --> 01:22.050 Remember anyway and I'm going to copy and paste the data I need now be very specific about what you 01:22.050 --> 01:26.850 copy and I'm going to copy this excluding the title clean and that afterwards it's not. 01:26.880 --> 01:30.160 It's not that clever like Excel is copyright. 01:30.300 --> 01:36.900 And I'm going to go to illustrator and click in the first field here and paste it in this tick box that 01:36.900 --> 01:39.520 little tick kind of says Go and look at it again. 01:39.600 --> 01:41.230 And it's pretty good huh. 01:41.550 --> 01:43.290 Now there's a couple of things you got to want to do. 01:43.290 --> 01:48.150 One is let's say I click on this and I accidentally one accidentally close that column. 01:48.200 --> 01:50.060 I'm finished with that called the Data panel. 01:50.070 --> 01:51.880 Now I want to go and adjust this. 01:51.900 --> 01:55.720 OK so let's say I want to change the fonts can grab my. 01:55.770 --> 02:00.480 It's nice to work with the direct selection to try to ungroup it because at the moment it's a dynamic 02:01.470 --> 02:03.090 chart that I can adjust afterwards. 02:03.090 --> 02:06.240 But if I ungroup it it kind of turns into shapes and pieces. 02:06.240 --> 02:10.450 So I was going to select actually what I do with black arrows like the whole thing. 02:10.560 --> 02:13.090 And you can see here my character panel I'm just going to pick Musea. 02:13.110 --> 02:19.350 So this is where you edge your and I guess your niceness. 02:19.350 --> 02:23.970 Niceness and not all the way I want but you know and six it up a little bit. 02:23.970 --> 02:27.040 Another nice word with that I didn't want you really. 02:27.070 --> 02:28.120 Am I going to go through. 02:28.290 --> 02:33.090 And I'm using the why are there direct selection tools really handy for just going through and going 02:33.090 --> 02:33.670 I want you. 02:33.880 --> 02:45.280 When you say pick you call them all please hold this last one. 02:45.630 --> 02:47.730 So yeah we've customized it a little bit. 02:47.730 --> 02:50.070 Now let's say we want to change it. 02:50.070 --> 02:55.550 K as in some of the maybe it's the sales report so next month that's a little different. 02:55.680 --> 02:57.100 Now to update it. 02:57.150 --> 03:01.290 We want to do is with it selected on the new version of Illustrator you can just that graph data and 03:01.290 --> 03:02.410 it pops back up. 03:02.500 --> 03:07.740 You can go and either copy and paste it and replace it or what have you want to do let's say that things 03:07.740 --> 03:10.740 change and it's no longer under 50 it's 110. 03:10.740 --> 03:12.180 Things were going bad for Bernie. 03:12.180 --> 03:15.100 Click on the little tick and it's adjusted. 03:15.130 --> 03:19.590 And another thing you might do is you might adjust well that's on the new version I'll just quickly 03:19.590 --> 03:25.980 explain for people in the old version you go into object graph and data brings back the same thing data 03:26.850 --> 03:29.500 and let's say you want to change the chart. 03:29.570 --> 03:36.030 OK so in that option over here on the properties go to graph type we just go through and say is all 03:36.030 --> 03:36.970 these options along here. 03:37.090 --> 03:39.270 We're going to pick a pie chart. 03:39.270 --> 03:41.020 Actually let's look at lunch. 03:41.770 --> 03:43.220 No to do that. 03:43.490 --> 03:44.830 OK. 03:44.880 --> 03:50.090 Now the way I think about pie charts is that you need to have that data in the right kind of format. 03:50.100 --> 03:56.510 So I'm going to go to graph data and basically what we need to do is here we transpose Rohin height. 03:56.520 --> 04:03.340 It wants to see the information kind of going that way which this eclectic in life is good again. 04:03.380 --> 04:07.450 Do my clothes are gone which I couldn't live with so I've gone and colored it. 04:07.590 --> 04:14.870 And so there are a couple of things you can also do now is with the white arrow we can select on this 04:14.940 --> 04:22.140 and what we're trying not to do is breaking that link between it being like an active graph or so we 04:22.140 --> 04:23.910 can update it and change it easily. 04:23.910 --> 04:28.110 So I'm going to grab my arm and we can do cool stuff like this where I drag it out to maybe have like 04:28.110 --> 04:29.940 a pull out where I explain a little bit more. 04:30.060 --> 04:36.510 And the cool thing about it is if I click on with my black again this data is alive when I can go through 04:36.510 --> 04:38.580 and say actually this is back to 350. 04:38.580 --> 04:39.590 I made a mistake here. 04:39.780 --> 04:41.020 OK an eclectic. 04:41.160 --> 04:44.760 And everything adjusts to keeping that can the connection to the data. 04:44.970 --> 04:49.760 But there are times where you do need to kind of break that and I'll show you a couple of reasons why. 04:50.010 --> 04:53.660 And then he closes down one cheap trick actually going to undo it. 04:53.700 --> 04:55.230 So that's back in the there. 04:55.410 --> 05:00.180 Cheap Trick is I want to make it like a donut like you saw at the front then on the intro and you could 05:00.180 --> 05:03.970 cut a hole in it or etching in a start from the scene to here. 05:04.170 --> 05:04.750 OK. 05:04.920 --> 05:08.990 Hold down the shift and the old draw circle from the center. 05:09.390 --> 05:15.320 And I should knock a hole in it and make it a compound shape or just put a white circle in the cane 05:15.390 --> 05:17.160 looks like a donut shape. 05:17.160 --> 05:21.360 The other thing I want to do is I'm going to click a and I want to get rid of the stroke or on the outside 05:21.720 --> 05:30.960 game I can do that easy enough stroke to I'm guessing here and can you do that you can totally awesome 05:31.290 --> 05:34.670 that circle also needs a coach. 05:34.680 --> 05:36.830 Now it's looking OK. 05:36.960 --> 05:42.040 So we've still retained all that and I guess a connection. 05:42.180 --> 05:47.550 OK so what I want to do now is I want to actually break that connection because it will do some cool 05:47.550 --> 05:49.260 3D stuff like this or at the beginning. 05:49.260 --> 05:53.610 So making a copy of my good one with all the data still connected. 05:53.620 --> 05:58.290 There are times when you want to say I actually want to smash this to pieces so I can do some cool things 05:58.290 --> 06:04.740 with it and do it feel like you want to object expand but you can click on that for ever and it doesn't 06:04.740 --> 06:05.040 work. 06:05.040 --> 06:10.110 You need to actually go ungroup in this case is a little strange as it's going to break that link. 06:10.110 --> 06:13.740 I say yes because I got some stuff to do and what I might do. 06:13.740 --> 06:22.680 First of all is I might do a proper compound shape k where I select all of us. 06:22.710 --> 06:23.670 These are all connected. 06:23.680 --> 06:24.050 They. 06:24.060 --> 06:26.820 I'm going to have to ungroup them get them again. 06:26.900 --> 06:29.910 But some pieces are really still connected. 06:29.910 --> 06:33.010 Stop being connected and grouping lots. 06:33.270 --> 06:34.750 Now they're all separate pieces. 06:34.980 --> 06:41.190 So I'm going to click all these and I grab my shape builder to K and membra I hold them my option key 06:41.190 --> 06:43.920 on a Mac or PC or a little circle. 06:44.070 --> 06:46.040 And now there's a hole in the middle. 06:46.050 --> 06:47.340 How do I know there's a hole in the middle. 06:47.340 --> 06:54.720 I can use my shortcut command shift the K to see the transparency grid and turn it off your PC is control 06:54.720 --> 06:55.680 shifty. 06:55.680 --> 06:57.210 Why do we need an actual hole. 06:57.210 --> 06:59.280 Because we want to make that 3D shake. 06:59.280 --> 07:02.800 So with this selected what it might do is make another copy of this. 07:02.850 --> 07:04.240 I have copies everywhere. 07:04.620 --> 07:05.830 Let's go to effect. 07:05.850 --> 07:09.990 Let's go to 3-D and extrude and bevels going to do the look we want. 07:09.990 --> 07:13.830 Now this click on preview and it's not Groote. 07:13.890 --> 07:17.400 So that's going to do really weird stuff which this. 07:17.550 --> 07:18.230 Can so. 07:18.260 --> 07:21.530 So we need to group it and also make sure there's no striker on the outside. 07:21.530 --> 07:25.550 If you have a black stroke or on the outside it makes it look a little lame when it gets into 3-D. 07:25.590 --> 07:27.060 We just have black edges. 07:27.280 --> 07:34.390 So back into effect 3D extrude click on preview and now I get to do some fun stuff. 07:36.240 --> 07:38.600 Well Fun is fun with graphic. 07:38.790 --> 07:39.900 It's pretty cool though. 07:40.230 --> 07:40.840 I like it. 07:40.840 --> 07:42.920 Anyway let's click. 07:42.960 --> 07:43.600 Oh. 07:43.730 --> 07:44.640 OK. 07:44.730 --> 07:51.180 And one thing you can do is you can go to outline view so command Y or control y k or you it's this 07:51.180 --> 07:55.550 one here to that in and out and you can kind of look at it still in plain view. 07:55.710 --> 07:59.030 And what you might decide is grab the black arrow. 07:59.140 --> 08:00.200 It's grouped. 08:00.270 --> 08:03.090 Double click it to go inside the group. 08:03.090 --> 08:08.160 Now I'm going to click this one chunk going to be a little slow because it's doing 3D stuff in the background. 08:08.410 --> 08:11.520 I'm going to click this error loads of times until it disappears. 08:11.670 --> 08:17.760 I mean c'mon Wagen to go back and you can kind of do this like 3D pull out thing you feel like it needs 08:17.760 --> 08:18.900 to be rotated around. 08:18.930 --> 08:23.700 I should have done this in the 3D view because it's really weird if you try and rotate it it's rotating 08:23.700 --> 08:29.040 it but then going back to the 3D and doing some weeds but we're not going to cover a line charts and 08:29.280 --> 08:35.150 graphs it's all basically the same dump in the data and you might as clean the data up a little bit 08:35.220 --> 08:37.140 and then it's been it's kind of making it look nice. 08:37.150 --> 08:42.600 Now I've like these are some examples of things I've done that are not beautiful but it's you know it's 08:42.700 --> 08:44.610 kind of like fancy app. 08:44.620 --> 08:46.120 Hmm. 08:46.210 --> 08:46.410 Yeah. 08:46.470 --> 08:50.290 Graphs and data for and you reports those types of things. 08:51.200 --> 08:51.770 All right. 08:51.780 --> 08:54.440 There is going to be it about how to do it. 08:54.450 --> 08:56.550 There's a couple of other things I want to show you. 08:56.730 --> 08:57.740 And one. 08:57.790 --> 09:00.560 Yeah actually let's go and jump to the other stuff now. 09:00.750 --> 09:06.140 All right well we we are in the middle of a sales pitch kind of and I guess I want to show you. 09:06.150 --> 09:10.380 We'll take it from now so I often get my kind of graphs to a certain level and then I want to animate 09:10.380 --> 09:13.580 them right and illustrate is not the tool to do it. 09:13.740 --> 09:18.250 It's really after effects and I've got a cost for that and I'm going to kind of show you not to sell 09:18.300 --> 09:19.650 because kind of the selling goes. 09:19.650 --> 09:22.680 But this does show you like what you can do with graphs. 09:22.680 --> 09:26.670 So it's called Out of his realization and it made it in for graphics and there's lots of pictures of 09:26.670 --> 09:27.180 me. 09:27.240 --> 09:28.720 I shouldn't shave. 09:28.950 --> 09:35.010 But it does a lot of things that we transform graphs from say excel or Illustrator and we do really 09:37.400 --> 09:44.880 like an immediate being kind of see those same graphs with a little bit of I don't know a little bit 09:44.880 --> 09:50.920 of animation just kind of brings them to life if you're doing PowerPoint presentations and you know 09:52.260 --> 09:54.480 things for YouTube. 09:54.510 --> 09:54.930 Yes. 09:54.990 --> 09:59.070 So it just covers any other nice looking things like just me. 09:59.310 --> 10:07.380 And so you check out that or you don't have to do my course but go and check out check out the after 10:07.380 --> 10:11.000 effects for animating that sort of thing. 10:11.010 --> 10:12.260 Now don't go yet. 10:12.300 --> 10:16.530 OK the next one is not a sales pitch but it is future awesomeness. 10:16.530 --> 10:17.940 Let's jump to that now. 10:17.940 --> 10:18.360 All right. 10:18.360 --> 10:19.680 Where have I brought you. 10:19.680 --> 10:23.720 I want you to watch U.S.-EU with me. 10:23.910 --> 10:24.840 It's worth watching. 10:24.840 --> 10:26.030 I promise you I'm gonna. 10:26.040 --> 10:30.460 You can go and just go look at project Lincoln Binod Kerr. 10:30.480 --> 10:35.410 He's a Kiwi guy and this is Max right there big conference they have every year. 10:35.460 --> 10:37.120 I'm lucky enough to speak at it. 10:37.220 --> 10:42.810 And if you ever get to go this is in L.A. last year was Vegas fery exciting ride twenty thousand creatives 10:42.810 --> 10:46.070 doing cause I'm doing presentations and awesome things. 10:46.080 --> 10:47.160 Come check it out. 10:47.220 --> 10:52.980 And but they've got this thing called it dobi snakes and all it sneaks out is like what Adobe are doing 10:52.980 --> 10:57.480 in the background is not released yet but that stuff they're trying to work on and off talking. 10:57.480 --> 10:58.650 I'm just going to let this play out. 10:58.650 --> 11:00.380 This is me ending the video. 11:00.510 --> 11:01.700 You don't have to watch anymore. 11:01.770 --> 11:02.940 It's six minutes long. 11:02.940 --> 11:03.660 You can watch it. 11:03.660 --> 11:04.860 You don't have to buy it. 11:04.860 --> 11:06.460 Man it's cold. 11:06.750 --> 11:08.210 I hope it's going to be out soon. 11:08.400 --> 11:09.820 OK let's play. 11:09.840 --> 11:14.370 Don't mind me saying Everybody welcome Bernard her with Project Lincoln. 11:14.820 --> 11:16.180 My microphone also. 11:18.450 --> 11:20.010 Hello Max. 11:20.060 --> 11:21.150 Good of you out there. 11:21.150 --> 11:27.040 If I had to make a nice looking chart or data visualization counting you're right. 11:27.270 --> 11:30.390 Have you found the process painfully slow and frustrating. 11:30.420 --> 11:31.890 Yes. 11:31.890 --> 11:35.570 Would you like some super powers able to do it at lightning speed. 11:36.150 --> 11:37.020 All right. 11:37.260 --> 11:43.650 I get to say this is the first time I've heard a crowd cheer for data visualization. 11:43.650 --> 11:45.070 All right. 11:45.360 --> 11:50.400 In the past you're probably going to use one of three different approaches that have tried doing something 11:50.400 --> 11:55.830 from scratch you might have found a template that was close but not quite exactly what you wanted. 11:55.830 --> 12:01.390 Boy you went off and learned how to code or some combination of the three. 12:02.670 --> 12:07.470 So all these approaches start with data that sort of stops them from machine and sprits how to visualize 12:07.470 --> 12:14.850 zation project Lincoln flips inside on its head and says What if you could sketch first and then bind 12:14.850 --> 12:17.180 your drawing to data. 12:17.280 --> 12:22.190 So that means any of the visual properties of something you've drawn could be down to data that could 12:22.190 --> 12:28.120 be its position its size its color even takes to be bound to data. 12:28.770 --> 12:33.180 And these data driven drawing tools live on top of the drawing tools you already know and love. 12:33.180 --> 12:39.060 So let me show you how this works by trying to build you a poster for my friend Kim Chambers. 12:39.180 --> 12:44.900 You may remember him for the first the last couple of years. 12:45.230 --> 12:50.940 No no need to seek social Sourcery an extraordinary swimmer and I knew that one of seven people on the 12:50.940 --> 12:56.370 planet to have swum the oceans seven grueling marathons swims all around the world. 12:56.700 --> 12:58.520 So I'm going to make a post for her. 12:58.710 --> 13:02.380 So we're going to do here in Lincoln I'm going to bring in a simple spreadsheet. 13:03.160 --> 13:06.120 And this is for the North Channel swim. 13:06.770 --> 13:07.180 OK. 13:07.200 --> 13:11.040 So from this trip we're going to grab these variable names from the top of the spreadsheet and put it 13:11.040 --> 13:12.120 into this pallet. 13:12.310 --> 13:15.530 This is what we're going to use to find out doing the data. 13:15.900 --> 13:22.590 So if I want to make a batch I just make a bar the size and shape and color that I want and then when 13:22.590 --> 13:27.910 I had to repeat grid I get a Barfy each of those swimmers. 13:27.960 --> 13:34.200 Now if I want to set the length of this bar I can select the right hand side and bind it to the time 13:34.200 --> 13:35.420 variable. 13:36.120 --> 13:41.770 And that all these points are bound to time and I can adjust them with his axes control. 13:42.530 --> 13:43.390 If I add some 13:47.290 --> 13:53.070 this I just had to take it at this point it's the same all the way down but I can find that two names 13:54.340 --> 14:02.030 I could do the same for time and I'm going to another I said why be here and grab a swimmer. 14:02.770 --> 14:05.610 So I'm sitting here repeated the same way all the way down. 14:05.620 --> 14:08.680 But I've got this new concept which I call a sticky Anca. 14:08.990 --> 14:13.280 We showed up her relationship to the anchor point of one object and the point of another. 14:13.490 --> 14:15.020 And now I head this offset 14:24.640 --> 14:27.590 now I'm going to throw in a flag. 14:28.400 --> 14:34.220 Obviously you know all these swimmers that from New Zealand like me and can really the country variable. 14:34.460 --> 14:35.570 Sorry. 14:36.370 --> 14:37.520 Fill that in. 14:37.780 --> 14:38.390 OK. 14:38.460 --> 14:46.660 So here is Kim and she looks like you're in the wrong bathing suit so let me find that swimmer so the 14:47.000 --> 14:56.930 variable i now have three women have done these crazy swims and they look 17 hours in the water is a 14:56.930 --> 14:58.270 long time right. 14:58.720 --> 14:58.990 OK. 14:59.000 --> 15:01.490 So now I'm sort of happy with my design here. 15:01.650 --> 15:05.830 I came to play like all these finding for each of the other swimmers now. 15:05.900 --> 15:10.470 So now they automatically get regenerated based on the data 15:22.840 --> 15:26.680 I can also throw these all on the same page at the same time. 15:30.400 --> 15:34.140 So small multiples and I can control the spacing between them too. 15:34.510 --> 15:39.960 So maybe not your cup of tea then we will try something a little more sophisticated right. 15:40.170 --> 15:43.070 So now I'm going to do a with a radial. 15:43.080 --> 15:48.420 Now if you know what a way the radio is it's actually a crystallization of where they're showing you 15:48.420 --> 15:52.710 the high and low temperatures every day of the year for an entire year all in one go. 15:53.130 --> 15:59.430 So this would be really useful to know about when she's planning the swims to know what time of the 15:59.430 --> 16:01.750 year to go for these crazy swims. 16:01.780 --> 16:06.360 So this time I'm going to find the right hand side of this part of the high temperature for the day. 16:06.360 --> 16:09.090 The left hand side is going to be down to the low. 16:09.170 --> 16:15.990 And now when they hit the repeat grade I have 365 of these files and then arranged chart and now I'm 16:15.990 --> 16:23.440 going to find the color of this bar to the average temperature with this new color control. 16:23.460 --> 16:30.170 So these guys are running off the page 365 and now I'm going to throw them into a radio pad and then 16:30.180 --> 16:30.600 we have a 16:39.860 --> 16:42.760 of course we can apply these findings to all those different cities. 16:42.770 --> 16:49.610 It would be something fun to work out what we have to go so I don't have time to do a full post here 16:49.640 --> 16:52.830 but here is this is a design that I worked on earlier. 16:53.120 --> 16:55.360 He taught 17:01.670 --> 17:08.430 so I just built 14 data visualisations simple and complex ones with total creative control and freedom 17:08.520 --> 17:11.130 in less than four minutes. 17:11.400 --> 17:12.530 Cool guys. 17:17.570 --> 17:23.410 I'm hoping we're all going to do a class very soon on how to use Lincoln or whatever they end up calling 17:23.410 --> 17:24.160 it. 17:24.720 --> 17:25.420 Yes. 17:25.630 --> 17:26.410 All right. 17:26.500 --> 17:28.260 That's the end of this one. 17:28.260 --> 17:31.470 I'm having fun watching YouTube with you. 17:31.520 --> 17:37.390 We should do it again or in the next video we'll do something a little little bit or Illustrator. 17:37.560 --> 17:38.410 Don't do that now.
