Great tute, took me a little while to figure out I had to change my tool menu from Basic to Advanced... just in case anyone else can't find the tools you use in the beginning
This was one of the best Illustrator tutorials I've ever watched! I am a self-taught graphic designer, so I've got pockets of knowledge that allow me to do what I need to do, but I've also got quite a few gaps. This tutorial goes through all of the important tools without being exhausting. It filled a TON of gaps for me in about an hour!
59:20 Instead of creating custom swatches with the lines, you could make the lines/abstract shape a pattern and select the option to size the pattern to the art. It behaves much better that way
At around 1:08:47, another way to round out that corner is to use the direct selection tool (A). Just select that specific anchor at the upper right, a circle with a dot in it's center will appear. Pull that circle 45 degrees downward opposite (in this case left), and it will start rounding that corner. How much roundness you want depends how far you pull the circle.
Good tutorial! Few notes: 58:52 (Use the pathfinder with the intersect option and you'll be left with the design you wanted in a square form) 1:00:41 Trim only the right and bottom edges so that you don't create white spaces when the shape repeats itself
Your tutorial is the most comprehensive one I've ever watched! You are such a great teacher! I do treasure the guidance you provide. Liked and subscribed! (Best regards from Indonesia)
Practice and learn something are the result of success. I am a graphic designer with having 1 year experience. But when I see Your tutorials , I realize that I'm just nothing to those designs. I'm still a junior In my career. These are so amazing. Thank you so much.
So far the best tutorial on TH-cam you could prescribe for empty headed person who desire to create logo is from this channel. You're marvellous. Thanks You. I think I know everything about logo making by now😀😀
Slam...Much respect for your work...Mashallah Your speaking and teaching style worth alot... Thanks for sharing this...May god bless you in this world and hereafter. جزاک اللہ خیرا کثیرا فی الدنیا و فی الآخرہ
59:43 sideways line works when you double click the pattern Swatch then tick the size tile to art and move tile with art. Also it helps me a lot thank you.
This is the best Illustrator tutorial on TH-cam... I've been looking for something like this for months!!! Thank you so much for sharing, and please keep on sharing videos like this one!
NTS: PATHFINDER 30:01 Join, minus front, intersect, exclude (opposite of Intersect) 32:10 Divide - where the shapes overlap are separated into separate shapes 33:40 Shape Builder Tool - Combine separate shapes into one 47:30 Smooth Tool - smoothes out a line 49:10 Knife Tool - Can cut apart shapes like a knife 56:50 Add Shapes/Patterns to Swatches (kinda sucks but OK)
Illustrator is probably one of the MOST useful programs in the Adobe spectrum, but I'm not sure I will ever feel like I will master it. I don't use it every day, so I struggle when I need to. Thanks to videos like this, I can get through it. Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial. A good tip for zooming in and out is ALT mouse scroll wheel. You don't need to fill a shape to make it a clipping mask - the clipping shape doesn't need a fill or a stroke. I can't get the stripy fills to work either.
I'm a beginner and started with this video, this is great tutorial and you are greatly explainer, teacher. Thank you so much. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️❤️❤️
Im good at drawing but i had no contact with illustrator before and took a job to design a logo. I was so frustrated clicking around and achieving nothing but nonsense. This tutorial covers a lot and really helped me out. Thanks for that
THANK YOU!! this was so incredibly helpful! in in graphic design school right now and there's a lot of self directed study. your classes are incredibly invaluable!! thanks again!
Oh my Gosh ... this youtube and well done tutorials ... I can have my Groundhog Day just watching all these and acquire all these skills without paying for expensive courses, going far places, etc. etc. ... I am sharing you, dude! A job well done! :-)
Complete introduction of all essential tools of illustrator in just 50 initial minutes and well explanation of tricky way of logo designing in rest of time. Effective way of teaching. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Thanks for landing me smoothly into illustrator and making me feel ready to use it. I'm corel user, i wanna move to illustrator for some reason. Thank YOU!
First time I learn about how to work with Adobe illustraitor using this tutorial.this video make me to easy learn them.thank you.and i subscribed you...😙❤
Great tutorial! One quick question... for the top corners on the final logo - your techniques are good methods but why wouldn't you just use the live corner radius tools built in to Illustrator?
Almost 3 years later and this video is gold for learning, enjoyed much !!! Learned a lot of stuff, I can do a decent logo. For watchers, put the speed to 1.5 and still you'll be able to enjoy the video (in case you feel like it's a long video).
But he did a good job telling what we don't know... I'm going on the internet for funny videos but some random women keep popping on the left top of the screen, telling us what we already know.. that is not ok.
Can't love you enough for this.. as I start earning some money, I wanna become a patron. Edit:: kindly make similar videos for Adobe XD, & InDesign & Figma please.
I wonder where those dislikes come from. Bro, I've seen some of your tutorials. They are very helpful. So why this is an Envato account? Your company? Anyway. Keep going. Looking forward to your new videos!!!
You are an amazing teacher.... If anyone learn this only , he can run a family.. i will definitely recommend this channel to everyone.. it is not only helpful it will make anyone master in AI

Great tute, took me a little while to figure out I had to change my tool menu from Basic to Advanced... just in case anyone else can't find the tools you use in the beginning
I thought it was worth an hour. After spending a day pausing and watching it, this is worth a career. Will really watch again. Thank you

Agreed. I'd normally ignore a video like this as too basic, but I learned a lot of little things I wouldn't have ever figured out on my own.
Great job
59:20 Instead of creating custom swatches with the lines, you could make the lines/abstract shape a pattern and select the option to size the pattern to the art. It behaves much better that way
I strongly recommend this channel to the pros and the beginners alike.
I learned many new things today.
This is honestly SOOOOOO good. Half an hour in and I learned so much, unbelievable.
At around 1:08:47, another way to round out that corner is to use the direct selection tool (A). Just select that specific anchor at the upper right, a circle with a dot in it's center will appear. Pull that circle 45 degrees downward opposite (in this case left), and it will start rounding that corner. How much roundness you want depends how far you pull the circle.
14 minutes in and this is more helpful than courses I've paid for.
This is the most helpful illustrator tutorial I could ever watch. You just made illustrator a whole lot easier for me. Thanks man, you rock.
This is one of the best tutorials for all stages. Thanks for your effort and offering it free.

Great video. 4 years later, and it's still helping. The "apply to swatches" and "distribute shapes evenly" really help.
Glad it helped!
36:35 didn't have to shit on sound cloud and make their logo in 15 seconds! Lol. Great tutorial though really! Best I've found in years!
that logo is used for literally every cloud based brand.
That technique with inverting the circle to cut it out is great, I have never thought of that!

Best 1.5 hrs spent on youtube.
Almost 3 years later and this video is gold for learning, enjoyed much !!! Learned a lot of stuff, I can do a decent logo.
For watchers, put the speed to 1.5 and still you'll be able to enjoy the video (in case you feel like it's a long video).
OK.Am I the only one who realized that the guy was at the bottom of the screen the whole time?(Time I realized it 1.02.33
me as well
I didnt realise that at alll........
Scare me！
Aha yep hiding down there in the corner ;)
But he did a good job telling what we don't know... I'm going on the internet for funny videos but some random women keep popping on the left top of the screen, telling us what we already know.. that is not ok.
I tried a few paid courses for over 2 weeks and then stumbled upon this this was the best 1 hour recap I have come across amazing tutorials
Thanks... You are the best teacher, its perfect tutorial ... May God bless you.... (Regard fr Indonesia)
Simple and step by step explanation. Good video. something that i was looking forward to.

I wonder where those dislikes come from. Bro, I've seen some of your tutorials. They are very helpful. So why this is an Envato account? Your company? Anyway. Keep going. Looking forward to your new videos!!!
Maybe people that don't want competition :D
Maybe it's the smacking when he talks. His mic is so good I can hear every strand of phlegm snap as it reaches its breaking point.
@@markd6993 Honestly if this tutorial wasn't as good as it is I'd have clicked off ages ago. It's so bad
Thanks to you and your handwork.
Narrator: "I dunno what shape that is"
Me: *Wu-Tang Clan*
TNice tutorialS WAS SOOOOOO HELPFUL!!
59:00 when you're making these "shape" swatches... Maybe we need to make a pattern and then a clipping mask? I am just guessing...
Insanely good and free content! Thank you!
Hi! So glad you found the content helpful! We love sharing resources. Keep up the creativity! 🎨
Cheers!
7:58 "I dont know what that is btw." - ITS PIKACHUS TAIL!!!
