0 1 00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:01,875 Hi there, in this video we're going to make... 1 2 00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:05,438 this rather hypnotic repeating pattern in Adobe Illustrator. 2 3 00:00:05,594 --> 00:00:07,727 We're going to look at some more advanced features in this video. 3 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,273 Also do things like this where we get it to kind of map around. 4 5 00:00:11,298 --> 00:00:12,343 That's meant to be a pocket. 5 6 00:00:13,016 --> 00:00:13,961 It's a terrible pocket. 6 7 00:00:14,648 --> 00:00:18,156 This is where we're going to pull it, and really kind of whoop it. 7 8 00:00:18,718 --> 00:00:20,758 We'll show you how to do that now in Illustrator. 8 9 00:00:21,578 --> 00:00:24,219 First up, open up 'patterns.ai'. 9 10 00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:26,250 They're in your exercise files. 10 11 00:00:26,275 --> 00:00:29,359 You don't have to, these are just some shapes we're going to use as an example. 11 12 00:00:29,384 --> 00:00:31,195 You can totally use your own. 12 13 00:00:31,398 --> 00:00:33,766 You can't use these particular ones for any other work... 13 14 00:00:33,791 --> 00:00:36,023 because they are stock library images... 14 15 00:00:36,156 --> 00:00:38,351 made by the handsome Robert Filip. 15 16 00:00:38,398 --> 00:00:40,797 Spelt F-I-L-I-P. 16 17 00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:44,710 So you can go to stock.adobe.com, and buy those if you want to use them. 17 18 00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:47,758 What we're going to do is select them all, and just move them off to the edge. 18 19 00:00:47,930 --> 00:00:49,953 We're going to build our very first... 19 20 00:00:50,203 --> 00:00:52,015 kind of repeating thing like you saw at the beginning there. 20 21 00:00:52,117 --> 00:00:56,328 We're just going to make some sort of thing. 21 22 00:00:56,961 --> 00:00:58,949 Plain old Layer order, and just getting started. 22 23 00:00:58,974 --> 00:01:01,594 Now, my advice always is to... 23 24 00:01:01,619 --> 00:01:05,648 not spend too long kind of doing it here, to jump straight into the Pattern Tool... 24 25 00:01:06,012 --> 00:01:08,495 because you'll find that things just look different... 25 26 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,936 once they're actually getting repeated. 26 27 00:01:09,961 --> 00:01:13,398 So get started here, get some sort of thing going. 27 28 00:01:14,289 --> 00:01:16,219 Once you're ready, select them all. 28 29 00:01:16,492 --> 00:01:19,070 You need to go to this thing here, 'Window'-- 29 30 00:01:19,102 --> 00:01:22,664 This is the most insignificant name for that most awesome tool. 30 31 00:01:22,691 --> 00:01:23,878 It's called Pattern Options. 31 32 00:01:24,355 --> 00:01:25,448 You never click it... 32 33 00:01:25,504 --> 00:01:27,370 but this option, this thing opens... 33 34 00:01:27,395 --> 00:01:31,027 and doesn't look it's usable, click on this option that says 'Make Pattern'. 34 35 00:01:31,355 --> 00:01:33,394 It's a bit of a weird one to get going. 35 36 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:37,878 It says it's put a Swatch in my Swatches Panel, over here. 36 37 00:01:37,903 --> 00:01:40,995 You can kind of see a tiny version of it here in my Swatches Panel. 37 38 00:01:42,191 --> 00:01:44,730 Now, it's the Pattern making time. 38 39 00:01:44,948 --> 00:01:47,901 We need to give ours a name, we're going to call ours 'Retro'. 39 40 00:01:49,596 --> 00:01:51,103 Couple of things before we start playing around... 40 41 00:01:51,128 --> 00:01:52,729 with sizes, width, and things. 41 42 00:01:52,823 --> 00:01:55,558 It's that I don't like it when it dims these extra copies. 42 43 00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:58,269 Let's turn that off, I'd like to see it, natural fact. 43 44 00:01:58,987 --> 00:02:03,813 Other things we'll turn off and on is, we'll leave the Tile Edge 'on'... 44 45 00:02:04,157 --> 00:02:08,079 and we'll turn the Size Tile to Art 'off'. 45 46 00:02:08,571 --> 00:02:10,251 Move Tile with Art 'on'. 46 47 00:02:10,696 --> 00:02:13,048 Just follow me, I'll explain it when we get out of here... 47 48 00:02:13,073 --> 00:02:14,845 why we do all these things. 48 49 00:02:15,938 --> 00:02:17,806 Turn those on and off to match mine. 49 50 00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:20,939 Now we're going to play around with this, the important part... 50 51 00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:25,509 which of these ways-- there's no right or wrong way. 51 52 00:02:25,534 --> 00:02:28,517 I end up always using Hex though, Hex by Row or Column. 52 53 00:02:28,712 --> 00:02:30,541 Gives me the best kind of feel for what I want. 53 54 00:02:30,566 --> 00:02:33,010 Doesn't matter, just find something that works for you. 54 55 00:02:33,377 --> 00:02:35,307 I'm going to start by 'Hex by Column'. 55 56 00:02:36,705 --> 00:02:39,580 Now what I want to do is, decide, kind of-- 56 57 00:02:39,815 --> 00:02:41,143 There's two things I can do. 57 58 00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:44,502 Say I want it to come in tighter, it's easy to use this tool here. 58 59 00:02:44,527 --> 00:02:46,330 'Pattern Tile Tool', click on that. 59 60 00:02:46,518 --> 00:02:48,635 And I'm going to grab one of the corners, hold 'Shift'. 60 61 00:02:48,892 --> 00:02:54,596 Just kind of shrink it down, so that it resizes, and gets in tighter again. 61 62 00:02:55,463 --> 00:02:57,354 Up to you, I'm going to undo; didn't like that... 62 63 00:02:57,619 --> 00:02:58,877 but that's the way to do it. 63 64 00:02:59,361 --> 00:03:01,752 What I'm going to do is start rearranging this stuff... 64 65 00:03:01,777 --> 00:03:04,135 to kind of start maybe looking better. 65 66 00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:07,924 Start filling this gap better, you can play around with size and scale. 66 67 00:03:07,949 --> 00:03:10,033 Just like you're working in Illustrator, okay? 67 68 00:03:12,414 --> 00:03:15,187 Now you can also bring other new parts in. 68 69 00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:17,023 You don't have to really decide at the beginning. 69 70 00:03:17,164 --> 00:03:19,476 Let's say I-- what we want to do-- 70 71 00:03:19,501 --> 00:03:22,780 It's kind of weird, right? Click on 'Done' to get out of here. 71 72 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,030 Couple of weird things happen as I-- it's all gone. 72 73 00:03:26,281 --> 00:03:28,406 These things here under Pattern are just kind of-- 73 74 00:03:28,742 --> 00:03:31,601 These guys are useless now, we're going to use this but we don't need them anymore. 74 75 00:03:31,626 --> 00:03:34,405 Let's say draw something else, we draw an Ellipse. 75 76 00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:37,336 And we draw-- I steal colors from this. 76 77 00:03:38,830 --> 00:03:41,796 I'm going to draw a couple of them, and just scale the colors. 77 78 00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:50,609 Pretty exciting, Dan. Nice work. 78 79 00:03:50,634 --> 00:03:54,086 I'm going to copy them-- they're useless now again. 79 80 00:03:54,546 --> 00:03:56,601 What I'm going to do is jump back into that Swatch. 80 81 00:03:56,626 --> 00:03:58,764 You just double click it over here in the Swatches Panel... 81 82 00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:59,788 and it comes back to life. 82 83 00:03:59,813 --> 00:04:02,210 You're inside kind of no man's land in here. 83 84 00:04:03,023 --> 00:04:04,234 Now I can paste him in. 84 85 00:04:04,718 --> 00:04:07,093 I could have actually just drawn him in here, couldn't I? 85 86 00:04:09,437 --> 00:04:10,468 I'm doing this. 86 87 00:04:10,493 --> 00:04:15,155 Why? Because I just want to fill it in with just some no man's land gaps here. 87 88 00:04:15,812 --> 00:04:17,468 Then I just want to put in-- 88 89 00:04:18,913 --> 00:04:20,999 We can play with the Layer order. 89 90 00:04:21,545 --> 00:04:22,687 Kind of happy with that one. 90 91 00:04:22,712 --> 00:04:26,017 So once you're happy with everything there's a couple of things we need to do. 91 92 00:04:26,042 --> 00:04:27,170 Let's click done. 92 93 00:04:27,437 --> 00:04:29,851 Let's apply it now, because that actually doesn't exist anywhere. 93 94 00:04:29,876 --> 00:04:31,211 I'm going to go to 'Rectangle Tool'. 94 95 00:04:31,586 --> 00:04:34,905 I'm going to grab a nice big rectangle to cover the background... 95 96 00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:37,234 and connect there. 96 97 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,648 Mine by default has filled it, yours might not. 97 98 00:04:39,673 --> 00:04:41,601 You might click on this as well, you might be like-- 98 99 00:04:41,626 --> 00:04:43,382 Yours might be filled with, say white. 99 100 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:46,476 And you might click on the 'Swatch' to fill it, and you go 'Fill'. 100 101 00:04:47,281 --> 00:04:50,140 It does it all the time, can you see, it's actually filled the Stroke. 101 102 00:04:50,366 --> 00:04:52,429 There's a tiny pattern around the outside. 102 103 00:04:52,664 --> 00:04:55,101 So make sure the Fill here has no Stroke. 103 104 00:04:56,256 --> 00:04:59,546 Sorry, the Stroke has no Stroke, and the Fill is this guy. 104 105 00:05:00,584 --> 00:05:02,225 You probably do it over here, Dan; just easier. 105 106 00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:04,577 Click on 'Fill', 'Stroke, have no Stroke. 106 107 00:05:05,772 --> 00:05:07,584 So those .options I kind of talked about earlier... 107 108 00:05:07,609 --> 00:05:09,530 let's discuss those, and what they mean. 108 109 00:05:09,725 --> 00:05:12,561 One of the option that says Resize to Tile Art. 109 110 00:05:12,663 --> 00:05:15,233 It just means that when I resize this... 110 111 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,131 it resizes, it comes along for the ride. 111 112 00:05:18,334 --> 00:05:20,249 If you have that ticked... 112 113 00:05:20,905 --> 00:05:23,124 it will try and stay the right size. 113 114 00:05:23,149 --> 00:05:25,834 That's fine, there might be a reason why you want that... 114 115 00:05:25,859 --> 00:05:27,964 but it doesn't really matter because you can do it afterwards. 115 116 00:05:27,989 --> 00:05:29,553 Let's have look at that. 116 117 00:05:30,011 --> 00:05:31,287 There's kind of two uses. 117 118 00:05:31,312 --> 00:05:34,371 Let's say this is a repeating pattern, and say you're a Fashion Designer... 118 119 00:05:35,405 --> 00:05:37,222 and you want resize something down... 119 120 00:05:37,247 --> 00:05:39,991 say you're making a pocket, or an insert, something smaller... 120 121 00:05:40,016 --> 00:05:41,957 but you don’t want the pattern to resize, because it can't... 121 122 00:05:41,982 --> 00:05:44,506 it's the fabric pattern, and that's done. 122 123 00:05:44,531 --> 00:05:45,839 You can't resize it, right? 123 124 00:05:46,558 --> 00:05:47,893 So what you can do is... 124 125 00:05:47,918 --> 00:05:51,467 you can turn it on and off by going to 'Window', 'Transform'. 125 126 00:05:52,139 --> 00:05:55,194 And in here there's some sneaky options in the Burger menu. 126 127 00:05:55,538 --> 00:05:57,264 And it's this group here. 127 128 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,006 By default it's on both. 128 129 00:05:59,178 --> 00:06:01,694 It means, when I transform the object, which is the rectangle... 129 130 00:06:01,719 --> 00:06:03,795 it transforms the pattern as well... 130 131 00:06:04,038 --> 00:06:06,043 but you can say, actually I just want to transform... 131 132 00:06:06,068 --> 00:06:07,839 when I'm transforming, just the object. 132 133 00:06:10,249 --> 00:06:11,241 Now we scale it down. 133 134 00:06:11,266 --> 00:06:13,394 You can see, it just scales the object, not the pattern... 134 135 00:06:13,419 --> 00:06:14,874 so that might be useful for you. 135 136 00:06:14,975 --> 00:06:16,991 The only trouble with that is that it's on forever. 136 137 00:06:17,016 --> 00:06:18,795 So you've got to make sure to just turn it off. 137 138 00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:21,678 I go in and turn it off again because it causes-- 138 139 00:06:21,703 --> 00:06:24,006 later on you get a headache, and you're like, "What's going on?" 139 140 00:06:24,256 --> 00:06:25,284 So turn that back on. 140 141 00:06:25,309 --> 00:06:27,902 The other one is Transform Pattern Only. 141 142 00:06:27,927 --> 00:06:30,433 Say I want to resize the pattern, but not the box. 142 143 00:06:31,326 --> 00:06:32,933 This doesn't do what you expect. 143 144 00:06:33,209 --> 00:06:34,816 Does both again, and you're like, "Hmm." 144 145 00:06:35,496 --> 00:06:36,762 What that kind of means is that... 145 146 00:06:36,894 --> 00:06:40,425 you have to transform the pattern only, you have to use this box here. 146 147 00:06:40,645 --> 00:06:43,832 So the height and width here, let's say I want to divide it by 2. 147 148 00:06:44,395 --> 00:06:45,965 I'm going to click in this other box. 148 149 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:49,183 You can see, I've divided the height and width by 2. 149 150 00:06:49,454 --> 00:06:51,305 The object hasn't changed, it's just the pattern. 150 151 00:06:51,863 --> 00:06:53,899 Make sure as well when you're doing that, that it's linked. 151 152 00:06:53,924 --> 00:06:55,815 So does the height and width together. 152 153 00:06:55,971 --> 00:06:58,510 Same with the Rotation here, I might do 20. 153 154 00:06:58,612 --> 00:07:01,682 And because I've got that option clicked on just the Pattern... 154 155 00:07:01,783 --> 00:07:03,151 it's only applying to that. 155 156 00:07:03,533 --> 00:07:05,299 So I'm going to click it back to 'both'. 156 157 00:07:05,433 --> 00:07:06,986 Another thing you might do is... 157 158 00:07:07,011 --> 00:07:08,855 at the beginning, we didn't put the background color... 158 159 00:07:09,871 --> 00:07:11,807 can you see, the white of the page filled the gap. 159 160 00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:14,830 You can see here, there's now a space behind it. 160 161 00:07:14,855 --> 00:07:16,199 The gray's coming through. 161 162 00:07:16,299 --> 00:07:20,126 Now I find, instead of coloring it before you get into it, all you need to do is... 162 163 00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:24,774 grab this, and put a Fill color, let's say a pink... 163 164 00:07:25,088 --> 00:07:26,386 and put it behind it. 164 165 00:07:26,970 --> 00:07:28,861 Have that when you create your Tile. 165 166 00:07:29,838 --> 00:07:31,385 That will add a background color to it. 166 167 00:07:31,410 --> 00:07:33,918 I find it's easier probably, not probably-- 167 168 00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:36,496 I like to have a separate box... 168 169 00:07:37,309 --> 00:07:39,731 to kind of show the stock color, or the color behind it. 169 170 00:07:39,871 --> 00:07:41,668 Doesn't really matter, I guess. 170 171 00:07:44,121 --> 00:07:47,246 Another thing we want to do is, let's have a little look at... 171 172 00:07:47,271 --> 00:07:51,269 I'm going to go 'Shift O' to get my Artboard Tool. 172 173 00:07:51,612 --> 00:07:54,210 Hold down the 'Alt' key, drag out... 173 174 00:07:54,235 --> 00:07:56,090 or 'Option' key on a Mac, to get a new Artboard. 174 175 00:07:57,051 --> 00:07:58,184 The Artboard Tool's there. 175 176 00:07:58,209 --> 00:07:59,863 What I'd like to do now is... 176 177 00:07:59,888 --> 00:08:02,637 first of all I want to get rid of the pink background; goodbye. 177 178 00:08:03,548 --> 00:08:05,121 I want to kind of start distorting this panel. 178 179 00:08:05,154 --> 00:08:09,056 Let's say you are doing it for a mock up of your pattern on something... 179 180 00:08:09,081 --> 00:08:11,501 or say you are a designer, a Fashion Designer... 180 181 00:08:11,526 --> 00:08:15,119 and you want to move it around the shape of the model. 181 182 00:08:15,337 --> 00:08:18,666 So let's look at a couple of ways of doing that. 182 183 00:08:19,509 --> 00:08:21,189 One of the easy ways. 183 184 00:08:22,142 --> 00:08:27,282 Let's say you just want to distort it, let's go to 'Object'. 'Envelope Distort'. 184 185 00:08:27,307 --> 00:08:28,673 And we're going to-- 185 186 00:08:29,337 --> 00:08:30,986 One of the easy ones is Make with Warp. 186 187 00:08:31,181 --> 00:08:33,306 So if you've got kind of a very simple shape... 187 188 00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:35,759 it's going to stress your machine out a little bit. 188 189 00:08:35,784 --> 00:08:37,619 You can see, it's kind of warped it this way. 189 190 00:08:37,830 --> 00:08:39,752 If one of the shapes is going to work for you... 190 191 00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:44,115 flags, and waves, and things like that, then you can just use this option. 191 192 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,700 You can see, it's kind of destroying the-- 192 193 00:08:46,725 --> 00:08:49,646 not destroying, it's kind of changing your pattern. 193 194 00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:51,363 If that doesn't work for you. 194 195 00:08:51,388 --> 00:08:53,677 Let's say you want to really control what it does. 195 196 00:08:53,784 --> 00:08:56,597 Let's do two ways, I can use my Curvature Tool. 196 197 00:08:57,284 --> 00:08:59,589 So I'm going to create, say a pocket... 197 198 00:08:59,808 --> 00:09:01,464 and I'm going to draw a-- 198 199 00:09:02,769 --> 00:09:06,183 Make sure your Fill is not in our panel, else it's going to freak us out. 199 200 00:09:06,768 --> 00:09:09,534 So it doesn't really matter what color. Let's just double click for a corner... 200 201 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,855 click once for a curve, double click for a corner. 201 202 00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:15,969 What we'll do, bit of a curve here. 202 203 00:09:15,994 --> 00:09:18,735 Click once for a curve, double click for a corner. 203 204 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,348 Double click for a corner, double click. 204 205 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,344 Click once for a curve. 205 206 00:09:24,850 --> 00:09:25,795 Here you go, awesome. 206 207 00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:27,639 So we've got our ugly looking pocket. 207 208 00:09:29,764 --> 00:09:31,029 Okay, that's really bad. 208 209 00:09:31,054 --> 00:09:32,428 Anyway, you get the idea. 209 210 00:09:33,026 --> 00:09:34,928 You can do a couple of things. 210 211 00:09:34,953 --> 00:09:38,597 Let's have the two options, so 'Shift 0'... 211 212 00:09:39,175 --> 00:09:41,293 to get my Artboard Tool. Make another duplicate. 212 213 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:44,573 The first option is - you might get away with this. 213 214 00:09:44,598 --> 00:09:48,150 - it's selected the two objects, your pocket needs to be at the front. 214 215 00:09:48,393 --> 00:09:50,557 So select both of them, go to 'Object'... 215 216 00:09:50,752 --> 00:09:54,471 go to 'Envelope Distort', and there's an option that says 'Make with Top Object'. 216 217 00:09:54,496 --> 00:09:56,572 Just kind of tries to jam it in there. 217 218 00:09:58,220 --> 00:09:59,377 Again a bit stressful. 218 219 00:10:00,408 --> 00:10:01,884 That might be enough for you. 219 220 00:10:02,058 --> 00:10:05,277 You just let the Shape do the work, that could be quite cool. 220 221 00:10:05,683 --> 00:10:07,534 Say you want a bit more control. 221 222 00:10:07,567 --> 00:10:09,987 What you might do is select on this Background Shape... 222 223 00:10:10,198 --> 00:10:12,047 and we're going to go to... 223 224 00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:16,386 'Object', 'Object Envelope Distort'... 224 225 00:10:16,411 --> 00:10:18,331 and there's one that says 'Make with Mesh'. 225 226 00:10:18,356 --> 00:10:20,010 This is like full custom. 226 227 00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:21,953 3x3. 227 228 00:10:22,278 --> 00:10:25,487 The more mesh you have, the more detailed you can control... 228 229 00:10:25,512 --> 00:10:26,738 but it's a little fiddlier. 229 230 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:29,480 So, like a Gradient Mesh. Looks exactly the same. 230 231 00:10:30,019 --> 00:10:31,839 So I'm going to apply it first. 231 232 00:10:32,495 --> 00:10:34,948 Again, quite a hard core pattern. 232 233 00:10:35,605 --> 00:10:37,951 If yours is even more hard core, and your machine is old... 233 234 00:10:37,976 --> 00:10:38,955 it's going to take a while. 234 235 00:10:38,980 --> 00:10:40,820 Next thing I want to do is I want to bring-- 235 236 00:10:40,845 --> 00:10:42,466 weirdly I can send him to the back... 236 237 00:10:43,191 --> 00:10:44,159 and that's really fast. 237 238 00:10:44,184 --> 00:10:47,089 If I try and bring the pattern to the front, I'll spend ages doing it. 238 239 00:10:47,644 --> 00:10:50,558 What I want to do is actually just lower the opacity of this. 239 240 00:10:50,590 --> 00:10:53,120 Don't lower the opacity of the pattern... 240 241 00:10:53,145 --> 00:10:55,292 before you make it a Mesh. 241 242 00:10:56,644 --> 00:10:59,792 It's really hard to turn the opacity back up, it's easy this way. 242 243 00:11:00,308 --> 00:11:03,081 I just wanted to turn it down for a little bit while I play around with it. 243 244 00:11:03,106 --> 00:11:05,691 I'll use the White Arrow tool when I'm working with a Mesh. 244 245 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:08,906 What I might do to get started is I'm going to select these three points. 245 246 00:11:09,218 --> 00:11:11,253 It's really hard, because I picked the blue. 246 247 00:11:11,417 --> 00:11:15,010 I've got a blue kind of pocket, and I've got a blue Text Style. 247 248 00:11:16,257 --> 00:11:19,089 There's also blue on this layer, so it's a little bit hard. 248 249 00:11:19,114 --> 00:11:20,620 You'll have to work it out. 249 250 00:11:20,808 --> 00:11:22,730 So I selected just these three guys. 250 251 00:11:24,586 --> 00:11:26,128 And I drag it in a little bit. 251 252 00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:28,846 Give it a second. 252 253 00:11:31,495 --> 00:11:33,870 You can see, it's kind of getting scrunched a bit at the side there. 253 254 00:11:33,895 --> 00:11:35,277 I'll do the same for this side. 254 255 00:11:35,302 --> 00:11:37,558 So this is just giving you the kind of customized shape. 255 256 00:11:37,583 --> 00:11:39,956 You can kind of see what's happening, I can drag it out here. 256 257 00:11:40,097 --> 00:11:41,137 So I'm going to drag it in here... 257 258 00:11:41,162 --> 00:11:43,808 and there's just a little fiddling around now to kind of push it... 258 259 00:11:44,027 --> 00:11:46,394 the way you want the fabric to fold. 259 260 00:11:47,698 --> 00:11:49,542 It's going to be a lot of messing about. 260 261 00:11:49,753 --> 00:11:52,378 So, say I grab just this one point here, and drag it in... 261 262 00:11:52,769 --> 00:11:54,043 watch what affects here. 262 263 00:11:57,503 --> 00:11:59,042 I'm going to zoom in, so you can see it. 263 264 00:11:59,067 --> 00:12:01,145 You got these handles that control it as well. 264 265 00:12:03,215 --> 00:12:04,330 A little fiddly. 265 266 00:12:04,355 --> 00:12:07,183 I'm going to drag him around, there's this guy. 266 267 00:12:07,995 --> 00:12:10,042 It's taking a little bit of time now. 267 268 00:12:11,805 --> 00:12:14,438 My machine's pretty hard core, and it's still taking a lot of time. 268 269 00:12:14,751 --> 00:12:19,266 So we're kind of doing two things that are really kind of extreme. 269 270 00:12:19,476 --> 00:12:25,328 One is the Pattern, and the other is using an Envelope Mesh. 270 271 00:12:26,813 --> 00:12:28,173 I'm not going to spend too much more time... 271 272 00:12:28,198 --> 00:12:30,680 but there's a lot of-- just grab these Anchor Points. 272 273 00:12:30,853 --> 00:12:33,455 It might be that the Mesh is too complex, I brought 3x3. 273 274 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,174 Maybe if you're doing this now, try just 2x2. 274 275 00:12:38,110 --> 00:12:41,079 It might give you just enough control to be able to-- 275 276 00:12:41,104 --> 00:12:42,838 watch this, I'm going to really distort it. 276 277 00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:45,071 Breaking it, but... 277 278 00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:48,110 say if you want a bit of a pinched fabric, or you're matching-- 278 279 00:12:48,135 --> 00:12:50,563 you've got kind of, like stock images... 279 280 00:12:50,588 --> 00:12:53,095 and you want to match the roll and folds of the fabric... 280 281 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,455 you can start pushing this around. 281 282 00:12:54,696 --> 00:12:58,008 When you're done, grab it with the 'Black Arrow', have it selected... 282 283 00:12:58,251 --> 00:13:00,649 go up to 'Opacity', and crank it back up. 283 284 00:13:01,024 --> 00:13:04,024 The last thing we're going to do is 'Send to Back'. 284 285 00:13:06,728 --> 00:13:09,251 Again, I should have brought the shape to the front, some reason-- 285 286 00:13:09,798 --> 00:13:11,345 I'm going to make sure he gets cropped in. 286 287 00:13:11,692 --> 00:13:13,634 So now with them both selected we're going to hit... 287 288 00:13:13,666 --> 00:13:16,954 'Command 7' on a Mac, or 'Control 7' on a PC. 288 289 00:13:17,892 --> 00:13:20,821 That just kind of sticks it in the Shape, and that's my Fabric thing. 289 290 00:13:21,384 --> 00:13:23,040 One last thing you might do is... 290 291 00:13:23,065 --> 00:13:24,715 let's say that you're actually a designer... 291 292 00:13:24,740 --> 00:13:26,830 and you want to change the colors that are used in here. 292 293 00:13:27,070 --> 00:13:30,478 A nice way to do it, 'Black Arrow', I've got it selected, go up to 'Edit'. 293 294 00:13:30,688 --> 00:13:32,014 Go down to 'Edit Colors'. 294 295 00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:34,094 We did this properly in an earlier tutorial... 295 296 00:13:34,119 --> 00:13:36,095 we're doing the short version here. 296 297 00:13:36,351 --> 00:13:40,493 So, 'Recolor Artwork', and jump to 'Edit'... 297 298 00:13:41,142 --> 00:13:44,688 Link all the colors, then you can kind of drag this around... 298 299 00:13:44,713 --> 00:13:48,384 move it in and out, kind of expands them richer and cooler. 299 300 00:13:48,969 --> 00:13:51,083 And you can see, down the back, in the background there... 300 301 00:13:51,108 --> 00:13:52,899 I'm changing the colors, make them look terrible. 301 302 00:13:53,329 --> 00:13:54,353 Good work, Dan. 302 303 00:13:54,728 --> 00:13:57,313 You might have some color options once you got it in here. 303 304 00:13:57,338 --> 00:13:59,969 Maybe just some few changes, or you get the fabric, and you're like... 304 305 00:13:59,994 --> 00:14:04,024 "Man, it's not quite reflected well in my design, I might have to adjust it." 305 306 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:07,289 If you want to go into more recoloring art work... 306 307 00:14:07,314 --> 00:14:09,657 I got that in a full earlier tutorial. 307 308 00:14:10,017 --> 00:14:12,173 All right, that is Patterns. 308 309 00:14:12,438 --> 00:14:14,039 Hope you learned something new. 309 310 00:14:14,922 --> 00:14:16,617 Let's get on to the next video.
