0
1
00:00:01,664 --> 00:00:04,820
Hey there, we're going to make
multiple lines from one line.
1

2
00:00:04,845 --> 00:00:06,141
It's called Offsetting Path.
2

3
00:00:06,166 --> 00:00:08,867
We're going to start with this kind of
first guy, where we expand him out...
3

4
00:00:08,892 --> 00:00:10,939
and do some cool race track looking stuff.
4

5
00:00:11,195 --> 00:00:15,273
We code in, then we do a little bit more
elaborate when we both do the outside...
5

6
00:00:15,483 --> 00:00:17,718
like this kind of
Drop Shadow effect here...
6

7
00:00:17,743 --> 00:00:19,766
plus an inner line here...
7

8
00:00:19,791 --> 00:00:22,352
so we can slice out,
and lots of strippy lines.
8

9
00:00:22,625 --> 00:00:25,766
All right, let's go learn how to
do that now in Adobe Illustrator.
9

10
00:00:26,055 --> 00:00:28,336
Let's start with a really simple thing.
10

11
00:00:28,369 --> 00:00:32,094
Let's draw anything you like.
I'm using the Curvature Tool.
11

12
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:34,336
I'm trying to convey you across.
12

13
00:00:34,538 --> 00:00:39,092
So double click for corners,
I'll even hold 'Shift'.
13

14
00:00:40,609 --> 00:00:42,086
Click once for a curve.
14

15
00:00:43,289 --> 00:00:44,469
Double click for a corner.
15

16
00:00:45,266 --> 00:00:46,320
What am I drawing?
16

17
00:00:46,492 --> 00:00:49,547
I don't know, I just kind of made
this up before I made this tutorial.
17

18
00:00:49,572 --> 00:00:50,938
Seems kind of a cool shape.
18

19
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:55,304
So double click in, and I'm going to
go back this way a little bit.
19

20
00:00:55,797 --> 00:00:58,008
Double click for a corner,
double click for a corner.
20

21
00:00:59,497 --> 00:01:01,125
Mine's kind of weird
because it's got a Fill.
21

22
00:01:01,453 --> 00:01:04,750
So I'm going to get rid of that Fill,
goodbye Fill, and add a Stroke.
22

23
00:01:05,102 --> 00:01:07,008
I'm using that kind of lemony green color.
23

24
00:01:07,594 --> 00:01:08,938
Awesome! So I've got this.
24

25
00:01:08,963 --> 00:01:11,718
Now I want to go and create
those extra lines.
25

26
00:01:11,743 --> 00:01:13,742
It's very simple, with my 'Black Arrow'...
26

27
00:01:13,898 --> 00:01:18,852
I'm going to go to 'Object', 'Path',
there's one here that says 'Offset Path'.
27

28
00:01:20,946 --> 00:01:24,040
I'm going to turn Preview on,
to see how far apart it's going to be.
28

29
00:01:24,235 --> 00:01:28,070
Depending on your measurements,
yours might be set to points or inches.
29

30
00:01:28,274 --> 00:01:29,430
I can adjust this.
30

31
00:01:30,087 --> 00:01:32,790
One of the things you might do
is the joints here.
31

32
00:01:33,118 --> 00:01:37,016
Basically what you're looking for is
the ends, and where these corners change.
32

33
00:01:37,041 --> 00:01:38,883
So Miter does a Square Corner.
33

34
00:01:39,024 --> 00:01:41,969
Round, obviously it's rounded ends,
might be cool...
34

35
00:01:41,994 --> 00:01:44,415
or Bevel, kind of chops them off
at the sides.
35

36
00:01:44,837 --> 00:01:46,079
You can decide what you want to do.
36

37
00:01:46,656 --> 00:01:49,024
So it's created this kind of
extra separate line.
37

38
00:01:49,501 --> 00:01:51,399
With that selected,
you can just keep going.
38

39
00:01:51,424 --> 00:01:52,595
I'm going to make another one.
39

40
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:55,008
I'm going to go to 'Path',
and go to 'Offset Path'.
40

41
00:01:55,204 --> 00:01:57,195
I'll leave it at the same dimensions,
click 'OK'.
41

42
00:01:57,665 --> 00:01:59,657
Now I've got a few of them, cool.
42

43
00:02:00,329 --> 00:02:01,938
My drawing wasn't the best...
43

44
00:02:01,963 --> 00:02:05,352
even though I'm trying to show you
how great the tool is.
44

45
00:02:05,548 --> 00:02:07,793
I'll get rid of the Curvature Tools,
doesn't matter.
45

46
00:02:07,818 --> 00:02:09,977
I should have spent a bit
more time at the beginning.
46

47
00:02:10,173 --> 00:02:13,641
What I'm going to do now though
is just extend this off for no reason.
47

48
00:02:14,032 --> 00:02:15,696
That's why it looks kind of cool.
48

49
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,954
Let's say you want to fill these lines,
let's select them all.
49

50
00:02:18,979 --> 00:02:20,758
Use our Shape Builder Tool...
50

51
00:02:22,157 --> 00:02:23,178
which is that guy there.
51

52
00:02:24,563 --> 00:02:27,336
I'm going to pick some Fill colors,
and stuff, and get in.
52

53
00:02:29,297 --> 00:02:30,899
The outside's going to be that.
53

54
00:02:30,924 --> 00:02:33,290
You're going to be that.
54

55
00:02:33,594 --> 00:02:36,610
And maybe, that is going to be that one.
55

56
00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:43,867
Maybe I'll get rid of this Stroke,
goodbye Stroke.
56

57
00:02:44,876 --> 00:02:47,423
So that is phase 1 of Offset Stroke.
57

58
00:02:47,455 --> 00:02:50,157
Let's look at doing that slightly
more advanced one...
58

59
00:02:50,182 --> 00:02:51,970
we saw at the beginning, with the text.
59

60
00:02:52,438 --> 00:02:54,923
So I've just made a new Artboard
on the side here.
60

61
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:56,837
I'm going to pick a Font.
61

62
00:02:59,063 --> 00:03:01,610
I've picked Abril, Abril Fatface.
62

63
00:03:01,635 --> 00:03:03,298
It is another one from Typekit.
63

64
00:03:03,915 --> 00:03:04,983
You can download them for free...
64

65
00:03:05,008 --> 00:03:07,056
if you've got
a Creative Cloud subscription.
65

66
00:03:07,469 --> 00:03:09,743
Type a word, I'll type my name.
66

67
00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:11,914
I'm going to give it a Fill of white.
67

68
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:14,124
And for this to work
it needs to be outlined.
68

69
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:17,787
So I'm going to make a duplicate over here
just in case I forget what the font is.
69

70
00:03:18,241 --> 00:03:23,413
To outline, it is 'Type',
and it is down here, 'Create Outlines'.
70

71
00:03:24,538 --> 00:03:28,046
For this to work,
if I leave it with a Fill...
71

72
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:32,475
and no Stroke, it doesn't quite work,
so we're going to flip those over.
72

73
00:03:32,508 --> 00:03:35,420
Super shortcut time, it is 'Shift X'.
73

74
00:03:35,445 --> 00:03:37,904
Will toggle whatever you've got
in the Fill with the Stroke...
74

75
00:03:38,147 --> 00:03:39,694
or just change them manually.
75

76
00:03:40,577 --> 00:03:42,991
So I've a got a Stroke around the outside,
no Fill.
76

77
00:03:43,016 --> 00:03:45,569
Now I go up to 'Object',
I can go to 'Path'.
77

78
00:03:45,796 --> 00:03:47,624
And I can go to 'Offset Path'.
78

79
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,764
 Exactly like what we did earlier.
79

80
00:03:51,014 --> 00:03:52,803
Make sure Preview is on, and...
80

81
00:03:54,897 --> 00:03:56,876
if it is in Offset, you can
just click in here ...
81

82
00:03:56,901 --> 00:03:59,212
and use your up arrow and down arrow...
82

83
00:03:59,237 --> 00:04:01,281
just to kind of find where you
want this thing to be.
83

84
00:04:01,988 --> 00:04:03,473
How far out you want it to be?
84

85
00:04:03,498 --> 00:04:07,051
This is the outside bit, but we kind of
lob off the sides to make it look like a...
85

86
00:04:07,528 --> 00:04:09,231
Drop Shadowy line thing.
86

87
00:04:09,543 --> 00:04:11,801
So that works for me.
87

88
00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:15,590
I'm going to click 'OK'.
88

89
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,215
Let's do the internal one as well,
so I'm going to click back on this--
89

90
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,571
like this thing is all grouped now...
90

91
00:04:20,596 --> 00:04:22,466
so I'm going to right click it,
and say 'Ungroup'.
91

92
00:04:22,746 --> 00:04:25,270
I just want the center of these Ds.
92

93
00:04:26,596 --> 00:04:27,697
And As, and Ns.
93

94
00:04:28,353 --> 00:04:29,658
Same thing, 'Edit'...
94

95
00:04:30,275 --> 00:04:33,494
same thing, 'Object', 'Path',
'Offset Path'.
95

96
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:34,437
I'm going to do negatives.
96

97
00:04:34,462 --> 00:04:37,002
So I'm just going to do the exact same,
but with that negative at the front.
97

98
00:04:37,205 --> 00:04:38,259
Turn Preview 'on'.
98

99
00:04:38,808 --> 00:04:40,228
There's always going to be
some weird bits...
99

100
00:04:40,253 --> 00:04:42,807
you might have to tidy up
with the Anchor Points.
100

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,268
Like that N in there, everything else
looks okay, click 'OK'.
101

102
00:04:47,268 --> 00:04:50,861
Those are the inside parts
and the outside parts.
102

103
00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:54,369
Let's slice the holes out of the middle,
then do the Drop Shadow.
103

104
00:04:55,057 --> 00:04:58,970
It's a little bit messy,
I'm going to grab these outside ones.
104

105
00:04:59,782 --> 00:05:02,517
I'm just going to turn the Stroke 'off'.
105

106
00:05:02,542 --> 00:05:04,619
So it makes it easy for you to see
what I'm doing.
106

107
00:05:04,916 --> 00:05:06,025
Clean this up a bit later.
107

108
00:05:06,291 --> 00:05:10,447
So what I want to do is I'd love
to fill the outside shapes.
108

109
00:05:11,096 --> 00:05:15,635
Remember our shortcut, 'Shift X',
switches the Fill and the Stroke around.
109

110
00:05:17,196 --> 00:05:19,689
I've still got these internal ones.
110

111
00:05:20,033 --> 00:05:22,244
So this is where we're going to
slice them out.
111

112
00:05:22,361 --> 00:05:24,596
I'm going to hold 'Shift', and--
112

113
00:05:24,744 --> 00:05:27,385
 Actually it's going to be a little hard
with these outside lines.
113

114
00:05:27,410 --> 00:05:31,314
What I might do is just grab them,
give them a Fill again, or a Stroke again.
114

115
00:05:31,658 --> 00:05:32,557
Just move them off.
115

116
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:34,885
I'll be able to line them up again
perfectly later on.
116

117
00:05:36,533 --> 00:05:37,830
So I've got these lines.
117

118
00:05:37,855 --> 00:05:41,096
I've got a Fill and there is
this Stroke around the inside.
118

119
00:05:41,221 --> 00:05:42,790
So I'm going to use my Shape Builder Tool.
119

120
00:05:42,815 --> 00:05:45,831
It's 'Shift M' for grabbing
the Shape Builder Tool.
120

121
00:05:46,072 --> 00:05:51,001
And just hold down the 'Alt' key on a PC,
or 'Option' key on a Mac.
121

122
00:05:51,244 --> 00:05:53,119
Just click them, and that kind of
slices the holes.
122

123
00:05:53,338 --> 00:05:55,721
What we might have to do
before we do this one here--
123

124
00:05:55,746 --> 00:05:57,135
I'm going to go to 'Outline Mode'...
124

125
00:05:57,275 --> 00:06:00,197
which is 'Command Y' on a Mac,
'Control Y' on a PC.
125

126
00:06:00,557 --> 00:06:02,681
And then it's just these bits
that need to be tidied up.
126

127
00:06:03,634 --> 00:06:07,016
 Actually I'll grab my Pen Tool,
just get rid of these points.
127

128
00:06:07,806 --> 00:06:10,134
Go back to my Anchor Point Tool,
just tidy these up.
128

129
00:06:12,047 --> 00:06:14,735
Your name might not be Dan,
so you might not have these dramas.
129

130
00:06:18,899 --> 00:06:21,680
It's really good extending itself,
Smart Guides are really good.
130

131
00:06:22,178 --> 00:06:24,118
I love them. Cool.
131

132
00:06:24,178 --> 00:06:26,670
So, out of Outline mode again.
132

133
00:06:28,201 --> 00:06:31,084
And I'm going to select this guy, 
'Shift M'.
133

134
00:06:32,974 --> 00:06:36,761
So these are my insides, now what
we're going to do is the outsides.
134

135
00:06:36,786 --> 00:06:38,613
So really kind of slice parts of it off...
135

136
00:06:38,638 --> 00:06:41,683
 because we just want it kind of
like dropped off to the right.
136

137
00:06:41,926 --> 00:06:44,723
And what I'm going to do is...
137

138
00:06:45,027 --> 00:06:47,308
I'll show you a couple of tricks.
One is, first of all...
138

139
00:06:47,644 --> 00:06:49,242
it's painful when that one's joining...
139

140
00:06:49,267 --> 00:06:51,192
so I'm just going to
kind of move him across.
140

141
00:06:51,449 --> 00:06:53,831
You might want to track it out
before you get started.
141

142
00:06:54,066 --> 00:06:56,480
There's two ways, 
let's look at these two ways.
142

143
00:06:57,027 --> 00:06:58,340
I'm going to make two copies.
143

144
00:06:58,957 --> 00:07:00,176
One way is the Scissors Tool.
144

145
00:07:00,386 --> 00:07:03,168
The Scissors Tool is one of 
those weird ones-- I never use it...
145

146
00:07:03,231 --> 00:07:05,597
then I sometimes grab it.
146

147
00:07:06,837 --> 00:07:09,120
I know it is the C Tool, 
there it is there.
147

148
00:07:09,145 --> 00:07:11,230
It's underneath your Eraser Tool,
Scissors Tool.
148

149
00:07:11,363 --> 00:07:13,543
His job is to go, snip...
149

150
00:07:14,371 --> 00:07:15,597
and snip.
150

151
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,355
Then grab your Direct Selection Tool,
click off...
151

152
00:07:19,043 --> 00:07:22,055
click back on, and delete twice.
152

153
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,856
Kind of gets rid of the junk 
you don't need.
153

154
00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:25,354
You could keep doing that, right?
154

155
00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:29,019
Just kind of guess where 
the Drop Shadow would fall.
155

156
00:07:29,402 --> 00:07:31,488
Now what I like to do--
I'll leave that one there.
156

157
00:07:33,207 --> 00:07:36,027
What I like to do is,
let's say we'll do the D first.
157

158
00:07:36,521 --> 00:07:39,693
I'd like to grab it, 
make a duplicate by dragging.
158

159
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,322
So while I'm dragging, I'm holding down...
159

160
00:07:41,347 --> 00:07:43,554
the 'Option' key on a Mac, 
'Alt' key on a PC
160

161
00:07:44,221 --> 00:07:47,287
I'm holding 'Shift' as well, because it
goes down at a 45° angle.
161

162
00:07:47,312 --> 00:07:49,116
It's going to kind of work for me.
162

163
00:07:49,304 --> 00:07:52,491
So we use one as like the slicer,
and one as the result.
163

164
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:56,873
To make it easy for you to see
I'm going to make the Slicer green.
164

165
00:07:57,921 --> 00:07:59,636
So we're going to delete
all of the green stuff.
165

166
00:07:59,661 --> 00:08:00,640
We're just going to use it.
166

167
00:08:00,999 --> 00:08:03,275
And we're going to go back to 
my favorite tool in the world...
167

168
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:04,729
the Shape Builder Tool.
168

169
00:08:05,678 --> 00:08:08,522
And now what we're going to do 
is we're going to say we don't need...
169

170
00:08:09,128 --> 00:08:10,003
that line.
170

171
00:08:10,612 --> 00:08:11,800
I don't want...
171

172
00:08:14,339 --> 00:08:15,268
that line.
172

173
00:08:16,322 --> 00:08:19,119
I do want that line down the bottom here.
Great, Dan.
173

174
00:08:19,962 --> 00:08:23,408
So I want him, I want him.
174

175
00:08:23,433 --> 00:08:26,541
It's really for you to decide
where the Drop Shadow goes.
175

176
00:08:26,566 --> 00:08:28,080
It can be tough.
176

177
00:08:29,095 --> 00:08:31,072
Don't want this green thing, go away,
don't want that bit.
177

178
00:08:31,455 --> 00:08:32,541
I don't want you now.
178

179
00:08:33,174 --> 00:08:35,455
I'm going to click off now.
I think there's some bits that I want left.
179

180
00:08:36,127 --> 00:08:38,666
I'll just use my Black Arrow 
to select those.
180

181
00:08:39,135 --> 00:08:41,572
So now I'm going to grab him,
and that bit's done.
181

182
00:08:42,283 --> 00:08:45,666
It can be easy to line back up,
Smart Guides to center.
182

183
00:08:45,939 --> 00:08:47,213
I wanted to be super smart.
183

184
00:08:47,564 --> 00:08:49,689
You get to do the same for this one.
184

185
00:08:50,924 --> 00:08:53,830
I'm not going to do 
the rest of it with you.
185

186
00:08:53,855 --> 00:08:56,572
I'm going to go do it when
this video is over.
186

187
00:08:57,643 --> 00:09:00,361
It's Class Project time, 
I would love to see what you've done.
187

188
00:09:01,556 --> 00:09:03,931
You don't have to use the word Dan,
unless your name is Dan.
188

189
00:09:04,744 --> 00:09:06,580
I'd like to see what font you use.
189

190
00:09:06,807 --> 00:09:10,134
If I was going to do it again now
I'd probably make this inner part bigger.
190

191
00:09:10,252 --> 00:09:12,627
 because I feel it's not doing what I want.
191

192
00:09:12,705 --> 00:09:15,338
You can put like stripes inside of these.
192

193
00:09:15,939 --> 00:09:17,994
Any which way you want,
pick your font, pick your colors.
193

194
00:09:18,019 --> 00:09:19,550
I'd love to see what you've done.
194

195
00:09:19,575 --> 00:09:21,611
Post your projects here on this website.
195

196
00:09:21,636 --> 00:09:24,767
Also send me a-- tag me in.
196

197
00:09:24,861 --> 00:09:27,619

Or on Twitter, I'm @danlovesadobe.
198

199
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:32,461
Love to see what you've done.
199

200
00:09:32,486 --> 00:09:33,649
All right, on to the next video.
