00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:07,790
Hi there and welcome to Layer's in Adobe Illustrator.

2
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:16,840
We are going to go from a one layer file or project to several layers and we are going to group them

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,580
according to layers and organize our works and see why layers are useful.

4
00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:27,820
By the way, guys, everything we do about players and groups is about organizing your work.

5
00:00:28,090 --> 00:00:29,120
It's not mandatory.

6
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:34,300
It can be as much as you want as long as the project or the file of outlook is for you.

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,450
But when you start wanting to amend it after some time, you really don't want to come to one single

8
00:00:40,450 --> 00:00:43,480
player that has a million object inside it.

9
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:44,770
And you don't know what's happening.

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,060
You want to be organized and it's really very important.

11
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:56,020
What are layers, layers are everything, any object, a group of objects has to be in a layer.

12
00:00:56,390 --> 00:01:01,700
You can't have anything outside the layer when you create a new document if you take five.

13
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:04,830
A new movie, take anything, it doesn't matter.

14
00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:10,730
If you create and you come to layer's, there is always layer one in this case is empty.

15
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:12,790
And of course it is unlocked.

16
00:01:12,790 --> 00:01:14,560
You can lock it, you can unlock it.

17
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:16,480
If you like it, you can draw in it.

18
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:17,680
You need another layer.

19
00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:20,570
If you unlock it, you can do something inside.

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,920
So now we have an object inside the layer.

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,580
You cannot have anything outside a layer.

22
00:01:27,250 --> 00:01:28,210
Let's get rid of this.

23
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:36,940
In the previous tutorial we have seen about the groups, we grouped our work, let's see a bit about

24
00:01:36,940 --> 00:01:37,440
layers.

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,390
First of all, you can double click on the layer icon, OK, to represent the artwork.

26
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:45,210
And you have layer options here.

27
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,240
And we know that you can change the color to whatever you like.

28
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:53,160
That's the gold, you can make it as a template.

29
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,310
We have seen this some times, but for now we are Lockette.

30
00:01:57,860 --> 00:02:00,470
We can lock it so we don't touch it.

31
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:04,320
You can also design this is for free and this is for sure.

32
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:06,500
Stories like this and condemned the image.

33
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,540
Simple tricks.

34
00:02:08,570 --> 00:02:14,660
Not much, but also, most importantly, you can give it the name, say my what as simple as this.

35
00:02:14,970 --> 00:02:16,350
And that is pretty important.

36
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:20,720
You can also come over here and double click on the words and change the name.

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,520
You just write something else.

38
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:30,700
And just press enter and you have changed me now on the bottom here, you can see you can create a new

39
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,160
layer, you can create a sub layer.

40
00:02:33,490 --> 00:02:37,700
So it depends on the level of organization that you want to do for our work.

41
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:38,940
You don't want to create a new layer.

42
00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:40,840
So I created a layer two.

43
00:02:40,990 --> 00:02:41,790
That's very fun.

44
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:47,710
I'm going to select the butterfly and notice how there is a small square here in the color of the layer,

45
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:52,240
and that means you selected something inside this layer down.

46
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:55,360
And it says you selected the butterfly.

47
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,790
I would like the flight to be on the top player here.

48
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:02,390
I was selected, not this this is the selection.

49
00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:04,780
I can click and drag and drop it there.

50
00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:06,190
That's one way to do it.

51
00:03:06,380 --> 00:03:09,730
I'm going to do what I like most is to come over here.

52
00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:11,900
Let's say this there is close.

53
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:13,610
You selected the butterfly.

54
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:15,050
You know, that's your selection.

55
00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:20,020
Then you come over and click on the small square here and take it to the other layer.

56
00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:23,320
No matter what's happened, it has moved everything to another level.

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,940
This is more trick I love, but nevertheless, you could have selected the group from here and click

58
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:32,390
and drag and just drop it in the layer, not drop it inside this group.

59
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:33,230
Drop it on the left.

60
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:41,630
I have two groups inside layer two, and there two is on top of this layer, my work, something I'm

61
00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:45,080
going to rename the layer a click on it and say butterflies.

62
00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:47,300
Collaborator.

63
00:03:47,510 --> 00:03:53,750
So now I have butterflies and inside, that is the first group, as you can see, and the second group.

64
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,920
If I decide that I want every butterfly in L.A., I could do that, OK?

65
00:03:59,980 --> 00:04:01,050
It's not necessary here.

66
00:04:01,050 --> 00:04:01,770
Just show you.

67
00:04:02,250 --> 00:04:03,730
You can create another layer.

68
00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:10,220
I'm going to create another layer by layer three, declare free and drop it in the layer butterflies.

69
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:15,230
So you're not just now layer three, which is empty, is inside the layer butterflies.

70
00:04:15,690 --> 00:04:20,760
I can take the group here, select the group here and just click on it and drag it and put it in layer

71
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,090
three.

72
00:04:21,510 --> 00:04:22,030
Of course.

73
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:26,340
Now I have a layer and inside it there is a group, very good organization.

74
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:30,510
Actually, I recommend that you do that, but most of the time we skip that.

75
00:04:31,790 --> 00:04:34,400
I don't want any more butterfly one inside the lair.

76
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,790
I just wanted as a group, I'm going to click and drag and drop it in the main layer, come over, select

77
00:04:39,810 --> 00:04:40,490
there are three.

78
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:45,350
So this is selecting layer three and I want to delete his gun.

79
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,870
Not worse is come to my work something layer and create a sub layer.

80
00:04:51,620 --> 00:04:52,940
But others have made the mistake.

81
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:55,910
I did not really select this layer.

82
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,620
My work something I selected the top layer I'm going to do and this is selection.

83
00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:01,460
OK guys.

84
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:03,380
And then create a supplier.

85
00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:09,930
Going to take Munster and put it in the sublevel, so now I have a ladder, I have another supplier

86
00:05:09,930 --> 00:05:12,900
here and I'm going to call this their monster.

87
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:17,210
Now, I changed my mind.

88
00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:22,640
I don't want Monster to be inside my work, something I can click on it and I can put it on top.

89
00:05:22,860 --> 00:05:26,800
Now, if you put it here, it will be inside this layer here, inside this group.

90
00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:28,240
It doesn't go inside the group.

91
00:05:28,250 --> 00:05:29,360
It's going to become a subletter.

92
00:05:29,690 --> 00:05:31,210
One way to do it is to go up, up.

93
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:33,650
Notice how it has appeared.

94
00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:39,480
There is a thicker line here and now we have a layer called monster.

95
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:46,480
Of course, I can reorder them the way I would like put Monster on the butterfly or something like this.

96
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,920
Now, waves and clouds, that's not bad.

97
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,780
Backgrounds, backgrounds.

98
00:05:50,780 --> 00:05:55,090
Most of the time we want to put them in a different layer and lock it.

99
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:56,330
So that's what I'm going to do.

100
00:05:56,330 --> 00:06:02,450
I'm going to create a new layer, select the background from here and drop it into layer four.

101
00:06:02,450 --> 00:06:06,190
That's a new layer declared for drop it at the bottom.

102
00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:09,830
It's very easy, Double-Click here and see background.

103
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:17,570
Now, if you have a air that has several objects, in our case, this layer has to two butterfly groups.

104
00:06:17,650 --> 00:06:20,600
If I click on the butterfly, I will not select the whole layer.

105
00:06:20,830 --> 00:06:22,240
I will select the group.

106
00:06:22,990 --> 00:06:26,590
That's the way it works, so if you have groups, it will select the groups.

107
00:06:27,130 --> 00:06:31,570
If I select the monster, which is in a layer on its own.

108
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,360
Now, this is selective.

109
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:40,470
This is not selected zigi guys, this will be selected double circle.

110
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:44,210
This is selected as simple as this just for your attention.

111
00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:47,080
It might seem complicated, but actually it's very easy.

112
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:51,380
Now, of course, if you want to edit the eyes, you double click, you double click again.

113
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:54,200
You are in isolation mode for the group.

114
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,730
So actually, these are our players, and I really love it if you organize your work from time to time

115
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:05,080
or don't wait until the end, things might get very complicated.

116
00:07:05,470 --> 00:07:07,620
It's better that you organize as you go.

117
00:07:08,050 --> 00:07:11,950
Now, since we are going to work with players and groups and, you know, groups, certain things create

118
00:07:11,950 --> 00:07:12,500
new layers.

119
00:07:12,670 --> 00:07:15,400
I wanted to show you how to work with groups and leaders.

120
00:07:16,210 --> 00:07:17,860
Next up, your assignment.
