00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,590
Hi there, in this video we're going to look at creating

2
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:14,150
dotted lines and dashed lines, perforation lines.

3
00:00:14,145 --> 00:00:16,805
We're going to do wavy lines and strappy lines and all lines,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,120
Let's go and do that now.

5
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:21,900
To put the border around the outside,

6
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:23,520
we're going to start with a rectangle.

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,880
The rectangle tool, not the rectangle frame tool,

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,480
and what I'd like to do is you saw

9
00:00:29,475 --> 00:00:32,655
earlier that I had to perfectly away from the edge now.

10
00:00:32,655 --> 00:00:36,545
What I can do is I can draw it exactly the right size,

11
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:39,660
remember, that is actually the edge of the page.

12
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:42,590
This bit on the outside here is the bleed, remember.

13
00:00:42,585 --> 00:00:45,975
I'm going to draw the actual size, my half letter.

14
00:00:45,975 --> 00:00:48,015
It's a nice big rectangle,

15
00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:51,355
now we've got a fill of green and a stroke of nothing.

16
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:55,400
I'll leave it there for the moment just while we're practicing this because if

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,780
I grab my selection tool and I try and scale it down proportionately,

18
00:00:58,775 --> 00:01:00,675
one of the keys, that's,

19
00:01:00,675 --> 00:01:03,275
Command and Shift on the Mac,

20
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:05,280
and Control and Shift on a PC.

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,260
If I hold them down and I make them proportionately smaller.

22
00:01:08,255 --> 00:01:10,765
You'll notice that if I put it here in the middle is

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,780
actually doesn't scale the way we want.

24
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:16,490
We want equal distances around the outside.

25
00:01:16,490 --> 00:01:18,730
I first scale it down even more.

26
00:01:18,730 --> 00:01:21,740
You can see it's a lot bigger in the sides than it

27
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:24,230
is in the top and the bottom just because it's scaling that way.

28
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:26,510
What I'd like to do is I'm going to undo,

29
00:01:26,510 --> 00:01:28,760
it actually fills the outside.

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,460
What we can do, you can see at the top here it's got a width and height,

31
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:33,280
it's perfect, it matches my off data.

32
00:01:33,275 --> 00:01:35,765
What I can do in here is some basic math.

33
00:01:35,765 --> 00:01:38,375
These little boxes, any of these little white boxes,

34
00:01:38,375 --> 00:01:40,375
you can do some little math, which is really handy.

35
00:01:40,370 --> 00:01:45,790
In here, I can go minus and I'm going to turn up half an inch 0.5.

36
00:01:45,790 --> 00:01:49,010
You'll see it's exactly half an inch.

37
00:01:49,005 --> 00:01:51,165
Do the same here, minus 0.5.

38
00:01:51,165 --> 00:01:54,885
You can do times, If I did times 2,

39
00:01:54,885 --> 00:01:57,095
it will be times 2 inches,

40
00:01:57,090 --> 00:01:58,830
it's that little asterisks,

41
00:01:58,830 --> 00:02:02,350
and it's a whole lot told them that needs to be, I undo.

42
00:02:02,345 --> 00:02:08,005
I'm going to get minus 0.5 minus plus all that stuff works,

43
00:02:08,005 --> 00:02:09,335
and to get it in the middle,

44
00:02:09,335 --> 00:02:10,405
you could use your line tools.

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,660
There's mine at the top here,

46
00:02:11,660 --> 00:02:13,330
or there was a panel that we saw earlier,

47
00:02:13,325 --> 00:02:16,225
but actually it's just easier to grab your black arrow click "Hold",

48
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:18,080
and you'll notice that it just snaps.

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,630
You see those two purple,

50
00:02:19,625 --> 00:02:21,895
pinky lines just saying, "Hey,

51
00:02:21,890 --> 00:02:24,910
there's the middle," and you'll see visually it looks like it's in the middle.

52
00:02:24,905 --> 00:02:29,585
It's actually 0.5, half an inch from all the sides and it looks nice and perfect.

53
00:02:29,585 --> 00:02:31,375
Now, to make the line dotted.

54
00:02:31,370 --> 00:02:34,940
We're going to give it no fill, click on my fill,

55
00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:37,670
I'm going to get a none, and this one here,

56
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:40,550
the structure on the outside, I'm going to make a white, or paper.

57
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:43,400
This is the stroke here, how thick it is.

58
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,480
At the moment it's one point,

59
00:02:44,475 --> 00:02:45,505
it's probably what I want,

60
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:48,740
but let's make it nice and big just as an example so we can all see what we're doing.

61
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:52,780
So bump it up to four points and now we need to find our stroke panel.

62
00:02:52,775 --> 00:02:56,435
Mine is there, if you can't find yours here go to Window,

63
00:02:56,435 --> 00:02:58,365
go down to Stroke and turn it on.

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Now, yours might look a little different as well,

65
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,440
yours might be these little flier means new that

66
00:03:02,435 --> 00:03:05,005
higher options and if yours looks like mine,

67
00:03:05,005 --> 00:03:06,695
you've got really basic control.

68
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:09,330
Click on this option and say "Show Options" and you get

69
00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:11,690
the big aggravation with all the details that we

70
00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:14,560
need and the one we need the moment is type.

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,780
That's going to allow us to change it from a solid line that

72
00:03:16,775 --> 00:03:18,955
we know it to all these other options.

73
00:03:18,950 --> 00:03:20,570
There's some wind ones,

74
00:03:20,570 --> 00:03:23,680
ones that I've never used Thick-Thin, you might like them,

75
00:03:23,675 --> 00:03:25,135
White Diamond I've used,

76
00:03:25,135 --> 00:03:27,325
Dotted lines and Dashed lines are the ones that we're going

77
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,390
to look at the moment and there's two kinds of dotted.

78
00:03:29,390 --> 00:03:31,400
Here there's dotted and

79
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,780
some reason the Japanese like their dots a little bit closer together.

80
00:03:34,780 --> 00:03:37,470
Japanese thing not sure.

81
00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:39,560
There's my dots around here,

82
00:03:39,555 --> 00:03:41,495
so if you want a dashed,

83
00:03:41,490 --> 00:03:45,070
is dashed, this at the squiggly line.

84
00:03:45,070 --> 00:03:46,790
You might like the squiggly line.

85
00:03:46,785 --> 00:03:48,415
Isn't way things and they're okay,

86
00:03:48,415 --> 00:03:54,815
but we're going to go to dotted and we're going put the size down to something,

87
00:03:54,815 --> 00:03:57,395
I don't know, I'm putting two points.

88
00:03:57,395 --> 00:04:00,715
Now, you might use dashed lines as a visual thing, like I'm doing here.

89
00:04:00,710 --> 00:04:04,350
There's nothing this dotted line just for pretty sake.

90
00:04:04,350 --> 00:04:07,040
What we're going to do is maybe it's snip here,

91
00:04:07,035 --> 00:04:09,905
this is this like cut this bit off for the reading your coupon.

92
00:04:09,905 --> 00:04:12,625
What you can do is instead of doing for this rectangle,

93
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:15,670
you can do the exact same tricks with just a straight line.

94
00:04:15,665 --> 00:04:17,495
The straight line here I could draw,

95
00:04:17,495 --> 00:04:20,575
and what am I do actually is draw it straight up and down.

96
00:04:20,570 --> 00:04:22,490
If you want to draw a line straight up and down,

97
00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:26,660
it's the similar technique we did when we made a circle.

98
00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:29,130
remember, we held on Shift and it was a perfect circle.

99
00:04:29,125 --> 00:04:31,375
That same technique makes it a perfect line.

100
00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:33,440
So I hold down shift before I start drawing it out.

101
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,260
You can see it really wants to go straight up and down.

102
00:04:36,260 --> 00:04:39,680
Say, that's going to be my perforation line where I want people to snip it off.

103
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,500
It's got a line fill,

104
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:46,430
and the liner on the outside is going to be white.

105
00:04:46,425 --> 00:04:48,985
I'm going to make it two points just so you can see

106
00:04:48,980 --> 00:04:51,500
it and then you can see the exact same controls.

107
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:53,520
Hey, somebody's calling.

108
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,100
Let's go to dashed lines.

109
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,060
I'm going to pause there, go take the phone, I'll be right back.

110
00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:07,580
I'm back and this dashed line, I don't need it,

111
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:10,280
so I've selected with my black arrow and just hit "Delete" on my keyboard,

112
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:12,640
just tap the key on the keyboard and it's gone.

113
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,230
Dashed lines, dotted lines, wavy lines,

114
00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:17,750
curly lines, all of that.

115
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:20,490
Let's move on to our next video.
