WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 00:00:06.530 --> 00:00:08.700 Hi there. In this video, 00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:10.770 we're going to look at using the eyedropper tool and we've 00:00:10.770 --> 00:00:13.350 stolen a color out of there and put it into our box. 00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:15.975 We're stealing a color from this that matches exactly. 00:00:15.975 --> 00:00:18.465 We've also stolen the subheading, 00:00:18.465 --> 00:00:21.360 font and color and size and reuse that a couple of times, 00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:24.300 completely bypassing the complex paragraph styles, 00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:25.590 a nice, quick, easy way, 00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:26.955 we love the eyedropper tool. 00:00:26.955 --> 00:00:30.810 Lets go do. First thing is let's open up our exercise files. 00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:32.445 So go to File, Open. 00:00:32.445 --> 00:00:35.550 In our design exercise files, 00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:36.875 there's one called eyedropper tool. 00:00:36.875 --> 00:00:40.040 Open them up. So a couple of things we can do with the eyedropper, 00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:42.410 one is we can steal colors from images. 00:00:42.410 --> 00:00:44.105 We did this with logos earlier. 00:00:44.105 --> 00:00:45.650 So I've got this box selected here, 00:00:45.650 --> 00:00:46.900 grab my eyedropper tool. 00:00:46.900 --> 00:00:49.130 Now we don't want the color thing towards the stage, 00:00:49.130 --> 00:00:51.380 we want to grab the eyedropper tool which is underneath. 00:00:51.380 --> 00:00:55.510 So hold down on the color thing too and then select eyedropper tool. 00:00:55.510 --> 00:00:59.320 What we can do is you make sure this is selected first with the black arrow, 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.490 then just pick a color from here and we're going to pick that 00:01:01.490 --> 00:01:05.490 one. It has actually worked. 00:01:05.490 --> 00:01:07.490 If I click off and click in the background, 00:01:07.490 --> 00:01:08.990 it's actually pulled up for the stroke. 00:01:08.990 --> 00:01:11.885 The reason it did that is if I have it selected, 00:01:11.885 --> 00:01:13.265 grab my eyedropper tool, 00:01:13.265 --> 00:01:16.055 it's because down here my stroke is at the front. 00:01:16.055 --> 00:01:18.425 In design things, I mean to put it there. 00:01:18.425 --> 00:01:20.990 So what I can do now is I can take this double arrow which 00:01:20.990 --> 00:01:23.840 switches it around or before I do it, 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.100 which is probably more useful. 00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:29.035 I'm undoing until those back to normal is I'm going to bring the fill to the front. 00:01:29.035 --> 00:01:30.885 That's the front there now, 00:01:30.885 --> 00:01:32.745 telling in design I mean you, 00:01:32.745 --> 00:01:35.720 the fill, and I'm going to pick a color. This one. 00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:37.430 Same with this black arrow, 00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:39.320 click on this guy, grab the eyedropper tool, 00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:40.535 make sure the fills at front, 00:01:40.535 --> 00:01:44.005 if that's what you want to work on and a pill a color from this. 00:01:44.005 --> 00:01:46.450 Those are horrible colors, 00:01:46.450 --> 00:01:48.110 that are very close to each other. 00:01:48.110 --> 00:01:49.430 So I'm going to pick a different one, 00:01:49.430 --> 00:01:51.600 maybe a red from in here. 00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:56.940 Another thing we can do is with the eyedropper is using fonts. 00:01:56.940 --> 00:01:59.970 We looked at paragraph styles earlier on, which is really cool. 00:01:59.970 --> 00:02:01.880 But say you not using paragraph styles because 00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:03.870 you're just working on something small little fly. 00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:07.715 You don't need all that extra level of complexity with styles. 00:02:07.715 --> 00:02:11.720 So what you're going to do is highlight the subheading here and this guy. 00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:13.025 I want to steal this. 00:02:13.025 --> 00:02:16.910 So grab the eyedropper tool and say I want you, which is really cool, 00:02:16.910 --> 00:02:18.950 gets even better because I don't 00:02:18.950 --> 00:02:21.320 have to then select this texts here and try and do it again. 00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:23.330 The cursor has changed. 00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:27.560 so it's like full of that style now. So I can keep using it. 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.150 Watch this I like you, I like you. 00:02:31.150 --> 00:02:33.915 I can keep going through and doing this. 00:02:33.915 --> 00:02:36.915 So eyedropper tool is great for stealing both colors, 00:02:36.915 --> 00:02:39.910 and stealing fonts and sizes and colors. 00:02:39.910 --> 00:02:44.150 One last use if I go off to my black arrow and back to my eyedropper tool, 00:02:44.150 --> 00:02:46.190 that gets rid of that thing that I had. 00:02:46.190 --> 00:02:48.245 Actually, I want to grab the type tool, 00:02:48.245 --> 00:02:50.030 highlight this text here. 00:02:50.030 --> 00:02:55.720 Grabbed the eyedropper tool, and I want to steal this color here, brown. 00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:59.190 Highlight this text again with a type tool, 00:02:59.190 --> 00:03:00.330 grab the eyedropper tool, 00:03:00.330 --> 00:03:01.680 and I want to steal the rate. 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.480 Great. So the eyedropper tool can be used for stealing colors and fonts. 00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:07.175 That will be it for this video. 00:03:07.175 --> 00:03:09.630 Let's go and do the next one.
