00:00:06,710 --> 00:00:08,940
Hi there. In this video,

2
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:10,880
we're going to look at our opacity.

3
00:00:10,875 --> 00:00:13,355
We've put this in the background as a watermark,

4
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:15,770
we'll show you how to put on every page like a watermark.

5
00:00:15,765 --> 00:00:18,515
But what you came here for, is this guy?

6
00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:20,730
So this is like transparency,

7
00:00:20,729 --> 00:00:22,969
but it does a nice reflect with a background,

8
00:00:22,965 --> 00:00:25,835
a rich rather than a washed out thing that

9
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:28,700
happens normally when you just play with the opacity.

10
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:32,240
It's something called blending modes. Let's go and do that now.

11
00:00:32,235 --> 00:00:36,165
So the easy one is I'm going to make sure all my main copy layer,

12
00:00:36,165 --> 00:00:37,925
and I'm going to go to file place.

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,770
I'm just going to do a nice washed out watermark.

14
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:43,970
I'm going to grab the green logo 4.

15
00:00:43,965 --> 00:00:47,105
I'm going to click and drag a nice big version of it.

16
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,820
I'm going to put it down here like this.

17
00:00:50,820 --> 00:00:52,410
I'm going to lower the opacity.

18
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:53,930
We've done this in an earlier tutorial,

19
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:56,010
so we're not going to spend too long on it.

20
00:00:56,005 --> 00:00:58,425
Nice watermark thing.

21
00:00:58,425 --> 00:00:59,815
Now if you want it on every page,

22
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:02,840
say it's a washed out than image and back on every page,

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,000
just make sure it's on your pages panel and it's on

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,860
your A-master as a double-click A-master and put it on these two pages,

25
00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:11,740
and it will appear in the background of all the other pages.

26
00:01:11,735 --> 00:01:15,445
I'm not going to do mine now because mine is white, you're not going to see it.

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,580
The one thing with transparency is if you are working with it,

28
00:01:18,575 --> 00:01:20,455
is to make sure you get a proof mode.

29
00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:22,490
Because the opacity what looks on your screen,

30
00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:25,450
I bet you if I open this actual in design document,

31
00:01:25,445 --> 00:01:27,635
open on lots of different laptops.

32
00:01:27,635 --> 00:01:30,155
You will see that they all look different.

33
00:01:30,155 --> 00:01:31,585
You might be thinking, "Yeah,

34
00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:34,180
that's just the perfect amount of opacity."

35
00:01:34,175 --> 00:01:35,635
But when you send that off to your printer,

36
00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:38,750
it comes back and it's either way too bright,

37
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:40,100
or way too dull.

38
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,560
I've done it before to send off to business cards,

39
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,660
came back and you couldn't even tell I had a watermark.

40
00:01:45,655 --> 00:01:47,305
Which was not a big problem,

41
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:50,960
but I've had it the other way when proofs have come back and the watermark is really,

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,840
really strong, it just overpowers the white text as well.

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,310
Get a proof done from your printers to say I want you to print the front cover

44
00:01:57,305 --> 00:02:00,955
only send me a proof often they'll cost you.

45
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:04,820
They normally call that a Wet Proof or if you just print again in your office easy-peasy,

46
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:06,200
print it off and check.

47
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,950
Let's look at the more advanced transparency where we start looking at Lyon modes.

48
00:02:09,950 --> 00:02:12,430
First up, let's grab an image for this page to.

49
00:02:12,425 --> 00:02:15,105
Double click page 2, file place.

50
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:21,400
It's called image 1, click open and I'm going to click and drag it out a certain size.

51
00:02:21,395 --> 00:02:25,925
I'm zooming out, holding there my command and shift and

52
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:30,600
dragging it so it is roughly bigger than my page.

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,090
I'm going to go now and resize and reposing.

54
00:02:33,090 --> 00:02:35,510
Hit W's to get on my guides back,

55
00:02:35,505 --> 00:02:39,975
tuck it all in into there,

56
00:02:39,975 --> 00:02:43,395
and line it all out with my bleed.

57
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:48,540
You can use your content, grab up or double-click it and move it across.

58
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:56,800
Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab the rectangle tool and I'm going to draw

59
00:02:56,795 --> 00:03:01,745
a rectangle that fits this space is where I'll put is going to go,

60
00:03:01,745 --> 00:03:06,285
I'm going to give it a fill of my green it hot red,

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,580
go back to my selection tool,

62
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:10,330
and this is where it's going to get interesting.

63
00:03:10,325 --> 00:03:12,795
I wanted to do some stuff because opacity is going to work.

64
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:16,540
If I lower it down, but it ends up looking quite washed out,

65
00:03:16,535 --> 00:03:20,435
and that's not the effect I want or that we saw at the beginning of this video.

66
00:03:20,435 --> 00:03:23,365
So what we do is turn the opacity back up to 100.

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,830
What we're going to do is play around with object.

68
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:27,650
We're going to look at a fix and we're going to

69
00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:29,690
play around with this one called transparency.

70
00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:32,190
So it's slightly different from opacity,

71
00:03:32,185 --> 00:03:35,185
very similar effect if you just leave it on normal,

72
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:37,360
I lower it down, it looks the same as opacity,

73
00:03:37,355 --> 00:03:40,795
but what I'm going to do is start playing around with these things called LAB modes.

74
00:03:40,795 --> 00:03:45,395
You can see instantly the first one multiplies a whole lot better.

75
00:03:45,395 --> 00:03:47,985
Screen in you can just work your way through.

76
00:03:47,989 --> 00:03:50,959
Don't worry too much about there's not a perfect one every time.

77
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,230
It'll depend on the color that you have,

78
00:03:53,225 --> 00:03:54,595
the top and now case read,

79
00:03:54,590 --> 00:03:58,370
if yours is blue, it will look different with these little settings.

80
00:03:58,370 --> 00:04:00,060
So just work through your image.

81
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:01,340
How to fix your walls,

82
00:04:01,335 --> 00:04:03,415
and have a little look through color bins is the one

83
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:05,650
I want to go through them all, find the one you like.

84
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,095
You can lower down the opacity afterwards.

85
00:04:08,090 --> 00:04:10,480
So you like color bin but just maybe not as strong,

86
00:04:10,475 --> 00:04:12,175
and that's how we do some more like

87
00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:16,640
interesting transparency when you add this thing called Blending Modes.

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,830
Let's click, Okay, and that'll be it for this video.

89
00:04:19,825 --> 00:04:25,265
I'll see you in the next one where we start looking at rounding these corners. Let's see
