http://www.designcourse.com/videos/us... - Learn how to use negative space for logo designs. Watch as I put myself on the spot by randomly choosing 2 letters and 2 nouns that begin with the letter and then attempt to illustrate the idea of the noun within the actual letters using negative space. Try it, it's good for practice!

How to Add Layer in Illustrator

We will teach you how to add a layer in Illustrator.

When working with complex artwork, it's always better to organize it in different layers. Layers in illustrator help in selecting small objects present in your artwork and would save you a lot of time.

Don't forget to check out our site http://howtech.tv/ for more free how-to videos!

Step 1 -- Add a new layer

To add layer in Illustrator, we have to move to the layer panel section. In the layer panel, we will create a new layer by clicking on the respective icon, highlighted in the image below.

You will notice that that the new layer has been added in the panel and the total number of layers appearing at the bottom has also increased as a result.

Step 2 -- Hide a layer

The visibility column in the layer panel denotes indicates whether the contents of the layer are visible or not. You can hide the layer by simply clicking on the icon marked in the image.

Step 3 -- Lock layers

Furthermore, if you only want to work on a specific layer, you can lock the rest of the layers. In this way, the contents of those layers in Illustrator can't be selected and you can easily work on a single layer.

Step 4 -- Select a layer

If you have made a selection, an indicator is shown on the layers panel. This means that the objects that you have selected are present in this layer.

Step 5 -- Working with sub layers

Furthermore, you can create a new sub layer within the selected layer by clicking on the sub layer icon at the bottom. Once done, you will see a new sub layer created within the selected layer.

Sublayers allow you to combine multiple objects and images as different layers so that you can adjust each and every component of the artwork individually and non-destructively. For example, here we can hide the seek bar from the logo by hiding a sublayer within Layer1.

These are some of the ways in which you can work with layers in Adobe Illustrator.

Applying Fill and
Stroke Colors
Apply Colors to an Object, Fill or

Select an object, fill, or stroke
using the appropriate selection
tool.
Click the Fill or Stroke color box
on the Tools or Color panel to
choose the color's destination.
Click the Color button on the Tools
panel to apply a color or click
None to apply no color.
Use any of the following methods
to change the active fill or stroke
colors:
◆ Select the Swatches panel, and
then click a color swatch to
change the color.
◆ Select the Color panel, and
then specify a color using the
controls.
◆ Select the Color Guide panel,
and then click a color swatch
to change the color.
◆ Select the Eyedropper tool on
the Tools panel, and then click
anywhere in the active
document to change the color.
◆ Double-click the Fill or Stroke
color box to open the Color
Picker dialog box, select a
color or enter color values, and
then click OK.
4Use Default and Switch the Fill
and Stroke Colors
Click the Default Colors Fill and
Stroke Colors buttons to revert the
fill and stroke colors to their
default values of black and white.
Click the Switch Fill and Stroke
Colors button to switch current
colors.
TIMESAVER Press D to
change the foreground and
background colors to their default
values of black and white, and

You can add colors from the Color
Picker to the Swatches panel. Open
the Color Picker dialog box, select the
color you want to add to the Swatches
panel, click Add To Swatches, type a
name for the color, and then click OK.

The Stroke panel makes it easy to change stroke attributes, such as
weight (width), position on the path, and its style. The weight of a
stroke represents the thickness of the line. A weight smaller than .25
may not print and a weight of 0 removes the stroke. In addition to the
width of a stroke, you can also specify the position (known as alignment)
of the stroke on the path (either center, inside, or outside) and
change the caps or joins of a stroke to sharpen or round endpoints and
corners. A cap is the end of an open line, while a join is a corner.
Changing Stroke
Attributes
Change the Weight of a Stroke
Select one or more objects.
Select the Stroke panel.
Specify or enter a weight in the
Stroke or Control panel.
◆ Click the up or down arrow, or
Shift+click to change the
weight by a larger interval
Change the Alignment of a
Stroke on the Path

◆ Align Stroke to Center.
◆ Align Stroke to Inside.
◆ Align Stroke to Outside

of the following buttons:
◆ Butt Cap. Creates a squareedged
end.
◆ Round Cap. Creates a rounded
end.
◆ Projecting Cap. Creates a
square-edged end that extends
past the endpoint.
To change the bends on corner
points, click one of the following:
◆ Miter Join. Creates a pointed
join point.
◆ Enter a miter limit between 1
and 500. When the length of
the point reaches the limit
(default 4) times the stroke
weight, Illustrator switches
from a miter join to a bevel
join.
◆ Round Join. Creates a rounded
join point.
◆ Bevel Join. Creates a beveled
(cut off) join point.
Style is what stands out on the page. You can change the stroke style
by applying dashes and arrowheads using the Stroke panel. When you
create a dashed stroke, you can choose to align the dashes around
corners and at the end of open paths or preserve the dashes and gaps
in the stroke (New!). In addition to dashes, you can also add and
define an arrowhead to a stroke (New!). After you add an arrowhead
to a stroke, you can adjust its alignment and scale.

Simple Techniques for Making Complex Vector Art and Illustrations
Like my tutorials? Why not donate a buck or two! https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...

Download the same file that I used in the lesson:http://www.claytowne.com/beats-diggin...

This tutorial deconstructs a vector illustration to expose the techniques behind the scenes and then I freehand two drawings from scratch demonstrating those same techniques. Topics include how and why to use layers to your advantage, how to use the pen tool, why and when you should use the pencil tool, and when it's best to use the brush tool.

Tech Specs for people who are into this stuff:

I use a Wacom Intuos 4 medium size tablet for all drawing. If you are a serious artist you MUST have a tablet. At the very least get a Wacom Bamboo. They're like $50.

I'm running a custom rig that I built myself back in 2009. It's a Windows 7 64 bit box with a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard. It's got 12 GB Corsair DDR3 RAM, a Pentium i7 920 CPU, a Nvida GeForce GTX 280 graphic card, six WD Caviar Black 1TB drives in a RAID 1 configuration. My OS and programs are on one RAID array, and the other two RAID arrays hold my files. I also have two RAID 1 external drives for additional backups. Rounding out the system is a Corsair XT 750 power supply, two 1000 watt UPS backups, a USB 3 PCI Express card, an eSATA PCI express card (I ran out of SATA ports with so many hard drives) a HD Pro Logitec webcam and a pair of DVD burners

new horizontal position—simply type +3 after the current value in the Transform panel.

Do any of the following:
Type a value in the box, and press Enter or Return.
Drag the slider.
