10 Flow Text into an Object Filling an object with text Use the Area Type Tool and Vertical Area Type Tool to flow text into any shape you create Text in object can be formatted as usual You can manipulate object just like any other Chapter 2 10

11 Flow Text into an Object Chapter 2 11

12 Flow Text into an Object Locking objects Lock Selection command with Hide command on Object menu allows you to exempt an object from modification Locked objects can only be selected by choosing Unlock All command Press [Shift] while you click to deselect object to relock remaining objects Chapter 2 12

13 Flow Text into an Object Using Rulers, Guides, and the Grid Illustrator has two built-in rulers that run along top and left side of document window Create ruler guides and place on artboard by placing mouse pointer on top of ruler and dragging on to artboard As you drag ruler, guide will emerge On release, guide will be position at that point Chapter 2 13

14 Flow Text into an Object Using Rulers, Guides, and the Grid To view rulers Click View on menu bar Click Show Rulers Lock and hide guides temporarily Click View on menu bar Point to Guides all Guide menu commands shown Grid is another tool to align objects on artboard Defined in Guides & Grid section of Preferences dialog box Chapter 2 14

15 Making guides Flow Text into an Object Select any object and make it into guide Use Make Guide command on View menu You can also click and drag mouse pointer from each ruler to the artboard Chapter 2 15

16 Position Text on a Path Using the Path Type Tools Type along straight or curved path using the Type on a Path Tool or Vertical Type on a Path Tool Move text along path Flip text to make it run in opposite direction on opposite side of path Change baseline shift to modify distance text s baseline is above or below path Chapter 2 16

17 Position Text on a Path Text on a Path Text flipped across a path Chapter 2 17

18 Create Colors and Gradients Using the Gradient panel Gradient is graduated blend between colors Panel is command center for creating and adjusting gradients Gradient slider represents the gradient being created Gradients contain at least two colors Leftmost color is starting color Rightmost color is ending color Chapter 2 18

19 Create Colors and Gradients Using the Gradient panel Type list arrow Gradient Fill box Location text box Angle text box Gradient Slider Stops Chapter 2 19

20 Create Colors and Gradients Using the Gradient panel Point at which two colors meet in equal measure called midpoint Represented by diamond above slider, which is called Gradient Slider Need not be positioned evenly between start and end Change look by moving Gradient Slider to change midpoint location Swatches panel contains standard gradients that come with software Chapter 2 20

21 Create Colors and Gradients Using the Gradient panel To create your own gradients Click object filled with existing gradient Modify existing gradient in Gradient panel Change beginning and ending colors Change midpoint Add additional colors or remove colors Chapter 2 21

22 Create Colors and Gradients Using the Gradient panel Define a gradient as linear or radial Linear gradient can be positioned: Left to right Up and down On any angle change angle by entering new value in Angle text box in Gradient panel Chapter 2 22

23 Create Colors and Gradients Using the Gradient panel With radial gradient, starting color at center of gradient Blend radiates out to ending color Chapter 2 23

24 Create Colors and Gradients Using the Color panel Color panel is where you move sliders to mix new colors for fills, strokes, and gradients Panel has five color modes: CMYK RGB Grayscale shades of gray in percentages of black HSB adjust hue, saturation, and brightness Web Safe RGB create colors in accordance with HTML Default CMYK or RGB depending on mode selected You can also type values directly into text boxes Chapter 2 24

25 Create Colors and Gradients Adding colors and gradients to the Swatches panel After defining color or gradient, save it by dragging it into Swatches panel Name it by double-clicking it, then type name in Swatch Options dialog box Object can t be modified unless it is done so in Gradient panel Chapter 2 25

26 Create Colors and Gradients Color panel Current fill and stroke colors CMYK color values None Sliders CMYK Spectrum Chapter 2 26

27 Apply Colors and Gradients to Text Applying fills and strokes to text By default text is generated with black fill and no stroke To change color of text, select it by highlighting it with Type Tool or switch to Selection Tool With Selection Tool, text is selected as single object and any color change affects text globally To change fill or stroke of individual character, select with Type Tool Fill color Stroke color Chapter 2 27

28 Apply Colors and Gradients to Text Converting text to outlines To fill text with a gradient: Convert text into an object by selecting text, then using Create Outlines command on Type menu Letterforms become standard Illustrator objects with anchor points and paths Chapter 2 28

29 Apply Colors and Gradients to Text Create Outlines makes it possible to create document with text without fonts Once text converted to outlines, you can no longer change typeface To change, go to Character panel before converting to outlines Chapter 2 29

30 Apply Colors and Gradients to Text Outlines filled with a gradient Each outline is filled with the gradient Chapter 2 30

31 Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Using the Gradient Tool Gradient Tool used to manipulate gradient fills Select an object with gradient fill Drag Gradient Tool over the object Where you begin dragging and where you end determines length of blend from starting to ending color Chapter 2 31

32 Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Using the Gradient Tool For linear gradients, angle you drag determines angle blend fills object Apply same gradient to multiple objects Select object, use Gradient Tool to extend across all objects Chapter 2 32

33 Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Using the Gradient Tool If multiple objects selected, each object filled with entire length of gradient from beginning color to end color When text converted to outline and fill applied, gradient automatically fills each letter independently Chapter 2 33

34 Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Examples of different angles and lengths of a gradient fill created with the Gradient Tool Chapter 2 34

35 Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Adding a drop shadow To apply a drop shadow to text Copy text Paste copy behind it Fill copy with darker color Use keyboard arrows to move it so it is offset from original Chapter 2 35

36 Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Drop shadow created using the Paste in Back command Chapter 2 36

37 ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS3 Chapter 3 Drawing and Composing an Illustration

38 Draw Straight Lines View Objects on the Artboard Use the Zoom Tool to enlarge areas of the artboard for easier viewing Click and drag the Zoom Tool over an area to magnify it (Marquee Zoom) Use the New View command to save a view of the artboard Saving views is an effective way to increase your productivity Views that have been saved are listed at the bottom of the View menu Chapter 3 38

39 Drawing Straight Segments Drawing straight segments with the Pen Tool Use the Pen Tool to make lines, called paths When the Pen Tool is clicked on the artboard, anchor points are made Straight segments are automatically placed between every two anchor points Corner point when two straight segments are united Selected anchor points appear as white or hollow, while unselected points appear as solid. Chapter 3 39

40 Drawing Straight Segments Drawing straight segments with the Pen Tool Anchor points and segments can be moved, repositioned, added, and deleted Once object completed, use Direct Selection Tool to perfect points and segments When the Pen Tool is positioned over a line segment of a selected path, the Add Anchor Point Tool appears. Chapter 3 40

41 Drawing Straight Segments Elements of a path composed of straight segments Corner anchor point Line segment Ending anchor point Starting anchor point Corner anchor points Chapter 3 41

42 Draw Curved Lines Defining properties of curved lines Click and drag the Pen Tool to create anchor points along a curved line Draw a curved path by clicking and dragging the Pen Tool to create points Anchor points created by clicking and dragging are known as smooth points Chapter 3 42

43 Draw Curved Lines Defining properties of curved lines Direction lines are exposed when you use the Direct Selection Tool Click and drag direction points at end of direction lines to reshape curves Smooth point always has two direction lines that move as a unit When you manipulate direction lines through a smooth point, a smooth transition is maintained The angle and length of direction lines define the arc of a curved segment Chapter 3 43

44 Draw Curved Lines Defining properties of curved lines When two paths joined at corner point, the two paths can be manipulated independently Corner point can join: Two straight segments One straight and one curved segment Two curved segments Chapter 3 44

45 Draw Curved Lines Smooth anchor point Direction line Direction point Chapter 3 45

46 A corner point joining two straight segments Draw Curved Lines A corner point joining one straight and one curved segment A smooth point A corner point joining two curved paths (note the direction lines) Chapter 3 46

48 Draw Curved Lines Converting a corner point to a smooth point Corner point Corner point converted to a smooth point Chapter 3 48

49 Draw Elements of an Illustration Drawing from scratch Start with a new Illustrator document and create the illustration using only the Illustrator tools Illustrator s shape tools combined with transformation tools make program powerful for creating geometric designs Undo and Redo commands allow for easy experimentation Chapter 3 49

50 Draw Elements of an Illustration Drawing from scratch Illustration created from scratch Chapter 3 50

51 Draw Elements of an Illustration Tracing a scanned image is a great skill used by professional designers. Use the Place command (located under the File Menu) to import a scanned image into Illustrator Trace the image in Illustrator Place a scanned sketch in Illustrator and trace it Chapter 3 51

52 Assemble an Illustration Assembling an illustration Use stacking order commands to assemble various components of an illustration Sequence in which elements are drawn determines the stacking order: Newer elements appear in front of older elements Locking and hiding placed elements will help protect when positioned correctly Tweaking refers to making small improvements to your illustrations. Chapter 3 52

53 ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS3 Chapter 4 Transforming and Distorting Objects

54 Transform objects Defining the Transform Tools Transformation occurs when an object s size, shape, or position is changed on artboard Tools panel contains five transform tools: Rotate Scale Reflect Shear Free Transform Chapter 4 54

55 Transform objects Defining the point of origin All transformations executed in relation to a fixed point and called point of origin Default point of origin is object s center point You can change center point to another point on the object or somewhere else on the artboard Chapter 4 55

56 Transform objects Defining the point of origin There are four basic methods for making transformations with transform tools Click a transform tool, then click and drag anywhere on artboard Double-click transform tool, which opens tool s dialog box Click a transform tool, then click artboard to define point of origin Click transform tool, press [Alt](Win) or [option](mac), then click artboard and tool's dialog box opens Chapter 4 56

57 Transform objects The Reflect Tool flips an image All transformations are executed from a point of origin Chapter 4 57

58 Transform objects Working with the Transform Again Command You can repeat a transformation again quickly with the Transform Again command Scale or rotate Moving Quickest way to use Transform Again command is to press [Ctrl][D](Win) or [D](Mac) Chapter 4 58

59 Transform objects Using the Transform Each command Command allows you to transform multiple objects individually Transform Each dialog box offers options to move, Before After scale, rotation, or reflect an object among others The eight squares are rotated on their own center points Chapter 4 59

60 Transform objects Using the Free Transform Tool The Free Transform Tool applies an eight-handled bounding box to a selected image Move handles to scale and shear object Click and drag outside the object to rotate the object Moving handles in conjunction with keyboard commands allows you to distort the object, or distort object in perspective Press and hold [Shift][Ctrl](Win) or [Shift] (Mac) to distort image Press and hold [Shift][Alt][Ctrl](Win) or [Shift][option] (Mac) while dragging to distort in perspective Chapter 4 60

61 Transform Objects Using the Transform panel Transform panel displays information about size, orientation, and location of one or more selected objects Type new values directly into the Transform panel to modify selected objects You can identify the reference point on the bounding box from which the object will be transformed Chapter 4 61

62 Transform Objects Use the Free Transform Tool to distort objects in perspective Chapter 4 62

63 Transform Objects Transform panel list arrow Rotate text box Height text box Width text box Shear text box Chapter 4 63

64 Offset and Outline Path Command Using the Offset Path command Offset Path command creates a copy of a selected path set off by a specific distance Useful when working with closed paths making concentric shapes or making many copies of a path at a regular distance from original When you offset a closed path Positive value creates larger copy outside original Negative value creates a smaller copy inside original Chapter 4 64

65 Offset and Outline Path Command Concentric circles produced by the Scale Tool Concentric circles produced by the Offset Path command Chapter 4 65

66 Offset and Outline Path Command Using the Outline Stroke command Outline Stroke command converts a stroke path into a closed path the same width as original stroke path Useful for applying gradient to a stroke Useful design tool for modifying object outline Easier to create an object with a single heavy stroke then convert it to a closed path Chapter 4 66

67 Offset and Outline Path Command The Outline Stroke command converts a stroked path to a closed object Chapter 4 67

68 Create Compound Paths Defining a compound path Compound path used to make hole or holes in an object Select the object in back and the object in front and apply the Make Compound Path command If you move the front object independently, it yields interesting results which Illustrator calls compound shapes Chapter 4 68

69 Create Compound Paths Defining a compound path When two or more objects are compounded, Illustrator defines them as one object Compound paths function as groups Select and manipulate an individual element with Direct Selection Tool Cannot change appearance attributes independently Chapter 4 69

70 Create Compound Paths Releasing a compound path Apply the Release Compound Path command to return objects to original composition Chapter 4 70

71 Create Compound Paths The letter D is an example of a compound path Chapter 4 71

72 Create Compound Paths Manipulating compound paths can yield interesting effects Chapter 4 72

73 Work with the Pathfinder Panel Defining a compound shape A compound shape is two or more paths combined so that holes appear Chapter 4 73

74 Work with the Pathfinder Panel Understanding essential pathfinder filters Pathfinders are preset operations that help combine paths Useful for creating complex or irregular shapes from basic shapes Illustrator offers ten pathfinders five are essential Chapter 4 74

75 Work with the Pathfinder Panel No Filter Add Subtract Intersect Minus Back Divide Chapter 4 75

76 Work with the Pathfinder Panel Using the Pathfinder panel Create compound shapes by overlapping two or more objects, then clicking one of four shape mode buttons Add Subtract Intersect Exclude When shape mode button applied, two overlapping objects combined into one object with same formatting as top level Chapter 4 76

77 Work with the Pathfinder Panel Using the Pathfinder panel After shape mode button applied, original objects can be selected and formatted using Direct Selection Tool Another way is to click Expand button in Pathfinder panel Another is to press[alt](win) or [option](mac) Chapter 4 77

78 Work with the Pathfinder Panel Add to shape area button Subtract from shape area button Intersect shape areas button Exclude overlapping shape areas button Divide button Minus Back button Trim button Merge button Crop button Outline button Chapter 4 78

79 Work with the Pathfinder Panel Applying shape modes and pathfinders When shape modes are applied to objects, compound shape can be manipulated endlessly When shapes are expanded, the result is final Chapter 4 79

80 Creating Clipping Masks Defining a Clipping Mask Use clipping mask as a window to see some or all of the objects behind the mask in the stacking order Apply Make Clipping Mask command Top object becomes the mask Objects behind become masked Only parts of masked object seen will be through mask Chapter 4 80

81 Creating Clipping Masks Four objects being masked Black circle becomes mask Chapter 4 81

82 Creating Clipping Masks Using multiple objects as a clipping mask First, make them into compound paths Illustrator regards compound paths as a single object Single object can be used as a single mask Creating mask effects Position as many items as you want behind mask Chapter 4 82

83 Creating Clipping Masks Masks can be used for stunning visual effects Chapter 4 83
