I spent a whole week trying to figure out how to do this from AI help files. You have transformed chaos to harmony in a mere 11 minutes and 45 seconds. Thank you so much.
Hello there! I just wanted you to know that I signed in specifically to leave a comment about how great this tutorial is. Thank you so much for your help! Bravo!
I had to do some Illustrator work because the person who normally does it was out sick. I spent a good deal of time viewing other tutorials before I found yours. You have a great voice and you instruct a beginner like me without making them feel like an idiot. You have not forgotten what it was like to be a beginner and that is what makes you a great teacher! Although a pro could have done it much faster, I did do a great job in the allotted time and my boss is pleased. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I am always learning something new in Illustrator, so I can never forget what it's like to be a beginner! I'm glad your boss is happy, and glad I could help you. :-)
thank you a million times over for creating this video. i have always had such a hard time doing this, usually by guessing with my eye. VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW !
Great, thank you! Text in a circle is for some reason one of the most frustrating things to do in Illustrator but it's the thing that everyone wants to do! I'm glad this helped you.
+Joe Ferris I'm so glad! Many is the time I've thought of throwing my own computer out the window, which is why I made this tutorial channel to save others the expense. Good luck with your type in a circle - maybe you will make your own tutorial!
Wow! I am just starting with Photoshop and Illustrator and it can be quite overwhelming at first, but the way you explain everything really makes it easy to follow. Thank you for a great tutorial :)
Great tutorial! I have created my own logos for my swim team and have been looking for a good tutorial on making a round logo. You nailed it. Thanks a bunch!
+Baby Vegan 13 Sorry for such a late reply! RU-vid does a bad job of notifying me about comments so I have to search for them. Thank you so much for watching and for the comment.
+Kain Caudill Select > All, then Object > Group. And yes this entire thing is vector unless you have imported a raster image. Re: saving, I recommend saving as a .pdf or .ai, but depends on what you're saving it for. :-)
One Minute Digital please do :D can't wait for more tuts .. Also if you don't mind me asking, how do you convert an image into a vector without those funny looking effect that you'll get from image trace. I saw lots of of em on a free-vector-download sites.
shuq aries Great question - The trick with vectorizing photos is to start out with a very clean image in Photoshop. Use Photoshop's Curves tool (Image > Adjustments > Curves) to make a more clear black and white image. That way when you bring it into Illustrator the image trace tool can find the lines more easily. Also play with the Image Trace settings in Illustrator to get the effect that you want - usually Silhouette works well. Then it's just manual cleanup using Illustrator's Eraser tool to smooth the jagged lines. It can be time-consuming but the overall effect is great.
One Minute Digital thank you sooo much :D I'll try em now , soo much to learn..I'm great with AE but a total noob when it comes to Illustrator or Photoshop.
How do you get the little prompt window to come up when you make a new object such as an ellipse circle, so that it's easy to determine the dimensions? Thank you
Hello, first of all great tutorial, second, when I want to adjust the leading in te bottom half of the text, it does not do nothing... it works if I adjust the size, kerning, but not leading so I cant get the bottom text to touch the line as you suggested... I am breaking my head trying to figure that out, could you please help me? Ive tried finding answers on google but nothing helps, thank you!
I am in CC 2014 and the toolbar looks totally different than yours, and I can't find "align to selection." Can you help? Thanks for these videos, it's a great service!
+Robyn Landis Go up to your main menu to Window > Align. That will bring up your Alignment box where you can choose where to align from and all the distribution tools will be there. Hope that helps - thanks for the comment!
nice tutorial---dont know if any of you remember Freehand---Illustrator is good but falls way short in some fundamentals---a video to do this in Freehand would have taken 1 minute at most.
