Great tute, took me a little while to figure out I had to change my tool menu from Basic to Advanced... just in case anyone else can't find the tools you use in the beginning
At around 1:08:47, another way to round out that corner is to use the direct selection tool (A). Just select that specific anchor at the upper right, a circle with a dot in it's center will appear. Pull that circle 45 degrees downward opposite (in this case left), and it will start rounding that corner. How much roundness you want depends how far you pull the circle.
This was one of the best Illustrator tutorials I've ever watched! I am a self-taught graphic designer, so I've got pockets of knowledge that allow me to do what I need to do, but I've also got quite a few gaps. This tutorial goes through all of the important tools without being exhausting. It filled a TON of gaps for me in about an hour!
59:20 Instead of creating custom swatches with the lines, you could make the lines/abstract shape a pattern and select the option to size the pattern to the art. It behaves much better that way
59:43 sideways line works when you double click the pattern Swatch then tick the size tile to art and move tile with art. Also it helps me a lot thank you.
Practice and learn something are the result of success. I am a graphic designer with having 1 year experience. But when I see Your tutorials , I realize that I'm just nothing to those designs. I'm still a junior In my career. These are so amazing. Thank you so much.
Good tutorial! Few notes: 58:52 (Use the pathfinder with the intersect option and you'll be left with the design you wanted in a square form) 1:00:41 Trim only the right and bottom edges so that you don't create white spaces when the shape repeats itself
NTS: PATHFINDER 30:01 Join, minus front, intersect, exclude (opposite of Intersect) 32:10 Divide - where the shapes overlap are separated into separate shapes 33:40 Shape Builder Tool - Combine separate shapes into one 47:30 Smooth Tool - smoothes out a line 49:10 Knife Tool - Can cut apart shapes like a knife 56:50 Add Shapes/Patterns to Swatches (kinda sucks but OK)
Illustrator is probably one of the MOST useful programs in the Adobe spectrum, but I'm not sure I will ever feel like I will master it. I don't use it every day, so I struggle when I need to. Thanks to videos like this, I can get through it. Thank you.
Im good at drawing but i had no contact with illustrator before and took a job to design a logo. I was so frustrated clicking around and achieving nothing but nonsense. This tutorial covers a lot and really helped me out. Thanks for that
Thanks for the tutorial. A good tip for zooming in and out is ALT mouse scroll wheel. You don't need to fill a shape to make it a clipping mask - the clipping shape doesn't need a fill or a stroke. I can't get the stripy fills to work either.
Almost 3 years later and this video is gold for learning, enjoyed much !!! Learned a lot of stuff, I can do a decent logo. For watchers, put the speed to 1.5 and still you'll be able to enjoy the video (in case you feel like it's a long video).
Your tutorial is the most comprehensive one I've ever watched! You are such a great teacher! I do treasure the guidance you provide. Liked and subscribed! (Best regards from Indonesia)
got an order and I didn't knew how to make logos and then watched this video and learned illustrator and made it for client in less then 5 hours , So Thank you Envato Tuts+
Slam...Much respect for your work...Mashallah Your speaking and teaching style worth alot... Thanks for sharing this...May god bless you in this world and hereafter. جزاک اللہ خیرا کثیرا فی الدنیا و فی الآخرہ

You are an amazing teacher.... If anyone learn this only , he can run a family.. i will definitely recommend this channel to everyone.. it is not only helpful it will make anyone master in AI
Thanks for landing me smoothly into illustrator and making me feel ready to use it. I'm corel user, i wanna move to illustrator for some reason. Thank YOU!
This is the best Illustrator tutorial on RU-vid... I've been looking for something like this for months!!! Thank you so much for sharing, and please keep on sharing videos like this one!
Oh my Gosh ... this youtube and well done tutorials ... I can have my Groundhog Day just watching all these and acquire all these skills without paying for expensive courses, going far places, etc. etc. ... I am sharing you, dude! A job well done! :-)
That was honestly the best video in terms of Illustrator I have ever watched! Made it a lot easier for me to understand certain techniques and tools. Thank you so much!
At 1:00:55 you needed to just keep one of the horizontal edges and one of the vertical edges instead of deleting all 4. Deleting all 4 mean't you were tesselating too much space and that's why you ended up with the weird pattern still. You can always check if it will turn out right by copying the shape and placing it next to the original, then you can see if anything funky is going on :)
First time I learn about how to work with Adobe illustraitor using this tutorial.this video make me to easy learn them.thank you.and i subscribed you...😙❤
Complete introduction of all essential tools of illustrator in just 50 initial minutes and well explanation of tricky way of logo designing in rest of time. Effective way of teaching. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Dude, 01:27:00! He released the secrets. That makes your business 10x more professional. That final package with multiple colors, formats, resolutions. Great tutorial, learnt so much. I've used Photoshop for logo design for a long time, and have now realised the error of my ways. Definitely switching to Illustrator. Speaking of... I actually have a logo to design right now!
U really helped me I'm new to Ai and graphics designing, started 4weeks ago, never knew the use of 19 tools in the tool bar But now I do, thanks so much This has made Ai and designing more interesting for me to use Although I'm still having a lot of challenges since am a beginner But I'll never stop trying Thanks🥰😘
But he did a good job telling what we don't know... I'm going on the internet for funny videos but some random women keep popping on the left top of the screen, telling us what we already know.. that is not ok.
Outstanding tutorial. He got amazing teaching skills. At the start, I wasn't able to use illustrator but now I am able to design such a good logo. All the credit goes to this guy. Love you, bro. Keep it up. huge love and support from me and my team.
I'm a beginner and started with this video, this is great tutorial and you are greatly explainer, teacher. Thank you so much. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️❤️❤️
I think the fastest and easiest way to create a curve on the top of the D was to "smooth" that one corner after expanding it. :) I tried it and it turned out perfect.
Great tutorial! One quick question... for the top corners on the final logo - your techniques are good methods but why wouldn't you just use the live corner radius tools built in to Illustrator?
Can't love you enough for this.. as I start earning some money, I wanna become a patron. Edit:: kindly make similar videos for Adobe XD, & InDesign & Figma please.
