Professional Logo Design - Adobe Illustrator cs6 (ARTMAG) Video Lecture | How to Design a Logo in Adobe Illustrator: For Beginners and Beyond

hey guys welcome back to on the very
exciting tutorial of creating process
and in today's video we are back with
our logo design and this logo represents
two key features in the upper portion
you can see there is a hand holding up
answer so that should present some
creative ideas and in the law you can
see there's a small piece of like a
magnet so that present attraction so
overall this logo can be used in
creative field as well as an educational
field so to design logo we follow three
steps first we create the rounded corner
square using our rounded rectangle tool
second we create the hand that is
holding a pencil with our very basic
simple steps and third and finally we
create that magnetic portion so to
design a logo that's beginner tutorial
so let's take the raw rectangles rounded
rectangle tool left-click your mouse
button and here you can see the a pallet
here rounded rectangle pallet and he in
this keep the width around hundred by
where height around one hundred and keep
it logged and here we will keep this
around forty points and click OK so you
got a nice rounded square now the second
thing will create one more step so just
click one more and here keep the high
keep it one hundred by hundred and here
we'll change this to 30 now you got two
squares so this one is 40 points round
corner and this one in 30 point around
corner so this one will be using this
inside T all the ones so we'll keep it
in the center like that intersecting the
center so and let's change the color
it's to white like that so after that we
will just scale it down a little bit and
we'll duplicate this like this and place
it below this in such a way that the
thickness is overlapped like that now we
will duplicate this one and place it
there and choose color to something else
so
we can walk out on with our hand so
creating this hand using this rounded
corner square so it's less zoom it in
and now take a rectangle tool and from
this click with the alt pressed and just
click and drag your mouse and you can
see you got a nice balanced rectangle
here we'll just make it like this much
length this is good now once you get
that we can see we will just check out
how much thickness that we want our
pension to be though
so this is our pencil thickness like
that so now the next thing is we'll use
the line segment tool and from here from
the center with the old press just click
and drag and with shift you can make it
aligned with shift pressed like this
make it a little bit longer and let's
change the stroke color to white like
that and let's increase the thickness to
around five and let's duplicate this
with all press just click and drag and
place it in equal balance the gap
between the two should be equals in the
same way we'll duplicate one more and
place it there like that so we got that
now we'll select all the line segments
and go to object and expand it so the
reason why we expanding is because we
need this an object form so that we can
subtract it from the this design which
is lower now we'll click OK and it's all
in object form now now we've to get this
Center one control C at least in front
ctrl F and with the ship press just
rotate it when 90 degree angle now place
this in such a way that these lines the
this line is coinciding to each other
like this bring it there and you can see
the align to each other in the same way
duplicated one more and bring it
on the other side like that now once we
have got that we'll do one more
duplicate this ctrl c ctrl F scale it
down with the oil press just get it all
lit up and bring it here and just tilt
it to and 90 degree angle now place it
here see them like that now once we have
done all of this will select with first
select this pencils rectangle and this
one and just combine it so woodrue
Pathfinder and just no - so that this
will be one object now we'll select all
of them and deselect that lower object
now we have selected only these white
pieces which have created now and just
guru shape builder and we'll do some
little adjustments so we'll see which
part we need to remove so we'll just
click on those parts so it's like this
deplete will remove this we need to
remove this portion we need to remove
this we need to remove this this test so
these all three will be removed and
let's see what else we need we need to
remove this here we click all that so
that's all now let's check out we'll
just select that first select all the
pieces and ungroup it and I believe this
you can delete this so we can see that
delete this you can delete this this so
here we go we got that now select all
these like this combine it and from here
select everything and substracted so we
got that now last thing we'll the pen
tool we'll just add one anchor point
here before that just select that object
and we depend - just in the center just
click one end for point
and with the direct selection tool to
select this point and just push it up so
that it forms like a pencil and point
and now once you get that you can see we
got the pencil and hand everything now
we'll just bring it there properly and
delete the low one and this one fill it
with white color now one thing will add
some hand part here so when the user
tangle from there from the Central Java
with the old press just make it big and
now select this does combine it so you
got a nice hand effect now last thing
we'll select is this combined it and
we'll do one more step you from this
central which with the line segment we
draw lines I'm going with all print and
shift like this so draw the line segment
like this and go to object but and
divide object below and this will divide
the whole object so we'll delete this
and we're left with this so subtract it
from the mean so everything is
subtracted now we need one division here
so from this point with the ship red
just drag out and make one and check
part and just divide object pillows so
we've got the division here so select
these these pieces and fill up with this
gray color with article just like that
great color and nice to select and this
is the color which means now once we
have got everything we'll just kill this
up a little bit like that
now finally we are left with our text so
that's out of the decks with the T
pressed we can type out our alphabets
that's a re art Mac art Mac and the font
which we are using is where I Pro which
you can see I've already written over
there and we'll be working with the
character palette and here the distance
between two of it we are giving around
1500 points and you can increase the
size of the characters that's the half
of it and here we will do one more stuff
we'll select these and change the font
thickness to bold and after that it's
done now select this with the article so
like this color make it a little grey
and place it properly
in their positions and just give it up a
little bit like that finally we added
the text and we have completed designing
the logo I hope you enjoyed tutorial
