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

hey guys welcome back to another very
exciting tutorial of greeting process
and we'll be designing this logo and
this logo we have got our nice sphere in
the background and on top we have got a
nice 3d text of alphabet e and it has
got a nice green color and it has an eye
refraction and shadows so we're
designing this logo in three steps first
we'll create this sphere in the
background then we'll create the text
that is the 3d alphabet and then finally
and third we will create deer factions
and shadows and eat eggs so let's begin
with a tutorial we'll start with the
text and type our letter A now scale it
up and we'll choose the appropriate font
so I think this is good we'll use the
regular we're using MLA UI and the font
is regular now we'll give this up a
little bit more change its color to
white so that it is more visible now
after we caught that we'll do one thing
here we'll just give it a little bit
more and now convert us into object form
to convert that we'll go to object and
expand it and this way we got it into
object form now we'll do some
modification here now we'll select the
pen tool and we'll delete a few points
there's this subtract it off from the
object we need we don't need this I
think you will not only be needing this
and this I'll just do some adjustment
with the Anchor Point selection just
click and drag this one just click and
drag fine now select the inner portion
and just check out okay we need some
adjustment here we need to delete few
points more here we'll use this will
delete this portion will delete this
point and this point so
and this also so now with the convert
Anchor Point to selected we'll just make
this little bits inner this one like
this and we'll break these points like
this and now it was like this point and
just track it in the same way this one
same way and this one also now the next
thing we need to do is little bit
adjustment here it's good it's good and
okay now with the direct selection tool
we select we can select each points
individually now let's do that just
maybe like this down a little bit drown
downward dragging it down will just move
a little bit this one okay we'll just
move this little bit this side and we'll
make sure it's not that much expanded
we'll need to follow the curve we'll do
that like this this one's nice this one
a little bit cooler this one we can move
a little bit up and this one a little
bit sideways like this
so we got that
now once you have done that we'll do the
net first half which we have told will
create this fear now with the ellipse
two selected draw the circle and with a
high picker and shift all pressed click
this color we have already prepared a
color palette for our colors for your
opera objects so we will be so using
that and now with the variant option
just adjusted nicely okay now we'll the
gate one more time this sphere then to
see control app and scale it down and
little bit twist twist it to an angle
and place it there now this time we'll
use this color so I picker shift or
pressed selected and you can see in a
query you can see this color is both and
inside it's white but in the one side
it's facet is 0 in the other side is 100
so with using that we'll do some thing
like that you can see it's totally a
blended here and here we got the
highlight now we bring this object on
the top or range to front and scale it
up so we'll bring this off you're going
to talk I'll place it here properly and
scale it up you can scale it a little
more you have to make sure that this
object the sphere is under it and it the
curve should follow it the curve should
be followed so like that so now the next
thing is the selectors go to effect 3d
extrude and bevel and in the way this
option will do some interesting stuff
you can preview it here we can increase
the perspective to firstly around 100
maybe 110 around that now will reduce
the post extrude depth to around 20
maybe or maybe 28 and 27 now we'll play
with the angles so we'll just move and
check it out which angle suits and I'm
doing it with the help of my scroll in
the mouse so I'm just scrolling it and
you can see the movement in the text so
I'm just doing that so I'm just
selecting the angles and with the scroll
in the mouse just rolling it you can see
the movement on each axis so we can do
that this one we need yeah this is good
okay fine we'll do some little angle
like this okay and drip it like that
this one little bit this one like that
fine
and after when you get deep or proper
angle just like the yoga button now with
the selection to just select the object
and go to object and expand appearance
and again expand it so you've got the
object now ungroup it maybe twice or
thrice and so that all the pieces are
separate I think all the pieces are now
separate now you can easily fill the
respective colors but before that we got
to do one step you so select this and
give it some stroke color so we'll
select that and fill it with some white
stroke color okay now we'll give some
thickness and we it has got a one point
so I think this is nice we'll give on
maybe one point you can give the points
around too and we have increase the
thickness of the stroke now we'll do
select the object and go to object and
expand it the reason why we are doing is
we need this stroke to be in the object
home I'm going to fill it some different
color to this so we have got separate
object of the stroke and this is
separate so now it is time for filling
the reading color so we'll do that so
just like all of this and bring it
beside the colors and now we'll select
now select this object
the eye picker and shift alt pressed you
can select the color and we give the
grading tool you can adjust it so we'll
do that before there we'll just select
the fill color and now do the adjustment
here so with the creating color just
move it here wherever you want and scale
you can even scale the highlight
portions like that and here we go so so
we select this object and in the
Pathfinder we'll just combine it to for
me to be one object so select there's
these oceans combined it this one and
this one combined now fill it with
separate color
so with all selected at once with a
shift and alt will post the a picker and
with the shift and alt pressed just
select these colors now with the
gradient color you can independently
select each pieces and edit so we zoom
in and just walk on that so we de
created just play with it so here we
need dark and light over there in the
same way we'll select this the gradient
dark to light like that light to dark
like that to select this and with a
gradient selection we'll just move this
that side and scale it up a little bit
and like that so we need to hear some
dark this and here on some darkness
that's why we're doing that
remove it the side little bit and you
can scale it a little bit along in the
same way we'll select this piece and
with the gradient selected we'll do that
stuff so let's scale this up and just
scale it down if it's huge on like that
so you've got a nice glow here we need
to keep that same way now now the
important step one important step here
we select this piece and this piece and
duplicate it twice ctrl c ctrl F and F
twice ahead than that now I will select
the upper and just with a little bit and
I can scale it up a little bit so that
there is some okay after that we'll
select these two pieces and selecting
the upper and this one because I have to
get it twice so the original one is
behind that so will not affect that go
to D Pathfinder and just intersect and
in a gradient color push this color a
little bit outside so your little darker
effect here you can see we got a top
effect the same way we'll just move this
little bit sideways and I select that
earlier one intersected and with the
greeting card selected just move it a
little bit outside and you get the
darker portion here and that has got a
nicer fraction you can see it has got
nice shadow effect now we'll do this
just like this our stroke which you have
form and that's the object now and we'll
fill it with the with our picker just
all depressed and select this color now
with the gradient selected just move
like this we need to lighter portion
here and dark on the background so we're
doing that and now we'll see that now
you can see it has got a nice effect
here we'll reduce the opacity to around
60 and it will get more effect now we've
got that effect now we are laughing
one more last tab here we select
everything and deselect this sphere and
just duplicated with the odd pressed
track and you duplicate it so we will
select all these pieces and combine it
and fill it with some plain color or
maybe gray color with the article just
selected dark and bring it in the front
bring it here
with the help of control and the square
bracket key on your keyboard you can
move the dark object below the 3d text
region the reason why we made this dark
text is because we need some shadow
effect here so we have created that and
we have put it below the alphabet and
now we'll reduce its opacity to around
60 and we will give some effect here
with the will go to gradient and with
this and we'll do some adjustment so
we'll fill it with black color so fill
it with black and this side also black
and in one side will reduce it opacity
to zero now we'll select this and make
this zero so now we'll keep this linear
make sure it's linear and now we'll just
adjust accreting color so from here we
need the darker on the below and lighter
on the top line like that and you can
see it so you can even reduce a little
bit more if it's highly visible to you
by 50 and place it there below now we
can see that we have created that text
effect we have created the refraction we
have created the shadow and we can move
it little bit find that like that thing
now lasting we are laughs with us to
create the text so we'll use it takes
and type out our stuff here our heo and
Aragon just do some stuff here we'll
give it some font so we are using text
gary adventure text so we'll select that
article 2 selected color I and just give
it up so this is the text we are using
we'll just place it below there and you
can see it keep it there
this one properly so we have completed
our logo in which we have first prepared
despaired and detect by text and the out
of it so this is how we can create these
kinds of logo hope you enjoy tutorial
