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

hey guys welcome back to another very
exciting tutorial of creation process
and Ezra will be designing this logo and
it's a good escoba there is a
perspective view and you can see there
is a refraction and some dark portion
which is looking like a mat of surface
and due to this effect this logos
looking like a three-dimensional object
now in the middle you can see there is a
grid of yellow color and above it we
have edits number fractions and overall
the logo is talking like a glossy effect
so to create this logo we will follow
only four steps first we'll create a
basic structure of the logo using the 3d
ox extrude and bevel option second we
will create the inner portion here which
includes our grid and some few layers
here third we will create this metal
effect by using the cretan options
fourth and final we will give some
touch-up like adding these fractions and
the text so let's begin made a tutorial
to our video tutorial we'll use the
rectangle tool and left-click your mouse
button and over here keep the earth
around 70 and with height around 70 and
click OK now click one more time before
that just fill this with some color
basic color some solid color like black
now click one more time and create one
more rectangle
this time we'll give hide around 50 and
weight around 200 and click the ok'
button now click this and just make sure
their centers are we letting each other
not with the direct selection tool here
you can see select these two points and
just shift this points to the left side
like by pressing the shift and with the
arrows now once we have Tunde we'll
select this and just place it there
overlapping the intersection points now
select both the object go to pathfinder
and just combine it in this way we got
on one object here now one thing we need
to notice here is we need to fill this
with some grading color before going to
the effect and 3d object so just let's
fill it some gradient color this will I
select some grading darker here like
this
explaining why
we have added some grading colors later
so select this object go to effect 3d
extrude and bevel now here's the option
we got select is fill it at 0 0 0 and
this one full of 160 this one
that's the okay this one leave it now
here is the reason why we have added
some critically if you see here you can
see that gradient will be rasterized
that means if we do the wireframe and
preview it you can see you can see the
wireframe as well as decreed in color
that means if you use the green color
you can view the color as well as the
wireframe and instead of our gradient
color if you use the solid color then
the color will not be visible in terms
of wireframe overall and the plastic
sheets you can see the colors but in
wireframe you cannot see D solid color
so it's very important to use the
gradient color before going to the 3d
extreme level options so make sure that
and click OK now now after that go to
object expand appearance go to object
expand and ungroup it twice now you can
select and just separate these things
you can see this is separate these
things are separate so now one we have
created the basic structure of a logo
you can see it's the basic structure we
will go and create this inner portion to
go and create tab we'll go and zoom in
there so select this object now and make
this into object foam so go to object
expand it once release clipping mask and
select again go to object expand it to
form or and then just you can see there
you can see the object I think this one
you can fill it with some color like
some solid color if it's possible yeah
you can delete this portion now this is
the object now once you've done that I
will get that we can delete this this is
the object we need now let's begin so
now duplicate this control C control app
to piece it in the front and fit with
some stroke color and raise the
thickness around three and make sure
it's doubled
yeah it's double now go to the object
expand it and click the ok' button and
go to pathfinder and just subtract it
and fill this with some certain color
like with raptor I'm taking this
randomly like this now to take it one
more time control C control f and fill
it with some stroke color again and this
time we keep the stroke point to one and
would object expand it go to pathfinder
and subtract it the same way let's fill
this with some certain different color
like this now again the control C
control app fill it with some stroke
color this time let's keep this around 3
and object expand object expand it
subtract it so in this way we have
created few stuff let's fill this with
some certain different color so that we
can differentiate the layers we have
created now you can see we have created
one two three three layers and this
enter one is for the great ones so let's
fill this with color like this color
we need that color let's pick this up
with article now next thing is we need
to create as great options so place this
aside and we'll create the grid so to
create the grid we need some largest
space here so we'll we did rectangle
tool just draw out a rectangle square
maybe bigger one and fill this with some
colors like our the article just select
this color this one now go to object
but and split oh great
and here let's see fifty by fifty let's
try and see how it looks at fifty by
fifty and let's see okay that's fine
this look like the same now probate
control G and placated one more time and
they sit properly here and zooming in
and make sure they are on the same row
so just so Maidan and place it there
properly okay now once you done that
group this control G and now bring this
above it so just bring it up here and
arrange to front and make clipping mask
and you can see you have done a clipping
mask here now we can place it this stuff
here where it's position so now once we
have created the inner peace now we now
we can go to create this metallic
surface here so to make that we'll just
bring this in and first to do some few
stops here this one we will fill it with
some stroke color so I'll just release
clipping mask first you go to object
expand it ungroup it now let's see what
it's there okay and even delete this
portion and this we can increase the
stroke here so that's increased and
let's give them stroke color like black
and I think this is good okay and object
expand it and go to the Pathfinder and
combine it so let's keep this one object
this will be on the background
that's on the backside so the next thing
is we need to fill this with some
certain color so let's leave this for a
wireless I now select everything this
portion and fill it with some solid
color like remove the outlines and fill
it with some solid color like some light
grey now duplicate this control C and
paste it in the front control app now go
to the path here you can see stroke fill
it with some stroke color and keep the
stroke around one point now go to object
and expand it the reason why we are
doing is we you need a smaller surface
of each piece above it so that we can
get some refraction fee so let's do that
select individually and see where it
goes okay
corrected go to pathfinder and subtract
it you can see that yeah so like this
one subtracted so select individual part
and just subtract it
so it's important to subtract selecting
each individually and subtracting it
because if we do it in a group it will
not be possible subtracting s means it
should be only to object so there is two
object here so we are subtracting that
now once we have subtracted all the
pieces select every piece and put
article just so 80 covers now once you
have filled that color you got two
layers here you can see now we can play
with the present now that's play so
before that just bring this near here so
that you can see where we need our light
rays to be going there this one video
select this with the G going to just
play with it this one
we need some light brightness here and
see darkness here that's okay
now with the V selection to select the
object with a G again so that it some
brightness here and some darkness here
this way
make sure there's a contrast in the
corners now with the be diet selection
tool object now here's our reflection
brightness and here darkness so we'll do
that with our G brightness to darkness
like that just like that mouse button in
the same way selectees let's see where
it wants we'll do that just play with it
until it's cool we'll add a selection to
select the object with a G brightness to
darkness
direction graded to brightness to
darkness
you
the same way select these pieces all the
rest of them and with the gradient tool
we'll just leave it at it now so like
this this one we are left in you and
from brightness to darkness the same way
brightness to darkness okay
so once we have done all of that we can
check out where we can select the lower
pieces and just do some adjustment here
so that's like this lower pieces with
the gradient tool we need a darkness at
the outside okay and some brightness
three outside and darkness here
selection tool selected G and from
outside to inside
now with expression true just like the
upper portions okay and for the G from
brightness with darkness
so once we have given that now we'll
select this and please head again to the
position you see that it's in the back
side and we'll bring in this will bring
this with these like that sticks bring
this here and fill it with some creating
color do for the article select the
gradient and from and with a gradient to
see that just give some prior to the
effect here like this now
bring this to the center so we have
created the metallic field we have
created the our grid and the inner side
now the last thing we need to do is some
glossy effect here adding the glossy
effect so we'll do that so just just
make something here we'll duplicate this
once
all then drag it out and I'll just
delete this grade one and select
everything Pathfinder and just combined
it and put it with some solid color
duplicate it one more time now with the
rectangle tool from the center I'll just
subtract this portion out and from here
the direct angle to dragged it off
selected subtract it now we got two
pieces here this is for a fractions here
so I'll just place it there properly
just zoom it in and place it properly
over so once you've done that with the
article these is this is the glossy
effect here with the article just just
select our gloss effect and for the
freedom to that's them get the gradient
effect here nicely okay properly so and
that's the go to let's see the
transparency it's colored all if we do
overlay wow it look it's look nice
you can keep that now select this one
and bring it about right there so that
we can give the another refraction
effect so once you have placed that with
the article just selected and with the
gradient tool just adjust the gradient
colors okay
so you can see we have got decorating
effect here now the last thing we need
to do is drag this grid and we'll go to
object
no edit and we'll do some color
correction and I just follow balance
here
we'll go preview it and that's us at
just some colors here let's see how it
looks let's increase the yellow you see
that it helps in enriching the colors
and then quickly okay but so last thing
we need to add the text so we'll do that
plus VL us plus and we'll use the font
digital and in the character will
increase the distance between them
around 2500 let's see okay that's fine
and place it there and we have left
small thing here we'll do that this r1
let's just type out ah and keep it area
okay and let's give it
font and mode and from the here with the
ellipse tool we draw a small circles
above it let's give it some remove
default color and fill it with stroke
thickness increase the thickness
okay this much is fine let's see a
little bit and rasterize and let's just
convert it into object from the object
expand it and once you've done that
group it up ctrl g and place it there
where we need it and scale it down
so we have created the logo which we
needed we about the glossy effect we
have added these grades using the tools
like split into grade options we have
used the extrude and bevel options to
create this structure of this logo and
finally we added attacks so this is how
we have created this logo hope you enjoy
