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

hey guys welcome to the exciting
tutorial of creating process in today's
video we'll design this logo and if you
look at this logo there is a formation
of letter A and this design comprises of
eight strips of color and if we
carefully look at this the whole
composition is forming a circle and
after that there is some modification
here and you can see that so we'll
design this logo using a very very basic
steps so let's begin with the tutorial
so to design this well first take our
ellipse so we'll use the ellipse tool
and draw out a circle we will remove the
fill color and fill the stroke colors
and after that we'll give some thickness
to the ellipse so we increase the stroke
thickness here so just increase it okay
okay and after that the next thing is
will create one more lips with certain
thickness but of different colors so
that we can distinguish between the
previous and the earlier one and draw D
and thickness to be around one and draw
the circle when you've done that the
next thing is we have to please this
here in which this corner should be
touching the edge of this circle so just
drag in and place it there carefully
okay we can increase the diameter here
the overall radius of the circle now the
next thing the next thing is we need
only this part we don't need these
portions so we'll delete that with the
direction to select these what Isis
delete it out our next step is to please
the anchor point to the center of this
circle and to find the center of the
circle with first select this and here
is the center of the circle so we'll use
the ruler tool to place the circle
so Center so just go in and place it
there in the same way select again from
here also they sit there so here's our
center of the circle so just select this
portion select the rotate tool and place
the anchor point here and after that we
know that we need eight strips so this
face of this circle is going to be
divided into eight pieces so there is
360 degree so if we divide it by 8 you
get 45 degree each so if we rotate this
to 45 degree angle like this placing the
anchor point here and just rotate it by
clicking lis alt to 45 degree
approximate is 45
what fight
after that when you have done the
45-degree angle after that was just
duplicated or seven times two three four
five six seven and just see whether
there is extra no exact so we have drawn
eight pieces of this curves one two
three four five that will divide the
lower surface of the circle into eight
pieces so we can delete this ruler now
the next thing is we will convert the
lower surface into object form so go to
object expand this will expand into
object form and here we go we got the
object now the next thing
select all the pieces except the lower
one go to object but and join so this
will join all the piece curves which we
have drawn as so after this we need to
do some little bit of Corrections here
you can see that these pieces are going
this that piece is going inside our
circle so we don't need that so we
remove that by adding some anchor points
here with the pen tool
just add some anchor point at the first
select EP selected curves now using the
pen tool add the anchor points to their
centers here the empty piece here and
after that using this direct selection
tool select the anchor point and just
move it outside
do the same for all the two other pieces
and after that once we have done that we
can now select the go hole it will be
one object go to object path and divide
object below so this process will divide
the our circle the surface circle into
eight pieces we need to just ungroup it
and after that every piece is different
now the next step is to fill the color
so select the piece with that extraction
tool with the I because select the color
do this for all the other pieces just
select and with the I picker fill the
colour
V for selection I for color
we for selection and I father cut so we
got the color here we got our oval our
circle now we need to form this shape so
together shape we'll use one of the
important tools of Illustrator just
group this first up control G and go to
object and well up distort make with
wrap and here we have different types of
wrapping here so we have arc we have our
covers so what we'll be using here is we
will be using this only simple arc and
we'll be modifying here using these
various tools just dragging here and
there just pushing the edges and you can
see that it's forming the shape which we
are looking for so you can make lots of
things from there and after
once you've done you can click the ok'
button and go to object expand it so
that you can get the object form now
place it there now with the text will
write the text alpha at alpha you can
increase the thickness of the the
thickness of the alpha the text by going
to the stroke and selecting the
thickness here you can increase or
decrease it so just in case if your text
doesn't have the ability to getting bold
you can use this trick by filling these
strokes so you can increase the
thickness of the stroke and your text
will be more thicker than earlier one so
you can use that now we'll fill it with
the same color you can just select like
that
or you can go in here and select the
color from here so it's
dark red and after that just scale it
down and please sit at the place where
we play one to please it here or offer
bread he should be capital shift a like
a bigger I am far and just get it down a
little bit
place it properly and
we have finished our logo hope you
