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

hey guys welcome to another exciting
tutorial of creation process and damps
back with our new design of a logo so
let's begin with the tutorial we will
use lips tool and make a circle now we
will add some few anchor points to the
circle so to do that we'll add Anchor
Point tool use it and click over the
curves so you will make will add two
anchor points over it now with the die
selection tool we will tweak this anchor
point so let's do it so the reason why
we are tweaking is we are modifying this
circle into something else something
totally new so if you want to make
something new you have to tweak the
basic shapes into something else and you
get it so I'm doing the same so we'll
take this and make sure that every face
is smooth we need a smooth surface
endings so it should be done very
carefully
so there is a Dyson Shinto that is very
easy you can easily actually select the
handles and just extend the curves so do
it until you find that everything is
smooth and up-to-date so here you've got
some kind of change in shape you have to
change it you have to tweak it and if
here you see there is a curve we don't
need that we need a sharp point here so
with the convert Anchor Point tool we
will edit the stuff we will just make
sure this curve is smooth and after that
we will just break this
now now with the die extension - we can
easily pick this so once you have overly
overall done that you will see that
everything is go the next step is
duplicate this ctrl c ctrl F and paste
it in the front then scale it down to
smaller one once you've done that please
it over it change its color to white and
let's do some tweaking with the die
selection tool let's bring this anchor
point here and start clicking we don't
need this point here so to remove that
go to home pen tool and we will choose
delete Anchor Point tool and just remove
this point now with the dissection to
tweak it
select the point select the handle and
tweak here the angles make it more code
it should flow with the direction of the
shape which is below so do it and after
that we will do three and see we should
have to do everything smooth we have to
convert this whole stuff
so everything should be every this the
curve which you see should be followed
to these outer boundaries so and the
thickness should be maintained so we
have to be very careful why doing this
so do it good slowly but you have to be
perfect so do it slowly now once you got
that shape we will select both of them
go to bot finder and substracted you get
this simple shape here the next step is
going to change the shape in the totally
different way so we would we first
select the object and before that add
some stroke so don't forget to arm you
put some stroke to the surface so we
will add some a gray color here now
after that select the object go to
effect 3d extrude and bevel so here you
will take this preview option we will
rotate this stuff to something that's
much angle or the way you wish now
increase the perspective to almost very
high level so that you can see some
dynamic change in the object dynamic
view now carefully rotate this 3d view
here and you can see the changes in your
left side so do the changes and see
whether you like it whether it's the way
you want keep on rotating
and find the view which is more
appealing so once you find that before
that just if you feel that the depth is
very small you can increase it from here
just increase the depth to around maybe
8 D which is more like good and tweak
the angle a little bit more and if you
are done with that click ok so you found
made a 3d object using the 3d tool in in
which you have used extrude and bevel so
after that there is hole more stuff
which you have to do so so that so we
have to convert this object into a
shapes so we go to object expand
appearance so here you got the shape we
will go and ungroup it for two times and
we've got everything separately and
select stuff and combined it for
pathfinder and combined it in the same
ways like this one combine it now let's
apply some grating color here so change
the grading color to this one or maybe a
little bit of white earnest
and this one may be white and let's add
some okay the way you wish so I think
white is good this one let's turn this
little bit more of pinkish here the same
way we'll select this option with the
eye picker too we will apply the same
gradient here and just apply it here you
need to have darker and lighter portion
or maybe here lighter or there darker so
in this way are you can do it you can
even change the color if you don't like
it make it
the way you want tweak the colors and
here
like this one she applied agreed
properly
after that we will change this apply
some reason all over this office - so
we'll select this one and apply read
select this one and apply read and
change its darkness increase it with
darkness too dark and after that let's
apply the gradient here in the upper
portion will be lighter and low potion
will be darker now after that we will we
got this small portion here which is not
so we will select that apply some light
color of red so that it will show some
reflections or maybe edge so put red and
apply some bright color here with your
than that we will add some detail in
this gradient we'll add one point here
and here
so we will change this color to white
and increase its
change it to a little bit of red color
or maybe little bit of orange color and
just move this to some distance here so
that it will look like there's a strip
of light over that portion when you look
it from distance you find that there's
some kind if you feel that it's very
shiny you can just go under and reduce
its brightness so after that you got it
now we'll add some we need to edit here
this is find off its incomplete so we
will just select this with the direct
selection tool we can click it but to
tweak that we need the handles so with
the convert Anchor Point tool we will
create the handle here and just extend
it to here do the same thing here we
will create the handle here and just
extend this handle now with the dilation
- you can easily add a desktop with more
feeling way
so do it
give some cool nice finishing here so
when you are no
happy with the finishing you got to add
few shadow effects so we'll create some
shadow for that will go to ellipse tool
make a small ellipse here change its
color to maybe black go to effect blur
Gaussian blur and increases darkness and
preview it you reduce it a little bit
more and click OK so after that we will
select that arrange it to back and just
move it upward and this much now reduce
its opacity by going to a transparency
and put it into a 50% now duplicate this
control C control app and scale it down
smaller and increase its opacity to 80%
and place it below it probably find some
depth here if you don't gather you just
place it properly and you see the depth
here
so to that if you want to add some
reflections select this object or maybe
only the upper portions without leaving
the shadows ctrl C or maybe ctrl G to
group it and control C and controller
paste it in the front it's grow now
we'll go to this reflect tool double
click on it copy it and just lower it
down
and after that we will
creator make a rectangle over it
just to create a sheriff action of the
logo I have already created in the
previous law tutorials but may just make
it clear one more time so just go to
transform the meat mask select this
object apply the gradient change its
color to maybe gray and this one totally
black and with the gradient tool you can
decide from which angle you want your
action to be visible so once you get
that you are done with that and now when
the transparency will select the object
object arrange send to back and after
you've done we will just please sit
below quite near and you can now scale
it up and see the logo and you can add
your text here here anywhere like you
can a revolve Evie oh the evolve and you
can change its color to maybe the color
which matches your logo
and changes
oh maybe ten
put it where it won't fit it with so
this is how you can make a nice
professional logo from basic shape using
the 3d and extrude and bevel objects
hope you enjoy the tutorial thank you
very much
