Design a Gradient Logo Illustrator Tutorial

[@josephineconcepcion2704]

Finally, a teacher that speaks with passion, the right tone, and speed over the steps by step instructions. Thank you so much.

[@joshuawaguespack7758]

After you have the shape in 3 sections from expanding, you can simply select the group > right click > ungroup. This will cut down on your need to cut and past in place (shortcuts: ctrl+x and ctrl+f). Also when you're using the path/pen tool, you can simply hit escape on the keyboard to deselect.

very helpful :)

[@ReapRReal]

ty :D

[@tmmrc]

I know this isn't related at all but you have a very soothing voice.

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks Tom - still very much appreciated :)

Hi Dansky. Nice, well structured tutorial. But, what annoys me slightly that you are doing a lot of stuff "by eye". Maybe I am too used to CAD software. But is there a way in illustrator to make that line as a strict continuation of the original line at 4:50. And then the second line to be strictly parallel to the first line at 5:00. I tried something similar in illustrator and just simply couldn't find a way. It just amazed me that this kind of simple and obvious functionality (if you come from CAD background) of smart guides is not present in the leading vector illustration software.

[@hmm809]

@@AidarAmrekulov I think you could copy the lines of the shape and adjust them.

[@Chris-lg1do]

Yeah, one of the reasons why I fully watch his videos :)

[@jamesinglis6616]

If you're having an issue with the minus front part, try holding alt when you click on the minus front button in the pathfinder tools.

[@heck75nj]

man..I spent like an hour trying to figure this one out ...that did the trick...thanks!

[@Just_Foootball]

mee too! (but in this case 3 hours

Gradients in Illustrator always vexed me, until today that is. Many thanks for the tutorial, I will most definitely be using these techniques in the future!

[@ForeverDansky]

Awesome Jack, that's great to hear! 😀

[@myadix]

you're not alone my friend, coloring in AI is a nightmer for me,

[@denisee7028]

Mind blown on using the pathfinder tool. Gah-- that wouldve saved me a ton of work with my last logo getting the white to go away. Thank you for the amazing tutorials. Ive been learning so much!!

[@ForeverDansky]

You're welcome Denise! Awesome to hear that the videos are helpful :)

[@MisbahSaleem]

[@flyawaytraveltours430]

I am new to Ai and just subscribed to your channel to learn more. Your method of teaching with the video is awesome...love it.

[@k.5685]

Very lit tutorial, took a while for me because I was adding a lot of tweaks of mine to it (which did not work out too well for me) but eventually I nailed it.

[@ForeverDansky]

BOOM! That's awesome to hear Olaoba :)

[@lanzedelacruz1432]

Ask about paint bucket why i cannot use live paint?? really need explanation

[@uTsi0_0]

I also had problem with live paint bucket tool. Make sure that the curves you create using the pen tool are properly attached to the edges by clicking on the anchor points before using the deselect option. After that you will be able to see those shapes seperated in the outline view (ctrl + Y).

[@keikoalloui4090]

Great tutorial Dansky! Good music (not too loud and not to low - Just perfect). Beside your skills, your voiceover is the best I heard on similar tutorials. Not sure who gave it a thumb down and not sure why. Again, Fantastic Tut! Your videos are very helpfulI just subscribed!

[@omnitrixazura]

Its like private course...

[@zoeksnarf7]

Great work Dansky! The narrating succinctly covers all the salient points, thank you!

[@vysion572]

[@smritiagarwal8005]

just loved it ....thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@mdnizam8219]

What an eye-catching logo!

[@puteriamirah165]

his voice is a pleasure to hear

[@oakpark8555]

Really like your explanations of why we do certain things. I know not everyone has this feature, but I would like to see you explain the cs6 gradient editor bar. I do appreciate that you are showing us the older ways of doing gradients. Simpler is often better. I use CS6 and understand that people want to use older versions.

[@tunahmad6528]

your explanation is very good,, very easy to understand

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks Tun!

[@AzwanGP]

WHAT A EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! i learn a lot of new tricks!

[@pavelasafov]

Thank you, Dansky! You very great designer!

[@Kandufilms]

LOVED THIS TUTORIAL!! ahhh i started messing around in illustrator and these types of tutorials teach me how to use illustrator lol thanks Dansky! i'm subscribing now lol

[@vidhaansood4300]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, took a bit of time because of the rainbow swatches, but I loved it.

[@sfmikica]

Maybe it's because it's older version of Illustrator (CS5), but Pathfinder/Unite is not working in Stylize/Round Corner Effect. I don't know. Solution: For the black triangle first do Make Compound Shape, then Expand

[@jiwongeum9660]

You're a genius. Thanks!

[@joaog.447]

Mike Stankovich Why do we have to "expand"? What is it for exactly??

[@SkyHeel]

It reverts the compound path back into a singular vector path.

[@ArkanaGG]

you saved my life

[@aidannesbitt9479]

How do you make it into a compound shape? Thanks

[@iammolham7096]

.You can save swatches directly by illustrator, it would be easier than copying the whole thing. Great tutorial, thanks

[@nafhellas75]

thank you sir ,very good tutorial .i made my first logo to illustrator .

[@finabibi]

thank you so much for this tutorial Dansky! I learned so much more about Illustrator from this. Very nicely put together and easy to follow.

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks!

[@MrNejichan]

Nice toturial for beginer like me. Thank you

[@Turan_U.]

Now this tutorial is really good.

[@brittiebrittie123]

how to do you turn on the little dots at anchor points? they're like additional guides or something - for instance look at 6:45, when the black triangle is created - there are little dot/guides at each point. i looked in smart guide preferences but can't seem to figure out how to get those guides. thanks!

[@esraanaeem6359]

your voice is a blessing .. thank you so much it helped a lot

[@hugosantiago9134]

Why are your logos so beautiful and the ones you print on your sweatshirts are so simple?

[@TanvirAhmed-tc3fu]

Thank You so much for your tutorial video!!

[@prothomasikder7520]

its very nice logo Dansky.

[@rafikikiki]

Perhaps CC has updated some of its tools since this video was made. Using the "Unite" Function gave me totally different results despite following the video step by step beforehand. I needed to use the "Exclude" pathfinder tool to achieve the same effect. Perhaps it is worth updating or something seeing as this is among the first videos that are shown when you search "Adobe Illustrator Tutorial". Edit: Several things in this video are outdated

[@bikerboyankush]

Yes.. but with some tweaking with new tools , we can achieve the same results.. Dansky is a good instructor.

[@yurihsp]

Beautiful!

[@alifiansuryoradityo8480]
