1 00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:12,580 All right, welcome back to our lucky last text logo idea that we're going to come up with together. 2 00:00:12,910 --> 00:00:16,870 And the first things first is I'd like to hide the last one we've just done. 3 00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:22,000 We have this green space here with some color and we also have our original green space for our capital 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,480 letters and our different sized fonts here. 5 00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:26,110 So I'm switching both of those off. 6 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,040 I'm going to keep my background on because I love working on a clean background. 7 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:37,240 But for this last one, I really want to play around with the idea of color and using text to show different 8 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,600 colors. 9 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,080 And I'll show you what I mean as we go along together. 10 00:00:40,450 --> 00:00:43,990 But I actually would like to be working with a bigger canvas than this. 11 00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:47,230 We could go file new and add a new canvas if we wanted. 12 00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:52,300 But I'd like to throw in an extra tip here to show you how to change the size of your canvas once you've 13 00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:53,820 already opened a project. 14 00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:56,590 So we're going to come up here to our image. 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,560 And if you come down to canvases, it'll bring up this menu here, bring that across. 16 00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:03,730 And here we go. 17 00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,410 We have our eight by four. 18 00:01:05,410 --> 00:01:06,330 It's close enough here. 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,140 And all we have to do is just add a different number here. 20 00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:12,370 So at the moment, it's eight by four. 21 00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:17,380 I'm going to see what it might look like if we do eight by five and see if that is enough. 22 00:01:17,380 --> 00:01:18,400 Yes or OK. 23 00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:22,300 And you'll see that we have expanded our canvas slightly. 24 00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:24,310 I think that's good enough for now. 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,430 I'm going to stretch this background layer by hitting Command T, just making sure our white covers 26 00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:35,610 the edges doesn't have to be too neat because we'll switch this off before we export any layer. 27 00:01:36,490 --> 00:01:36,910 All right. 28 00:01:36,910 --> 00:01:37,810 So we can zoom in. 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,600 That's just an easy tip for you there. 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,080 If you found that you've opened a project and it's not the right size. 31 00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:50,770 So I'm going to leave these both turned off because I'd like to work with a new imaginary company that 32 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,390 we're going to call Shine. 33 00:01:52,930 --> 00:01:54,850 So let's grab our text here. 34 00:01:54,850 --> 00:02:00,970 We ought to open up a color that is not that is not white. 35 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,290 Let's put it on black and let's type out shine this h. 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:05,890 I am. 37 00:02:08,510 --> 00:02:13,070 Now, remember, that fund is everything, and I already think that looks really cool, but I'd like 38 00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:17,920 to show you a tip today that is going to involve this text actually missing from our image. 39 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:21,140 The first thing I'm going to do is change our background color. 40 00:02:22,030 --> 00:02:27,610 So let's put an overlay here, so if I double click on the space next to that layer, I can bring up 41 00:02:27,610 --> 00:02:34,510 this lifestyle menu and if I hit color overlay, come in here and choose a color that I like. 42 00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:36,790 Now I'm going to choose quite a pale. 43 00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:42,620 A pale yellow, I think, maybe something something like that. 44 00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:50,380 OK, now we're working with a bright color, and you can see already, just by adding a background to 45 00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:54,280 this, we can now associate the font and the color to this brand. 46 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,790 I think it looks really cool, but this is not where I'm stopping today. 47 00:02:57,340 --> 00:03:03,830 I'm going to make this font the exact same color as my background and have it cut out of a circle. 48 00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:09,100 Now, it sounds like a lot of steps, but let me show you, come over here to your shape and grab the 49 00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:17,350 Ellipse tool, and I'm going to hold shift while I drag and bring down a circle shift holds it in the 50 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:19,710 same place so that it's all relative to each other. 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,270 If you weren't holding shift, you might end up with an oval or something like that. 52 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,220 Second, you start holding shift, you get a perfect circle. 53 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,510 So I'm going to hit undo on that one. 54 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,220 And let's work with this circle. 55 00:03:30,220 --> 00:03:35,920 We've just put in double click over here to bring up the color menu and let's make it the same color 56 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,530 as our background and then add maybe one or two shades darker. 57 00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:52,260 I'm going to go there very hard to tell the difference between these two shapes, but that's sort of 58 00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:53,060 what I'm going for. 59 00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:58,740 I'm going to bring my Elipse layer down underneath the shine so that shine sits on top of that. 60 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,200 And I'm going to make my shine layer by hitting Clemente, I'm going to make that take up the whole 61 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,920 width of this circle, can I have it so that the E and the S. 62 00:04:10,830 --> 00:04:14,720 Touch the edges of this circle just like that. 63 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,290 It's helpful because they're quite round letters as well, and they almost fit pretty perfectly with 64 00:04:20,290 --> 00:04:23,260 the sides of this of the circle, so that's really cool. 65 00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:31,180 OK, now my text color, I'm going to make the same color as my background, hiding that completely 66 00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:33,740 from this circle that we have now. 67 00:04:34,030 --> 00:04:35,130 This is so simple. 68 00:04:35,140 --> 00:04:37,060 This is such a simple thing that we've just done. 69 00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:43,320 But we have created a really awesome color palette and the text logo from nothing. 70 00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:45,500 Basically, we did that in just a couple of minutes together. 71 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560 Let's play around with what it looks like to change this font. 72 00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:54,520 Let's take it back to our trusty railway font, which gives us a lot to play around with. 73 00:04:54,530 --> 00:04:58,930 I'm going to make it a really black font, black meaning quite bold. 74 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,360 And I'm going to change the size between my letters here, bringing those closer. 75 00:05:05,140 --> 00:05:08,080 And I'm not super happy with the size of that. 76 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,720 So let's make it a little bit smaller. 77 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,700 Actually, I just changed my mind. 78 00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:18,010 Let's make it a little bigger, let's push it to the edge here. 79 00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:19,750 I really like that. 80 00:05:19,750 --> 00:05:21,060 I think that looks really strong. 81 00:05:22,570 --> 00:05:25,780 If you're not happy with the colors of these, you can always tweak them. 82 00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:33,640 If we want to make this more of a yellowy yellow rather than a pastel bring that maybe maybe up to their. 83 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,260 I think that's very bold. 84 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:40,920 I like that. 85 00:05:40,970 --> 00:05:42,730 Let's make our text font match it. 86 00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:44,730 So come up here, change the color of your text. 87 00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:46,850 Just use the eyedropper tool as the background. 88 00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:49,750 And now our circle looks pretty, pretty brown and gray. 89 00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:55,010 So let's make it just slightly, slightly darker or lighter, if you want. 90 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,760 And the the text that we are using. 91 00:06:00,370 --> 00:06:02,510 Quite like what it looks like when it's a little bit lighter. 92 00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:09,710 Let's stick with the original plan and have it just slightly darker. 93 00:06:10,190 --> 00:06:14,900 Let me go and tweak this until you're happy with the size. 94 00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:16,760 I need a little more of that. 95 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Yes, there we go. 96 00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:25,000 All right, so let's say this is a picture here, we're going to go file say this, let's call it the 97 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,750 Shine logo so we can find that on our desktop in just a little bit. 98 00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:30,500 We don't have to worry about saving. 99 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,100 This is a PG because our background is not transparent. 100 00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:35,320 So it doesn't matter if it's a JPEG or a PG. 101 00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:37,930 I am just going to keep it as a PG, though, for now. 102 00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:39,820 Hit, save and OK. 103 00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:45,270 And let's come over into our mockup where we have our last green space logo there. 104 00:06:45,310 --> 00:06:46,270 Let's turn that off. 105 00:06:46,810 --> 00:06:50,980 So we have this blank thing here and let's find our Shine logo somewhere. 106 00:06:50,980 --> 00:06:52,060 Wherever you've saved that. 107 00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:55,780 I've just brought mine across here and I'm going to let that fall into the middle here. 108 00:06:58,450 --> 00:07:02,240 Let's line that up with our business card here. 109 00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:09,190 I'd like to show you an easy way to have this snap to the border of our business card. 110 00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:10,630 So switch it off for now. 111 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,190 We can come back to it in a moment and we are going to draw a box. 112 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:22,480 A rectangle here around the size of our business card does not have to be exact, but something a little 113 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:30,010 bit close going to reduce the opacity so that I can see through it so that I can tell when it is lined 114 00:07:30,010 --> 00:07:30,280 up. 115 00:07:30,370 --> 00:07:37,090 I'm using my kit move and I'm using my arrow tools just to nudge that so that it's on top of the business 116 00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:37,440 card. 117 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:46,090 Looks like it could be just a little bit longer going to hit shift while I transform that so that it 118 00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:47,250 snaps to that size. 119 00:07:47,290 --> 00:07:48,760 Then we go, all right. 120 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,470 And this is going to be what we use as a clipping mask. 121 00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:55,900 Why switch this Shine logo back on here? 122 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,040 And I right. 123 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Click on the Shine logo layer and click create clipping mask. 124 00:08:01,390 --> 00:08:05,320 It's going to only show up where the layer below it is. 125 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,330 And we know that we just made that rectangle. 126 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:08,760 Let's make it a little bit brighter. 127 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,490 We know that we made that the same time. 128 00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:11,680 It sizes our business card. 129 00:08:11,690 --> 00:08:18,880 So shiny logo on create clipping mask and it's going to snap exactly to the layer below it, which we 130 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,430 need to bring up our opacity so that that shine is written right there. 131 00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:24,970 This is a live layer. 132 00:08:24,970 --> 00:08:25,990 We can move this around. 133 00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:30,340 You'll see some of the black will show up if it's not quite lined up, but it's not showing up over 134 00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:32,620 here anymore because our rectangle doesn't go that far. 135 00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:35,920 So it's a really cool way of adding something to a page. 136 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,260 If we want to come back and we have a big picture and we want to put it here instead of instead of this 137 00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:43,330 one or we have to do is swap out the clipping mask. 138 00:08:43,330 --> 00:08:44,940 So there's a really great tip for you there. 139 00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:48,850 So let's zoom out and let's have a little look at what our Shine business card looks like. 140 00:08:49,420 --> 00:08:50,860 I think this looks so strong. 141 00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:53,860 I think this is a really awesome way of showing a logo. 142 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,860 Is having that text be removed from an item just like we did here in this circle. 143 00:09:00,250 --> 00:09:06,610 So there is our third text logo together using color, using shape, using different fonts. 144 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:11,650 And we have created some really cool, strong ideas of logos here. 145 00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:13,570 So show me what you've made below. 146 00:09:13,690 --> 00:09:17,980 I've attached these mock up files in the projects files folder for you. 147 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,710 So all you have to do is just simply create yourself a clipping mask, throw it in, let me see what 148 00:09:23,710 --> 00:09:26,560 you've made and I can't wait to hear how you went.
