1 00:00:06,050 --> 00:00:11,440 OK, so let's jump straight in together and planning out emblem or our stamp logo, whichever you'd 2 00:00:11,450 --> 00:00:16,520 like to call it, let's open up a brand new canvas together so that we can get started. 3 00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:21,110 So I'm coming over, create new and I think I'm going to make this quite square. 4 00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:24,050 So I feel like this 10 by 10 template could work. 5 00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:30,440 Otherwise you could come over here, press inches and maybe we could do an eight inch by eight inch 6 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,910 template and keeping 100 pixels a centimeter is fine by me. 7 00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:37,370 And we can go ahead and press create. 8 00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:45,530 So here we are with our blank canvas now, because this is going to be a stamp and it's going to be 9 00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:46,700 a circle shape. 10 00:00:46,970 --> 00:00:52,430 I definitely want to make sure that everything is centered at any time that we're adding things to this 11 00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:52,990 circle. 12 00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:55,850 We want to make sure that it's all lined up really easily. 13 00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:59,870 And the best way to do that is by adding rulers. 14 00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:05,390 So if you cannot see this bar along the top and the side here with the ruler marks on it, you can press 15 00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:10,250 command are to bring that up by getting the rules that way. 16 00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:16,190 And then all you have to do is just hover over it, press down or click down and you'll see a ruler 17 00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:22,580 comes down and it will snap itself to the center of our canvas and you can release it leaves that bright 18 00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:23,330 green line there. 19 00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:26,150 And then I'm going to bring one from the other side as well. 20 00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:31,070 And having that cross in the center so that it gives us the exact center of our canvas. 21 00:01:31,070 --> 00:01:33,290 See how that snaps that to the middle. 22 00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:36,990 And that should give us our exact center of the canvas. 23 00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:41,620 So now when we're working with the circles, we have our text layers going on a little bit later. 24 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,470 We always know that everything's going to be lined up using these guides. 25 00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:45,790 So. 26 00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:46,820 So that's done. 27 00:01:46,820 --> 00:01:48,010 That first step there. 28 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:50,960 I'm going to work with a white background. 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,520 So I'm fine that that is white, even though when we're exporting, I'm going to leave it blank. 30 00:01:55,820 --> 00:02:00,410 But I like to work on a white background so that I can see everything clearly and I know exactly what 31 00:02:00,410 --> 00:02:01,160 I'm looking at. 32 00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:07,440 So I'm going to bring in a circle straightaway, so come over here to this square, the shape icon, 33 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,820 and if you click and hold down on that, we will go to the Ellipse tool, which is going to give us 34 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:12,840 our circle shape. 35 00:02:13,590 --> 00:02:15,930 I'm going to pick a color from this spot right here. 36 00:02:16,050 --> 00:02:21,150 But you could also do that from the top if you wanted to bring up our color picker tool here. 37 00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:26,260 And we're going to make ours quite a pale pink color. 38 00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:28,550 This can all be changed a little bit down the line. 39 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,880 So if you pick something and you're not super thrilled with it, don't stress because we can come back 40 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,000 at any time and make these changes. 41 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,530 I like that color there, I think that's lovely. 42 00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:45,500 Now, I could go ahead and just try and draw this at any any random angle here and try and get that 43 00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:48,680 exactly scented and then try and move it around. 44 00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:51,110 But that's going to take a lot of hassle. 45 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,810 So what I'm actually going to do is start at the very center here, right on across, and I'm going 46 00:02:56,810 --> 00:03:00,140 to click and drag that into this bottom quadrant here. 47 00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:03,470 I'm going to hold shift so that it stays a perfect circle. 48 00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:10,070 And while I'm holding shift, I'm also going to hit the option and the option key is going to snap it 49 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:11,620 right into the center here. 50 00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:12,770 See how that happened there. 51 00:03:12,950 --> 00:03:17,560 If I let go of option, it's going to jump back down to that bottom quadrant. 52 00:03:17,570 --> 00:03:23,540 So holding option and holding shift at the same time to get our perfect score, I'm going to make this 53 00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:29,120 approximately that size and then I'm going to release and you can see that that is perfectly centered. 54 00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:30,740 So there's a cool tip for you as well. 55 00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:35,390 Now, I like that pink color when I was picking it earlier, but I think it's a little hard for what 56 00:03:35,390 --> 00:03:42,080 we're working on so we can come up here and choose a new field color using this pick a tool on the side 57 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,390 here. 58 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:45,440 So I'd like something a little bit paler. 59 00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:52,640 The other way to change the color is by double clicking here on that part of the layer, and it's going 60 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,860 to bring you up into your color picking palette. 61 00:04:00,970 --> 00:04:06,250 So I've just changed my mind about the color scheme I want to be working on here, and this will happen 62 00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:07,120 to you as well. 63 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,310 I could go back and re film this for you, but I think I'd rather show you in real time my life changes. 64 00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:19,720 So I'm going to unlock this background layer here and I'm going to add a color overlay to this layer 65 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:21,570 to change the color of this layer. 66 00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:25,650 And it's going to be this pale pink that I was trying to find for my circle. 67 00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:27,540 So that's going to be my background color. 68 00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:30,840 I can name this layer of background just so I don't get confused later. 69 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:36,370 And now in my lips tool, I'm going to make that quite a light version of what we were just looking 70 00:04:36,370 --> 00:04:36,940 at together. 71 00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:37,960 I like that. 72 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,380 Like that. 73 00:04:38,380 --> 00:04:40,690 So we can see two very distinct colors here. 74 00:04:40,990 --> 00:04:46,090 Background with that like pink color and an even lighter, brighter circle right in the middle. 75 00:04:46,450 --> 00:04:52,330 So that is us setting up our template to jump straight in, join me in the next lesson and we can add 76 00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:54,790 our second layers and start adding some detail.
