1
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:12,150
So here is where we left off in the last lesson, we've set up our canvas here for our new emblem or

2
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:18,030
our stamp logo, and I'm just going to keep going on this because I'd like to build out some more defined

3
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:23,790
lines around the outside of this, ready for our text and our flourishes, and then we'll be all finished.

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,370
So the next thing I'm going to do is rename this ellipse to my background, Elipse.

5
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:37,200
So come on over to your Elipse tool and go ahead and choose that and at the top, make sure that your

6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,730
full color is white.

7
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,710
That's the next one I'm going to use here so you can select that and you can see that the film has been

8
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:46,920
changed right there to white color.

9
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:54,090
So I'm going to do exactly as I did before and draw my ellipse down in this fourth quadrant with the

10
00:00:54,090 --> 00:00:57,280
shift key being held to make it a perfect circle.

11
00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:58,430
So here's my circle.

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,510
It's not perfect yet because I'm not pressing anything.

13
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:06,720
I'm going to hold shift so that it stays perfect and then I'm going to hold option so that it snaps

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,500
to the center.

15
00:01:07,710 --> 00:01:11,250
And we don't have to worry any more about trying to line these circles up.

16
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:13,770
Exactly, because they are already in line.

17
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:18,720
So I'm going to go to approximately this distance away and release.

18
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:24,540
And now I'd like to add a border to this shape because I'd like a line to go all the way around this

19
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:25,340
middle part here.

20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,840
So go to the move, too, just so we don't mess anything up.

21
00:01:28,290 --> 00:01:32,820
And with this, the layer selected, come on up here to the properties of this circle.

22
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:36,270
And we're going to press this button here, which is our outline.

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,540
I would like our outline here to be the same color as our background so I can either choose one of these

24
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:47,130
from memory, if I remember which one was our background layer, or if you're like me and you want to

25
00:01:47,130 --> 00:01:52,680
take the quick way out, press this color, pick a tool and just use the eyedropper to find that for

26
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:52,890
you.

27
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:56,250
Now it's come on at three pixels, which is very skinny.

28
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:58,230
I don't know if you can even see that at the moment.

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,300
So all you have to do is make this bigger.

30
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:04,050
You can press the up arrows and have that increase, increase, increase.

31
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:08,700
And when you find a number you're happy with, just press that return key and you'll see that outline

32
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:11,880
in the middle here starting to get bigger and darker.

33
00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:14,280
I think we could still go even larger than that.

34
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:20,130
So let's go around thirty five pixels and press return and I think that looks really good.

35
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:27,030
The next thing I'm going to do is copy this ellipse right here, but have a smaller circle on the inside

36
00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:28,620
so we can do that two ways.

37
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:31,050
We can just copy this ellipse to like that.

38
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:33,120
Go ahead and drag it onto our copy too.

39
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:35,970
Or we could draw it from scratch like we did the first place.

40
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,530
But I already have the copy here now.

41
00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:38,760
So that's what I'm going to do.

42
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,030
I'm going to press command T to transform the shape and without holding shift this time, I'm going

43
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:49,650
to make it slightly smaller and have that snap in the middle there, nice and centered.

44
00:02:49,710 --> 00:02:50,860
Like make that a little bigger.

45
00:02:52,050 --> 00:02:54,630
Remember, at any time this is completely changeable.

46
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,770
So wherever it lands will be a great place to start from.

47
00:02:58,770 --> 00:03:00,120
So I'm happy with that right there.

48
00:03:00,150 --> 00:03:05,430
Press the move to to lock it into place and I'd like to change how this outline looks.

49
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:07,110
I don't like the solid one for the middle.

50
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:09,480
Maybe you do for your logo and that's totally fine.

51
00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:15,600
But if you come up to our properties panel up the top here where we chose our outline earlier, this

52
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,080
drop down menu here lets you choose what kind of outline you would like.

53
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:21,090
Maybe you're after some dots here.

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,720
Maybe you are after some straight lines like this.

55
00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:29,820
And this is what I'm personally looking for, but I don't want it as big as the outline earlier.

56
00:03:29,820 --> 00:03:35,760
So I'm going to make it just a bit smaller on the pixels, maybe twenty five and you can see that get

57
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,840
locked into shape there.

58
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:38,190
And I'm really happy with that.

59
00:03:38,190 --> 00:03:39,630
I like how that looks a lot.

60
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Now I'm just going to do a little bit of color tweaking here until I find the color scheme that really

61
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,960
works for me.

62
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,460
So I'm going to speed this up for you.

63
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,560
But all I'm doing is going into these shapes and making sure they're all the right color that I'm looking

64
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:52,860
for.

65
00:04:21,910 --> 00:04:26,650
OK, so you can see that I was tweaking that quite a bit, and that's the best part about making a stamp

66
00:04:26,650 --> 00:04:30,280
icon like this, is that all of this is customizable as we go.

67
00:04:30,460 --> 00:04:33,070
I'm sort of playing it by just by sight here.

68
00:04:33,070 --> 00:04:35,080
If I like the look of something, I keep it there.

69
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,600
I see what it looks like if I'm changing the outline size or the width or how close together these circles

70
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,170
are and just fiddling around with these colors until it's just right for me.

71
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:48,730
So completely play with this take take your time and make sure that it's right for you.

72
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:53,680
And now that we've set these circles up completely, join me in the next lesson and we'll start adding

73
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,670
some text to this.
