You should see blue bounding boxes around each object, which indicates that you have them selected.Īlternatively, you can select multiple object by simply clicking and dragging a selection through them. Then, hold the Shift key and click on the other object to select it as well. Next we must select both objects at the same time so that Illustrator knows which objects to subtract.Ĭlick on one of the objects to select it. Step 2: Select both shapes at the same time by holding Shift and clicking them You can also select Bring To Front as well (keyboard shortcut: Control + Shift + ]) which will raise the object above every other object in the stacking order. You may have to repeat this process several times if there are other objects positioned above it. To convey the idea of fusion and records, a series of concentric rings were created to suggest a record.Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut, which is Control + ]. Ungroup ( Object > Ungroup) to make working with individual letters easier.
Set the type and then convert it to outlines by going to Type > Create Outlines. Ainsdale Medium is used for this mini project. Let's see how this command can help in a logo design for the fictitious Fusion Records company.ġ) First, find the right font. The Unite command, the first icon under the Shape Modes label, fuses two or more objects into a single object. Let's get started on the first example that shows you how to merge shapes together into one.
Since there is shared functionality between the tool and panel, the examples will reflect how both work. Fortunately, the Pathfinder Panel ( Window > Pathfinder) can do everything the Shape Builder Tool can do but just a bit less intuitively. However, if you're using an earlier version of Illustrator, you may not have access to this tool. There are several examples below to demonstrate how the Shape Builder Tool works.
To illustrate the current "what's wrong with my graphics" versus "why does their's look so much better" conundrum, check out the shapes below viewed via View > Pixel Preview at a zoom level of 500%. Graphics and text look great when printed it's graphics on the web that can use a little nudge to look just as good. However, at the end of the day, your artwork will either be printed or displayed on a screen of some sort somewhere at some time. It might be odd to start this final lecture off by discussing pixel-perfect artwork considering Illustrator is a vector graphics app. Learn additional methods for creating complex objects using the Object menu.Īlignment and Distribution Pixel Perfection.Explore the Pathfinder Panel to create complex objects from groups of simple shapes.Learn to distribute objects and spacing of objects using the Align Panel.Learn to align objects to the Artboard or other objects using the Align Panel.
