what's up guys first night here and as
you know we create quite a few things on
this channel we normally focus on iOS
development we've done a little bit of
iOS design with the dhobi XD and of
course I love creating these videos for
you guys but this time this design of
the month is an Adobe Illustrator this
is a very first design I've ever made or
anything I've ever even played with
inside of wo the straighter and this is
what we're going to be creating in this
video now we're not going to go over the
fine little details when it comes to
creating all the boxes and all the
circles within this actual screen in the
computer because it gets a little bit
repetitive but we're going to create the
main computer I want to show you how I
get that glare effect on it and we're
going to kind of just go over how to
navigate through Adobe Illustrator after
all this right here is my very first
Adobe Illustrator design ever but I like
how it turned out and I want to show you
guys how I went about it so without
further ado let's go ahead and hop into
Adobe Illustrator for this design of the
month we're going to first start of
course by opening Adobe Illustrator and
hitting new we're going to make it a
thousand by a thousand just because why
not we're going to have a square it's
going to be a computer on there thousand
five thousand seems appropriate I'm
going to hit create and here we are
first I'm going to come over here
right-click and do rectangle tool I
guess you could do rounded rectangle
tool too so let's go ahead and do that
want to make the screen the part that
flips up we're not going to make it
exactly square of course the laptops is
a rectangle and then let me just move
that to the center because I'm a CD like
that is that the center yeah alright but
what I want is this to be black it is so
you can see this is black but I don't
know let's make it two points so we can
see it make a little bit easier for
ourselves we're going to adjust that
later if we need to for the inside of
this we're going to make it like a
darker grayish color so what
tap when this color right here around
there sings decent okay and now we have
the inside that color so this is going
to be the borders of the computer so
you'll see the blenders out here in one
set but we're just going to do to make
life easier and select this ctrl-c
ctrl-v so we have the same exact thing
we're going to hold shift and make it
smaller so holding shift if you don't
hold shift it will distort that way if
you hold shift it'll keep its ratio but
we're just shrinking it a bit I'm going
to bring that into the mental if we can
grab it and bring that right into the
middle this as you can see it's Marquess
Center obviously that's a bit too big of
bezels nobody would buy a laptop with
that big of bezels so it's wrong thing
let's grab this Center it up we've got
to play with it a little bit see how it
is and not a lot to see I have to make
it a bit wider because we want even
bezels all the way around if it's the
same ratio then we won't have these
embezzles on the side as we do up top so
it's decent right and now let's just
pick a background color for our screen
background color for the screen make
sure you have this inner selected it
doesn't matter if you have it selected
like that or just like this double tap
huh this is a nice blue we got going on
let's make a blue and then we still have
the roundness up here but as we know who
screens aren't really this rounded out
so moving this will as you can see
adjust every corner and we'll get into
just adjusting one or two corners in a
bit but we're going to sharpen that out
a little bit how does that look well
let's do a little bit more let's make it
dance a 2.48 I like I like that and I
don't know it may be a little bit off
with the bezel or not but that's what
we're going to play with for right now
so right now let's make the base we're
going to do the same thing as we did
before I'm going to use
the rectangle tool not the rounded one
just because it makes my life a little
bit easier extend it a little bit
further because although in reality it's
the same exact width right here is
closer so it's going to look larger
obviously I know you guys already know
this stuff but uh let me feel like I'm
doing something I know you guys are
really really smart anyway all right so
obviously we want this to be the same
color as this right here by light that's
not necessarily true the inside bezels
will probably be darker unless you have
like a Space Gray as the outside of the
actual computer at least my computer is
so let's go ahead we're going to make it
a gray but not the same exact gray maybe
like a lighter lighter gray like that
I'll I don't like that let's make a
little bit darker than that it's like a
real dark and speaking of this let's
make this even darker because I don't
really like it how it is I want to make
that this start I'm going to come back
over here make it just a little bit
lighter this is mine it pickiness and I
don't have to go over everything I just
want to show you my process of kind of
how I created this thing all right so
with this what we're going to do is
scroll in just to make life a little bit
easier so we see these right here we're
going to double tap and what we're going
to do is where is it unlock here no all
right so we can just adjust it here so I
lied we have to unlock it of course and
we can adjust it here because we have we
want that round edge at the bottom let's
start off with ten let's make this ten
over here as well kind of get out of
there close close and that looks half
decent maybe a little bit more of a
curve but we're going to no we're not
going to keep that there like that I'm
going to make it more of a curve just
real quick
I'd only explain to you guys again
because you you already know how to do
it fifteen fifteen I think that looks a
whole lot better yeah that definitely
looks a lot better than it just did so
of course this is the base when this
folds down
it'll close I think give the appropriate
to stretch this out a little bit longer
recenter it that looks better and all
honestly we have curves up here and
curves down here what we don't really
see on a Macbook we don't see the curves
if we're looking at this angle it's just
going to be straight so what we're going
to do is come on to this unlock as it is
just kind of make it zero let's just
turn it down to zero so it looks like
it's going straight into that eggs out
of there
and that what's more appropriate that
looks like the hinges down here and
round out a little bit below and there's
normally a little bit of a bigger bezel
at the bottom if you're counting the
whole entire face of the screen now in
order to have this little divot that we
have right here in order for you to put
your thumb under this and open it up
we're going to select this ctrl-c ctrl-v
and I say that because every time I hit
ctrl D it doesn't work see I'm hitting
it and it's just moving it to the right
because ctrl D is normally duplicate but
let's just do control C control V I
don't care to look into it because you
know I found an alternative that works
we're going to hold down shift because
we want the same aspect ratio in this
scenario we're just going to make it is
small I like we don't want the same
aspect ratio we want it about half let's
say actually before we throw it in there
make this black will be six zeros let's
stir this intersect in the middle let's
see how that looks
oh it's half decent maybe let's make
this a little bit more rounded because
of course that changed too so let's uh
let's make a thirteen that's the max it
can go to make a thirteen alright now
that we have this going here's a little
divot that you would put your thumb
under and I think that what's decent is
centered along with this and along with
this and what do we want to have next we
want to kind of put that little line
that I
up here because just kind of gives it
that little bit of a kind of like a 3d
effect almost like there's light showing
on it and lining them up directly with
this and all obviously kind of difficult
see as you can see it kind of leaks it
over into it a little bit allow me to oh
it's not showing the whole entire thing
let me make this go directly to here
make sure it's a straight line across
and we have to select this I'm going to
make it like a maybe like a straight
white just off of just right around
there it's a little bit of tint in there
I don't want it that sin so let's make a
little bit thicker that's too much let's
make it a three see how that works
and as you can see it kind of leaks over
into that is too long
you
and it's always halfway decent in all
honesty I'm just going to make this the
entire length of the computer and you'll
see why in just a second we're going to
make it go all the way I said this looks
halfway decent right except this is in
front so what we're going to do is just
come over two layers over here click on
that let's put the job down because this
is everything this is the line this is a
rectangle so we're going to throw this
rectangle which is which is the little
thumb part you'll see in a second it's
going to come over top of the line you
see that so it looks decent it just
gives it a little bit of effect a little
bit of 3d effect you know just makes it
look a little better so let's
incorporate it and what else are we
missing so if we were to come over let's
create another line we already have the
line tool selected and normally says
MacBook right here but when it comes to
the sign I don't it looks kind of cool
to have the lines represent text so if
it says MacBook right inside here let's
throw line and we'll Center that in a
bit let's make this the MacBook is is a
silver let's make it kind of like a grey
of course okay we're making a little bit
darker than this little glare I may
change that to full white but for right
now we're going to keep it as is I'm
going to make this five point let's see
how that looks
once we scale it out that's not what I
wanted so we have intersection and both
centered it looks just about centered
and within this I like it a little bit
above that looks decent but five is a
bit too much let's make it forward and
all I'm so you I don't even like the
four either let's go ahead and just
throw back down to to see how that looks
let's make it three all right three and
let's halfway-decent that's going to be
the MacBook Pro ready I like it now all
right so now that we have the basic
computer I am going to add in a little
bit of detail so let's just throw in the
dock for example I'm going to come up to
rectangle we're going to throw in a dock
I'm not going to throw in each and every
component of the dock but it'll look
good enough
so we're going to have to round these
out separately flirt unlocks already Oh
so used to hitting the bottom one
forgive us when I'm trying to round out
so the doc is let's make it a bit
rounded to six a piece it's exit out of
that let's just kind of scroll out see
how that looks looks halfway decent
right so what we're also going to do is
give us a color for the inside we want
to have it like a like a bright white to
kind of transparent color so let's a
pick right there I'm going to eliminate
this I'm going to just go ahead and make
this zero as you can see zero good to go
because I'm going to change the opacity
where we get that transparent look let's
bring it down to 50 just to kind of give
yourself a gauge way too much let's
bring it back up to 70 yeah still too
much I'm going to make this a lighter
let make it all the way white because if
we get the transparency it will make it
look a little bit better see now the
trim the opacity of 70 percent isn't not
enough it's almost just right it's very
close when we zoom out this kind of
overlaps that I don't really like so
we'll move this up just a smidge and add
a deep glance you can't even tell that
it's not touching it exactly and by dot
touching I'm talking about right here so
what about are we missing we're missing
a bar up top like this bar up here
except let's make it its traditional but
let's just take this ctrl Z ctrl V let's
throw this up top it's kind of aligned
they're going to make it similar and as
you can see I can make it any degree
angle I want but if I were to hold shift
down it'll go from you see how it keeps
straight or it'll go to a night a 45
degree or 90 degree or it'll just keep
turning around but these are the
increments if I take off shift I can go
at any angle on one so that just kind of
helps you stay exactly straight at a
zero degree angle when you're trying to
mess with this
you
and there is our bar up there in order
to make it a little bit easier to see I
can change this color to kind of like a
darker grayish you know blackish blue
see now looks a little bit better I
actually like that background a lot
better the bright doesn't really gain my
intention I kind of like them more so
Sadie the almost looking color like this
color I like it a lot and of course when
you scroll out it almost looks like this
bar is drooping onto the bezels out of
the screen but when you come all the way
in well looks like this one pen is so
let's go ahead and change that
so if you notice that I kind of went
away a second ago that's because my
camera cut off but obviously I'm just
speeding through the parts that are kind
of repetitive or I'm not talking but let
me just go ahead I'm going to save this
because we just made the basic computer
we have the doc we have this up here if
you want to add little little icons up
here that's fine too and we just have
the basic computer layout let me go
ahead and kind of talk you through the
other design that I showed you earlier
in this video kind of how I created that
alright so now that we're looking at the
MacBook that I created before and within
all this window and whatnot as you can
see everything is just the same I took
this I ctrl-c ctrl-v Nord to duplicate
it and then just scaled it down into
what this is now and I created another
box and this is what this tab is right
here as you can see it's obviously a box
because it has borders on it and I don't
know I just kind of like that look a
little bit more look like this was over
top of what's below here and with this
it kind of looks like it's inset with
and I was just showing you guys two
different methods of what you can do
I made circles just coming over here
right click ellipse tool and I can hit
shift and make a perfect circle as you
can see it doesn't matter where I move
my mouse makes a perfect circle boom but
I'm not going to make one right now and
I just made them the same colors as you
would see on any MacBook Pro a red
yellow and green and then I just made a
bunch of lines all of these are simply
lines I change the color of I just
duplicated each and every one
so I ctrl Z ctrl V V V V V and it just
create a whole bunch of other ones I
selected a few made them one color
selected these two made them Pink's like
with all these made in blue and then I
just kind of lined them up like gills
indented like like a normal text editor
like you'd be coding and in order to
create this over here which I actually
really like I came over to layers let me
click that again and I came over here
let me see which ones which as you can
see when I click on this this is
selected now so we got to go down a
little bit to here so now we have this
selected and then I held them
shift-click all of these
and now that I have all of these
selected I ctrl C to copy and ctrl V to
paste it and here I have it right here
and then what I did was I made this up
here since all of them are still
selected make sure you keep them all
selected for this whole process I put
them down to two and then I could just
kind of made them smaller kind of like
squish them have been so as you can see
this is what we're left at I could kind
of let me just put that over here so it
doesn't really confuse you and that's
kind of what I've left that maybe this
looks better than this I don't know
personal preference but I just kind of
squish this together to make it look
like another text editor like I think
Adam kind of squish this up and those
sublime text to it kind of takes the
code squishes up here just see you may
be within this viewing range whatever
here just shows all of your code if you
have a whole bunch it shows more than
just this window shows not necessarily
readable code but just kind of shows how
long it is it looks cool
all right so in order to get this glare
right here what I did was as I just
simply created a rectangle and I changed
this opacity to 10% so now it looks a
whole lot similar to this right here and
what I did was of course I turned this
to the proper angle let's pretend that's
the same as aisle that that's on I lined
it up right about there I'm trying to
line this up right there and I came over
to this free transform tool click on it
and then as you can see you can do free
distort or perspective distort just kind
of play with it listed perspective so
obviously we don't want perspective
because that changes it into a way that
we don't we want free distort so we're
going to come down want to make this
parallel with that we're going to bring
this all the way up to the top try to
keep the same angle that we had before
and see now we got to play with that a
little bit as you can see I'm holding up
here but we're trying to make this
parallel to one another so let's click
off of that click off of that and as you
can see we kind of need to change that a
little bit let's come back free store it
you can also come over here and do free
transform to it'll change it just like
this as well let's go ahead and go back
and so as you can see perfectly glared
no wonder create this other one all I
did was simply they clicked on this copy
V or control-c control-v just made it
smaller you had to distort it a little
bit as well but you know nothing you
can't do on your own and that's it I'm
going to delete this because I kind of
like the way it looks right here I'm
going to save it and that's kind of how
you create the laptop you create the
glare and you create this cool little
text editor everything is just lines
rectangles and circles and then we round
the edges we free transform and use the
direct transform tool I think it's
called and just kind of mess with this
until the glare we have that polygons a
parallelogram that we really need and
then you just make a big circle on the
background make a line just kind of make
it look like it's sitting on a desk if
you want to do that and that's it I mean
it's very very easy just dive in
especially if you have something else to
look at so with this video you have this
computer to look at and you can just
make it look anytime you want if you
don't want it to be resemble a Macbook
then it doesn't even be resemble Mac
would it be a Dell XPS 15 if you don't
want to text editor in your so you don't
like the background of course you can
change that too all right guys
thank you for watching that's it for the
end of the month I do however have a few
announcements one being this design as
well as my other app designs are
available on my website that I am
currently making so once it's complete
which should be within a week or two
that will be down to the link below if
you wish to get these designs to kind of
play around with it change it to your
liking instead of making it from scratch
that's really convenient for the app
designs because you don't want to
necessarily create a whole app design by
scratch yourself it's nice to have that
like a uikit and play around with it
just adjust that because easier to have
a template and start from scratch
also I got accepted into merge by Amazon
so I have a few designs including this
one that we just created here for sale
on the t-shirts online merge by Amazon
account so I will have that link down
the description box as well once I have
everything uploaded over there and I
really hope you guys enjoy it and if you
wish to support the channel go ahead and
purchase that if you wish to purchase it
just because you like it I'm okay with
that too or if you don't want to
purchase it at all and just want to keep
watching my videos that's fine too I
don't feel pressured to purchase it's
just something that will help put money
back into the channel in order to allow
me to create more videos so that's it
for this video hope you enjoyed it and
until next time have a good one
