Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video Covering up gaps and seams in your logo, part of Illustrator CC 2013 One-on-One: Mastery.
In this movie, we're going to fix these bad…seams between the initials, and the zig-zag mountain peak…path outlines above them, by adding overlapping transitional…path outlines, based on paths that we've already created.…So, the first thing I want you to do, just to make things easier to select,…is to press Ctrl-Y, or Cmd-Y on a Mac, in order to switch to the outline mode.…And then press the A key in order to switch to the wide arrow tool.…And we want to select this anchor point right there, but if…I click at this location, I'm going to select a zig zag line…above instead of the initials down here at the bottom, which…is a little bit crazy because the initials are sitting on top.…
But the problem is that, that little corner…right there is clipped away, in the initials.…So what you need to do instead is click on this m in the bottom…right corner of the art work and then…click on its top right anchor point instead.…Alright, now press control y or command y in…a Mac to switch back to the preview mode.…And I'm going to zoom out a little bit…
