Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 642 Creating a gently blanketed logo, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now last week I showed you how to create a wrapped logo…W-R-A-P-P-E-D logo…in Adobe Illustrator.…The term so far as I know was coined by Bill Gardner…over at logolounge.com…and I like it because the product name looks…like it's wrapped in a striped sheet.…Well this week we're going to get away…from this highly staccato effect here…with all these jabby corners…and we're going to go for something softer…like this gently blanketed logo…that's smooth like smooth jazz.…
As in Kenny Z.…Here let me show you exactly how it works.…All right here's our final gently blanketed letter Z…open inside Illustrator.…Now our first steps are the same as they were last week.…You want to go up to the file menu…and choose the new command…and one way or other,…you want to set the width value to a thousand points,…the height to 680,…we don't need any extra art boards,…the bleed value should be zero…and you can set the color mode to RGB…or CNYK, whatever you like.…
At which point, I'll click the create button…
