Welcome to Deke's Techniques. … This week, we're still in Illustrator, … and we're going to take our cubical design from last week, … and we're going to carve cubical holes into it. … See these shades holes right here? … Why? … Because look at this thing. … It doesn't look right, right? … All right, I'm going to start things off … with a little bit of housekeeping here. … Notice that I have open the Swatches and Layers panels … over here on the right-hand side of the screen. … And you can get to either one of them … by going to the Window menu … and choosing the corresponding command. … And notice I'm kind of running out of room … in my Swatches panel … so I'm going to click on the default pattern, Jive, … and I'm going to Shift + Click … on this gradient called Gold Dust … in order to select those three swatches right there, … and I'll Alt or Option + click on the trashcan icon … in order to delete those swatches … without incurring an alert message. … All right, now I'm going to target the drawing layer right here …
