Okay, in this video is we're going to steal colors from
an image rather than knowing what
the corporate colors are, because we don't know what they are.
Let's say we're going to go and steal them using this handy little eyedropper.
Then we're going add to down here into our swatches panel.
But before we get started,
will it be the exact color from the brand guidelines and be perfect?
No. Will it be close enough that nobody will notice?
Yes. I don't know why,
I don't like stealing colors I like to use the official numbers.
But let's go and do this stealy version.
You rebel, renegade, outlaw.
Let's go and steal colors from a logo.
Where did you get the logo from?
You might have got it from your websites or you might have
setting on your system somewhere got file and go to place.
Place is what In Design calls import against just File Place.
Find the logo. If you playing along in this tutorial and you Download the exercise files.
Inside those exercise files in a folder called O1
flyer and inside of there is bring your own laptop logo or BYOL logo.
Click "Choose", click once on your screen and
his the logo we want to bring the color from.
So to make this thing work,
what we need to do is top tool here,
just click on the "Background" so you've got nothing selected.
Just click in the no man's land here got nothing selected.
Then down the bottom here about toolbar,
say this one, it looks like an eye dropper,
click and hold it for a little while by default,
yours is probably set to the color thing tool,
I want the eyedropper tool.
So you click hold,
hold on the mouse,
and then you should be able to move over here,
still holding down and grabbed the eyedropper tool.
Now what we can do is click it's the "Tippy bottom-left".
Well that tip of the little eyedropper.
Click on that once and nothing really happens.
But over here, my colors panel,
it doesn't really matter whether it's got the struggle,
the fill will look at that in a second, and doesn't really matter.
All you need to do now is go to this little flat menu and say add
this swatches and what's happened is it's stolen that color, there it is.
I'm going to go back to my move tool or my selection tool and I can
double-click it and that is a name with color value,
the bringer, laptop green.
How close is it?
It is not going to be absolutely a 100 percent perfect,
but it's going to be pretty damn close.
So that's a way of stealing and colors from a logo.
It's not going to be exact though, so you might.
There's just a big asterisk saying don't come run to me if there's a problem.
But, I've never had a problem,
stealing colors from logos works just fine.
I'm going to click "Okay".
You can see down the bottom here is my bringing all types of Green.
I haven't edited to my library.
So with that selected, I can click on this and then it goes over here.
But because I don't want to do this, I'm going to delete that,
selected it with my Selection tool over here of binded.
I don't want it in here and I don't want it in this one either.
So I'm going to right-click it and go to Delete, back to happiness.
We've got official colors and we're not doing any stealy stuff.
I don't know why, I have a problem with stealing colors.
I think it's design school.
They beat that sort of stuff into you.
So you get a bit scared about borrowing, appropriating, stealing.
So that's it for this video. Let's get onto the next one.
