Hi there. In this video,
we're going to look at grouping this thing together and rotating it and
adding some text and making a perfect circle and all those are fun stuff.
Let's go and make him in this video.
First up, we'll bring in the text.
You could obviously just type it and box,
I'm going to go to the example files.
There's a file in there call 'Discount Text', open that up.
Copy it. Then design.
Grab the type box.
Click ''Hold Drag Box'', then paste.
Remember I'm doing it on the side, so that I don't end up missing out of these things.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to use this little slide bar,
move across a little bit and what I want to do is I'm going to select all of this.
I'm going to make it paragraph,
I'm going to make it centered.
I'm going to use my font that I'm using.
I am using arial, of course you can use anything, arial bold.
What size is it going to be?
I'll have to double-check, I've gone for ten point at the moment, black arrow.
What we want to do is draw our circle,
then group them together.
Drawing a circle is click and hold down the ''Rectangle
Tool'' hold on that icon until you get to ellipse.
What I'm going to do is I could click and drag out any old size.
But if I hold down the ''Shift Key'' on your keyboard.
Look at your keyboard it's on the left and the right often,
hold it down, click ''Hold'' and drag out a circle.
But why are you holding ''Shift''?
It makes the circle perfect,
that is true of the Rectangle Tool,
it'll make a perfect square.
How big does it need to be?
First of all, we'll give it a color and a stroke and then we'll go and play with it.
It needs to be a yellow. At the top here. I've got it selected.
I've got my black arrow,
I've got it selected the top here I'm going to use my down the bottom here.
It's GaH yellow, and in terms of the size,
what I wanted to be is I've got a pretty close. I could have got it bang on.
Let's say you want to resize it? What was the shortcut?
You remember, of course you remember it's ''Command Shift'' on a Mac,
and it's ''Control Shift'' on a PC.
Grab any of these corners.
You can click and drag it to an appropriate size.
I'm going to get it about that size that looks
about good in the corner, I'm going to move it back off.
Now I'm going to use this type here,
sticking out at the top and we're going to run into our first problem of arranging.
Whoever gets made the last is on top.
I'll circle was made after the ticks, it's on top.
What I'm going to do is with my black arrow, I can go from the background,
I'm going to right-click this circle,
if you're on a Mac, like a MacBook Pro like me,
you might have to use ''Control'' and click it,
it gives you the right-click.
Let's use 'Arrange'', let's go to send either backwards or back will work,
in our case we want backwards,
if I sent it to the back,
it'll work because behind it,
but what happens when I move it across here?
It's back behind this image as well.
What I want to do is I can undo it,
I'm going to right-click it and say I want to move it,
'Arrange' and I'm going to go backward,
which means it's going to go back one step.
It's going to go behind this one guy.
You might have to go backward a couple of times to get the balance right.
I'm going to grab this, does it fit?
Not really, so I'm going to grab this edge here.
I'm going to get it's on like four lines.
I'm grabbing the edge here with my black arrow.
Does that fit? Kind of.
When you are moving things around,
it can be a little high because it tries to want to snip.
I've got my keys on my keyboard,
just the arrow keys, the cursor keys,
I'm just going to tappity tap until I get it right and I'm going to drag this up.
If I want to select these two and align them,
I'm going to grab my black arrow,
I'm going to select both of these guys,
and then the top here you'll often see it,
if you can't see it,
there's my tiny little arrange panel here.
There's an official panel though, you can't see it,
it is under window,
'Object and Layout' and you can turn this panel on.
What it'll let you do is this one here send to the both horizontally.
If yours does what mine just did,
it's probably not, it's aligning to the whole page.
Yours generally by default is aligned to selection.
I click these guys, clicked this vertical one as well if you want to try
and align it that way and I'm going to bring you back out here.
What I'd like to do is, hold down a little bit,
I want to group them, so I've selected both of them by dragging a box Brown both.
I'm going to go up to 'Object' and go to the one that says 'Group'.
All that means is that I can click
off and click back on just one of them and I've got them both selected.
I can select it and go to 'Object' and 'Ungroup' it as well if I need them apart.
What I want to do is rotate it.
Remember from an earlier video,
I want you to grab your black arrow and just outside just go further out, we can rotate.
Click ''Hold and Drag,'' and I'm going to move it down here somewhere.
That's probably a bit too hard to rotation.
I'm looking for the cool lean thing like it's a sticker that go stuck on afterwards,
but clearly it's not.
That is how to group things,
but we also learned how to make perfect circles and we rotated things again.
Let's get on to the next video.
