    You are quickly becoming my favorite person! I'm making several of these in a variety of colors to use as background images in my videos and such. I've always loved these simple splashes of color on a white background, and now I can make my own :) Brilliant! Thank you for all these tutorials.

      Helen Bradley It just blows my mind how many settings there are in Illustrator and how well you know them and how to use them. That takes some mad skills!

    Thanks Halen for your clear instructions. I do understand Russian but I had hardest time following Juli's early tutorials. I don't think they should have been called tutorials, rather demonstrations of her great skill. She is getting much better about teaching, though. I think one important point you missed is that you need to change the blending mode to Multiply after Expanding second time...Thanks again. I subscribed.

    I love Juli Rose's videos; I've been studying them for about a month. She uses an English-language Illustrator these days, but her older videos are in Russian (as you say in your video). I've typed blend modes and menu items in Russian letter-by-letter into Google translate just to figure out what she's doing, if I don't recognize shortcut keys, so I'd say I paid my dues with her! :P
    Your video does a great job of emulating her ribbon, but she does one key extra step, in case anyone is interested: after expanding, ungrouping, expanding again, then lowering transparency, she'll also *change the blend mode to Multiply*.
    One thing no one seems to do is use type cmd-h to hide the edges-so instead of seeing a billion blue paths and clicking off to check out your gradient, just choose View>Hide Edges and you can tweak your gradient to your hearts' (everyone) desire. :)

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  9 лет назад +2

      adarkerlight Thank you for casting some light on the finer details of this process. I am glad Juli has started to use an English language version of Illustrator. Her designs are great but trying to second guess Russian commands for beginner Illustrator users is very difficult. I would say you have definitely paid your dues with her! You certainly went a lot further than I did!

  • @PitchblendUkDesign
    @PitchblendUkDesign 8 лет назад

    Thanks for all the hard work you put into this channel Helen. The technical detail and clear explanations are really helpful. I added a 5px blur at the end of this exercise and the effect is really swish. If you add some transparency to some of the gradient slider swatches it adds a nice smokey effect.

    This is so much more time efficient than having to learn Russian and then watching Juli's video. I'm already struggling enough learning Spanish!

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  10 лет назад

      Morgan Field Yes, It is sad because her videos and techniques are wonderful, but inaccessible if you aren't quite knowledgable in Illustrator as you have to work out what she is doing - I had to rewind a few times to really see what tool she used - my Russian (I think that is the version she is using) just doesn't stack up to reading Illustrator panels. Well done learning Spanish, that is a very useful language.

    Someone asked how to make the lines smoother - Juli's are smoother than mine. I just watched her video again and her lines are closer together and she uses 70 as the steps for her blend. If you want a smoother and denser ribbon then use lines that are closer together and experiment with the number of steps - the more steps the more dense the effect will be. I hope this helps whoever was asking!

      a late answer but, you can also use the pen tool to create the lines. with that you can make it as smooth as you want

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  9 лет назад

      jmetz8402 Hi there. I suggest you watch the original video of Juli Rose - she spends a lot of time working on her gradient fill. I don't. I was concerned to show the process of making the ribbon and not spend a lot of time working on colors. If you watch her video you will see how she tweaks her gradient fill - that might help you understand how she gets the effect she gets.

    • @adarkerlight
      @adarkerlight 9 лет назад

      With all of the ribbon selected, she lowers the transparency of the ribbon and then uses the blend mode Multiply. That should give you what you're looking for. Use cmd-h (view>hide edges) to hide edges so you can see your ribbon while its selected. Don't forget to turn it back on, though. jmetz8402

    Somehow i can't manage to make it exactly like juli rose... as you do it there is just a plain gradient over the lines... here's multiply in a cool way... the denser the lines the darker the color. Can't seem to replicate it, because the multiply setting in the transparancy menu doesn't have any effect... you know by any chance how she did it ?

    Thanks for the tutorial Helen. I tried doing it on a smaller scale and it looked funny. So I was wondering if it can be created then resized smaller without it distorting?

      Great question Jonathan. If you are making it smaller, then use fewer repeats so it doesn't get too busy. If you make it big and then reduce it everything will close up too much and it probably will look a bit weird. But I'd try both ways (at least the first few steps) to see which looks best to you for your intended purpose. I am looking at this video thumbnail right now and it looks good even though it is tiny but, of course, it looks 'different' to how it will look at full size as you can't see the individual lines.
      I hope this helps?

      Thank you Charlotte! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video. It’s such a cool effect but so difficult to try and translate it from a foreign language version of illustrator to achieve.

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  9 лет назад +1

      +Andrew Macnfrind Andrew, make sure you have the shape selected - if nothing is selected there won't be anything to 'preview' - happens to me a lot!

    Thank you so much for all the tutorials! I learned a lot from them. I am curious about the name of this script that you are using (This one which creates a rectangle the size of the artboard), because I would like to use it too.

      seraphie Hello Seraphie, thank you for your comments and for stopping by my channel. Here is a link to one of my blog posts - at the bottom of the post is information about the script to make a rectangle the size of the artboard: projectwoman.com/2014/01/create-a-perfect-archimedes-spiral-in-illustrator.html
      And here is a link to my video on installing and using scripts in Illustrator: ruclips.net/video/072tQefb0_4/видео.html
      Let me know in the comments here or in that video if you have any questions.

    It will be more easy to understand that if you show the option largely on the screen of your each video. Because when I played the videos, the every options have been appeared blur on the screen, the large view is easy to understand. Thanks.

    • @HelenBradley
      @HelenBradley  3 года назад

      Suman, did you make sure you are looking at the video in the correct definition? Sometimes RUclips will set the resolution to a low value and things will be blurry. If you change to use a HD resolution it will look better. Check this post if you are not sure how to do this: support.google.com/youtube/answer/91449?hl=en
