How to apply textures in Illustrator

#logodesign #logodesigntutorial #logodesignprocess #Illustratorforbeginners
This tutorial explains how to apply textures in Illustrator. We are using vector shapes and also vector textures in this case which has an advantage over using non-vector graphics such as png's or jpeg as you can scale them to any size without loss of quality.
I will explain how to perform the various elements step-by-step so you can transfer these skills to your own designs in the future. I will teach you how to use Transparency and Make Mask as well as some helpful shortcuts and tips along the way.

Hello, thanks again for this video I refer back many times! Is this graphic able to be screen printed?

[@igloo-imaging]

@@jordanbrann8406 that would be a question for the screen printer and their setup.

After doing this, I save as an SVG. When I go to open the SVG the texture is gone. Any idea why??

[@igloo-imaging]

@@jordanbrann8406 sometimes things can be too complicated for SVGs maybe try a simpler version and see if it handles it then make it progressively more complicated to find the cut off?

[@meganglazebrook8487]

Hello, I have a logo with a similar texture and am struggling to prepare the file for export successfully. How can you 'flatten' the logo so that the texture is no longer just a mask but cut out of the logo so that you can export as svg etc?

[@igloo-imaging]

So you would need to use "pathfinder" and "minus front". Select your shape and then the vectored texture (use shift to select both) then hit minus front, this will then take out the texture from the main shape. If your main shape as multiple objects this will need to be done for each, use copy and past in place to get it exact each time. Hope that helps.

[@meganglazebrook8487]

@@igloo-imaging thank you! Thats helpful. So in this case you don't need to use the mask at all? I tried using the minus front method and the pattern doesn't seem as 'full' as when I use the mask, like it hasn't minused the whole of the texture. Do you know how I can avoid this?

[@nabeehashaikh9713]

When I save the file and open the file again there is no texture available even if I use the vector texture effect?

[@igloo-imaging]

Are you saving it as a .ai file?
