This is ironically exactly what I’ve been working on all week - we’re doing clip art animals in face masks for my employees’ name tags this year, and I offered to build them from scratch creating my own vectors from clip art using the pen tool. Glad to see I wasn’t doing it wrong, and super weird that you provided this tutorial to us now of all times. Thanks Aaron and the Phlearn team!
My go-to first try is always to go to the company website and search for a PDF such as a newsletter or annual report. If you're lucky then the logo is embedded in the PDF as a vector object and you can open the PDF in Illustrator.
I'm a Photoshop user of over 17 years of experience, so I'm comfortable with it but I started learning Illustrator about 3 years ago and I can remember that in just a few days of using it, I realized that a few days of experience in illustrator can do better than my 17 years of Photoshop, so if there is anyone who's working with vectors in Photoshop, my advice is they have to start learning Illustrator
ive been a designer for i dont know how many years, made i dont know how many logos, still cant do much in illustrator, felt so seen when you mentioned that haha
Thanks for the lesson! But for me the "merge layers" didn't automatically cut out shapes, don't know why. Played around with subtraction setting of the shapes - and nothing. But the " Layer/Сombine Shapes/ Substract front shape " worked as it should.
Can't wait for this tutorial. I had this very problem at work today and the only solution I could come up with was to retrace the artwork in illustrator, but the result was "subpart", because the lines and curves weren't 100% exact.
Hehe, and appeared he lied. I also thought there was a magic wand for these problems . Turned out all is simple: you need to redo everything with your own hand.
Thank you for this video... It really helped. However, could you also tell me how do I save this file? I mean, What if I want to use it as a logo on my social media? PNG? How to go about it?

Hi, how should I save a vector? Thanks in advance and greetings from Portugal.
Hey! Big fan of your channel! Just wanted to let you know, you can stroke a shape layer Inside/Mid/Outside by clicking on the flat line beside the fill and stroke options. Once in there, you can select the Align tab to choose where the stroke should go. You can also change other parameters in there as well. Check it out :)
Some people use Photoshop and some use Illustrator for everything, I guess it's whatever your good at or familiar with. I use the three main adobe apps for my job, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. If I was going to be creating anything vector based I would use InDesign....... Just kidding, I would use Illustrator hands down. You can also images trace any logo that's half decent quality and it does a pretty decent job. Something like the DD logo would take seconds to create using image trace in Illustrator. However, for something well known like the DD logo you should be able to google a PDF document that would contain the logo in Vector form already, just need to do a little digging. Thanks for talking the time and showing this done in Photoshop.
This video would be better if you broke down what each part of the tool does. For instance, each point has 4 directions to move, it SEEMS as tho, if you pull it in and out from the anchor point, it moves where the bend changes, and if you move it in and out from the line you are adjusting, it changes the curve, im not really sure... but you failed to explain all of these details... Good effort though on the video, people like me need details tho.
Was always taught, if your going to draw or recreate a logo always alway do it in illustrator. If I was to turn around and use photoshop I would be fired straight away.
When he merged the shapes, it placed the D shapes inside the rectangle in the same layer, so the colour only fills inside the outlines... Reading that back I don't know if that made any sense either, but I know what I mean 😆
@@JulianoMelo76 each path/shape he made with the pen tool made its own layer, There's a few ways you can do it. One way is click on your top layer, then to hold shift and click on the bottom layer. This should select all 3 of those layers (or hold ctrl/cmnd and click each one). Then if you right click on one of the layers, then click 'merge shapes' and it should put all the shapes/paths onto one layer.
Exact this whole path I did, but when merging it did not create that "hollow" inside the image, it merged everything in an image only full color this is actually my doubt ..

Anytime when I need something from PTS. Aaron is always be there and never make me feel disappointed. One more big tutorial. Thanks You!!! ❤️
You explained the pen tool SO much better than anyone else. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching and phlearning with us!

Same! Cannot get used to illustrator...and he called me out, too 😅
I love this video! thank you 🌷⭐️
Aaron, once the logo is created, what file format should be used to save it? A regular PSD? Or is there a better option?
Thank you Aaron!!!!
Thank you
Great Tutorial 2020
I would have needed this yesterday :/

awesome!!
All i have to say is “boop" :)
really cool !

Aaron you are best😊😄
at first you select the shape with selection tool or magic wand tool ... Then right-click and select convert to make as work patch and adjust.
This won't work very well for low Res though (like the first one he transformed to)
just amazing
exellent...thank u
Excellent, thanks!!
Marvellous
You can also use separate software like Vector Magic, if you don't like the pen tool 😏
always your are grabbing gold medal
wow great tutorial 👍🏻
Wouldn't it be faster to do autoselect and then turn into path?

I have CS6
Will this work on that
Wow, that seems complicated. That is something the computer can do so much better.
Dolby logo base shape is keeping absolute corner radius when resizing. How to fix that?
"boop"❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
nice
Another reason to do this in PS is that I pay $9.99/mo. for the Photography Plan vs. paying $52.99/mo. for All Apps (that includes Illustrator).
why dont do a vector mask ? its more faster right ?
you can do it in one second in Font Creator
what about adding text? :)
Text (fonts) are vector based...and will scale infinitely as well. Hope this helps 🤓
4:43 Booop! :D :D :D Booop!
Came for the tutorial, stayed for the "boop".
❤️️
👍👍👍
The fact AI now does this for u, instantly.
Worse tutorial of this channel, don't misunderstand me, you are a really really good teacher and I love this channel, but this is not the right way
not sure why complain about free content, but at the same time I feel that the title in fact is kinda misleading.

Nice tutorial as always but I guess this is a job for Illustrator....just saying...:))

Mmm, bit of a Cheeky title there.
The logos weren't very low quality 🤪
Or just convert it using Vectorizer.io
well, Photoshop is great tool, but for this task is the wrong choice.... it just does not contain vectorize functions like other vector tools....
8:27....don´t understand this...

@@grandmasterj5 tksss...could you write here the commands for this action?
@@JulianoMelo76 each path/shape he made with the pen tool made its own layer,
There's a few ways you can do it.
One way is click on your top layer, then to hold shift and click on the bottom layer.
This should select all 3 of those layers (or hold ctrl/cmnd and click each one).
Then if you right click on one of the layers, then click 'merge shapes' and it should put all the shapes/paths onto one layer.
Hold down Control. Click each layers. Let go of control.
He also said Command because on Macs the control key is known as the command key
Exact

this is actually my doubt ..
BRuh you dont show all the tools you use i am lost so deep thanks for the half turtorial
What a waste of time this video! Re-drawing in very old.
Agreed. I consider he lied.
Pooh...pooh..pooh
