Awesome, hopefully some more artwork vids in the future.
Definitely 🙌🏻
Wow, this was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen for programs like this. Simple to follow...almost too simple. I looked at the start of this video with fear but in the end I was like, "oh shit...I can do this." Thanks Lee!
Glad to help man! I that's exactly why I wanted to make this one the way that I did, so anyone even with zero experience can pick it up and knock something out ✊🏻
Hey Lee great vid. I love how you put quality into everything you do. Taking that extra step some printers wouldn't have done. Keep'em coming.
Thanks man, it's all about taking the steps necessary to make the best product you can
Learning so much from all your videos.
Great tutorial. I would recommend using the Outline view to make sure those lines are aligned correctly and the shape builder tool to remove the excess bits
Yup I pulled up outline view once in the vid, I usually do that to make sure I don't have any open or stray paths. I'm still not a huge fan of the shape builder tool for some reason, I always work faster with the pen or basic shapes. Thankfully there's about 10 different ways to do anything in illustrator haha
Whats good bro? I've been following your videos on screen printing & I'm super impressed. I'm in the same boat as you were when you started out, ik jack shit about screen printing but I have a million ideas but right now I'm just watching you, Kenyonken, Print life, Catspit, & Yadah yadah...lol. Basically screen printing & other shit of that nature is what I think...well ik I wanna do. Listening to your story about being lazy & sitting around blowin (smoking weed) & it really inspired me. Oh I can't forget about Reyes the entrepreneur dudes story was some bottom up shit that I love as well, but I'll continue to watch & learn what I can until the day I can get my bread up to follow your lead. When that does happen I'll defly let the world know where my future greatest came from. Keep doing your shit, stay humble & blessed my boi! 💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Oh my 9 yr old Amari thinks you're funny as shit too bro. Some shit he doesn't understand (which he shouldn't 😂😂😂), but what he does makes him laugh his ass off!
Thanks for the support dude, much appreciated. It's a tough run in the beginning, I wanted to quit so many times. But eventually you nail those first few things that make you a printer and it's so worth the bullshit that came before it. Good luck homie and tell the little man I say what's up 👊🏻
I never knew how much I needed you to make this video but holy crap! Please continue doing adobe illustrator tutorials as well as screen printing tutorials.
Glad it helped somehow man! I definitely plan on more.
I’m always stunned that the larger companies don’t have vector files of their logos. Or the ones that send you a word doc with the image placed inside it. 😂
Ya it's pretty insane, I've gotten so many of those I could never count 😂
Lee Stuart 😂 yep.
Forged Through Fire The word doc with a screenshot blown up is the best.
G P
I know right?!
Or the, “I saved it in eps format from word.”
Yeah, that works. 🤦🏻♂️
@@_gpop Those are the ones that make you want to pull your hair out....
Nicely done.
Super dope gear and vids
Thanks man
I completely agree. Drives me nuts too. Moral of the story = people choose the easy way out/convenience over quality 99% of the time... or, worst case scenario, they aren’t even aware that image trace is taking a giant dump on the artwork.
I've literally spoken with printers who are aware that it kills artwork, and they just say fuck it and do it anyways. It's ridiculous. Things like that are exactly why I started my own shop 🤘🏻
Lee Stuart I hear ya, that is directly the problem.
Hello mate...I've been using Photoshop on and off for a long time...pretty ok with it...but Illustrator is something I've used every now and then and I'm definitely not as comfortable with it... taking artwork from Photoshop to Illustrator etc...
Would love a progression of tutorials on the different steps...files types...the back and forth etc....
Love the video as always...thanks
You sir, have come a long way in such a short time! From the first screen printing vid, I said to myself, "this kid is going to make it work"... here we are, year later and you have become more of a professional than those that have been in the business for decades! Keep up the good, no.. excellent work and stay humble, brother!
Thanks so much for that man, I appreciate it! I'm giving this thing everything I got on a daily basis, I'm determined to build thing into a well known name in the industry 🤘🏻
@@leestuart38 look at how many people are already on the fb page, 2 days, over 500 strong, face it brother, you are already well known in this industry. That's exactly what I mean when I say stay humble.
That group has been incredible, I never would have thought it would take off so fast. It's so cool to see all the back and forth and good advice being shared in there. Staying humble is the name of the game always, which is exactly why I started the group. I'll treat the day one rookie with the same respect as the 30 year vet, and I wanted to make a place that reflected those values.
Really enjoyed this one. Do more like this !
Thanks man. I need to do some more illustrator stuff soon
@@leestuart38 Anytime ! I’m hear for it!
I have a question and you maybe you would be able to help with my decision. I am working on my brand and I have to trademark my name, logo, and slogan ! But before I trade mark it there is something that is called federal search which is cheaper or international search is more expensive. Would you recommend to go all out and do the international search before trademarking it?? Then I have to pay again to do the actual trade mark? What did you use to do that ? What would you suggest
thanks so much Lee..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice workflow thank you
Anytime 🤘🏻
Oooooooo tutorials! YAY, Some good tips in here.
I'll try to crank out more!
How would anyone not like this video
Salty ass people 😂
Looking forward to this series. Design certainly isn't my strong suit right now.
Learned a lot, thanks for sharing🤜🤛
Happy to hear that! 🤘🏻
I would personally prefer to use the shape builder tool for this one, as it would reduce the amount of steps and simple shapes needed. But in the end it all comes down to your own preferences and what you feel most comfortable with. Great work and clear instructions!
Normally I would have to produce the U, but the shape builder is a little bit more complicated for beginners so I stuck with the pathfinder. Thanks man
Make more of this stuff lee!!!
Thanks for the tips & tricks homie!
I definitely plan on it ✊🏻
The Perfect video I was looking for. I have a logo and when I printed it looked pixelated on the shirt because I guess enlarging a PNG pixelates it. So I found out I needed to make a vector of my logo. And this is just the video for that
Great video
I don't know if you're going to see this put your screen printing videos are the sole reason I have decided to attempt to start screen printing and even attempt to start a clothing brand. I've been lacking confidence since I lost my arm in a motorcycle accident 2 years ago. But watching your videos I've decided to say fuck it. Thanks man!
That's super cool to hear man, I'm honored! Wish you the best of luck!
Wow! great video, you have so many useful tips, I'm glad I found your channel. So many little things I've tried to do and failed or simply overlooked. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the pathfinder tips!! haha that's a trick I've been wanting to learn!
Pathfinder is everything 🙌🏻. I know plenty of pro artists who could use a tutorial on that 😂
Super helpful and great video for someone like me starting in illustrator
Glad to help!
Wicked tutorial
Thanks! 🤘🏻
Lee, thank you for this amazing video. I have my logo that I needed this same touchup but I didn't know how to do it. I'm new to this and appreciate your tips.
Glad to help 🤘🏻
awesome thank you soooo much!!!!!!!!!!
Anytime 👊🏻
Great video! Keep these tutorials coming.
Thanks man, I plan on it!
Another amazing one 👍😁 super clean and simple love the tutorial keep em coming
Thanks man!
You are still our hero!!!
Hell yeah great video bro!! Please make more content like this on designing and vectoring. Keep up the good work
Thanks, I definitely plan on it
I was told years ago some artists give a crappy version to the customer so they can't easily take it somewhere else and have it printed... our artist charges a pretty high price for original logo design but then we provide all the proper files on a flash drive once paid in full for intellectual property.. good artwork isn't cheap but it's worth it if you plan to use it on multiple substrates..
We're the same way. If we're creating original artwork or having to recreate it in this case, we charge accordingly but always deliver the proper files in full at the end. That's what they're paying for and I can't believe how many people still get work without doing that.
Thanks for the information Lee! Always quality videos
Happy to help, thanks man 👊🏻
Nicely done Lee...
Thanks!
Great video, very useful for my illustrator learning!
Glad to help!
Thanks man
Happy to help 🤘🏻
More great info brotha thanks a lot keep up the awesome work!!!!
Thanks man 🤘🏻
I needed this! I get so many low quality images to work with
Hopefully it helps! I'll dive into more of this stuff soon so you can get after some more complicated artwork. 🤘🏻
A tutorial worth ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As usual great video. Thx! 🤙🏽
Thanks!
LOVE THE VIDEO !!!!! KEEP UP THE WORK
Thanks!
Did anyone else see the Dropbox notification and think who is this???! lol great video!
Great content, Your videos not only are sweet quality, I always learn something new everytime. Keep it up. I wish people would take there time like you do and make us all quality videos. I get that people work with what they have, but when i see someone thats a veteran at Screen Printing just throwing videos out there it just feels dirty. Too me, Lee Stuart= QUALITY. F@*&$ CLEAN!
Thanks a lot man, that's really cool. I take a lot of pride in anything I do and want to make it the best that I can, it's a lot of work but it's awesome to hear that people enjoy watching it as much as I do making it. 🤘🏻
Cool thanks for the lesson🤘
Hope it helps 👊🏻
When making a vector version of a logo, I hate searching for the correct fonts!!
so is there a way to do a fast and dirty conversion from PNG to SVG with Photo shop? as in customer provides lowish dip image that just wants a fast rough draft of the printed film. there paying for it of course. now I found out that you can gray-scale to bitmap separation. but don't want the halftones. I know I'm I'm probable just missing it. any help would be appreciated
Great content as usual
Thanks!
There’s a time and place for every tool. Of course Live Trace isn’t going to work if you don’t adjust any setting whatsoever. Great tips nonetheless! Sharp vectors make sharp prints. 🙌🏼
There's no time or place for live trace as far as I'm concerned, it belongs in the trash with the artwork it ruins 😂
i have no idea so I'm asking, do you have this software A-I on your mac or do you access it on a cloud at a monthly fee?
I CANT EVEN MAKE A CIRCLE ITS CRAZY
Good job 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I have a problem, with Illustrator 2020 I save my drawing in pdf but the site Amazon kdp doesn't accept, it is badly displayed then I save in PNG and open it with photoshop then save it in PDF so now it is accepted and well displayed .... I am on sizes 😓
Learned a few things here which was dope. How do you feel about the pen tool? Things can get tricky redrawing to vector with that.
The pen tool is my go-to for doing most stuff, but anytime I can use shapes I will since I know they'll be perfectly symmetrical.
Damn, at first I didn't think the logo they gave you was too bad then you started to zoom in 😬 lol
It was a real mess haha
Excellent video my man! So, just a quick question. Any time you have a client that provides you with a low grade quality logo/design that is not in vector format such as the one featured in your tutorial, would you charge the client to “digitise” or “vectorise” their logo/design so that the end quality is up to scratch or simply include that ad part of your service?
Absolutely. Anytime you have to put extra work into the job it should be charged accordingly, even if it takes you 2 minute to do like this would for me. They're paying for the years of practice and experience, not the minutes of your time
Thanks Lee. Yeah I thought that might have been your answer. I wish I got a $ for the blank faces I get when I ask for a vectorized logo. They look at me like I’ve got two heads and then get upset when I tell them I have to charge to vectorise their logo. Keep up the great work!! I’m still on HTV but one day I hope to transition to screen printing. Just don’t have the room at the moment.
I want to give it my all about to get into printing just picked up press
What screen do you recommend I start with and what should be my next pc of equipment only have press
You'll need a selection of screens to start with, not one screen is suited to every print. A good starting point though would be some 110, 156 and 230 mesh
Thanks will get started on picking those up
Hey Lee quick question... I want to print my own film positive but I want to know if the epson Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wireless Color Wide-Format is a good printer for that work.
I'm not sure, I'm not familiar with it. But what you want is a printer thats compatible with a rip software like accurip if you're going to take this seriously
@@leestuart38 thank you time to research..... I've just been going to staples to get my film pos
Nice vid! FB be some hatin ass ma fukas! Keep up the good work man.
Thanks man. I'll be in there spitting fire right back 😂
WHY NOT COREL?
Adobe is miles ahead in every way
I miss illustrator
Method was all sorts of sloppy but you are out here getting it like the rest so good job!
Dude I've seen a few of your videos, you might want to check yourself before calling someone else sloppy. Stick around for some future stuff though, you might learn something.
Aww shit why y’all beefin
bad look charley with no context
Sloppy? Maybe a few steps could be shortcutted for time, but that is a fully cut ready Vector. How is that sloppy? One could use stokes, then outline them for the fastest recreation, you could use the pen tool on the whole thing, or use shapes like here. Point is it's now a production ready working vector made in a few minutes, and he showed design practices useful to any designer, novice to experienced pros. Sorry I didn't mean to bump this beef from the past, just seemed like a random jealous comment to me and annoyed me. Sorry.
Hey bro great video! I have a client that is starting a clothing line. My design studio is handling the design for the clothing. When they asked me who we think would be good for printing ONLY ONE COMPANY CAME TO MIND... RogueLab! I would love to talk further about the project because there are some additional details.
Do you personally do logos?
Yep! Both me and my lead designer here both make all kinds of stuff
So 100%
What’ software do you use to record your screen?
Apple has integrated screen recording with QuickTime
When I get customers that send me this I feel bad that I have to charge them to recreate the trash someone else over charged them to do.
We do it on almost a daily basis. A lot of hack stuff out there, especially thanks to things like Canva
Why not just put a couple more guides in and use pen tool?
This is just easier to keep the line weights identical on a design like this, it's also a little faster for the way I work.
hahahaha i tried using photoshop and then illustrator just to make up a simple text page. nope, it wasnt happening. tried office as well, and couldnt even change the text in office. I went back to the stone age and used a ball point pen. so many times a month, a saying someone said comes to mind when working on a computer. "engineers. Taking something simple, and engineering the simple right out of it."
The more i work with a computer, the more i hate them.
It's really simple once you take a bit of time to learn it
I do this every day........ why the heck is it so satisfying to watch other people do it? Image trace tool is such trash, I can’t believe people actually use it and print that crap on shirts.
It's unreal how often it happens. I saw a Gracie Jiu Jitsu school recently that had an 8 foot image traced logo on the wall, it looked like pure ass from a mile away. Hopefully more of this info gets out there so less people can get away with it
Exactly only way is to make it right these clown shoes wannabe designers couldn't make a straight line using the actual straight line tool even if they tried. Haha. Make Trace equals smack in face in my opinion haha. For Logos anyway. Had this one client say to me for my @funlabsdesignstudio Illustration Company can't you just put my image in (a wonky pixelated mess of an image I might add) and click Trace? I said "Only if you want a crappy looking Vector Logo I can. I use the Pen Tool foo !" 🤣 He followed my comment with a "Ok." duh face haha.
