today we're going to be using a clipping
mask to make a logo design in Adobe
Illustrator it's a simple yet awesome
logo design technique what is that
people welcome back to Satori graphics
the home of graphic design content right
here on YouTube this tutorial is short
of a suite and the final logo design
outcome is really quite cool you're
gonna have fun playing with this
technique you can ask for sure the first
thing we need to be doing is to take the
polygon tool and then click the canvas
with illustrator
type in three sides to make a triangle
and then click OK
how downshifting recites a triangle to a
workable size but make sure you have the
stroke only on the color palette
we want to quite a thick stroke for a
clipping mask logo design locate the
scissors tool and then click once on the
bottom right corner and then once again
along the bottom section somewhere you
can then use a selection tool to remove
that section like so now open up the
stroke window and change the settings so
we have round edges on our stroke this
is going to best suit the starb logo
design today once you're happy with the
size and the style your triangle take
the ellipse tool and then make a circle
add a gradient to your circle and the
color is obviously up to you I'm gonna
use shades of blue you want a gradient
from light to dark like I'm making here
so take your time to play around there
once you have your first circle finished
with a clipping mask of this Adobe
Illustrator tutorial hold down the alt
option key and duplicate it from here
you can adjust the gradient in the lower
circle so it looks like the uppermost
circle is causing the darker shade of
color through shadow the design you're
making with these circles is going to be
the design your logo through a clipping mask
so take your time and you can
always experiment over and over again
after watching this tutorial when you're
ready select the triangle design outline
the stroke essentially turning the
stroke into a vector shape
this is where we're going to make the
clipping mask so move the triangle to
the front of all layers and then please
away with a circle design
select everything and then go to objects
click the mask and make
and there you have it see I did tell you
simple but like I said experiment in
different shapes and designs make the
clipping mask onto your logo design I hope
