Dansky, I've been watching your videos for a while and I wanted to just says thanks for making great content. I always wanted to get into graphic design and these videos are my bread and butter for learning stuff.

Could you maybe make a video on how to turn these into an actual font on your computer! Thanks very much and great videos!

Make outline strokes for those letters, then simply copy the vector and paste it to FontCreator. Simple CTRL C CTRL V

Thanks Dansky, that was very helpful. now I have the mint design too :), don't worry I won't use it, I will use what I've learned to (fingers crossed) design my own custom logo, which may be faster than using regular fonts as a starting point...

Again, awesome video man! Definitely giving this a go tomorrow. One thing I'd like to add though: at around the 17 minute mark, you explain that we could unite all 4 letters together using the pathfinder panel, or if we prefer we could group them so we can easily ungroup them if we want. However, after some googling (since I wondered what the unite option in the pathfinder would do with separate objects), I've found that, when you have shapes that don't touch, as is with your letters, the unite option in the pathfinder panel will actually group them as well. Any thoughts on this?

@ForeverDansky 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks Maikel. Yes if you select all letters and 'Unite' in the pathfinder panel it will turn into one complete shape, which kind of behaves very similarly to a group - in that you can select the whole thing as one, or use the Direct Selection Tool to select individual letters. Personally, I like to 'Unite' all letters/shapes once a design is totally finished, and Group shapes together whilst the design is still being actively developed. Hope this is helpful :)

@mversantvoort 7 жыл бұрын

Dansky Thanks, so it isn't exactly the same and I was wrong. Seems like a good idea yeah to combine everything into 1 shape that you can't simply alter anymore when you've finished your design, I'll remember that.

When aligning the dot above the 'i' and the line from the 't' the Vertical Align Bottom tool moves both shapes to the very bottom of the page - am I missing something? (I want to add that I just discovered your videos today and I've learned so much already, thanks so far!)

@ForeverDansky 7 жыл бұрын

Awesome, glad you're enjoying the videos Craig! When you have both shapes selected, at the top there's an icon (looks kind of like an artboard shape) if you click that you can choose what to align to. Select "Align to Selection" and it will stop aligning your shapes to the very bottom of your artboard :)

Hi there, is it good to add design/creative at the end of your brand name. I hear mixed answers on this. Some people say add when starting off others says don't add it. As a graphic designer I currently I have design at the end of my unique name. It's been running for 1 year now but don't know if i should remove to make it shorter. Your advice would really help. Thanks
