All language subtitles for 11. Finalize Your Logo, Part 2 Artboard Setup for Quick Export and File Management

OK let's get our board set up so we can export this and then we'll get our folder structure set up for

the whole project management side of things.

So these are boards you might be saying here already on our Bartlet's export this well when it comes

time to actually export this we can quickly batch export based on our board.

So what I do is I will bring over this final full color Logo version all drag a copy over to the right

here.

And remember we had that letter M as our gap space so what I'll do is all get my direct selection tool

.

Click once and here commands you to copy and paste.

And now when I go to move this I can just drag it down and they'll drag another copy and I'm going to

change the color here so it doesn't get confused with everything else.

I'll drag another copy up here my smart guides tell me when it's alignment aligned here and we're using

the height of this as the measurements on the sides since we're using the height.

I actually did turn it sideways here.

So we're still using that height to set it off nominal shift 0 to get my onboard tool and I'll just

hover over here until my smart guides tell me that I'm aligned.

I'll drag down.

There we go.

And now I've got a canvas or an onboard rather with the proper amount of spacing around this logo to

make sense.

Hope so.

All right.

So there's one version and then now what I can do is shift Oh and then I'll click and drag down and

that won't come with me this time because I have this option up here the move copy artwork turned off

I escape and then I come over here and grab this other logo and I'll drag a copy over here.

And this time I'm just going to hit this little drop down to a line to our board and I'll just Center

that.

Oops.

OK so here's here's a good example I drug over a copy but what did you know.

Ax to cut it from here.

Because if we look really really close there's a subtle black stroke around that our board which means

that's the one that's targeted right now.

Click once on this our board that black line comes in here and you probably can.

I mean it's really really difficult to see.

But anyway it's there you can tell which our board is targeted there.

Now with this one targeted I get hit command V to paste it on that our board and now I consider it to

this our board here.

All right.

Now what we need to do next stage is name these are boards shift.

Oh you get my onboard tool again.

And since I'm on this one already I'll just go ahead and name this our board and we'll call it one color

one color and we'll name this one full color I will name this guy.

Details and they're going to come down to our boards window and make sure that we're in order and we

are detail's full color in one color.

This is just from when we export a PTF that way it puts the stack in order.

So we see the details page first and then the full color and then the one color you can drag and drop

to rearrange the export will be on that.

All right.

And are our boards are set up and ready to go home and hit command s real quick just to say where we're

at in the now let's take a look at our folders in our file structure.

So typically what I export will be Illustrator files eps files.

PDX JPEGs sometimes tips and pian Geez.

So let's dive in and learn what those are real quick.

First of all I said that my file structure so I've got my AI folder and illustrator is just the native

file we use to create this a little bit editable if I ever want to get back into this and edit it later

.

I'm going to write click and make a new folder and we'll call this one.

Yes.

The sensor encapsulated postscript.

And basically it's a lot like an Illustrator file but it's a little more generic.

So guys who might have older software a lot of times like sign guys or people who make apparel might

not have the most recent version of software they might not have Illustrator at all but an iPad is still

a vector based program and you can use that file to to work with the shapes so I'll send him an iPad

.

And know what to do this is just a blank folder so I'm just going to hit command d to duplicate it and

hit return on my keyboard.

Jump right into renaming it and I'm going to call this PTF command to duplicate return to change the

name on this one.

We'll call this one j peg dash web command d to duplicate return to change the name here and we'll call

this one J pig J pig print command to duplicate return to change the name we'll call this one pian G

.

And that's probably good enough we could do Tiff's and we could do some other things.

But this is more than sufficient to get what we need here.

So now we've got all these files set up and ready to go in the next lesson what we're going to do is

actually learn how to batch export all of these files and make our life a lot easier.
