All language subtitles for 12. Finalize Your Logo, Part 3 Batch Export Files and Professional Client Delivery

All right let's jump back into Illustrator and learn how to export these and send them as a final file

to our client or in this case it's for our self.

But hey it's good practice.

All right.

So let's jump into Illustrator and what I want to do is go to File Save As a jump over to my finals

folder and inside of there we'll jump over to the iPad folder and I'll change my format down here from

Illustrator to Illustrator EPS.

And we want to use the i-Report saw.

Click on that we'll use all of the art boards and then I'll save everything like this is just fine.

There is a chance appear at the version you might want to save a legacy format and that you'll have

to you know you'll going to send this to print or somewhere and they say hey we need you know Virgin

whatever for CBS 3.

Well then you could come over here and export that later to give them something they can work with if

they don't have the most current version.

But typically just leaving it alone like this is fine.

So OK we'll export that eps file and right now it's going to be writing those out when I jump back over

there.

I can see they're here now.

One interesting thing when you send an iPad apps out it actually does for files we had three cardboards

but the fourth file is a file with all of them in one document.

So I usually delete that so if I hit spacebar I can do a quick preview and see which one that is.

And you notice the names to the names change so it exported the board names.

This is underscore details.

This is full color and this one color.

And now this is just the the original illustrator father re-exported and he has everything in there

well we don't need to send him that so I'm going to command delete to delete that from that folder.

Now go and export some of these other ones.

Now an interesting thing when you go to File Save As the only options that will have from that menu

will be that.

Illustrator and Adobe PTF file types.

We can also do SVGA.

But right now I'm just worried about these couple of files here finals and we'll jump over to the PTF

.

We're going to use all our boards here and this will just rename Diom logo final is final save all of

this is great just as is we can leave the illustrator editing capabilities on white save PTF And when

we check that out there it spits out just one file because it actually package's up those logos within

the one document which is kind of handy.

So we got a PDA half done now.

Now for the other file types instead of coming to file save as we need to jump down to file export.

So we'll click on export and since it's on Piaggio to use the PMG use our boards will jump over to our

PNB folder.

There we go and let's go ahead and hit export.

Now you could do a couple versions of the PNB right now.

I'm going to do one but you could do a print based version at 300 and then come back later and do another

one at 72 for web based.

Right now I'm leave it at 300 and I'm going to make sure that transparent is turned on.

So PNB since for portable network graphic and it supports Alpha transparency.

A J Peg does not what that means is a j peg will export with a white background.

It doesn't know how to make things transparent but it PMG does it knows how to keep transparency.

So as I scroll around it you can see it you know it blurs it out on my system here.

But if we look we get these subtle colors poking through.

So the cardboard is actually transparent which is why we use a p g when I send these off for people

to use on their Web sites.

And also notice notice the canvas of this.

It included the art board so that gap we made with that letter M here for our width stays with it to

protect the clear space of our logo so that's pretty handy.

All right.

Without all those versions they look good.

Now let's do the last couple of versions the jpeg and this one I'll show you the example of print versus

web.

So come up here to file export.

We'll jump into that.

Jay paid for print.

Start there.

So click this all drop down and we'll find a j peg option and you can see down here we do have a lot

of other options of files we can export but the ones that I'm showing you are the ones that are the

most popular that I end up sending to clients that they use.

So we use our boards we use all of them to export.

And this one is for print.

So we're going leave our color mode and see I'm OK because this is a final file.

I'll turn the quality all the way up to maximum sensitive print will change your resolution to 300 and

we'll leave this a little check box selected which basically embeds a color profile to try and get the

colors to match as close as possible no matter what system you're on whether on a Windows or Mac or

you know depending on what printer you go to.

Hopefully all the colors will line up and look good.

I'll just jump right in and export the next version will export and this time we're going to do the

web based jpeg.

So we'll use our board's export make sure we're on Jay Pay right there.

We'll change your color mode to our G-B for web and I'll leave this at maximum that's fine but I'll

change your resolution down to 72.

And again inboard embed this profound as be.

So this is just a standardized color profile that again tries to make your colors look is consistent

across the board no matter who's viewing it on any device.

So that exploded.

Let's jump over here and take a look.

So we have a print file.

No one knows the size.

This one is about two megabytes and if we jump over this guy is much smaller at 118 kilobytes.

So we've got our print based versions and then we have our web based version.

Now one thing to be cautious of and maybe even tell your clients is that when they see the pay for print

it isn't C in my case so there's a chance if they look at the colors on their screen it's going to look

terrible and might look faded muted but when they print it it should print flawlessly.

So that is how I export my files.

The only other step here would be to include the fonts if you want to.

So I might right click make a new folder and I'll just call it fonts and I put a space at the front

of it.

So that way it stacks it to the top.

And then I would I would open up on a Mac and open up Font Book Search for that font.

And one thing pay attention to font licensing you if you're buying fonts or depend on the fonts are

you using you need to have a license to share this with them.

So always follow that practice but I'm showing you how I would gather my fonts you know depending on

which font it is and if I can share that license.

So I would right click on this font and I would show in Finder.

There it is a hit command see it to copy come back over here command V to paste and not font comes with

my folder right click on that final's file and I will hit compress finals on a PC.

I think it's sent to compressed or zipped folder and now I've had a zipped folder so everything is contained

right in there it's only nine point four megs and I would post this either in base camp or send it via

e-mail.

Let's just jump in to base camp real quick and I'll go to that logo file that we made

and post a new message we'll call it final files and then I use an app called Text expander.

It's pretty handy and I have all kinds of snippets that I've already made so I just typed in L-L Ogo

for logo but I had an extra L in there and it spits out this text that I sent to my new clients so I

can come in here and highlight as I usually put this in bold so it looks better.

And this explains to my client what the file types are and why I included it.

And then I will select files from my computer or drag and drop that zipped folder right into it

and when it's done uploading I can go ahead and post this message and send my client the final file

.

So there it is.

Hopefully you learned a lot in this section about creating logos and exploiting them and be sure to

check the project files for those assets as well.
