Have you been enjoying my series on mini tutorials? If you have, make sure to like and subscribe! Here is another mini tutorial on how to create a logo in 5 minutes!
Logo making in reality, is an intensive process. You need have multiple meetings with clients and figure out what their brand is all about, brainstorm ideas to make sure your logo is simple yet unique and the creation process itself takes time. We are not going to do any of that, we will make up a brand name and just assume client would love what we create.
This tutorial is not about making Logos! And let me warn you, I’m no expert in logo designs. This is just a fun little project to help you learn illustrator. I mean, who doesn’t love learning through mini tutorials!
I have used a font that is available for free on Adobe typekit.

Hello people!
It’s December and everyone is busy running around getting things sorted out for Christmas. I know it’s too early, but that’s how it’s going to be! It’s so crazy that we had our office Christmas party in November! NOVEMBER!
Anyway, like every year, you have to send out holiday cards and it’s challenging because you need to add a personal touch to these cards. Now, nobody’s going to judge you for not making it personal (except Aunt Janice probably). But you are a nice person, you love your people and you are going to send those cards filled with love and holiday cheer. Here is a step by step tutorial on how to create your own personalized holiday card using Adobe Illustrator.
You can always create the elements yourself. They are made using just the pencil tool. Scribble something and you have some nice elements! Here is a tutorial on how to create a holiday themed wrapping paper from scratch (I made this during last Christmas). You can also download last year’s card here.

Today we will learn to create an abstract background with paper fold effect in Adobe Illustrator. There are two methods to create this effect:
We will create a base pattern with different shades of white and then apply a different color on top, making use of the blending mode. This method is mainly used when you have no clear idea on what color would look nice, or you want to create a set of different colors.

We will create the paper fold effect using the colors already chosen. Use this method if you have no intention of applying any other color, or you have no plans to create multiple colored sets.

An Illustrator tutorial on how to vectorize watercolor.
Vectorizing watercolors is not really a necessary step in my design process. I just scan my watercolors and edit them in photoshop to remove the backgrounds, fix some colors and I’m quite happy with the end product. But, sometimes, you need to work with these files in Illustrator and for that, you definitely need vectorized images.
In this video tutorial we will learn to vectorize watercolor artwork, which has been scanned and background removed in Photoshop. We will be importing the PNG image into Illustrator. To do this, we can use 2 techniques:
Once we have the image in Illustrator, we use the function Image Trace to vectorize watercolor image. We will also learn how to edit the settings under this menu to achieve better results. Next, we will learn to correct the minute errors in the vectorized image, to achieve that perfect high resolution vector, which can be used on print on demand sites.
