To you illustrator software users to detailed analysis to share the creation of simple modern linear deer-shaped logo production tutorials.
In the beginning, we have to talk about ideas. Logo design is definitely not genius, after the early assumption, step-by-step approach to the ideal state of mind, this is the only way. Customer's home brand with humanistic care as the center, advocating the concept of live life, because the use of wood structure, therefore, these ideas are relatively close to the symbolic intention of deer.
Using the current more popular straight line design, linear design is clean, pure, at the same time with a simple fashion. The original concave and convex shapes are all replaced by straight lines.
After sketching a brief logo symbol, open the AI and create a new document that fits the size. Because it is a vector file, you can also not be too rigidly stuck to a fixed size. I'm here to create a 800px*800px document.
Open Edit > Preferences > Guides and grids in a new document, set the gridline interval to 20px in the Guide and grid Settings panel, and the secondary divider to 1. This setting means that the grid size has changed to the 20px*20px = size of a single grid. And the secondary divider line is whether the grid lines can also be divided into smaller grids, set to 1 for the grid line to retain only one grid, that is, no secondary division of the smaller grid. (words do not express what I want to express, everyone or their own practice to change to see the effect)
By selecting Smart Guides and Snap to Grid under the View menu bar, smart Guides help you achieve automatic alignment in the drawing process, and aligning the grid helps to make your image more accurate.
Using the Pen tool, first draw the deer nose, the nose part of the whole face of the focus, the next line is based on this composition. You can find a picture of a deer, depending on the shape of the deer hint as a reference. Pay attention to the mesh that passes through each line segment to make the deer's face symmetrical.
The nose uses a white filled black stroke, while the rest closes the fill. The stroke size is 1px and the color is black.
When the pen tool is used, the tool defaults to a closed shape (the end of which means the first and last anchor points meet), so when a line is drawn, you can click the ENTER key and the Pen tool ends.
In the drawing process, the way to keep the graphic concise is to simplify the lines and use the existing lines to shape. So the smart guides here can provide a lot of anchor points and intersections, and you're going to focus on drawing the contours of your graph at these points. Note the characteristics of the objects you are drawing.
If you've already drawn a closed graphic on the symmetrical side of the object, for example, I've already drawn the antlers on the right, then the symmetry tool can be used to make the symmetry transform on the left. Select the object, right click, select "Symmetry", in the symmetrical panel selected "Vertical", and then click "Copy", then there will be a and the original object to maintain a vertical symmetry of the graphic, the graphic to move to the left of the appropriate position, so that the overall picture to maintain a symmetrical aesthetic.
Next we want to draw the eyes for the deer, because at this time no need to snap to the grid, so you can go to the View > Snap grid to turn off the snap grid options. Draw the part of the eye in the right place.
Fill the eye and nose parts with black. Make the object easier to identify. Maintaining a recognizable basis, the face can add more arbitrary details.
In the Antlers section, because the present level of composition is not strong enough, I also need to remove the antlers and deer head overlap part. At this point, you can use the scissors tool to cut off this section of the path, select the object, in the path you want to cut the beginning and end of each of the two clicks, and then select can be directly through the keyboard delete key.
At this point, the overall shape is drawn complete. can be appropriate to increase the width of the line, such as here I will originally 1pt line to 3pt. This, in general, enhances the appeal.
Generally speaking, we usually need to make the contour line thicker when we finish drawing, so we can feel more volume. In this case, it would not be appropriate for us to make the contour bold, because the contour line is not a separate path, and it may be tedious to continue to split the existing path to combine the new path. Here, I use a method that is to draw a complete contour line outside the original contour line.
At this point, the entire object is locked up, unaffected by the contours that we're going to draw next. Select All, click "Ctrl+2", and lock the completion. The stroke is then changed to a very bright color, and the outer contour is drawn along the anchor point of the Smart guide, according to the anchor point.
You can find that some imperfections, such as antlers, are not as sharp as the ideal. You can debug in the Stroke Setup Panel. The outer contour is changed to 5pt first, the end point is a flat end, the corner is a miter connection, the limit is 20px, and the alignment stroke is aligned to make the stroke outside the side. Each parameter has a property that it controls, and is believed to be easier to understand intuitively, depending on the icon on the panel.
The outer contour color is also changed to the original image to be consistent, unlock the original object. At this point, the addition of the external contour of the object, will make the overall effect more level, the details are richer.
For the logo to add a solid color, with the corresponding text, you can play the charm of graphics.

Well, the above information is small set to you illustrator of this software users to bring the detailed creation of simple modern linear deer-shaped logo production tutorials to share the entire content of the you see the users here, when they do it, try to find the object that can be expressed in a straight line. , just as this example antlers are the best expression of the straight line of the object. When you choose, pay special attention to every detail in your daily life, so now you're going to try it yourself.
