Vektorgarten - Illustrator Tutorials
Germany
Приєднався 13 бер 2016
Have you ever wondered why something didn't work in Illustrator? Or didn't come out as expected? Or do you want to know how to create certain styles and effects? Look no longer, because that is what this channel is all about.
My name is Monika Gause and on this channel I'll be discussing pesky Illustrator problems. Why things do not work and how to make them work. These short tutorials show you how to work more efficiently in Illustrator, how to achieve the things you want to achieve using mostly native functionality and how to solve the strange behaviour our favourite application tends to show from time to time. But I'll be covering a plugin or different design apps every now and then.
Since 2006 I've been writing books, tutorials and magazine articles on it and record video tutorials. I'm an Adobe Community Expert.

Quicktip: 3D & Materials Panel Loads So Slowly - What Can I do?
Doesn't work at all :/
Can you describe what you are doing or share your Illustrator project?
isn’t this super obvious
Had you asked me 3 days ago I would have said the same.
Cool addition. Thanks for sharing!
Is it possible to replace a non-symbol object with a symbol? I have some static text instances that I later converted to a symbol. I just want to be able to replace the text instances with one symbol.
The trouble will be selecting them. Replacing them works with one of those scripts: github.com/nvkelso/illustrator-scripts/tree/master/find-and-replace-graphics If they are all a unique font, style, size or color or all on one layer, then selecting them will be a breeze.
Thank a lot i was so stuck at it :3
❤ Thank you much Monika for sharing . I used two or three times Tilde Key but I also must say that that most of time I also forget the functions of this key 🙈
That is probably because you rarely need that particular functionality. But maybe one time you need fireworks.
@@Vektorgarten ❤ True!
Thanks for sharing tips.
Nice tip. Thanks for sharing!
Great info, I will definitely use this. Thank you so much!
You're welcome. I'm glad you found it useful!
Thanks for the excellent video.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
❤
Great tutorial and techniques. Thanks for sharing!
thank you SO MUCH!
This is very clever!
Great.
Whoa! Thank you 🙏🏾
You're welcome!
Excellent. This is new to me. Thanks
Unlike so many other resources I have checked on this topic, this video was actually helpful! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! Thank you so much, this is amazing. Is there a way to write decimal numbers?
Yes, you can write decimal numbers. The second integer after the % determines how many places you want after the decimal point. With 0 Illustrator should just use as many as necessary, but if you want only 2, you would write %02.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu!
I always learn something from you, Monika! Thanks for making this video.
Love this. You explain it so well
Thank you!

Great tip, thanks! I needed exactly this
Glad it was helpful!
So, is it the same color but different color translation?
HEX is just a different notation for RGB. When you put that into the color panel of a CMYK document, it automatically immediately gets converted according to color management settings. So it's no longer the same color.
@Vektorgarten thank you for your reply. I copied the HEX code into the document. Saved it, and then we re-opened its different code. I wondered whether its due to color management. I really appreciate your response♥️
@@Vektorgarten So what is the solution to this problem?
@@muhammadnawar5672 Don't use HEX in CMYK color mode.
@@Vektorgarten What should I use then to send the logo to the client in the same colors that we chose, but in cmyk format... because I am having the same problem that you talked about, the number is different every time I open the color... please help me.
Loosing my mind.. Trying to recolor, but it's like nothing is selected no matter what i do or what selection tool i use, so the color dont change on the QR code.. :/
So you used the Object Mosaic and then you are trying to recolor it using which method? If by chance you are recoloring a black QR code with Recolor Artwork, then you need to first go into the options.
Nice tips. Thanks for sharing.
Very important lesson in hierarchy and applying effects to objects, groups, and layers. I think a lot of people forget about the advantages of applying effects to the layers. 👍🏻
It's also very well hidden :-)
Nice and interesting one!
Super Tutorial, vielen Dank
Hey , I want to edit either 1 long form or short form video for you in absolutely free to prove my work. I will use custom animations/graphics to take make your videos more captivating for your audience. 1 chance is all I need
Thank you for your kind offer. My videos are just like I want them to be: straight to the point without intros that take away peoples' time or attention.
@@Vektorgarten i want to discuss for youtube channel but How Can i contract you?
exactly what I needed - thanks

saved my sanity! thank you!!!
Incredible tutorial and impressive demonstration of Illustrator brush customization. Great job!
That is some great archeological digging, Monika. Although we consistently recommend .AI and .PDF as file format, it is important to acknowledge that many places still require EPS 😛.
Yes. It would be a good thing if we could finally bury EPS. But we can't and it's not only the folks asking for it, but also the folks offering it.
Great tip! Thank you for sharing. Also, thanks for enhancing the audio. 😇
Is the audio OK now? That would be a good thing! Thanks for your help with this.
@@Vektorgarten Yes, it is great now. 🔥 And no problem, that's my pleasure.
How did you create EPS file? I gave EPS extension to PNG file and created it. But it refused to open in Ai. I use WINDOWS 11.
I created that file in Illustrator. You can just place a PNG in a new Illustrator file, no need to change the extension. Also: changing the extension will not change the file.
@@Vektorgarten Thanks
Great information!
hi there, great tutorial but not sur eif illustrator updates broke the global edit function as when i past it just pastes one object in the general area, looks like the website link to the script is broken, could you add a new link for the script? pretty pleaseeee
Please check out the scripts here: github.com/nvkelso/illustrator-scripts/tree/master/find-and-replace-graphics
@@Vektorgarten thank you!!
Just awesome!❤
The link to download your script does not work
Thank you for notifying me! Please check out this link: github.com/nvkelso/illustrator-scripts/tree/master/find-and-replace-graphics
