Tutorial - How to design your own Logo using Adobe Illustrator. This tutorial will give you an understanding of how to transform text into a graphic image making it editable like any other graphic used in Illustrator.
	1. For this example we'll just use the word "Logo". Select the type tool and set the size to 72pt. The font I used is "Impact", but you can any font you like. For this tutorial is was easier to use a non serif font.   2. Using one of the selection tools select the word and from the main menu select TYPE>CREATE OUTLINES From the main menu click VIEW>OUTLINE and your text should look like this.   3. From the keyboard press A to bring up the "direct selection tool" (white arrow). Drag a box around the lower points of the first letter as shown. While still selected press the "down arrow" key from the keyboard to nudge the selection down.   4. You should end up with something like this. If not press CTRL+Z to undo the changes and try again.   5. Using the same selection methods as step 3 drag a box around the points on the "L" as shown, then hit the delete key.   6. You should be left with the "L" minus it's bottom left section.   7. Using the "Pen tool" Press "P" click on the bottom of the "L" and draw a curvy line under the whole word.     8. This is how I decided I wanted mine to look, but you may come up with something different. Select VIEW/PREVIEW from the main menu and LOGO word should now appear solid instead of an outline. Now select the whole word again using the Selection tool and click a colour of your choice from the colour swatch.   9. Select the whole word and then from the main menu select OBJECT>PATH>OFFSET PATH.   Next Page
