How to design a logo with golden Ratio #2 | Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

hello everyone welcome back to my channel many people asked me to do more videos about golden ratio so this is another tutorial to show you how to design a fish logo using the golden circles make sure to watch to the end of the video and don't forget to leave a like subscribe and ask me what you want in the comments section ok in the first golden ratio tutorial I made a fibonacci rectangle where the ratio between the squares is approximately equal to 1.618 today we will make a perfect golden rectangle where the ratio is always exactly 1.618 so hold shift and make a perfect square go to edit click on copy then return to edit and click on paste in place while the square selected go to transform panel make sure that this chain is unchecked and multiply the width value by 1.618 ok select the two shapes go to align window then click on horizontal align left now with the rectangle tool hold shift and make a square from the top right Anchor Point of the rectangle now make a square for this rectangle press ctrl Y to activate the outline view and make sure that everything is aligned repeat the same process for every rectangle to make the golden circles select the ellipse tool then hold out and shift and make a circle from the center of each square okay let's take out the circles I showed you this method just for the sake of learning now I will show you how to easily make the golden circles which we will use to design our golden fish logo okay let's duplicate this bigger circle go to edit then press copy then paste it in place go to transform panel but now you must activate the chain so the circle will transform proportionally now divide the width by 1.618 repeat the same process until you get all the circles you can see that we got the same circles that we made with the rectangle okay this is a few sketches that I made when sketching you have to make your drawing as geometric as possible it's better to make all you lines circular this is the final sketch that I will go with drag the sketch on top of the circles right click then arrange then click Center back now resize your sketch until it fits in the circles now decrease the opacity of the sketch to 50% then go to object click on lock then click on selection I color the golden circles so I don't get confused when the circles are overlapped ok holdout then drag the red circle and align it with the big around nurse in the sketch drag it again and align it with the fish shape here always hold out to duplicate the shape when dragging now I'll close the fish body with the green circle press ctrl Y to activate the outline view and align the circles perfectly make sure to activate the snap to point option okay everything is good control Y to go out of the outline view select everything and with the shape builder drag the cursor on the fish body parts then take off the useless parts I will make every part of the fish alone to make the process easier now I will make this part I'll fill the body shape first okay drag the red circle and align it with the sketch line again drag the big circle and close the shape it doesn't have to be exactly like the sketch select everything then with the shape builder drag the cursor on the new shape now take off the external paths drag the big circle activate the outline view by pressing ctrl Y then align it with the fish shape okay drag the orange circle and close the tail part select everything select the shape builder and drag on the shape then take off the useless parts make the same process for all the tail parts okay to make the fish's fin hold out and drag the big circle now close it with the orange circle select everything and with the shape builder drag on the fin shape okay take off the useless parts and switch the fin color from stroke to fill we are using only the bigger circles because almost the previous part are equal and big now we will make the smaller parts switch the body color to stroke so we can see the sketch now we will make this fin drag the green circle and align it with the fin then drag the yellow circle and close the shape select everything and with the shape builder drag on the fin take off the yellow circle now to make this cap behind the fin drag the green circle and place it here select everything and with the shape builder tool drag on the gap shape take of the useless parts and with the eyedropper tool give this parts the color of the body now hold shift then select the gap shape with the body go to the pathfinder and click on -
