how to design a logo using the grid system in adobe illustrator cc



 
go to "view". click "show grid". using the grid system in adobe illustrator cc to design a perfectly geometric and consistent logo. go to "view". click "show grid". to zoom in hold the "alt" key and scroll with the mouse wheel. go to "view". make sure that the "snap to grid" and "snap to point" are checked. get the pen tool. Click on the grid. I will make a monogram logo with two letters "I" and "D". as you see, the lines are snapped automatically to the grids. now the spaces between all the elements are equal. and this is one of the most important benefits of the grid system. hold down the space bar to activate the hand tool, so you can move the artboard. Click "ctrl+y" to activate the outline mode. the outlines are perfectly aligned to the grids. ok. I need to make it a little diagonal. select all. now, get the shear tool. Click and drag. ok. get the direct selection tool. select this corner. drag the live widgets to make it rounded. but the width here bigger than the width here and here. click "ctrl+ z" to go back. click and move every widget individually. looks good. I will give the letter "I" point a color. ok. again go to "view". Click "hide grid".
