    Your accent and voice is so kind. Makes watching video super easy.

    For those who are wondering: 1: To join the path on the owl's eye lines: select the anchor points with direct selection tool (A) then right-click -> Average then right click -> join 2: Create only one side (line + eye) then group then use the copy option in the mirror panel. It's faster and it's easier to maintain symmetry after when moving the object. 3: To make a perfect triangle : Select the star shape and while maintaining ctrl or cmd press the down arrow till you reach a triangle. Maintaining shift at the same time will put the base down flat too. 4: Maintaining shift while creating the circle makes it perfectly round. Hope it helps.
  • Thank you for this! I haven't practiced my graphic designing skills in a while now. This is a great help for me.

    I was born in Cheshire but haven't been back in years. I love listening to you talk - it reminds me of my childhood :)
  • @Topazurey
    This tutorial saved my life! Not even for the actual logo part (although they are lovely) but simply for learning how to group multiple strokes and then use pathfinder to properly combine them! I am only learning and could not find this anywhere else! Was doing my head in ! Thank you so much for this <3
  • @user-gd2el1ez7x
