His Academy really worth the money and to be honest is cheap for the knowledge he provides . I do really recommend it because I learned with him in just one week what my college professors didn’t teach me in one semester.

i would like to take a moment and thank you for being there for us

Thanks. I love the precise direction. I also appreciate the process of assisting people if they need to find tools that are not showing. I did not require this, but I remember a time when I would have. Thanks for your great work.

Best first impression of a YouTube channel ive had. Instantly subbed! Quality work mate.

Lovely tutorial!
I've been using AI for 5 or so years and never knew you could average 2 points ! I always did the painful method of making a new middle anchor point and deleting the side ones
However a few things, you could have used transform to make multiple cop8es and jus expanded the shapes, I find that easier as you can also change the space between the lines
Also there is a rounded corners options in illustrator. I think that could simplified the task of making the round corners all at once instead of doing It one by one

When i tried to make them into a compound path i got "cant make a compound path. All objects in a compoundpath must be paths, and they cannot be brushed or part of an object"

And "The filter produced no results. Please select two overlapping paths" was what I got when I tried to intersect the two. And theres NOTHING out there to help me with my problem.

you can haste the process of average the nodes using ctrl alt j

Hey Nick, could you please explain the part from 4:40 to 5:00?
What did the outline stroke actually do and why did we need to do that, and also what is the compound path thing? I would love an explanation please

[tinyrig]

Well done! Your instructions were crystal clear.

2 times I followed the same way you did but when I want to Intersect (pathfinder) "The filter produced no results. Please select two or more filled and overlapping paths." error pop up
anyone can help?

[monirmaftah]

Thanks you, the combination of simple tools you working with is just simple and so powerful.

[ramonalisa]

HUGE thank you for this video. I was able to design a lovely logo using this!

[Thenicksamples]

When I try intersecting the two objects it just keeps telling me that The filter produced no results. Please select two overlapping paths. Help?

[rustyrehl]

unable to select the points once you get to about 6:11 in the video. What am I doing wrong? It only selects the whole object. not the individual points?

[INVICTUS]

Great video tutorial. I am self teaching as I may be losing my job. So thank you so much!!
