WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.480 Welcome back, let's start where we left off. 00:06.480 --> 00:13.160 Unfortunately, we still need to do some work making these objects transparent. 00:13.160 --> 00:20.240 To do this, let's go back into the helmet by double clicking and double clicking again 00:20.240 --> 00:25.280 to go into specifically the isolation mode for the helmet. 00:25.280 --> 00:32.360 From here, I'll zoom in and as we can tell, our line is currently set to white, however 00:32.360 --> 00:35.760 we want it to be transparent. 00:35.760 --> 00:43.000 If we go to our stroke and click no fill or none, we'll see that it just disappears in 00:43.000 --> 00:45.400 front of the black background. 00:45.400 --> 00:53.640 Therefore, instead I'll hit Ctrl Z to undo and another thought might be to use the shape 00:53.640 --> 00:56.600 builder tool to do this. 00:56.600 --> 01:03.240 So with the selection tool, we'll click and drag a selection box over all of our objects 01:03.240 --> 01:07.240 and use the shape builder tool to create a shape. 01:07.240 --> 01:11.840 However, we can see that this doesn't work with lines and we're not able to create 01:11.840 --> 01:12.840 a shape. 01:12.840 --> 01:17.200 If we click and drag, it simply turns it white. 01:17.200 --> 01:20.760 It doesn't match the width of our lines. 01:20.760 --> 01:23.320 So we'll hit Ctrl Z again. 01:23.320 --> 01:29.360 Instead for this, what we need to do is convert these lines into shapes. 01:29.360 --> 01:35.800 To do this, I'll hit V on the keyboard and then hitting Ctrl Shift A, I'll deselect 01:35.800 --> 01:43.120 all and only go back to select the four lines. 01:43.120 --> 01:55.760 With these four lines selected, we'll go into Object, Path and we're going to go to 01:55.760 --> 01:59.520 Outline Stroke. 01:59.520 --> 02:05.080 Outline Stroke will now create actual shapes out of the strokes we've created. 02:05.080 --> 02:12.600 So from here, we can hold Shift and select the helmet as well and then use the shape builder 02:12.600 --> 02:20.880 to create one shape for our helmet and create the shapes that will be deleting and removing 02:20.880 --> 02:26.120 from the helmet. 02:26.120 --> 02:35.840 From here, I'll simply hit V, we'll hit Ctrl Shift A to deselect and we'll go back and 02:35.840 --> 02:40.480 delete the shapes that we need removed. 02:40.480 --> 02:47.240 All then, I like the helmet so that we can color it black, go into our color panel and 02:47.240 --> 02:50.480 see where the shapes are. 02:50.480 --> 02:58.880 Next, we'll select all three triangles holding Shift and hitting the Delete key. 02:58.880 --> 03:09.440 Now, if we double-click outside the helmet and zoom out, if we click and drag our helmet 03:09.440 --> 03:12.800 over, we'll see it's fully transparent. 03:12.800 --> 03:21.440 I'll hit Ctrl Z to undo this and finally, as one final addition, we'll go to our shapes, 03:21.440 --> 03:28.000 highlight the rectangle tool and we're going to be adding a rectangle background to our 03:28.000 --> 03:36.320 shape for release and you can color it whatever color you'd prefer. 03:36.320 --> 03:38.480 I'll leave mine this color. 03:38.480 --> 03:43.120 And we're going to now add it behind our helmet and glasses. 03:43.120 --> 03:51.880 To do this, we'll hit Ctrl Shift Open Brackets or we can drag it beneath and we'll see that 03:51.880 --> 03:58.280 our helmet is now transparent for the white areas and only is filled with black. 03:58.280 --> 04:05.600 Next, let's group the helmet and the background together using V on the keyboard and highlighting 04:05.600 --> 04:08.280 both the helmet and glasses as well as the background. 04:08.280 --> 04:24.760 We'll right-click, select Group and we'll rename this 16 midterm. 04:24.760 --> 04:28.320 As a final step, we'll now prepare to export this artboard. 04:28.640 --> 04:39.640 Let's hit Ctrl S on the keyboard to save our work and next we'll go to File, Save As. 04:39.640 --> 04:51.120 And from here, we're going to be renaming this midterm. 04:51.120 --> 05:00.160 On the drop-down menu for Save As type, we'll select Adobe PDF and in this case, we're 05:00.160 --> 05:06.400 going to change it from all for all the icons to simply a range. 05:06.400 --> 05:13.600 For our range, we'll remove one and we'll simply keep it at 16. 05:13.600 --> 05:19.800 This way, we'll be exporting just the 16th artboard with our customized helmet. 05:19.800 --> 05:30.320 We'll then hit Save and in this case, we'll go to the top, selecting the PDF preset and 05:30.320 --> 05:35.080 we'll select Smallest File Size. 05:35.080 --> 05:41.160 We'll then hit Save PDF, click OK. 05:41.160 --> 05:46.320 Letting us know that this PDF won't be able to be edited and we've now completed our 05:46.320 --> 05:47.920 midterm. 05:47.920 --> 05:52.080 Please upload this file to the portal for our grade. 05:52.080 --> 05:55.720 In the next videos, we'll be working on a postcard. 05:55.720 --> 05:56.080 See you there.
