Then use the white arrow to mess about with it. Okay, so do your Live Rrace, get it how you want, and then click expand. And you're like I wanna change this color, but it's been used throughout your huge design. Now, we've dome it for this Live Rrace, but that slick, same color I use quite a bit through Illustrator when I'm doing maybe a design, maybe it's a website design, or something like that. Click off from the background, it's a nice, quick way for doing that. Now I can go to my fill and I can say you are now pink. And it will go through the whole document and find that color. Then go up to select, I would like Illustrator to select everything that has the same fill color, cool? It's a cool, little trick. If it's not working just click off from the background first then back on it. Say you wanna change all of the blue you'd be there for a long time, right? So what you can do is click on one of them with the wire. Cool? What you also might do is let's say we've got this kind of accent color in his shirt, if you click on one of them. Move the white arrow it removes little pieces and I can delete it, or I'm gonna put it back, I'm gonna grab this chunk and check this out. And lets go to the white arrow and now we can say click on his shirt once and then drag it over. And nothing really changed, except now what I can do is, remember black arrow moves everything around in one big go. All right, so it hasn't made a blue outline just cuz it's selected, so click off from the background. With it selected is the word expand over here. The trouble is that you can't have all these presets anymore, so that's the kind of tradeoff.
There's a similar sort of process for this.
So what we need to do, kind of like what we did with, remember the envelope distort, where we had just the straight lines? Okay, there were rectangles, then we had to eventually go up to object and go to expand appearance. If I rescale it down now, it's gonna freak out, okay. And it can really stress your machine out when you try to adjust things. Cuz there's gonna be a time where you're like, actually I wanna, cuz what happens with Live Trace it's this effect that always kinda running. Okay, so couple of things I wanna show you before you go off and start practicing with all of these. So there's some really cool stuff around here. Let's go to six colors, and then we'll do one more before we go. So, let's go through and pick one of the other presets. The trouble with them is that they do take a while once you do click on one of them. Along the top here are some other kind of presets you can click on. I can decide whether it's black and white or gray scale. And what you can do you can see here I can adjust the colors, okay.
Actually, yours is probably looking a little bit more like that. But let's say you like this but we just wanna change it a little bit. We'll go through one or two more later in the class. I'm not gonna go through them all because it says it takes a long time. It has used colors from the document to make them. But it's pretty cool it's gone through and turned this into a three-color document. So you might have to just relax and let it do its thing, and come back after a cup of tea. If you've got a hand-me-down laptop, and your computer starts making funny noises, and the fans come on, and it starts overheating, just know that's real common, it's quite a stressful thing it has to do. That took maybe another 60 seconds or so. It's still gonna take quite a while, so I'll get the editor to speed this up. Mine's pretty good high core machine, in terms of a laptop. So with it selected with your black arrow, head over here in your quick actions, there's this option called Live Trace. Okay, it will just resize it if it comes in nice and big. Now, it's very easy just to click hold and drag this out so it fits within your page. File place In your exercise files, grab the one called Live Trace and let's click place. And lets go to file, and place and image. All right, to get started just create a blank document, okay, any old size. No matter what you wanna do, it's all pretty easy. And then we did this handsome man into a bit of a stencil and then we made it white and it get's all creepy. Took an image, made it kind of like a three-color screen-print style. I'll zoom out a bit and turn them into cool stuff like that. We're gonna take regular old images like this guy. This image we're going to create kind of a vector poster effect.
