Photoshop: Vectors & Shapes for Beginners – Class Introduction from Ben Halsall on Vimeo.

Hello! In this class you will develop your knowledge of working with the vector shape tools. The great advantage of designing with shapes is that they are 100% scaleable. This means that you can design something for the size of a postage stamp but scale up that design to a large billboard poster.

What You’ll Learn

You will learn the essential skills you need to create, manipulate and combine shapes in Adobe Photoshop. This lesson is one of several classes I’ve created about the shape tools in Photoshop but it is the most in depth. If you only have a few minutes to play you might want to check out my ‘Pen Tool Abstracts’ or ‘Create Nodes’ classes which give you an insight into what is possible.

What is covered:
Setting Up a Project
Creating Basic Shapes Like Rectangles & Circles
Aligning Shapes & Creating Grids
Rotating & Scaling Shapes
Modifying & Transforming with the Direct Selection Tool
Duplicating Shapes
Combining Shapes with the Pathfinder Tools
Creating Arrows
Creating Banners
Create a Perspective Grid
Create a Heart Shape
Create a Teardrop Shape
Create Custom Frames
Using Built in Shapes
Type as Shapes

My Video

This was a fun tutorial. You can see the animation I created from the code below along with Alexander’s tutorial and my version of the code below.

 

Alexander’s Processing Tutorial

 

 

My Code


// y = 5x

// x = 5t
// y = 3t +3

static final int NUM_LINES = 200;

float t;

void setup() {
background(20);
size(1920, 1080);
}

void draw() {
background(20);
stroke(255);
strokeWeight(1);

translate(width/2, height/2);
for (int i = 0; i < NUM_LINES; i++) {
line(x1(t + i), y1(t + i), x2(t + i), y2(t + i));
}
// point(x1(t), y1(t));
// point(x2(t), y2(t));
t++;

}

float x1(float t) {
return sin(t / 10) * 300 + sin(t / 15) * random(20,40);
}

float y1(float t) {
return cos(t / 10) * 200;
}

float x2(float t) {
return sin(t / 10) * 400 + sin(t) * 2;
}

float y2(float t) {
return cos(t / 20) * 450 + cos(t / 12) * random(30,50);
}

Thinking about investing in a new MacBook Pro? One of the major new features is the touch bar. I’ve been excited to explore how it might fit into my editing workflow and recently had the chance to check it out using an emulator.

For those that don’t have Photoshop or another professional image editing application then Microsoft Paint may be your tool of choice for resizing editing and creating content for your web-site or video. Although paint is limited it does have some pretty handy features for resizing, cropping and can export out all the image formats you need to maintain transparency (PNG) or for maintaing
