In this post, I have the tutorial for you guys in which I will tell you that how you can make a large flex in the adobe illustrator.
In This article, I have used one of the coolest tools in the illustrator. You can use it anywhere because this technique is very good and save a lot of time as well. As you see that Illustrator provide you powerful tool to make an eye-catching design. Whenever you have any work for large scales such as signboard, big banners, large flex, or street boards etc.
First, you have to know about the exact size of the flex to design in illustrator. If you take the proper sizes of the flex then the design will be more accurate as well. For this flex that I have a design in the adobe illustrator I take 2 feets width and 4 feets height but in illustrator, I have taken it in inches so it should be about 24 inches width and 48 inches height.
In this previous tutorial, I have explained all the procedure step by step how I make the admission guide of the institute in adobe illustrator. Now I'm gonna tell you how that how you can make large flex in adobe illustrator.
This tutorial is on the demand of my students that they are facing issue while trying to make a large flex for there practice so I made this simple and eye-catching design for them which help them in real time and their issue will be solved with it.
Here is the large flex that I have made!
As you can see that this flex is larger in size as compared to the normal design. This flex is about 2x4 feet in size. To design such large flex you have to adjust and arrange each thing in a proper way to give a perfect look. This flex is design for the software house where I'm worked.
Let's talk about flex design!
First I have taken a stock image in the background and then take it according to the size of the flex and apply a gaussian blur on it. After taking its size then take a rectangle box exact to the size of the flex. Now after it selects both image and rectangle box and makes a clipping mask of it have a look, please!
Background!
After this image, I have taken a rectangle box with white and grey gradient and placed it in front of the image and reduce it's opacity about 80%. After applying it the background looks perfect so have a look at the image, please!
After setting the background of the flex I have designed the pattern in front of it and placed it perfectly and design inside the flex artboard and the bleed point have a look it!
Design and arrangement!
After it all the thing are designed and arranged in a perfect way, Logo is placed in the center and the name of the institute is written in the above of the logo and in the below of the logo contact no. website and email are written have a look at this image that after completing the design of it.
