ILLUSTRATOR
We began by talking about CMYK AND RGB , When we have the full colours of them all we get KEY - Black.
The CMYK color model (process color, four color) is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black).
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colours. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colours, red, green, and blue.
SWATCHES
In the swathes palette to start with theres a group of default colours.
we first deleted all the swatches because we are going to put our own set of colours in there.
We next clicked on the 'all unused' option in the drop down menu and this selected all of the colours in the swatch palette.
We were left with the first colour i had used we also removed that so we were just left with the default white grey and black.
We also selected small mist view so we could change the view of our swatch palette
We clicked on new swatch and this box appeared.
we changed it to CYMK
We then created a new swatch
we made our own swatches
clicked okay then the colour appeared in our swatches palette
we created shapes and coloured them with our swatches
we added all the used colours
This happened...
we next double clicked on our original colours and the box popped up , these are only local colours
we then double clicked on our added swatches and they are global colours.
Global means if we edit one of the colours all the colours are the same. Global also allows you to work with tint.
TINTS
we made new tints by selecting our global colours moving the different colour sliders and created new swatch
If this swatch is edited it edits any object that has that colour. Make 'global changes with in the document
Colour palette now allows us to create varying tints of the global colour.
Then when you select a global colour you go on swatch options and when edited it changes all the colours
PANTONE
we opened up some colour pantones
They appeared in this box we selected the PANTONE + Solid Coated.
We typed in 123 C and selected the colour , NEVER change the name of the code because when you go to print there will be no reference and it wont work.
The pantone 123 appeared in our swatches panel
We saved the save swatches from our old document and we created a new document.
We then in our new document clicked open swatch libary and user defined and there was our saved swatch.
We next saved our swatches as a ASE abobe swatch exchange and this transfers the swatches from illustrator into photoshop or other programmes.
When opening photoshop go to the swatches pannel and then loads swatches. We find the load swatches in user work..
