Howdy there in this production video. A production video just means I'm not really doing anything new. I'm just gonna be filling in the holes for our design and you can watch or you can skip it along. It's all right. Okay. So this is what we're gonna get to at the end of this video.
We're gonna be putting in some texts and some colored boxes and, but we know how to put texts and color boxes in. So let's go and do that now. Cool. So first up is let's draw our little buttons on the top here. You could just leave them as text. Okay.
But what I wanna do is grab my rectangle tool, okay. And draw out kind of a button thing that fits in there. Now I'm gonna use my colors that we downloaded, okay? The BYOL portfolio colors. Okay? And what color do I want to be?
Yeah, that green's kind of cool. And I'm gonna right click him and say, uh, now before we went, arrange we send it back. If we send him to the back, goodbye. He's behind, uh, the navigation, kind of just see him there. So I've undone it. So edit, undo.
What I'm gonna do is there's an option in here that says arrange and send. Instead of send it back, which is all the way at the back, send it backwards, just back behind. Kind of like the guy in front of him. I'm gonna install this guy in here. Yeah, he's about the right size tip tap. And I'm gonna make a copy of this guy and keep them banged up together.
Am I? Might do. Okay. And, but I'm gonna use that kind of red color for it. Okay? I'm gonna right click, uh, a range.
So backwards sometimes there's a couple of guys in between and backwards doesn't work. Uh, you gotta keep going. Send backwards. You can see this is a shortcut. Send backwards. Okay, I'm gonna do that.
Okay. Till I work it all out. Great. So that guy needs to be in the center. Cool. So zoom out a little bit.
Command one. Okay. To get it to be actual size. Actually I'm gonna do that one more time. And I'm gonna put in my big, kind of like hero box at the top here. So I'm gonna turn on my guides again, gonna grab the rectangle tool and we're gonna look at images in a separate video.
Okay? But I'd bring in my image now, but we're just gonna put in a big colored box, send it to the back and look at putting in the rest of my type. So let's build it out. I'm gonna grab my type tool. I'm gonna drag out my box. It's gonna cover not exactly sure how many yet, but I definitely know it's, I got my text, my inspirational, amazing.
Hire me as a trainer, uh, or as a designer even. Okay? UX designer, great font size. I kind of like it. That's looking all right. It's gonna be white because I'm gonna put a reasonably dark image behind it.
Actually, it's gonna be that kind of off white that I've been using that off white's in here as well. They center color, so you can use either of them. Great. And what I wanna do is I probably want to insert it by, uh, one of these columns, okay? And you can do that in web design easy enough. You can say, leave that one empty and then start this text box a little bit further along.
Okay? I'm gonna have some little bit of type above that. I'm gonna leave that later in the tutorial. This guy needs to get a little bit lower. I'm using my black arrow just to drag it down a bit. I'm gonna put a white line underneath it, Y because I like the idea of it.
Okay? So I'm gonna give my line segment tool The moment doesn't really matter what kind of fill it has, but it definitely matters what color stroke we have. And I'm using that off white again. Okay? And I'm gonna click it across and it's gonna go across these. I'm gonna hold shift to make sure it goes straight.
And how many pixels? Probably just one pixel's gonna look fine. Remember, I turn the grids off on, on, just to get a sense of it all. Yeah. Like it there. Now I'm gonna do a button underneath.
It's gonna look exactly the same as this, so I'm gonna steal it, copy and paste it. You, and it's gonna be my like, call to action. Hire me please. Okay, so I'm gonna zoom in a little bit. Yep. Bit bigger.
I'm probably gonna use the same font size. Okay. And this one's gonna say let's talk. I think everyone writes things like, uh, let's get a coffee. Uh, let me help you. You can think of your own colloquial disarming version.
One thing I've noticed when I'm in here, can you see this is a stroke around the outside. So I've clicked on this. There's actually that off white around the outside of this. It's got the green fill, but I'm gonna turn the off white to a red line, which means it's got no stroke and it kind of lines up. Still doesn't line up perfectly, does it sometimes drag it off, dragging it back. That looks perfect now.
Lovely. Okay. Anything else I wanna do? No, that's kind of like got a lot of the core stuff that I want in there. And actually, one last thing while we're spending ages doing this is I'm gonna copy and paste that text, okay? And I'm gonna put it up here and there's a bit of copy that I want to go in there.
I am gonna have this little thing that says I'm currently available for work. I'm gonna use that yellowy color. Um, I'm gonna move it along and I'm gonna put in an ellipse here, like a little circle. I'm gonna put a tick in. We'll save the tick for later on because I'm gonna show you how to do that in the symbols, um, part of the video series. But for the circle hold, uh, hold down the rectangle tool.
Grab the ellipse tool, and if you just drag out a random one, it's gonna be okay. You'll probably wing it, okay? But if you hold down shift while you're dragging it out, it'll make it a perfect circle while you're driving. If you were driving, uh, it's been a long day. Okay? So, uh, it's gonna be a kinda a circle in here.
And, um, we're gonna fill it with this kind of like lighter green. It's gonna make more sense when we change this image out in the background. All right? Uh, command one. Everything's the right size, I think. I feel like it might be that circle's a bit big, but we'll change 'em later on.
Alright, uh, that's enough for the production video. Let's go off and start doing the next bit.
