in a vector file format.
AI, EPS or PDF
So that they are crisp and scalable.
There are a couple of things we need to do
before we create the final versions.
Firstly, we want to make sure that all of our type
is converted to outlines so that there's no possibility
of missing fonts or anyone editing the type.
Of course, you should retain an original version
with the editable type.
But for the public versions, you should think
about the type as a picture.
Something that cannot be changed.
Type menu, create outlines.
Secondly we will want to expand all live effects.
Look what happens here when I scale this logo
that uses a live effect.
You can see how the relationship of the type
to the symbol is disrupted.
So I am now going to come and select that,
come to the Object menu and chose Expand Appearance.
Now when I scale it, the relationship
of objects is maintained.
I have three variants of the logo here.
The basic logo, the logo with tagged line and
a reverse version.
I want to export them all in one go as separate Artboards.
For this reason, I'll be exporting or saving as EPS.
Firstly, I need to define my three separate Artboards.
Each of these logos is surrounded by a white rectangle.
An opaque white rectangle because the logo
should not have a transparent background.
If we take a look at the layers panel
I've expanded each of the groups and at the bottom
of each of the groups is that white rectangle.
If I convert this white rectangle to an art board,
it disappears.
So what I need to do is select those white rectangles
and then I am going to create a new layer above everything
and I'm going to copy those white rectangles
to that new layer.
Holding down option or alt and dragging up, then with
them still selected I'll come to the object menu
chose Artboards, convert to Artboards.
I'll now come to my Artboards panel where
I have four Artboards, Artboard number one actually
surrounds two, three and four.
So we don't need that, and we can delete it.
Now I'll come and Save As, and save this in EPS format.
Look what happens when I switch from AI to EPS,
I get the option of using Artboards.
I'll click save, I'll just move through these options,
I'll leave the version at Illustrator CC EPS
with an 8-bit TIFF preview.
Now if take a look at the resulting files in bridge,
I have one that contains all three of those
and then I have them broken down individually.
And I can just rename these so that it's clear
to my client exactly what they are.
