You can see what my letters look like with their corresponding envelopes below. Step 3Ĭontinue defining the yellow letter shape for each envelope. Repeat this technique on the other envelopes. Delete the non-intersecting portion of the yellow rectangle so you're only left with a small triangle from the yellow rectangle. Using the Shape Builder Tool, select the portion of the yellow rectangle that intersects with the inside of the envelope. Select the first envelope and its overlapping rectangle. I decided to go with seven rectangles for my design. The goal is to have the rectangle move upward in even increments as it's opening.

How to Create a Letter Step 1ĭraw a light-yellow rectangle and Copy and Paste it over each envelope. Make sure each envelope is grouped separately so that they'll be easy to import into Adobe Photoshop later. You can check out the placement of the triangles and their anchor points below. In the end, including the closed and open envelopes, I have nine envelopes for my animated icon. We'll continue duplicating each envelope and moving the triangle upward until it's back to the starting point again. Duplicate this envelope group and pull the lighter triangle's lower point upward a bit so the envelope looks as if it's opening more. Use the Direct Selection Tool to grab the top triangle's top anchor point and drag it downward until it almost completely covers the dark triangle. How to Create Different Forms of the Envelope Step 1ĭuplicate the open envelope. Group (Control-G) each of your envelope's components. Our goal in the next section is to create several iterations of envelopes that bridge the gap between the closed envelope and the open envelope for our final animation. Now you should have two envelopes: one open and one closed. For the sake of this demonstration, my lines are missing from the design below, but they'll be used in the final version. Rotate (R) it to create the opening of the envelope, and set the fill color to a darker blue. Select the triangle while holding Alt, and drag out a duplicate of the triangle. Draw a triangle from one top corner to the other for the opening of the envelope. Step 3Ĭopy (Control-C) and Paste (Control-V) the envelope design. Expand your strokes under Object, and use the Shape Builder Tool (Shift-M) to select the non-intersecting portions of the lines from the rectangle in order to delete them. Step 2ĭraw two lines either with the Pen Tool or the Line Segment Tool (/) that meet near the center of the envelope. Use the Pen Tool (P) to draw a stroked line in medium blue that defines the opening of the envelope. Select the bottom two anchor points with the Direct Selection Tool (A), and pull the Live Corners inward to round out those two corners. With the Rectangle Tool (M), draw a light-blue rectangle. I'll be using Adobe Illustrator CC, but you can easily adapt these techniques and designs to earlier versions. How to create camera animation componentsĬreate a New Document in Adobe Illustrator.
