Description:

In this week s free Deke s Techniques, Deke finally(!) finishes his pool hall clock by using Adobe Illustrator to construct the minute and second hands out of pure rectangles which magically turn into pool cues. So here s where we left off last week with our pool balls representing the ours of the interminable days. The first cue/hand begins with a simple rectangle:Next, Deke makes a custom gradient to add the color and roundness of the wood. Next, an ellipse added at the tip begins establishes the tip:And then Deke joins the far corner points of the original rectangle to the new tip:The other end is rounded off using some carefully placed points and the Rounded Corner feature in Illustrator: The banded colors of our cue are supplied by rectangles of varying colors and opacity, using the original shape to mask to trim the colored rectangles. And finally, it s three o clock, pool time!If you re a member of LinkedIn Learning then Deke s got an exclusive movie in which he shows you how to create another clock hand and precisely set the time to 3:53.
