Today's tutorial I will be showing you how to make an iphone in adobe Illustrator
this is very easy to do, not tricky at all

1. Make a round Rectangle

Start of with a rectangle make its length longer then its width just like the iphone
Now give it a gray fill of your choice. I used this gray  #A7A9AC. 


Now give it a gray stroke. I used #D1D3D4. The stroke size should be 1 pt if it isnt already.

Where going to select the rectangle and now go to effect, stylize, round corners.


you should now see a little menu come up for you to type in the point size. Put 10.


Your Rectangle should become like this now


2. Copy

Copy the Rectangle we just made(CTR+V)

now the copy change its fill to black, and change its stroke to none.
the stroke is at the bottom left(see pic)

Now make the copy a little smaller then the original(see pic)
place the copy above the original(black fill should bee in front)


3. Add screen

Make a small square and place it in the middle of the iphone. It should be in front of the black rectangle. Give the square a dark gray fill. #414042


4. Buttons

Where going to first make the design that looks like a half circle

You can either use a brush tool to draw it manually or you can do it my way

Here's my way of doing it, start of with 2 small circle like in the photo
you can make 1 and then copy it. Give one of the small circles a dark gray fill(# 6D6E71)

the other circle give it a black fill.

now move the black circle above the gray circle so the gray circle can become like a half circle design.


Now just move that design onto the iphone below the gray screen we made before. The black circle should blend into the background. Like this


Now where going to make a small round rectangle.

Start of with a small rectangle, then go to effect, stylize, round corners.
Change the Point to 1.

Now select the small rectangle and change its fill to none and its stroke to dark grey(#6D6E71)


Now make a small rectangle it should look like a line. You can use a line if u want to.

give it a fill dark grey(#6D6E71)

place it at the top of the iphone and in the center(see pic)

YOU SHOULD BE DONE
your iphone should look like this photo

Make a rectangle just like the picture by going to the left panel and click on round rectangle

If you dont know how to make a round rectangle, go to the menu button shown in the picture below the T

Remember to set the stroke to none, the stroke is at the bottom left, to set it to none just click on the little square that has a red line going through it. (see pic below for example)




I gave a tutorial about how to use gradients,

Just drag out the gradient menu located at the right panel and keep the swatches menu open (see pic below)

then click on the radial gradient(see pic) and then select the dark blue(see pic) drag it to the black arrow, and then select the light blue and drag it to the white arrow(see pic)

Your circle should change from black fill to a blue gradient fill like the below pic



3. Erase parts of rectangle

Your now going to erase parts of the rectangle, go to the erase tool on the left panel(see pic) and then click on it and erase parts of the rectangle to make the rectangle become 3 seperate parts

Hold down the shift key to erase in a straight line

now select the left part move it a little close to the middle

now select the right part and move it a little close to the middle




Use the brush tool to draw a curved line, the curved line should look like the pic below and set its stroke to the same dark blue like before



5. Font trick

This is a trick to add to whatever font you used

I used Sony Sketch font, I downloaded it but you can use whatever font you want
Download Here

Now for your first font, type out cuisine or you can use whatever name you want

then click on the font and set it stroke to none and its fill, it should now become invisible
go to the appearance menu on the right panel(see pic) it looks like a circle with a black fill

then after that click on the upside down arrow with the lines by it on the right of the menu, then click add new fill(see pic)

then on the add new fill click on the blue upside down arrow and then on the radial gradient like the one from before
and drag and drop the same colors used from before light blue and dark blue for the

remember dark blue goes on the black arrow
light blue goes on the white arrow



Now where going to type the word international using whatever cursive hand writing font you have, I used
choping script which I download
download here

Rememeber type I in capital and the rest lower case

give the word international a medium blue fill, its next to the light blue fill from before(see pic)



6. Add the flames

Type the letter S, I used the font Myriad pro and give it a  blue fill any way you like then click on it and right click and arrange and send to back

make 2 copies and you should now have 3 S remember to send them to back and place them on top of the middle part of the round rectangle(see pic)


You logo should look like this below here
