I was working in Illustrator CS3 when I came across this new tool called live color. Live color makes it easy to change a very elaborate color scheme into a one or two color design. A task that would be very time consuming is turned into a simple yet effective way to change the colors in your design. Also the really great thing about this tool is that you can take design made with cmyk or rgb colors and turn the design into a spot color layout. So if your client comes to you with some clipart that is done in cymk and asks to have it printed as a orange spot color layout you can have it done in seconds. Don’t tell the client that. Tutorial after the jump…obviously there is more to this tool so go and mess around with it.
