INFOGRAPHIC SERIES - SCREWDRIVER

4/10/2016

After a nice sunny weekend of working on the house and cars, I decided to build a screwdriver icon. Simple and quick, this is the perfect tool to build.
Picture

Picture
Start with a rectangle, fill it with a color. No stroke.
Picture
Select the two lower points with the Direct Selection Tool and pull in the corner widgets to create a rounded end on the bottom. Do the same process on the top edges of the rectangle, just slightly less curve than the bottom corners.
Picture
Draw another rectangle, fill it with gray and no stroke. This becomes the shaft. 
Picture
Duplicate the gray rectangle and make it short for the tip.

Picture
Make the end of the shape wider at one end using the Direct Selection Tool to move the end points outward.
Picture
Duplicate and flip the new shape and line then up to the existing shape.
Picture
Change the color of the lower shape to a slightly darker color to add dimension. 
Picture
Duplicate the shaft and make it narrower. Fill it with a lighter color than the handle

Picture
Use the Direct Selection Tool to select the shape and round the ends.
Picture
Line the shapes up to create the handle.
Picture
​
And here is the finished product.
