Illustrator help

Question

Hello folks,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for these sort of questions so apologies in advance if it's out of place. I have what I'm hoping is a couple of simple questions to get answers to as I have no Illustrator experience. I'm designing some labels and I'd like to get a black stripe going between the blue and red lines. It needs to be between the blue and red lines. I'm looking to have these stripes go horizontially only i.e. the top and bottom of the label.

Since I'd like to have this done to more labels, can you please provide instructions on how I can accomplish this? I'm not looking for assistance with just this one file in particular but more so guidance on how can I achieve this so I can apply this to other labels.

Also, you may notice that I have a box in the bottom left center stating 'keto friendly'. I know I can resize the box. However, is there a way to figure out the dimensions of the box so I can apply it to other such boxes I will be including? I'm looking to avoid manually having to resize every similar box I include and automate this to the extent possible.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Hi Grant_H,

As you can tell from my line of questions, I'm super novice at all this. I managed to figure out where to find the 'type on a path options' but I can't get any further than that. I can't create a symmetrical circile and get the circle's border to be black.

After getting a lousy circle to form, I then got the must click on a non-compound, non-masking path error when I tried writing the '100%' using the type on a path options.

Any chance you can add the 100% to the file or share instructions in how to do this please?

Thank you

Hi Johnny, I suggest that you search for beginner tutorials just to get the basics of illustrator and to get you on the right track and what the different tools are and how to use them. How to apply strokes, create circle etc.

But here is a quick vid i made to hopefully get you going...

Hi, lets start with one thing at a time so we can understand exactly what you need done.1. What blue and red lines? Are you talking about the trim box and art box?/G
