Cover paper with a sheet of sketch paper or a towel. Using an iron set on medium low, gently rub over the entire surface. Adjust heat up as needed to allow the dampness on the back of the paper to relax the paper fibers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you flatten a logo?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Youtube video link: https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?v=uI9Njs79Mk0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I flatten everything in Illustrator?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To flatten layers, click the name of the layer into which you want to consolidate the artwork.

Well, outline stroke is a simple way to convert a path with a thick stroke into an object and then use it as a building block in your designs.
