14. Use what you learned in previous exercises to create a locked group named
Campfire for the final icon artwork.

In this case you do not need to create a separate group for the icon because it is already
combined in the Compound Path object.

15. Save the file and continue to the final exercise.

The client has decided that the icons should be white artwork on green backgrounds,
so the final step in this exercise requires changing the colors of both the background
shapes and the icon artwork. This is a fairly easy process, but because each of the icons
are grouped, it will require a few extra steps.

1. With icons.ai open, change your view percentage so you can see all the
artwork in the file.
2. In the Layers panel, unlock all layers and sublayers in the file.

3. Choose the Selection tool, then click the picnic table artwork.

Because the artwork is grouped, the Selection tool selects the entire group. You need to
use a different method to select only certain elements within the group.

The smaller icon indicates
that only some objects on
the layer (or in the group)
are selected.
The large icon indicates
that the entire group is
selected.

Clicking with the Selection
tool selects the entire group.

4. Click anywhere outside the rectangle shapes to deselect the group, then
choose the Direct Selection tool in the Tools panel.
The Direct Selection tool selects pieces of an object — specific paths, anchor points,
or individual elements in a grouped object.
