today I will show you how to make a gold
text effect in Illustrator with a very
straightforward and easy tutorial
welcome back people is Tom here with Satori
graphics bringing you another tutorial
remember i have tutorials every Tuesday
speed of videos on Thursday and the
bonus video on sunday so subscribe to
keep updated let's jump right into this
tutorial type your text ideally with a
thick font and then the text selected
you up to type and create outlines which
is still selected to go down to here and
hit the gradient icon which will add a
gradient field to our texts we needed to
be even throughout the entire weird to
take the gradient tool here and draw a
line over the entire wear it in the
green window we will add four different
colors all you need to do is type in the
CMYK values i use and follow along the
first one is going to be white so just
leave it as 000 click add a new color
here and sell its location 250 per cents
the CMYK values are going to be zero
2990 and 17 add a new color just to the
left of this about it add in the values
of 0 7 30 8 and 10 make sure the
gradient blend between the two is even
looks okay
the last color should have values of 0 8
50 and 55
great
that is our main color finished i'm
going to add a black background so it
can see the effects are going to make
next a lot easier
you will now add a stroke to our gold
text giving it more 3d and more robust
look take this drug palette and add a
gradient this time we really need two
colors
the first one has values from 0 3090 and
17
the second one needs to be set to 0 this
being 65 and 20 and just the weight of
your strips or whatever you feel looks
best
there that's the basic look for our gold
text now we need need to add two more
effects that were really set off the
design select white in the color palette
and then create a circle with the
ellipse tool
with the circle selected going to affect
blur and Gaussian Blair
between your values so that the blur is
something similar to mine here this will
act as a glimpse of a light shining off
of your gold your head and create as
many of these as you want as you can see
i added one Clint effects to one letter
one last effect and then we are finished
select your text and go up to affect
style eyes and outer glow i have used a
light golden color with the values of
7-10 65 + 0 have used a 75-percent of
pasty you can play around with that and
use whatever you think is best
and there are done creating a goal text
