in today's Illustrator tutorial I have
two very quick Illustrator text effects
links in the description for the two
resources that we're going to use for
today's text effects tutorial
what is up people welcome back to Satori
graphics if you haven't been already
subscribe and turn on your notifications
to give up today with all of my 5
graphic design uploads per week the
first thing we need to do for this dope
Illustrator text effect is to download some vectors
link is in a description for
this exact splatter vector the fact that
we're making these text effects in illustrator
means that the finished design will
retain quality at any scale unlike in
pixels
once you've downloaded the vector open
in Illustrator next use the rectangle
tool to make a dark shape across the
entire board then lock the shape so it
cannot be moved around we wrap the text
tool and type in your text and switching
over to a white fill to our text effects
I have the typeface here on screen and
this is a link in the description below
for the download the next part of this
illustrator tutorial requires that you
create outlines of your text like so I
only do this after you're happy with
what your text content actually says
these vectors are all separate shapes
you can highlight various shapes and hit
command G or ctrl G on a PC let's group
them together
I dragged it back to over to your canvas
with the text on it and use the
eyedropper tool to change it to white
and a place where you want to
you can hold down shift to resize it
proportionally I'm just going to show
you this one more time you go ahead and
add as many vectors u1 to your
illustrator text effect
you want to engrave a group Victor this
is how you do it you were then able to
edit a movie shape around easily we
almost finished with today's illustrator
tutorial now you need to open up the
Pathfinder window
I like the entire text effects design
and then unite them with this option in
the Pathfinder window
I'll down Alt + T to this icon up here
and then click and drag to duplicate a
text send the backwards one layer but
not fully to the back
then hold down shift and also at the
same time was clicking and dragging to
enlarge a little bit we can lower the
opacity down and this will complete our
first of two Illustrator text effects in today
tutorial
the second text effect we need to add a
gradient to our fill like so change the
colors we graded however you want to I
added the fifth color in the middle like
so I made a gradient from green to
yellow to cyan you need to that doesn't
recognize all shapes as one fluid
gradient we can change that so let me
babe thanks effect and then select the
gradient tool here hold down shift and
then click and drag along your entire
alliterated text effect now you notice
the gradient covers the entire text
effect in one fluid direction so it is
you into a money literature tutorial on
how to make dope text effects
