different ways you can edit your text
in adobe illustrator to make some really
cool looking typography so we have a
standard type in illustrator that you want
to have the exact font is the name i'm
sure you can find it on google if you
want to download their first look at
using the direct selection called edited
hype and create outlines it will turn
your text into a path and just object
and ungroup two separate individuals
you cannot take the white our selection
pool and Eddie are tech along the past
in administrator
if you hold down shift and click x rated
you can get a signal in general she
decides like
now we're going to look at using the
pathfinder window to make our texts with
more unique and cool just needed to
follow edits i've already created my
lines and ungroup all of the letters as
you can see here if you want the guys to
keep things level to command our secret
rulers and then dragged him from there
from here head of the window and open
the path finder menu
i'm going to use the test and this team
an example I was slow to us and bring it
to the front of the layers
anything inappropriate letter or hold
down alt and drag to duplicate there
once you've done that hold down shift
and click to select those of the layers
and then in the pathfinder window select
my friends now when you place this back
you have this cool new effects
I'll quickly show you one more time with
the EU and they'll follow along using
the same process as before
getting called we're going to use the
pathfinder once again to create another
effect that's just cool you can copy a
letter by hitting command C or
duplicated like we did before we want to
have the tail end of the you only even
enter and create shape that has a tail
like this
hold down shift select open new shapes
and leather and in the past and the
window to the intercept option to make a
little city go to the object and then
offset path
ok
you must use the round option that you
can see it looks better this way I
destroyed similar to mine here I this is
in fact now two shapes for anyone to
select them both and unite them in the
pathfinder window
position selected highlight the adjacent
letter and make sure that shaped above
the letter in the layers option you want
to minus the front you cannot command V
to paste the letter back moving into
position
use the direct selection tool between of
any point shapes that we do not want
