today here at Satori graphics we're going to embark on an illustrator minimal
text design tutorial so follow along and make this cool text design in Adobe
Illustrator what is up people welcome back to Satori graphics the home of
graphic design content right here on YouTube let's waste no time today and
jump into this illustrator minimal text design tutorial the font I'm using here
for the minimal text design is called go bold
we need to duplicate the text by holding down the alt option key and then move
them off to the side choose a color for your background prefers to make a block
at the top of the canvas because we needs later
we'll see background on the canvas send it to the back and then lock it in place
with the stroke selected only use the pen tool to make a vertical line you can
hold down the shift key to make sure it's perfectly vertical
we want to retain the line by 315 degrees so it slants like so again use
the alt option key to duplicate this many more times like I'm doing here and
then align them more with the same two settings that I'm using in the alignment
Oh
this is where you should change the stroke color as we won't be able to do
that later in the text design tutorial
with all of your line selected outline the stroke and then group them all
together by hitting command G or control G for PC users open the Pathfinder
window and then bring the lines over the top of your text you then need to
ungroup your text
select the lines and copy them by hitting command C or control C you will
now want to make sure that the line selection has been sent at the back and
then select the lines and one latter use the crop option in the Pathfinder window
if you then press command F for control F it will paste back into place
like so and then send them to the back again and repeat the process over and
over
once you have your line section for the minimal text design group them together
and then bring them to the front bring it over onto your canvas and then drag
the second sample of texts and bring it to the front
we need the appearance panel open for the next part of this text design
tutorial select the blue block at the top and then copy the color code by
hitting command or control C then in the appearance window add a new stroke and
drag it below the fill layer you can then click the stroke color and paste
the color code in so it matches the background layer add a color to the fill
and then adjust a stroke to whatever you feel looks best
so here I've made another design where I used the same method as we did in the
tutorial the font of the lower part attacks is shown here so have some fun
