hectic here I'm also thinking to do my

Texas cacciatore or create a new
document in Illustrator and then type
out your text and then create the
outlines of the text grab your reader
tool and press Shift + C on your
keyboard and then will be beta to hold
down shift and click and drag to create
a perfect horizontal line across your
text and in group you tags and delete
the bottom section and select let's do a
shapes and hit command G or ctrl G on a
PC to group everything together then
with the tank selected we're going to
select the free transform option they
can edit the corners so that the tank
seems to be on a flat surface like Sarah

your keyboard and then make a rectangle
across the entire word and send it to

color that you want to use for your
illustrator text effect
contains text layer two wipes with the
pen tool make a line across the bottom
of your text and then grab the white
arrow tool a key the direct selection
tool and directly into the line to the
edges of the artboards
make sure the line runs perfectly along
the bottom of your text
once you've done that and use the pencil
again to continue the line around the
artboard and make a triangle shape at
the bottom a gradient fill to the
triangle you select the triangle by
clicking off of the artboard and then
use the eyedropper tool to select the
color of the background it will click
the color in the color palette and then
highlight the color code and hit command
C or control C on a PC to copy it now
select the gradient triangle and in the
gradient window that will click one of
the color cells make sure it's set to
RGB here and then paste in the color
code do the same on the other side of
the gradient tool and in the same color
cell go back in and change it to CMYK
and put up the black slider a little bit
using the pen tool click the corner text
and hold down shift to make a perfectly
straight line vertically like there
I forgot to draw a guide from the rulers

them use alt on your keyboard to
duplicate the bottom right triangle move
into place we need to bring it to the
front to make our illustrator text
effect complete take the direct
selection tool and they did the triangle
so that it fearfully fits on the outward

color over the background you have just
a few finishing touches to make now
we're going to add a lighting effect on
the bottom triangle duplicate the shape
and then place it over the top add a
gradient fill and then change both sides
to white I make one side of the gradient
0% opacity and the other side set to
something like 20%
