typography tricks in Adobe Illustrator
this first typography trick in adobe illustrator is great for magazines flyers
and other editorial designs we are going to wrap typography text around a vector
soldier here the first thing we need to do is to grab the type tool or press T
on your keyboard for the shortcut and then click and drag to make a box I've
copied some text online for the purposes of this tutorial but you can type your
text directly into this box if you do paste in however hit command or control
V this is now a very crucial step in the
process click you object so mines going to be the soldier guy here and bring it
to the very front like so we want the typography to be behind the
object read at the table could be text press command or ctrl T to open up the
character window here we can change the space between the lettering ie the
kerning change the letting the font size and even the font type will you object
selected go to object text wrap and text wrap options I'm showing this window
here because we're going to be using it again soon now go back up to objects and
text route but select make as you can see it's made a small gap here but we
can make this a lot better by going in the detects wrap options menu that I
showed you just now for then type in something like 40 points you see how
much better typography trick effect is
also you can move your object around and the effect will still work anywhere on
your typography text
in this next typography trick in adobe illustrator we're going to make a
cool-looking typography logo in two minutes flat you want a very tall font
and I personally feel that sans-serif fonts work best for this trick and by
the way that's a fun who has no feet on it I've chosen go bold hi for my text
with your typography selected in a really straighter go to effect warp and
then bulge
you then simply adjust a slider into you're happy and the trick is to get
attacks into a kind of circle shape
once you've added the fact with typography you can still edit and even
change the font in the character window
now with the ellipse tool hold down shift and click and drag to make a
perfect circle add a color to the circle and I'm going to use eyedropper tool to
take a white from the canvas onto my typography then bring your typography
over to the circle and you need to bring the text layer to the front finally you
can select part of the typography with the type tool and change the opacity for
a better effect
for the last typography trick in a day bill astray - I'm going to show you a
quick effect you can make using the blend tool on your typography use the
rectangle tool to make a color background and then lock it in place or
doesn't move around
I'm using a phone called lemon milk but you can use whatever phone you think it
looks best for your typography trick design
type out your word or phrase and then resize it by holding down shift and
clicking and dragging
you then need to hold down the alt/option key and click interact to
duplicate a typography we all need his copy later on the original text flick
the filler bit to a stroke and increase his stroke way if need be then duplicate
it down along the canvas in Adobe Illustrator
select both copies attacks on the canvas by clicking over them and then go up to
object blend and blend options you need to choose specified steps and you can
experiment how many steps you want to use but I'm going to use 30 once you've
done that go back up to object and blend but this time click make now if you
bring you the typography object over on top perfectly our cool typography trick
