simple and easy to follow the illustrator typography tutorial brought
to you by Satori graphics
what is up people welcome back to satori graphics home of redesign content
if you new here welcome I employed five graphic design videos Monday to Friday
every single week so subscribe to keep updated if you enjoy my content if you
have already subscribed to remember the turn on in notifications so you never
miss an upload we start off with our typography illustrator you can use
custom hand lettering with a tablet or you can use a typeface I'm using
mostarda oh and the link is in the description below for the download
because I need to create the outlines of the lettering and you're probably going
to see a zillion blue anchor points it's completed knowing when you want to edit
your typography for a logo design in Illustrator so head up to the top and
simplify the lettering like so lastly within unpretty to letter so you can
edit and move them individually
go ahead and make all of you head--it are moving the letters and changing
anchor points in the white direct selection tool here's my typography
lettering I just made a few changes once you happy you will need to open up the
appearance window as well as a pathfinder window for the next page of
this illustrator typography tutorial
select all of your letters and then using your no option in the past sign
the window this will now join together all of your letters into one shape in
the appearance window click the arrow in the top right corner and add a new
stroke we then will need to click and drag the stroke below the fill layer and
it will click the fill layer and add the whites as a color option I want to show
you quickly why I'm using the appearance window to add a stroke and not stand the
stroke the top typography lettering is the one we've just made the one below is
some typography where we use the standard stroke in the color palette you
can clearly see the difference even if we go in to add a fill to the bottom
option the stroke will not be as fluid and as appealing visually as the one
above anyway icon with the illustrator typography tutorial you can adjust the
weight of the stroke in different window here once you're happy into effect
stylize and drop shadow
we want to have a 100% opacity and a 0% blur the other settings you can adjust
whatever you think's best for your design I'm quickly going to go through a
second method that will work on color backgrounds or your lettering logo
design I have two text layers on this design the top one is the same as we've
just made or without the drop shadow and the third is black and the stroke is
white then the bottom layer I have the same texture located only with a white
fill and no stroke you can then place in a position and edit the bottom layer
this is the rec selection tool it's letting you have more control with the
shadow than the drop shadow effects that we added before
