using custom hand lettering you'll be
designing some custom typography in
Illustrator in today's tutorial
it's tom with satori graphics back again with
another graphic design tips video I'm
going to walk you through my process of
designing some custom typography
in illustrator, to make this hand
lettering i use the Wacom tablet and
then I use illustrator to add details
there's a card in the top right corner
that's just a similar process you don't
need to use custom and lettering to make
this design however you can use standard
funds but make sure to create the
outlines of your funds by going up to
type and create outlines at the top of
illustrator you will need to open our
appearance window as well as the
Pathfinder window as we were using both
of these tools in this tutorial
let every part of your text and then in
the pathfinder window so let's unite in
the parents window in the top right and
add a new stroke directly stroke behind
the field layer in the same window and
switch to fill over to a gradient right
here now back in the appearance window
add a way to your stroke to look similar
to mine here if you didn't have your
grading window open you can access it
here we can now edit our gradient to our
fill I'm going to use a blue gradient
instead of orange this time
here we can change the angle of our
gradient i'm going to use 90 degrees I'm
quickly going to change the shade of
blue of my gradient from here hold down
alt until you see this icon appear and
duplicate layer the stroke and the text
is all on one layer now so you have two
layers in total on the new layer click
the stroke over to a still like so and
then send it to the bag once you have
the max load both layers and align them
perfectly in place
you want to access the bottom layers to
lock the top layer now it is blogs you
can sled the bottom layer and add a
thicker way to the stroke as you do you
will see emerge from behind once you
happy go to unlock all layers and then
you can move around the text which will
still be two layers remember
now just some quick finishing touches
select the white color stroke and they
fill along with the pen tool make one
shoreline along one side where you would
expect a highlight to be increase the
stress a little and another stroke style
here we can use a direct selection tool
to edit our line
I mean going to lower the pace clear
little as well
at the same time you can make every line
you want to add as a highlight and then
lock the actual text layers so you can
only select the highlights
then use the eyedropper to copy the
first stroke weight capacity so you're
going to have to select the stroke cell
after manually so let me know in the
