we've having have been kind enough to sponsor today's video and i myself am
pretty impressed with a media conversion software which you're going to take a
good look at at the end of the video the appearance panel is one of the top
illustrator tools for typography because we allows you to add as many strokes g1
to typography resulting in some really cool designs if you go ahead and open up
the appearance panel here I with your typography selected add a new fill and
then add a new stroke making sure the stroke layer is below the fill layer
I'm going to make a wave fill in a black stroke and you will see how this strokes
is nicely behind the fill which you only get with the appearance panel if you
have anomalies like this occur simply open up the stroke window and change the
style of the stroke like I'm going to do here
like I said this too is great typography you can add multiple
different strokes and typography styles anyway only the appearance panel can do
the Pathfinder tool is great for cutting areas for typography out and the eraser
tool is very annoying and it's not very accurate to use and so the using the
Pathfinder tool is the best option in my opinion on my custom hand lettering
typography here I want to cut out a part of the type for style purposes use the
pen tool to draw a line over the area that you wish to cut out PETA biography
and then hold down shift and select both the letter as well as a shape
open the Pathfinder tool and then use the - for an option you can edit the
path three typography in Illustrator with direct selection tool
as you can see here you can be used to really enhance your double fee and this
is why it's one of the top Illustrated tools for typography you can also be
used to cut out areas of a lettering logo design for example
as you briefly saw in the last section in this tutorial I mentioned a direct
selection tool this tool is one of the top tools in a straight typography if
not then the most important tool besides title itself with direct selection tool
you can manipulate the anchor points of a typography literally changing the
style and the look of your lettering
if you Sucre outlines with typography in Illustrator and then simplify it you
will be able to really go in and change the typography with the Bezier curves
and anchor points the gradient tool is a great tool when used with typography in
Adobe Illustrator when you're happy with your typography I open up the Pathfinder
window and then unite all the typography together
once you do that you can add a gradient of Hill
you can then go ahead and set up a gradient click on the slider bar to add
a new color if you wish I'm going to add four colors in total trans add colors
that flow and match well together from left to right
when you finish your gradient you notice that it's not evenly spread across the
entire typography design to change this take the gradient tool and draw a line
across your entire typography lettering in Illustrator and you see that looks
pretty cool we can change the gradient to read your gradient and then use the
gradient tool from the center outwards
if you want you can then revert it along a slider bar to make the darkest color
on the outside
the great into is one of the top five illustrator tools for typography for sure I mean
look at this cool typography design right here the last top tool for
typography in illustrator is the warp tool you can find them up in the effects
panel in Illustrator and there are so many to choose from
experiment and browse through them on the different effects that you can make
I found that the warp tool is great for such things as heavy sans-serif logo
designs like you can see on screen now so these are the five illustrator tools
with typography bulgy by Satori graphics but now I have a quick demo and review
of the Mugabi media software you can find the download of the Mugabi software
via the link in the description I must say I've never used the conversion
software has this many features and such a simple interface it's available in
both Mac and Windows and there are many aspects of the software what I tolerated
it the first thing I realized is that it also detects devices such as my Samsung
phone plugged into my Mac and as you can see you can convert images video and
also audio you simply drag and drop files into the software like so and for
video editing you can even add in sync subtitles to your media
you can use move Alva is a simple video editor before you can convert the files
as you can see there are tools that allow you to cut and edit your video
files and are very easy to use interface
so let's convert this video file here to avi format you see how it converts a
media very quickly indeed and as many file formats as options read compare to
