as promised I'm going to delve into more free illustrator scripts for you guys
and also some other handy free resources for you to utilize in your graphic
design workflow now if you don't know how to install illustrator scripts you

for installing scripts and also link down below is the zip folder 236 free
scripts as designers is important to have a website to show off a portfolio
of work bookmark offers the most straightforward and quickest way to
generate an awesome website without even having to write down a single line of
code and all completed in the matter of minutes check out the link in the
description below to learn more about bookmark and design your website today
but anyway the text week of scripts has many many options open for you to use
which are going to allow you to tweak text without actually outlining the
front so firstly here we have to type in a number corresponding into the relevant
aspect that we want to edit so I'm going to demonstrate using the size option so
I need to type in a 5 you then need to type in two extremes for the size and
I'm going to go for 50 to 200 and next we can choose to make this outcome
random or not
and then finally here the orientation of the outcome and I'm going to go for the
left and as you can see the text has been created in this manner in
accordance to the size I'm quickly going to show you one more time using the
baseline as to tweak focus this script actually allows you a lot of room for
customization or edits and you actually really see this if you delve into it
yourself and experiment the different avenues and paths that you can use so
this time the baseline of the type has been tweaked along the type itself you
can obviously see you can end up with many many different outcomes using this
script the next script is going to change multiple selected objects
relating to the one object that is highest in the layers panel so for this
example the green square is the highest in the layers window and so when I use
the script every object is going to be transformed in accordance to that shape
and the color
so if I then move the pink square to the top of all layers and then resize it you
notice that the script does change the color of the shape but not the size and
this is one downfall of their script it doesn't change size but it does
actually change shapes which I will demonstrate now by changing the square
to a circle and repeating the process
the third script today also deals with typography and with this free script you
can actually select every single text box that contains a specific size of
text so for example I can search for text with a 100-point size which it does
easily this is very handy for large text documents with many many text boxes
scattered around the place illustrator doesn't have a built-in Select by size
option so this script is handy indeed so the last group today before the other
freebies in a video is a perfect zoom function and by default illustrator has
it selects - zoom option where when you zoom in you will actually zoom into that
shape or the object however the script actually zooms into specific shapes but
it does so in the sense that it perfectly fits the screen and also it
zooms in just one click instead of using multiple clicks as an
example now this might be a script that you want
to utilize for your graphic design workflow so those are the four scripts
