today I have three more awesome Illustrator text effects were you guys a
tryout for yourself
what is up people welcome back to satori graphics the home of graphic design
content or right here on YouTube remember to subscribe for weekly graphic
design uploads in Hampton already and to turn on these notifications let's jump
right into these three illustrator text effects in today's tutorial design
tutorial for this first text effect in Illustrator you want to use a sans serif
font I'm using go bold lo+ which you can find online if you want to use it as
well also lower the coning so the lettering is closer together
to turn the tanks into an actual vector shape create the outlines like so from
here grab the pen tool or make triangle shapes that are going to add like shards
of shattered glass for our text effect
I would just show you the technique on two triangles
once Chevy triangles select each one individually and then go to objects path
and divide objects below
do this for all of your triangles one by one once you've done that select
everything and then go to object and ungroup you can then use a selection
tool and hold down shift to select more pieces of a shard at once and change the
positioning giving the illusion of shatter glass for this illustrator text
effect I personally love this vector text effect and I think it looks pretty
cool
this second also illustrator tacks of faith requires a very thick font I'm
using impact to show you guys is tiny expand the appearance of the text like
so another gradient fill change the direction so it's darker the very top
and then use CMYK color mode we want values of 100 zero zero and zero the
other side of the gradient should be white then under the effect section
illustrator locate the halftone option
every single value should be zero apart from the first one which you might have
to play around with until you get a right we then need to expand the
appearance and then open up the image trace window as we need to turn the text
effect into an actual vector path because right now is not one play around
with the threshold and keep black and white selected at the very bottom check
the ignore white option
once you happy go to object image trace and expand now your design is a vector
and you can add color and edit it as you see fit
the last illustrator text effect is going to involve layering vectors over a
text add some texture the font I'm using is called
as we've done before in today tutorial create the outlines of your text and
then open up a Finder window
we need to make sure all of our text is the same base object so use the unite
function in the path line there we now need to open up the transparency window
for the next part of this text effect Hennig widget X selected in the
transparency window choose make mask uncheck the clip option and then
highlight the right-hand side window in the description below or have a link to
these vectors here that you're seeing now we need to ungroup everything twice
to locate a specific shape once you've done that press command or ctrl C to
copy it and then head back to your text and hit command or ctrl V to paste it in
the mask window it may take a while to load because there are multiple shapes
and effects on this vector
once you're happy simply click the left hand side box in transparency window and
then change the color of the text editor
