today how to make a typography poster design a tutorial brought to you by Satori graphics
what up that people welcome back to the home of graphic
design content or right here on YouTube satori graphics today we're going to be
using both illustrator and Photoshop it is how to make a typography poster
design tutorial I'm launching my giveaway this coming Friday and on
Friday I'm going to upload a video where I'm gonna explain to the details of how
you can enter so make sure you catch star video in a new document in
Illustrator we need to type our typography first and foremost the star
poster design today so access the type window like so this is the typeface I'm
using here but you can of course use whatever you want
I will drop a link in the description below or the font L made in this poster
design there's going to be 12 letters you can do the less if you want to but
the feel of the whole design twelve letters work best
instead of simply typing out everything in one text box I'm using the old option
key here for duplicate each letter this way we can align everything a lot easier
and the typography poster design when you have your first three letters
finished select them all and then open up the align window
here we're going to align them as well as set equal distance between them
with the letter still selected hit command or control G to group them we
can head up to object and grip duplicate the group with three more times with the
option key we're then need to line all of the Gribbs and send equal distance
between them making our table ography poster layout perfectly aligned ed each
letter individually you can ungroup them all here is my typography layout which
says a toy design we can play around the letters if they are still not perfectly
aligned
take the rectangle tool and select a stroke we will draw a border around the
typography in Illustrator
you can set your stroke to whatever value you want to but I'm gonna use 30
for my typography poster design
once happy select the border and then I'll learn the stroke I'm going to
duplicate a typography design with the alt/option key and use the pipette to
select white from the canvas
in the next part of this tutorial on how to make a topography poster design we're
going to be moving things over to photoshop
so I went back and lead to my border and I made a thicker one instead select all
of your design and then hit command C to copy air or if you're using Windows ctrl
C the Nova and Photoshop open your image I have a link for this specific image
download in the description below you need to now hit command V your ctrl V to
paste in place now this looks fairly good as a poster
design but we can make it a lot better I will take the pipette tool here and grab
a color from the background in with the rectangle tool place a shape over the
entire canvas in Photoshop go to layer below the topography layer and then
lower the opacity something like 25
then in a typography layer said the blend mode to overlay like so you can
play around with the blend modes but for this type of approach the design I
personally prefer to use overlay if you double click the square layer you can
use the prepare tool and change its color experimenting with what you think
looks best I prefer to sample colors from the background itself so the entire
design ties in together and there you have it how to make a topography poster
