OUTSTANDING. I've been using CorelDRAW since 1989. I may attempt it in that first. If I can't do it there, then it'll be a perfect reason to start using Adobe Illustrator. Well done!
I still have an original set of technical (Rapidograph) pens from 1981. I inked up tons of line work back then and glad I had those skills. That being said, I LOVE Illustrator and those pens will forever be in storage 😁 Great video, thanks!
Nice Tutorial. One thing you might mention is that with the appearance panel is you can add many internal strokes and effects on the text without turning it into a graphic so you can edit the text at any time. This is handy if you are doing several of these, or if you have an indecisive client who keeps on changing the text.
Yes, but can you create the line (blend) effects and everything else without turning the text into a graphic (create outlines)? I'd like to do that if possible so you can easily edit and revise the text.
There were several steps that were repeated, meaning they were core concepts that apply to various techniques - I would love to see you break these down more slowly for those of us following along at home. Then you could say, using technique "Spoon Graphics" SG10 do so and so.... then we could go back to that video, learn the base techniques you so expertly teach, and not feel so overwhelmed by the speed at which you (necessarily) cover material in video's like this. I'd def do a patreon sub to get those (and other) core techniques in slowed down style so beginners can master those core concepts and techniques. That would be so cool.
Hello, great tutorial..however, the intersect it's not working, I tried it so many times but it's not working the lines is not going inside the text...Please help. Thank you.
Always fantastic, easy to follow tutorials. I did this one with the fonts I had and got some excellent results. I always watch your tutorials when they come out and then can refer back to them when I need to learn a technique for a project. Keep up the good work!
You may just be the best on the web. Love watching you work. Thank you. Now to figure how to apply this to screen printing with over prints and chokes.
Thank you for the tutorial, great font bundle. I have followed your steps a few times but keep getting the following error when I click on pathfinder/intersect. I get the following error "The filter produced no results. Please select two overlapping paths". Any help will be appreciated.
Hey I had the same problem. You have to make sure to change the outline text to compound path AGAIN just before you hit the intersect button. The text will turn black but once you hit intersect it will go back to normal. Hope that helps.
Yessssss....Thats what I'm talking about. Another amazing turorial. A gift from the "Typographical Godzzz"!!! These are those extra special tutorials that really inspire graphic artists. Bravo!
great video. Very helpful to learn how to use the tools and let the software do the work for you. So many times I am doing things "manually." This will be influencing our marketing materials for sure.
You inspired me and I was able to do the using the appearance panel which was a pain in the butt! Worth it snow i can save it as a graphic style and apply it to any font! thanks for the content!
I just so happened to find you while I was deep down in the rabbit hole of design work and hand down.....THIS IS AMAZING. Exactly what I have been looking for. Bit of a sucker for punishment Im afraid - must learn how to do things knowing full well I can purchase the files pre made. However...this was just way too tempting and perfectly executed with instructions. I too have a fascination with hand lettering and this is brilliant - thank you so much for sharing. 😎😎 Cheers!
I love this tutorial, but I keep getting a problem with making the intersect with the lines. It says "the filter produced no results, please select two overlapping paths. I have watched and re-watched this and can't find the problem, I follow every step.
when I click the intersect butoon on pathfinder... it always says... the filter produced no results.. please select two overlapping paths... what to do??? please reply
Try making sure both of the things you are trying to intersect are selected! If that doesn't work, they might not be in the right order on top of each other and so it doesn't know what to intersect.
I really loved this video, it helped out a lot. The question I have is do I have to make the project in large form to render it down smaller in a PNG file? I tried to reduce the size of the text to meet a smaller art board but it makes the text all distorted.
