@AlexIsiv 3 года назад

Make outline strokes for those letters, then simply copy the vector and paste it to FontCreator. Simple CTRL C CTRL V

@OCUBOX 5 лет назад

Thanks Dansky, that was very helpful. now I have the mint design too :), don't worry I won't use it, I will use what I've learned to (fingers crossed) design my own custom logo, which may be faster than using regular fonts as a starting point...

Fantastic tutorial.. Really helpful to learn custom lettering. But I am not able to create letter 'a' , 'g' , and 'y'. Please make a tutorial to make these alphabets if you can.

@sandybling 7 лет назад

Hi there, is it good to add design/creative at the end of your brand name. I hear mixed answers on this. Some people say add when starting off others says don't add it. As a graphic designer I currently I have design at the end of my unique name. It's been running for 1 year now but don't know if i should remove to make it shorter. Your advice would really help. Thanks

@HumbertoHernandez 7 лет назад

@ForeverDansky 7 лет назад

@wagnerbeethoven 7 лет назад

it's more easy to align items, use align tools, you can set a fixed width between elements. more easy than use a rectangle

@IoanaHaitchi 3 года назад

Very useful, but I have a question: How can I make these letters or any shape to look like an technical drawing with dimensions? I'm waiting for your answer. Many thanks!

@mversantvoort 7 лет назад

Again, awesome video man! Definitely giving this a go tomorrow. One thing I'd like to add though: at around the 17 minute mark, you explain that we could unite all 4 letters together using the pathfinder panel, or if we prefer we could group them so we can easily ungroup them if we want. However, after some googling (since I wondered what the unite option in the pathfinder would do with separate objects), I've found that, when you have shapes that don't touch, as is with your letters, the unite option in the pathfinder panel will actually group them as well. Any thoughts on this?

@ForeverDansky 7 лет назад

Thanks Maikel. Yes if you select all letters and 'Unite' in the pathfinder panel it will turn into one complete shape, which kind of behaves very similarly to a group - in that you can select the whole thing as one, or use the Direct Selection Tool to select individual letters. Personally, I like to 'Unite' all letters/shapes once a design is totally finished, and Group shapes together whilst the design is still being actively developed. Hope this is helpful :)

@mversantvoort 7 лет назад

Dansky Thanks, so it isn't exactly the same and I was wrong. Seems like a good idea yeah to combine everything into 1 shape that you can't simply alter anymore when you've finished your design, I'll remember that.

@lola_lollipop 5 лет назад

Very great tutorial, exactly what I needed today. I am a complete beginner and use Illustrator CS6. When I try to scale my first letter (like shown in 3:07) the stroke weight doesn't stay consistent. What did I miss ? Thank you very much.

@lola_lollipop 5 лет назад

sorry, I think I found the solution myself - in the presets ;-)

@alpserifbesen6048 6 лет назад

Is there a way to save these letter as a font to use when typing a text (both in Adobe and Microsoft) instead of individually remaking them all one by one?

@ForeverDansky 6 лет назад

Alp Şerif Besen Check out the Illustrator plugin ‘Fontself’ it’s brilliant 👍

@creg2324 7 лет назад

When aligning the dot above the 'i' and the line from the 't' the Vertical Align Bottom tool moves both shapes to the very bottom of the page - am I missing something? (I want to add that I just discovered your videos today and I've learned so much already, thanks so far!)

@ForeverDansky 7 лет назад

Awesome, glad you're enjoying the videos Craig! When you have both shapes selected, at the top there's an icon (looks kind of like an artboard shape) if you click that you can choose what to align to. Select "Align to Selection" and it will stop aligning your shapes to the very bottom of your artboard :)

@creg2324 7 лет назад

Awesome, I thought I'd be missing something small but important - such is the way! Thanks again.

@ForeverDansky 7 лет назад

You're welcome :)

@ForeverDansky 7 лет назад

jan andersen Guides are useful, but weren't necessary for me in this tutorial.

@rbagdai 5 лет назад

Dude, I loved the tutorial, however, I think you missed out on the curve of the T going below the baseline. It looks a little shifted up because of that. I mean that is a generic design rule.
