if youre gonna use the vector file i wouldnt use the blend method, when u zoom in it wont be a smooth line, its better to just duplicate the text, position it like he did here. and then with the pen tool connect the edges, if u dont know where to put your lines u can do the blend, put that on a low opacity, and trace the lines where the letter and shadow connect.
Yeah, that's the way I would have done it. The pen tool is a godsend. No need to spend a few minutes on a single step when it could take you literal seconds with the pen tool.
Have no idea how I ended up on this video but this shit is what I’ve been looking for for so long. Love the aesthetic of these logos but had no idea what they were called. God bless you RU-vid recommended gods.
Thank you so much for this explanation, I've been seeing these logos everywhere, and I honestly didn't even know there was a name for them! This helps a lot!
no idea what this style was called but I've been wanting to learn it for a while and then boom, this video pops up 😳. That RU-vid algorithm is...scary lmao. Appreciate the informative video !
I like how you explain the hotkeys and stuff while showing us what it do/es on illustrator, other tutorial was like "hey watch me do this" then blah blah while I was "how tf he do that?" I just subbed. thanks for this
@@Dreadlabs oh btw you got an idea how they do those alien looking typography? I saw it mostly on cyberpunk themes, i think they call it two-dimensional or something.
Glad I was able to help! Feel free to drop a comment if you need any more help. On my channel you can find many more tutorials that are hopefully just as useful!
I was hoping to find the origins of this type of style because of the title. My only lead is that it has something to do with rave posters and mid 90s-early 2000s Tokyo.
Coming from ps cs3 user (i used potato laptop before my current laptop), I was overwhelmed by the Ai features, and your explanation of what things do really help me trying to get a grasp of what Ai does, you just got a new sub from me !
I am using the translator Thanks for the video, it was very helpful for me and I had a lot of fun trying to do it! The result of my logo is pretty cool hahaha! Hugs and thanks directly from São Paulo, Brazil!
I'm very new to illustrator, whenever I create a compound path or blend etc it doesn't automatically create it on a new layer, it still works just not on a new layer any advice would be appreciated :)
Great video! I learned a lot, I just have a qq. I am trying to make a two words logo and when I come to the part of clicking the minus front bottom, the second word disappears. Is there any way to avoid this or I just have to work the 2 words separately?
@@Dreadlabs quick reply! thanks! also I followed all the steps, 3 times, but my stars only overlap the opposite way from yours :( any clue what i did wrong? thanks!
The thing is, I think the foundry disbanded so there isn’t a way of finding it online, and I don’t feel comfortable sharing something for free that’s not mine
I had trouble making the white text transparent, it makes most of my letters black and leaves some of them white. Also I can’t drag the text off the screen otherwise they will “fall off”. Great vid otherwise!
I have a problem. After clicking the unite button in the pathfinder tab, when I try to click the compound path button it doesn't let me. Can someone help me.
