5 Useful Text Effect Tips & Trick | Adobe Illustrator

[@Macchickenboy]

Once again, great to see the "Appearance"-option being utilized. As someone who just recently became a graphic designer, this is a really useful way of giving typography more character! Thanks for the consistent quality content! 👌

[@cathoderay1000]

Master, thank you! You are awesome. Normally i hate when people not talking in the tutorials but in your videos it is so peaceful with the music taste, so calm and beautiful. Thanks again.

[@mrpeanutbutter6817]

For those that want the halftone effect without the white background, what you can do after following the steps on the video is create a rectangle background behind the text that expands a bit beyond the white box and give it the color/gradient you'd want the text to have, then select both the text and background, open the Transparency window > Make mask > Invert. And there you have it.

This is hands down the best tutorial ever. Thank you!

[@vdphotosnfun]

Very minimal and very useful. I know some of it but you shows all of it in one video... Thank you for sharing...

[@simplesime1]

This set of Type Appearance effects are so good - love to see more combos of these - love them!! Thank you

[@reddesert3521]

I love your use of the appearance panel, these tips are super helpful! Thank you!

[@darlonanacleto]

Mindblowing! I need to apply those effects immediately.

[@Akii_edit]

[@AnV577]

Thank you for sharing! It helps me a lot

[@swahhh1510]

[@damianlarocca3857]

Very calming tutorial.

[@tiffanyw3794]

You did that! Thanks

[@midsommer6327]

thank you! great tutorial, but now im wondering how to do the "new you." text effect 😭 do you mind dropping a tutorial?

[@Beastmaster_OG]

Hello! Thank you for the video! Tell me what to do if I want to make a halftone not on a white background? Because if the background is colored, then a white spot appears there. How to get rid of it?

[@mrpeanutbutter6817]

Late reply but what you can do after following the steps on the video is create a rectangle background behind the text that expands a bit beyond the white box and give the color/gradient you'd want the text to have, then select both the text and background, open the Transparency window > Make mask > Invert. And there you have it.

[@TheTrippleTKA]

the first trick made me say "NO WAY" out loud. I can't believe that exists! that saves like 10 steps AND it's live text!!!

[@simoharjane7823]

Now I need to try this .

[@gabrielsiqueira4266]

I have an error in my Minus Back, instead of placing the effect on all letters, the effect only applies to the last letter. Which would it be? Thank u! From Brazil 🇧🇷

[@nobudesign]

turn your text to compound shape first 0:43 before you apply the effect

[@humberto.candido]

@@nobudesign Perfect! Thank you for the shared content.🇧🇷

[@michaelmccrory2220]

Really enjoyed your creative tips. Regarding the halftone effect, after following your steps faithfully, I keep on getting a white box around the text and cannot change the colour of the text either? The problem could be I am using CS5 Illustrator?

[@nobudesign]

You can use transparecy mask. Check this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXS4daONlJ6jo5Ysi=vSsY2WDM4LMPeL35

[@michaelmccrory2220]

​@nobudesign Thank you for responding to my query, it worked, will still keep trying though, always a challenge working with an older version of Illustrator to get the results of newer versions. 👍

[@MIMYEONMU]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@infographie]

Excellent.

[@katroxs9]

i cannot change the halftone colour, i group it and add the new fill, but its doesnt change. what should i do?

[@Darfaultner]

Don't you hate it when you follow the instructions but it doesn't work the same way. It's only woking in the last letter and not properly

[@auliaputri1825]

sameeeee

[@nobudesign]

You need to turn your text to compound shape first

[@johangalindo9173]

Gracias mil

[@fighter2499]

Thanks!

[@jibongraphicstudio]

Nice Design

[@alfie2205]

Hi there, is there anyway to remove/change color of the white background generated behind the pixelated text (the last tutorial). Even when I place a colored rectangle behind it, the text has it;s own white box

[@nobudesign]

You can use transparecy mask. Check this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXS4daONlJ6jo5Ysi=vSsY2WDM4LMPeL35 At 2:16

[@alfie2205]

Thank you, this helped greatly@@nobudesign

[@邹炭]

Oh God, so many tricks sir. 🥲🌹

[@goatloading]

I tried using pathfinder effect 'minus back' and it only effect on the last letter of the word, it mask the whole word into the shape of the last letter only, So I can't following through your tutorial no 3 (text highlight), please tell me what to do to solve this problem?

[@nobudesign]

Turn your text to compound shape first, just like the second trick on gradient text 0:41

[@goatloading]

THANK YOU MUCH SIR ❤

[@israrmalik4336]

[@tiffanyw3794]

How do I make text a compound shape

[@tipo20202]

Ctrl + 8

[@nedal_hesham]

2:05 you had to say that the text is compound shape

[@Darfaultner]

At the beginning of number 3 it says "Compound Shape" in the appearance panel. What is that and why does mine just say type, and then nothing works properly?

[@nobudesign]

turn your text to compound shape first, 0:43

[@israrmalik4336]

❤❤❤ wat is text called

[@tiffanyw3794]

What’s the name of the font used in text highlights, number 3 is not working for some reason it only applies effect to the last letter

[@nobudesign]

The font name is Ohno Blazeface fonts.adobe.com/fonts/ohno-blazeface

[@nobudesign]

Turn your text to compound shape first, just like the second trick on gradient text 0:41

[@tiffanyw3794]

For the halftone is the white box supposed to be around it or did I miss something

[@steffanymave843]

why i cannot make the half rone effect

[@nobudesign]

Make sure to convert your text to compound shape first

[@danivoi]

ADSOFUIDJOAISJ BRO I NEED YOUR HELP. THE PART ON OW TO OFF SET YOUT TEXT 3:45 when I press "offset path" NOTHING HAPPENS. THE LITTLE WINDOW DOES NOT APPEAR
