How To Create Custom Type Designs in Adobe Illustrator

[@nmflash1665]

While most people have commented that you went too fast, I disagree. Granted, I have been using Illustrator for years (lots and lots of years) so I wasn't looking for a beginner tutorial. So, the pace was perfect. Nothing is more painful than wanting to pick up a couple quick tips and have someone drone on and on about what the pen tool is, and having to sit through 10 minutes of video for a 15 second trick. Nice job overall!

[@demigodwill0326]

Folks act like they can't pause the video.

One of the most thorough, concise, and well orchestrated tutorials I've come across on KZbin. And you actually explain the techniques verbally & with type, where a lot of people fail by assuming the audience "knows." High Fives Mate, you've done a great job. Thank you for the knowledge shared.

[@staticklingon2182]

4:00 OMG. I had NO CLUE you could do that in Illustrator. This just made my month. THANK YOU!

I know everyone complains about people being to fast with this type of stuff, but God al mighty, I really hate it when they're super slow... so thanks for the quick work... that's what pause is for. Keep up the good work.

[@berlinnful]

funny how I'm actually learning more from your videos than I did from my tutors back in the university..

[@stephs8277]

I know! I'm just realizing that I barely learned anything and I got all good grades. Feels like I have to relearn everything

[@angellijah9721]

University tutors are far different from Freelancers on youtube, these guys have more experience cos they work with so many Companies so they have a pretty awesome ways of working around the style of teaching cos they deal with it every single day

The trick with the brush ellipse made my day, thank you so much! The rest is very interesting, I use the appearence tool to make those effects and it also works wonderful, though it is a bit more difficult to understand and takes a bit of patience to get the trick.

[@yoomang7]

you can slow it down on youtube

[@stuffinfinland]

This guy means business! I think he talks clearly, so speed isn't the issue. I'm pausing on every step to follow his instructions :) USA invited the unnecessary narratives on tv-episodes to extend the content.

Slow the video down with the KZbin options

[@satyavatiranjan546]

[@realtoast7036]

I'm liking how you zip through the tutorial without the normal fill talk. Just right to the point where it's very easy to stop the video, mimic the action, and move to the next action without having to scrub through nonsense talk.

[@josephsnowball5326]

Hi, looks like a great tutorial but way too fast too follow, even when I stop and go back to fast for me .

[@jaymoneydfg]

I agree..it’s great to look at just to get an idea of how to do it but I had to play around with it myself to really figure it out

[@SkolVikings22]

My new favorite tutorial account. Gets straight to the point and provides the meaningful steps clearly. Not like other tutorials that give 50 steps talking about grouping in the layers panel. Awesome video!

[@jaythomas9595]

Great video... I'm a novice at this aspect of design and was able to follow your instructions to the tee. I'm glad that I'm solid with Photoshop, because following your quick movements was much easier, whereas it would be much harder for someone without my knowledge of adobe products. I did however find that the curvature tool was easier for me than the pen tool when adding the cyan highlights. Again, solid vid mate.

[@delhip1863]

As a new graphic designer starting fresh, this is pure gift, thank you.

[@VansVibes]

I tried this today with the lobster 1.3 font and had a little trouble with some steps like the brush at the end and the blend with specified steps but I got it. I will definitely try it again with different fonts this was fun to do thank you.

[@Navigator777777]

You are spot on about buying quality fonts. I refer to this video over and over. Watching your videos puts money in my pocket. Thank you!

[@matheox4425]

So the way to make a custom type design in illustrator is to use a default type? Awesome

[@andosan2712]

HI Chris, awesome tutorial. I am a proper noob following this step by step on illustrator and everything goes south at 3:30 - 'Give the originals a white fill to make them visible again, against the black offset.' I click white fill and EVERYTHING turns white leaving only the thin blue lines used by Illustrator (showing the typography). I don't understand why the offset is not black. I've completed ALL previous steps. Can you help?

[@saucetv5599]

i had the same problem but how i got it to work is you shift select the text so that each point is visible rather than highlight them. I hope that made sense.

[@rlee1185]

Sorry. Didn't make sense to this super-new-noob. Had the same problem as Ando san. Partly because all of my text is connected, so I didn't have the option to do all of the steps the author does (ungrouping isn't an option for me, so I don't have to do shift select).

[@Aniquabeauty]

I am having the same issue

[@Aniquabeauty]

it may be better to just understand whats needed to be applied, then arrange it yourself. I figured it out

[@hinatatv4870]

i just got figured out make sure your appearance panel choose fill not stroke.

[@DistractedKat]

That was fantastic. Great shortcuts that streamline a very manual method that I've employed for years.

[@Glife80]

Thanks for your effort but you were so fast and the instructions wasn't clear .. this video is not for beginners I think

[@alexsortovlog]

I'm a beginner and I think it was alright.

[@demigodwill0326]

You could pause it...

[@kristygarcia89]

I agree 100%

[@holycrapfreakinsweet]

You can always adjust the speed. 0.5 or 0.75 maybe?

[@f1ss1on86]

Its a video. There is a pause, playback, and more. Just be glad it wasn't a VHS tape. :D

[@choicemas]

I get lost at the black offset. When I click to make the fill color white I do not have the black outline (offset) as you do. Can you help me with this?
