Hi Matt! Thanks for the super helpful video. I want to know how did u create/add the texture in the ribbon artwork. Really love the effect on that. Hope to hear from you soon! Cheers Christina x

[@MattBorchert]

That ribbon artwork was likely screen printed with a distressed effect on it. So you'd want to use a similar looking texture. Here is a product I made for Photoshop, but you can do this with textures in Illustrator too: crmrkt.com/eK5jox Just search for similar textures or products around wood block printing / screen printing texture packs. :)

[@christinashek4876]

Brill! I'll have a crack at that =) Thanks for the info and link, really appreciate it x

[@TheTrippleTKA]

I was more interested to learn how you draw those patterns on the green strokes as shown on the poster on the left

[@Koki_creative]

perfect

[@realfredarmisen]

Soooo just go to the appearance window and choose multiply

[@gymchick1618]

For some reason when apply multiply it isn’t working...any ideas of what I’m doing wrong??

[@worldpeace8824]

Make sure the object is selected before applying.

[@jaseylove]

Also make sure that the layer you're applying the multiply to is on top.

[@Caroline-xp5dh]

I don't know why, but I'm trying to do it in my illustrator, but it doesn't work...

[@eggimage]

why don't some colors work in overprint, while some others do? all CMYK process colors and set to overprint fill

[@MattBorchert]

Very few colors actually work well together. Most turn into a muddy brown. Just the nature of the beast.

[@eggimage]

@@MattBorchert thanks. but what i’m more curious is why some don’t work at all, like they just become “knockout” with no overprint effect

[@elenag9595]

I'm sorry, but that isn't a real overprinting technic. 😞

[@MattBorchert]

Well you'd need to actually be physically printing to make it real. :)
