To anyone having an issue with the color burn, click File, Document Color Mode, RGB and this should fix the problem.

[@jjwhittle8873]

Yeah, and if that makes all the dots split up into coloured ones, you need to change all the degrees to zero in the halftone settings

[@deryardlitiarhendi1152]

That made me stressed, cz i'm usually using CMYK. Thanks so much buddy.

[@BDMediaGossip]

[@aleliisidro2397]

This is actually helpful. I dont have any background about illustrator or photoshop that's why im not familiar with the workspace. after my third try, i did it. thanks

[@JustinSeeley]

Glad it was helpful!

[@messynate]

the art where you put 70 on the stroke. it gives me a completely different effect. theres a whole bunch of letters that fly off the artboard

[@MrKyleDoubleYou]

Brooooo I've been looking for this for years! Thank you so much.

[@anggiecindy7763]

Greetings from Peru. Thanks for this tutorial

[@gerarddesigns8914]

Nice Effect and It's great that you can change the type. How do you get rid of the stair step effect when making multiple copies for the shadow thickness in the transform panel??

[@jan4059]

Amazing tutorial. Neatly explained and the end result is astonishing. Thanks

[@anotherdumpaccount]

BROOOO!!! THIS ISS THEE BESTT TUTORIAL EVER!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

[@jonheath3658]

For the black drop shadow, instead of the fill, just add a stroke and drag it behind the last fill. Do your transform with 200 copies, and they will link up. That way don't have to try to finesse the fill to line up.

[@rayacosta.oficial]

Thanks Jonathan, that was the thing. Thanks Justin!
