Graphic Styles For Illustrator Text
Graphic Styles Illustrator Tutorial
Download the Adobe Illustrator CS6 with all the stuff inside the single layered native.ai file.Just a few notes regarding these styles:First off, 'Season's Greetings' - well it is getting to that time of year and this does a cool Yule effect with just one click. Give it a try.' Jaffa Cakes', 'Turkish Delight' and 'Heroes Warp' continue with the confectionery themed stuff, (I had a big family bag of 'fun size' Cadbury's Heroes right before me when I made that last one).There are some more of the Motor/Sci Fi ideas with 'Vespa Scoota', 'Hot Rod' and 'Star Wars.' Gunslinger' has a sort of Victoriana vibe along with 'Banknote' and 'Woodcut'.The other effects are general bits of fun (some mat be more useful than others) - plus there are other bits 'n' bobs which I left in the background layer and patterns and brushes palettes.Please Note: I have seen other very similar versions/styles of 'Banknote', 'Woodcut' and 'Very Metal' out here in Cyberspace, but these are ones that I have made, and are FREE!
All the type has been turned to paths, but the names of the fonts that were used in creating the examples are all shown, plus they were all originally styled at a size of 100pt. It gives you an idea of what fonts are going to be suitable for these effects. Some will work better than others and some will be complete screw-ups, but you can use the styles on just about any font or vector shape that you want. Play with 'em - they are all available through the 'Graphic Styles' and 'Appearance' palettes. Remember to set your AI prefs to 'Scale Strokes & Effects' and 'Transform Pattern Tiles' so that you can use these styles at whatever size you require.Not sure how to apply Graphic Styles, then check here:Oh, yeah - Click on the JPG preview image a couple of times to really zoom in on the details.Right, time to go and download this one - now!Just one more thing - if you find any of these styles useful, let me know - I may just upload a bunch more!Enjoy.
