How to design a copy with visual impact with AI? In this Illustrator tutorial, how to use the text tools in Illustrator to create 3D dynamic text is revealed. If you want to know more about AI, you can come! See if the renderings are very visually impactful. Step 1 First, draw a certain type by hand with a simple straight line in Illustrator, or look at a face with an interesting flat shape in Illustrator's font library. Step 2: If a pre-made font is used, convert it into an outline (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+0) and skip to step 5. If you draw the text manually, please roughly adjust and expand it to include the stroke selection object >; Expand, and then make sure that only click Step 3 to arrange letters in the expansion dialog box, and make sure that there is enough space between characters. In the path finder panel (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F9), unify all paths. This is very important for the extrusion effect to work normally. Step 4 Now it's time to convert the text into three dimensions. First, select effects > 3D> stretch and chamfer. Adjust the position of the front of the text in 3D to get an angle suitable for the selected text. When I use flat and square fonts, I can rotate the text by an angle, so I can show a lot of squeezing. I used the preset of inner shadow in the position drop-down menu, and then adjusted it to fit the text. Next, add a stretch wide enough to attach elements to it. Select more options, and then select the surface. Expand the appearance to access the edges of letters. Select all edges on the same plane (for example, all vertical edges) and merge them with the path finder. This allows you to adjust all these at once. Step 6 Now let's give it a beautiful golden color. Select Gradient > from the Sample Library menu in the lower left corner of the Samples panel; Metal selects all types, and then applies a radial sample of the metal. If necessary, adjust the gradient of each surface Step 7 Select all surfaces using the direct selection tool. To create a bevel effect, first click Object > Path > Offset Path to use a small negative offset value, so that the new path is within the original shape-the size depends on the size of the drawing. My artboard is 220x250mm, so I used the value of-1mm to open the transparency panel and changed the blending mode of the new path to overlay. Select object > paths > offset paths again to complete the bevel-these new paths will automatically have a blending mode of "overlay". Use the rectangle, ellipse and polygon tools to draw simple shapes. Step 9 To convert your gem into 3D, please repeat the technique in step 4. Step 10, as in steps 5 and 7, is obtained by adding an inclined plane using "Unfolded Appearance" and "Offset Path". Please manually add a shadow with 30% opacity. Step 1 1 Process each shape in turn and add a golden gradient. Use a mixture of radial and linear gradients, and use the blending mode to make the gem more detailed. Keep shadows gray, because they only need to deepen your dark parts. Step 12 Add gems on both sides of the letters, copy them and combine them into groups. So as to more easily apply them to a plurality of letters. Copy a single gem and apply it to their smaller side, and rotate them using step 13 at the top of the letter. In order to improve the aesthetic feeling, we will create a silver shadow. First, use the selection tool to select the innermost path before each letter, and then add another internal offset path, gradually changing it to platinum, and the blending mode is normal.
