The last part of gasian blur is command shift left blanket means what ?
Hey Yunhou. Command+Shift+Left Bracket ( [ ). What I am doing is sending the blurred version of the letters to the back. You can also go to Object>Arrange>Send to Back. But yeah, we want the blurry copy of the letters in the back, and the clean version of the letters in the front.
Can this be done with CMYK still? The transfers I wanna use to print with requires CMYK
HELLO GOOD DAY. IM NEWBIE AND BEGINNER HERE IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. I LIKE YOUR TUTORIAL. I LEARN MORE LESSONS FROM YOU. I SUBSCRIBE YOUR CHANNEL. THANKS, GOD BLESS YOUR TUTORIAL
Appreciate the enthusiasm, Mike! I'm working on new videos, so keep looking out!
Thank you. I do have big balls.
That's what I like to hear! 😂
I tried to do this but part of my text was splotchy. I don't know if it's the font I used, Old English? Or how I can correct that. Bummer, but great video! Thanks.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by splotchy. But I'll take a guess at what is going wrong. After converting your text to outlines, highlight all of your shapes, then go to Object > Compound Path > Make. Maybe this will fix your problem. If that doesn't work, you may be working in CMYK mode, or you may need to adjust your gradients slightly. Hard to know without being able to see your process. Let me know if this helps. Thanks for watching!
For some reason when I make the 2nd layer I can't type. Any help with that somebody ?
You're not supposed to be able to. We make a copy of the letters at 2:48 for this reason. To make the effect work, we have to outline the text. This makes the text into vector shapes, instead of live text you are able to edit. Let me know if this helps. Thanks for watching!
What if you wanna do a different color on each letter?
You could ungroup the letters and set up your gradient color scheme in each individual letter. Hope this helps!
I recently got my illustrator and I wasn’t able to grasp some of your steps. My software needs to be set with all gadgets first. :( can you help.?
Hey Alicia, thanks for commenting. Though, I'm not sure what you mean by "set up with all gadgets." I'm on a laptop with a trackpad using Illustrator CC with no plug-ins for this tutorial. You may mean having your workspace set up like mine. I usually go to Windows>Workspace>Illustrator Classic to begin. But you should be able to find any panel I use by looking through Windows>then finding the name of whatever panel I am using. I hope this helps, but please let me know if you need more help. Thanks again for watching.
@@CoolGuyDesigns Thank you so much. I found the answer on panels, I said gadgets in error. (Thank you for your help.)
@@aliciatavizon001 Awesome! Yeah, the jargon will come with time 😀 You're very welcome!
This sounds super dumb but I cannot figure out how to copy and drag the text like in the very beginning... is there a different way to do it in the 2022 version?
Hey Sarah! Sorry I'm a little late replying. That is not a dumb question. Sorry I didn't explain it. To copy and drag text like I did, you just need to hold Option key while clicking and dragging the text. If you are on Windows, I believe you hold the Alt key. Hope this helps.
easy like and sub, great video, im only 2 years late
Appreciate you, Rob. You're right on time. 😁
what's the "option" key you hold down on in windows?? T^T
I'm pretty sure it's the Alt key on windows. But haven't used windows in a long time. What command are you trying to perform?
u make it ezzz
You'll get there too! Just takes practice.
Sorry new to this, which button is option
On Mac, it's the option key. On Windows, it's probably the Alt key. Hope this helps.
How do I export this exact chrome text style to after effects?
You should be able to import the AI file straight into After Effects. Is that what you're asking?
@@CoolGuyDesigns I just want the chrome color on after effects
Or can I make this chrome color on AE?? is it possible or AI offers more options in order to creat this style?
@@emmasharaf131 I'm sure you could recreate this in after effects. I've never tried this, but if you follow the steps and just build it layer by layer, I'm sure you could do it.
super super easy. thanks buddy
You're welcome, Saman!
Please mobile
I've never used Illustrator on mobile. I may not be the best guy to ask, honestly.
