Hello everyone.
Right now we're going to learn some more use of type tool.
In last lesson we learned about some basic use of type tool.
But type tool have more uses.
And we're going to learn right now okay.
So let's start from the beginning.
And this time I'm going to use this common preset.
And you can see this is our common preset.
So suppose you need to draw uh some curves.
And uh suppose you need to type some text in a circle or in a line or in a curves line or in a triangle.
Then what you will do, you don't have to worry about it.
I'm going to show you in details.
Okay.
So let me show you how we will, uh, put the text in some curves lines and therefore let me draw a
waves first.
And therefore I'm going to use the type tool.
And this is the type tool.
But um before using the type tool you have to draw the wave first okay.
So for drawing I'm going to use this pencil tool.
And I'm going to I'm going to draw a wave in curves wave okay.
So you can see this is a curved line.
And if you need to if you need to type the text in this line then what you will do for typing in this
curves line you have to use this type tool but not just the type tool.
If you right click with your mouse then you will have this type on a path tool.
Okay, so let me use this type on a path tool.
And you have to place your mouse cursor in the line or in the path.
Then you have to click on.
Then you can see all the text or all the default text placed in here.
Okay.
So this is um a method.
And now let me show you how you will apply on a circle.
Suppose you need to create some logo.
Uh, you need to create a triangle logo or a circle logo.
Then what you will do, let me use this selection tool.
Let me select it and let me delete these things.
Okay, so you can see I have deleted these things.
So now I'm going to show you how it will, um, how we will put the text on a circle.
So for putting a text at first you have to create a circle.
And that's why I'm going to use this um, ellipse tool.
And I want to I want to draw a circle in here so you can see it's a circle.
And it's have the black color field.
And I don't want to use this black color field.
That's why I'm going to use this color option here is no fill.
But I want to I want to put some stroke in line.
And that's why you can see this is the stroke option.
I want to go for this black color.
And I want to increase the stroke for two point okay.
Cool huh.
So now I need to I need to put some text in the circle.
And that's why again you have to use this type on a path tool.
So again I'm using this type on a path tool.
And then you have to you have to place your mouse cursor in the path.
And then you have to click once.
So you can see I have placed the text inside the circle.
Actually it's not inside, it's outside.
But I'm going to show you how you will place the circle inside.
Okay.
The text.
And uh, let me increase the size so you can see we got the 12 point.
So from here I'm going to use this, uh, 36 point.
And I'm going to write my name here Stephen Quill.
Sorry.
Okay.
So I have written my name on the circle.
And now let me use this selection tool.
So if you need to, if you need to move this text in somewhere in circle, then how you will do that.
So you can see here is a line.
So this line will help you for moving.
So you can see I have uh, moved the text in here.
So I hope you got the idea.
But now I need to show you some more uses of this, um, type of tool.
So you can see this text is placed outside of circle.
But if you need to put this text inside the circle, in that case you have to use this type menu.
From there you will have this type of path option.
And uh from there you will have to use this type of path options.
Okay.
Then a pop up will appear.
Please make sure that the preview is enabled.
And if you need to put these things inside then you can use this flip option.
So you can see this takes place inside the circle.
And if you uncheck the flip then it's placed outside of circle inside circle or outside circle.
So I hope you got the idea.
And here is the difference by using this flip option.
And if you need to, if you need to put some different effect on the text, in that case you can use
this effect option.
You can say right now we do have the rainbow effect.
And if you need some more effect, you just have to click on this rainbow option.
And here is the skew effect.
And after applying the skew effect you can see it seems um, we got some different effect on our text.
And then you will have this 3D ribbon effect.
And you can see this is the output.
This is the stair step and this is the gravity okay.
So I'm going to use this rainbow effect.
And once it's done you just have to click okay okay cool.
So this is the use of a type on a path tool.
And now I'm going to show you a different.
Use this how you will put the text in any shapes inside the shapes okay.
And therefore I'm going to select this things.
And I'm pressing delete button from my keyboard okay.
Now I want to draw a shapes.
And I want to put my text inside the shapes.
And I want that text will be at this table inside the text.
So how we will do that.
Let me show you how we will do that.
Let me use this, uh, pencil tool.
And I want to I want to draw, uh, some kind of.
Hardship.
Okay, so this is a hardship.
And if you need to if you need to put the text inside the heart shape, then what you will do, you
have to you have to right click with your mouse and the type tool.
Then you will have this area type tool.
So you have to use this area type tool.
And you have to place your mouse cursor on the path.
Then you have to click once and you can see our text perfectly placed inside the heart shape.
And if you reduce the if you reduce the font size, then you can have the idea how this thing is working.
Okay, so you can see we have placed the text inside the shapes.
And now let me use this ellipse tool to draw a circle.
And I don't want to use this any fill color, I just want to use a uh black color.
And now again I am going to use this area type tool.
And please make sure that you place your mouse cursor on the path.
And you have to click once and you can see the text placed inside properly.
Okay.
Let me reduce the size for 14 point.
And now I need to I need to draw a triangle.
And for drawing a triangle you have to right click with your mouse.
You will have this polygon tool.
And I want a triangle.
That's why you just have to click once.
And in here you have to declare the side.
So I want to go for three.
And you can see we got the triangle right.
So let me increase the sizes.
Let me use this no fill.
And here's the black color for a stroke.
And now again I'm going to use this area type tool.
And I'm going to place my mouse cursor in here.
And you can see uh we have placed our text in here okay.
So I hope you got the idea.
And I think, you know, the difference between the type on a path tool and area type tool.
So this area type tool is basically using for placing your text inside in any shapes.
And the type tool, whatever line or whatever path you will have, you just have to use this type on
a path tool to put your text on the line or on the path.
Okay, and now you need to know the use of this vertical type tool.
So basically when we are using this type tool so what we are doing we are just typing in here left to
right.
But what you will do if you need to put any text in top to bottom.
Here is the answer for typing any text from top to bottom or bottom to top.
But you have to use this vertical type tool okay, so let me use this vertical type tool and let me
place it here.
And you can see we got the text and it's from top to bottom okay.
That means we got the vertical positions for our text.
So let me type something else.
And you can see we got the vertical position.
So this is for the vertical position.
And this type tool is for horizontal position.
So if you need to type the in horizontal mode you just have to use this one.
And this horizontal mode is widely using 90% of uses of the type tool.
With the horizontal tool I mean horizontal type tool.
And if you need the vertical mode or vertical positions, you just have to right click with your mouse.
Then you will have this vertical type tool.
Okay.
So one more thing is left okay.
That is called touch type tool.
So what is the use of touch type tool.
Let me show you.
If you right click with your mouse on the type tool then you will have this touch type tool.
So this touch type tool is basically working in a different purpose.
Let me show you.
Suppose you need to you need to separate a alphabet or a character from here.
Will you able to move these things in here.
Answer is no.
When you are trying to remove this D character from here, this entire line is moving.
Okay, so for removing any special character from any line this touch title is using, let me show you.
You have to right click with your mouse.
Then you will have this touch type tool and you have to select a character which character you want
to move.
Suppose this k this k character I want to move from here.
Let me zoom in okay.
You can see this is a k.
So I just have to select it.
And I am moving at the right side.
So you can see I moved this character from here to there.
Let me select another.
Here is the s and I'm moving here.
Here is D.
You just have to select the alphabet or character and then you have to move somewhere okay.
So this is the simple use of the uh touch type tool.
And this touch type tool is basically using for removing any character from the group or from the text.
Okay, so I hope you got the idea how the every tool is working in here.
And yeah, I must have to tell you that you must have to do some practice because without practice you
won't be expert in illustrator.
So I hope you enjoyed this lesson and I'm expecting you to have you in my.
Next lesson.
