00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:01.00

- [Voiceover] Alright, now let's say



2

00:00:01.00 --> 00:00:03.04

we want to take that effect

from the previous movie,



3

00:00:03.04 --> 00:00:06.00

with it's skinny stroke

and it's strong shadow



4

00:00:06.00 --> 00:00:07.06

and we want to thicken up the strokes



5

00:00:07.06 --> 00:00:08.09

and move them behind the letters



6

00:00:08.09 --> 00:00:10.09

and add this beveled edge.



7

00:00:10.09 --> 00:00:13.05

Then, we're going to have to

take a very different approach.



8

00:00:13.05 --> 00:00:15.02

So, I'll go ahead and switch over to our



9

00:00:15.02 --> 00:00:18.01

image so far, and I'll

bring up my layers panel,



10

00:00:18.01 --> 00:00:20.01

if it's not already available on screen,



11

00:00:20.01 --> 00:00:22.06

and I'll go ahead and

twirl open that text layer,



12

00:00:22.06 --> 00:00:24.01

and then you want to twirl open that



13

00:00:24.01 --> 00:00:26.01

clipping group right there and then click



14

00:00:26.01 --> 00:00:28.02

on the letters, which

represent the clipping mask,



15

00:00:28.02 --> 00:00:30.03

and shift click on the clouds



16

00:00:30.03 --> 00:00:32.05

in order to select that

photographic image.



17

00:00:32.05 --> 00:00:35.00

And I'd just grab them and

drag them and drop them



18

00:00:35.00 --> 00:00:37.05

out of the clipping group like so.



19

00:00:37.05 --> 00:00:40.01

And that will go ahead and

release all the effects.



20

00:00:40.01 --> 00:00:41.05

Alright, now what you want to do



21

00:00:41.05 --> 00:00:44.04

is click on the clouds image,

and if you can't get to it,



22

00:00:44.04 --> 00:00:46.02

try clicking near one of the edges



23

00:00:46.02 --> 00:00:48.04

so that you don't end

up selecting the type.



24

00:00:48.04 --> 00:00:49.08

And then what you want to do is



25

00:00:49.08 --> 00:00:52.03

right click somewhere

inside the document window,



26

00:00:52.03 --> 00:00:55.05

choose arrange, and choose bring to front.



27

00:00:55.05 --> 00:00:58.00

Alright, now I want you to

go up to the control panel



28

00:00:58.00 --> 00:01:00.03

and click on the embed button.



29

00:01:00.03 --> 00:01:02.00

So, in order to pull off this effect,



30

00:01:02.00 --> 00:01:04.02

we cannot have a linked image.



31

00:01:04.02 --> 00:01:06.08

It needs to be embedded inside the file.



32

00:01:06.08 --> 00:01:09.04

And that, by the way, is

going to increase the size



33

00:01:09.04 --> 00:01:13.01

of this file, because now

it contains the image.



34

00:01:13.01 --> 00:01:14.02

Alright, now what we want to do



35

00:01:14.02 --> 00:01:17.00

is drag the image and drop it into



36

00:01:17.00 --> 00:01:19.03

the swatches panel like so.



37

00:01:19.03 --> 00:01:20.06

And what that's going to do is



38

00:01:20.06 --> 00:01:22.07

create a new pattern swatch.



39

00:01:22.07 --> 00:01:23.09

Now, having done that, you can



40

00:01:23.09 --> 00:01:25.01

go ahead and get rid of the image



41

00:01:25.01 --> 00:01:28.03

by pressing the backspace key

or the delete key on a Mac.



42

00:01:28.03 --> 00:01:30.02

And then, go ahead and

double click on this



43

00:01:30.02 --> 00:01:32.03

new swatch in order to bring out the



44

00:01:32.03 --> 00:01:33.09

pattern options panel.



45

00:01:33.09 --> 00:01:36.02

And just go ahead and

rename this guy 'clouds'



46

00:01:36.02 --> 00:01:38.06

and then press the enter

key or the return key



47

00:01:38.06 --> 00:01:41.00

on a Mac to accept that name and then,



48

00:01:41.00 --> 00:01:43.01

you can exit the pattern editing mode



49

00:01:43.01 --> 00:01:45.01

by pressing the escape key.



50

00:01:45.01 --> 00:01:47.05

And, incidentally, I'll be

devoting an entire chapter



51

00:01:47.05 --> 00:01:50.01

to patterns in my mastery course.



52

00:01:50.01 --> 00:01:52.06

But, for now, just go ahead

and click on that big type



53

00:01:52.06 --> 00:01:54.04

with the black arrow tool, and then



54

00:01:54.04 --> 00:01:55.07

click on the very first swatch



55

00:01:55.07 --> 00:01:57.05

up here in the control panel and



56

00:01:57.05 --> 00:01:59.08

change that fill to the clouds pattern.



57

00:01:59.08 --> 00:02:01.07

Alright, now at this

point, we've got a problem.



58

00:02:01.07 --> 00:02:03.06

You can see that the clouds are repeating



59

00:02:03.06 --> 00:02:05.06

over here on the right hand side,



60

00:02:05.06 --> 00:02:08.00

and to remedy that problem, just go ahead



61

00:02:08.00 --> 00:02:10.00

and press the enter key to hide the panel



62

00:02:10.00 --> 00:02:12.02

and then press enter, or return on a Mac,



63

00:02:12.02 --> 00:02:15.02

in order to bring up the move dialog box.



64

00:02:15.02 --> 00:02:17.00

And what you want to do is turn off



65

00:02:17.00 --> 00:02:19.02

the transform objects check box



66

00:02:19.02 --> 00:02:22.01

and turn on transform patterns.



67

00:02:22.01 --> 00:02:23.09

And then, turn on the preview check box



68

00:02:23.09 --> 00:02:25.04

so you can see what you're doing,



69

00:02:25.04 --> 00:02:27.04

and what I did was I

started with a horizontal



70

00:02:27.04 --> 00:02:30.02

and a vertical value of zero, like so,



71

00:02:30.02 --> 00:02:32.04

and then I selected the horizontal value



72

00:02:32.04 --> 00:02:35.08

and I press shift up arrow

until I saw that edge



73

00:02:35.08 --> 00:02:38.02

over here on the right hand side go away.



74

00:02:38.02 --> 00:02:40.01

And so with horizontal set to 50 points,



75

00:02:40.01 --> 00:02:42.05

and vertical set to zero, you end up



76

00:02:42.05 --> 00:02:44.09

achieving a seamless

effect, at which point



77

00:02:44.09 --> 00:02:47.03

you can go ahead and click okay in order



78

00:02:47.03 --> 00:02:49.00

to accept that change.



79

00:02:49.00 --> 00:02:50.01

Alright, now we want to get rid of our



80

00:02:50.01 --> 00:02:52.08

existing stroke by clicking

on the second swatch



81

00:02:52.08 --> 00:02:56.02

up here on the control panel

and changing it to none.



82

00:02:56.02 --> 00:02:58.06

And now we want to stroke

the entire text object



83

00:02:58.06 --> 00:03:00.03

by going up to the window menu



84

00:03:00.03 --> 00:03:02.01

and choosing the appearance command.



85

00:03:02.01 --> 00:03:05.01

Next, go ahead and click

on the add new stroke icon



86

00:03:05.01 --> 00:03:07.03

in the bottom left corner of the panel



87

00:03:07.03 --> 00:03:09.06

in order to add a stroke like so.



88

00:03:09.06 --> 00:03:11.09

And, I'm going to increase

that line weight value



89

00:03:11.09 --> 00:03:14.03

to eight points, and I'm

also going to make sure



90

00:03:14.03 --> 00:03:16.08

that we have the right

shade of black selected.



91

00:03:16.08 --> 00:03:19.03

We don't, so I'll go ahead and change



92

00:03:19.03 --> 00:03:22.04

the stroke to a darker black like so.



93

00:03:22.04 --> 00:03:24.00

Now, at this point you

can see that the stroke



94

00:03:24.00 --> 00:03:26.01

is interrupting the letter forms,



95

00:03:26.01 --> 00:03:28.07

which looks terrible, so go ahead and grab



96

00:03:28.07 --> 00:03:32.08

this stroke and drag it

below the characters like so.



97

00:03:32.08 --> 00:03:35.00

And that'll move the

stroke below the fill.



98

00:03:35.00 --> 00:03:36.07

Now, let's add another stroke by clicking



99

00:03:36.07 --> 00:03:38.06

on this one and then clicking on



100

00:03:38.06 --> 00:03:41.00

the add new stroke icon once again.



101

00:03:41.00 --> 00:03:42.03

And then I'm going to change the color



102

00:03:42.03 --> 00:03:44.04

of that stroke to white this time around



103

00:03:44.04 --> 00:03:46.04

and I'm going to take

the line weight value



104

00:03:46.04 --> 00:03:49.04

down to four points to

produce this effect here.



105

00:03:49.04 --> 00:03:51.02

And then finally, to

create the beveled edge,



106

00:03:51.02 --> 00:03:53.03

I'll go ahead and click

on the black stroke



107

00:03:53.03 --> 00:03:56.05

to make it active, and then

I'll click on the fx icon



108

00:03:56.05 --> 00:03:58.00

down at the bottom of the panel,



109

00:03:58.00 --> 00:03:59.06

choose distort and transform,



110

00:03:59.06 --> 00:04:01.06

and choose the transform command.



111

00:04:01.06 --> 00:04:02.07

And I'm going to change both of



112

00:04:02.07 --> 00:04:07.07

the move values to 0.05 a piece, like so,



113

00:04:07.07 --> 00:04:09.07

so a very small move.



114

00:04:09.07 --> 00:04:10.08

And then what you want to do is turn



115

00:04:10.08 --> 00:04:13.07

on the preview check box,

click in the copies value,



116

00:04:13.07 --> 00:04:16.07

and press shift up arrow a bunch of times



117

00:04:16.07 --> 00:04:21.00

until you take that copies value up to 130



118

00:04:21.00 --> 00:04:23.06

to produce this effect

here, after which point



119

00:04:23.06 --> 00:04:26.04

I'll go ahead and click

okay to accept that change.



120

00:04:26.04 --> 00:04:28.03

And once again, despite

all the modifications



121

00:04:28.03 --> 00:04:32.00

that we've made to this text,

it remains 100% editable



122

00:04:32.00 --> 00:04:34.03

as I can demonstrate by switching



123

00:04:34.03 --> 00:04:35.09

to the type tool, which

of course I can get



124

00:04:35.09 --> 00:04:38.00

by pressing the t key,

and I'll just go ahead



125

00:04:38.00 --> 00:04:41.07

and change this second

line of type like so.



126

00:04:41.07 --> 00:04:43.03

And that, friends, is how you add a couple



127

00:04:43.03 --> 00:04:45.04

of strokes behind your photo type



128

00:04:45.04 --> 00:04:47.05

by first embedding the photo and then



129

00:04:47.05 --> 00:04:51.08

converting it to a pattern

swatch here inside Illustrator.
