00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.03

- [Instructor] In this movie,



2

00:00:01.03 --> 00:00:02.07

I'll show you how to switch between



3

00:00:02.07 --> 00:00:05.04

different stylistic sets, in this case,



4

00:00:05.04 --> 00:00:09.02

associated with the multi-color

font Trajan Color Concept,



5

00:00:09.02 --> 00:00:13.07

here inside Illustrator CC 2018 or later.



6

00:00:13.07 --> 00:00:15.02

Earlier versions of the program



7

00:00:15.02 --> 00:00:17.02

do not support this feature.



8

00:00:17.02 --> 00:00:18.05

All right, so I'm gonna go ahead



9

00:00:18.05 --> 00:00:20.02

and grab the type tool, which of course,



10

00:00:20.02 --> 00:00:22.02

you can get by pressing the T key.



11

00:00:22.02 --> 00:00:24.04

And I'll select this first letter A,



12

00:00:24.04 --> 00:00:27.04

and as long as my cursor is

hovered over the selection,



13

00:00:27.04 --> 00:00:29.03

I'll see this tiny popup panel,



14

00:00:29.03 --> 00:00:31.08

complete with a list of

alternate characters.



15

00:00:31.08 --> 00:00:34.06

If I move my cursor off the selection,



16

00:00:34.06 --> 00:00:36.06

then that panel disappears.



17

00:00:36.06 --> 00:00:38.02

But notice that I'm only seeing



18

00:00:38.02 --> 00:00:40.04

five characters in all.



19

00:00:40.04 --> 00:00:42.00

The one I'm looking for isn't here,



20

00:00:42.00 --> 00:00:43.09

so I'll go ahead and click on



21

00:00:43.09 --> 00:00:45.03

the right pointing arrowhead



22

00:00:45.03 --> 00:00:46.09

to bring up the glyphs panel,



23

00:00:46.09 --> 00:00:50.03

set to alternate for current selection.



24

00:00:50.03 --> 00:00:52.00

If it's not set that way for you,



25

00:00:52.00 --> 00:00:54.09

just go ahead and choose

this first command,



26

00:00:54.09 --> 00:00:55.08

at which point, I'll see



27

00:00:55.08 --> 00:00:57.07

the turquoise version of the character,



28

00:00:57.07 --> 00:00:59.05

and I'll double click on it



29

00:00:59.05 --> 00:01:03.03

in order to switch out

that character, like so.



30

00:01:03.03 --> 00:01:05.03

And then, I'll go ahead and highlight



31

00:01:05.03 --> 00:01:07.01

the double T ligature.



32

00:01:07.01 --> 00:01:10.02

And notice this time,

Illustrator offers that ligature



33

00:01:10.02 --> 00:01:13.03

in the tiny popup panel, as well as



34

00:01:13.03 --> 00:01:15.01

up here in the alternates.



35

00:01:15.01 --> 00:01:17.03

And so, I'll just go

ahead and double click



36

00:01:17.03 --> 00:01:19.01

on that double T ligature,



37

00:01:19.01 --> 00:01:22.07

and that will replace

both of the Ts, like so.



38

00:01:22.07 --> 00:01:24.03

All right, so that's one way to work.



39

00:01:24.03 --> 00:01:26.04

Here's another easier way.



40

00:01:26.04 --> 00:01:27.09

I'll go ahead and press the escape key



41

00:01:27.09 --> 00:01:31.00

to accept that change, and

I'll hide the glyphs panel,



42

00:01:31.00 --> 00:01:33.08

which, by the way, does offer a list



43

00:01:33.08 --> 00:01:37.06

of the stylistic sets,

with the exception of gold,



44

00:01:37.06 --> 00:01:40.02

because gold is the default setting.



45

00:01:40.02 --> 00:01:43.06

So, while we're seeing

stylistic set one, silver,



46

00:01:43.06 --> 00:01:47.01

all the way down to

stylistic set 20, solid,



47

00:01:47.01 --> 00:01:51.08

there are really 21 sets,

because gold is not pictured.



48

00:01:51.08 --> 00:01:53.09

So, I could switch to turquoise here,



49

00:01:53.09 --> 00:01:55.08

but that is not gonna reformat the text,



50

00:01:55.08 --> 00:01:57.01

that's just going to give me



51

00:01:57.01 --> 00:01:59.00

other characters to choose from.



52

00:01:59.00 --> 00:02:01.00

To reformat the text, what you do is



53

00:02:01.00 --> 00:02:05.01

hide that glyphs panel, and

then go up to the window menu,



54

00:02:05.01 --> 00:02:08.05

choose type, and choose open type.



55

00:02:08.05 --> 00:02:10.03

And then, with your text selected,



56

00:02:10.03 --> 00:02:12.07

you wanna move to this bottom right icon,



57

00:02:12.07 --> 00:02:14.05

which reads stylistic sets,



58

00:02:14.05 --> 00:02:17.02

and then go ahead and click on it,



59

00:02:17.02 --> 00:02:19.06

and you will see a list.



60

00:02:19.06 --> 00:02:22.03

And so, I can go ahead

and choose turquoise,



61

00:02:22.03 --> 00:02:24.08

if I like, in order to reformat



62

00:02:24.08 --> 00:02:26.06

all the text in turquoise.



63

00:02:26.06 --> 00:02:29.01

That messes up my double

N ligature, however,



64

00:02:29.01 --> 00:02:31.08

and so I'll bring it

back, just by turning on



65

00:02:31.08 --> 00:02:35.00

standard ligatures, like so.



66

00:02:35.00 --> 00:02:37.01

All right, now this way,

you can easily switch



67

00:02:37.01 --> 00:02:41.01

between different sets, just

by selecting, for example,



68

00:02:41.01 --> 00:02:44.01

wood, which has some wood

grain running through it,



69

00:02:44.01 --> 00:02:45.09

as we can see right here.



70

00:02:45.09 --> 00:02:50.06

But notice what happens if I

decide to check out dark gray.



71

00:02:50.06 --> 00:02:53.07

I don't see any change, and that's because



72

00:02:53.07 --> 00:02:57.06

we've got a bunch of styles

heaped on top of each other.



73

00:02:57.06 --> 00:02:59.06

So, the first selection is always gonna



74

00:02:59.06 --> 00:03:01.05

override the other ones.



75

00:03:01.05 --> 00:03:04.06

If you wanna be able to

see, in our case, dark gray,



76

00:03:04.06 --> 00:03:06.05

then you need to turn off silver,



77

00:03:06.05 --> 00:03:08.09

and then go ahead and turn off wood,



78

00:03:08.09 --> 00:03:11.06

and then go ahead and turn off turquoise,



79

00:03:11.06 --> 00:03:14.00

although that does end up leaving



80

00:03:14.00 --> 00:03:16.04

a couple of turquoise letters right there,



81

00:03:16.04 --> 00:03:18.06

and that's because we

set them to turquoise



82

00:03:18.06 --> 00:03:20.01

from the glyphs panel.



83

00:03:20.01 --> 00:03:22.04

If you want them to be dark gray instead,



84

00:03:22.04 --> 00:03:25.07

press the T key to switch

back to the type tool,



85

00:03:25.07 --> 00:03:28.06

and then highlight the A, for example,



86

00:03:28.06 --> 00:03:32.01

and switch it back to the

very first A, which is gold.



87

00:03:32.01 --> 00:03:34.03

And as you can see, gold always appears



88

00:03:34.03 --> 00:03:36.02

at the bottom of the stack, so it's there,



89

00:03:36.02 --> 00:03:38.05

but it's getting covered up by dark gray.



90

00:03:38.05 --> 00:03:40.03

Then you can select the double T



91

00:03:40.03 --> 00:03:43.01

and change it back to gold as well,



92

00:03:43.01 --> 00:03:44.09

at which point, all the characters



93

00:03:44.09 --> 00:03:47.05

are double gray, like so.



94

00:03:47.05 --> 00:03:49.07

All right, so I'm gonna

press the escape key



95

00:03:49.07 --> 00:03:51.06

to switch back to the black arrow tool,



96

00:03:51.06 --> 00:03:53.06

so all of the text is selected.



97

00:03:53.06 --> 00:03:56.01

And then, I'll click on

this bottom right icon



98

00:03:56.01 --> 00:03:58.01

here inside the open type panel,



99

00:03:58.01 --> 00:04:00.04

and I will turn off dark gray,



100

00:04:00.04 --> 00:04:01.05

just to make sure it's not



101

00:04:01.05 --> 00:04:03.07

heaped on top of the other colors anymore,



102

00:04:03.07 --> 00:04:05.07

and I'll try out one

of the other settings,



103

00:04:05.07 --> 00:04:09.01

such as yellow, which is

gonna brighten the letters,



104

00:04:09.01 --> 00:04:11.03

as we're seeing right here.



105

00:04:11.03 --> 00:04:13.06

But I'm really interested in green,



106

00:04:13.06 --> 00:04:16.00

and so I'll start by turning off yellow,



107

00:04:16.00 --> 00:04:18.04

and then I will choose green,



108

00:04:18.04 --> 00:04:21.02

in order to achieve

this effect right here.



109

00:04:21.02 --> 00:04:24.06

And again, I've lost not

only my double N ligature,



110

00:04:24.06 --> 00:04:27.04

but also the double T,

and so I'll just go ahead



111

00:04:27.04 --> 00:04:30.09

and click on this bottom left

icon, standard ligatures,



112

00:04:30.09 --> 00:04:33.07

in order to bring them back.



113

00:04:33.07 --> 00:04:36.01

All right, now let's say I

wanna share this document



114

00:04:36.01 --> 00:04:37.01

with somebody who's using



115

00:04:37.01 --> 00:04:39.08

an older version of Illustrator.



116

00:04:39.08 --> 00:04:43.04

In that case, I need to

convert my text to outlines.



117

00:04:43.04 --> 00:04:44.08

And of course, when converting to



118

00:04:44.08 --> 00:04:46.05

vector-based path outlines,



119

00:04:46.05 --> 00:04:47.08

you can have as many different



120

00:04:47.08 --> 00:04:49.09

fills and strokes as you like.



121

00:04:49.09 --> 00:04:51.09

So notice, if I go up to the type menu



122

00:04:51.09 --> 00:04:53.06

and choose create outlines,



123

00:04:53.06 --> 00:04:56.08

that I maintain the effect

in all of its glory.



124

00:04:56.08 --> 00:04:58.08

And this also gives you

a chance to figure out



125

00:04:58.08 --> 00:05:00.06

how these effects are put together.



126

00:05:00.06 --> 00:05:02.02

And so, notice the word group



127

00:05:02.02 --> 00:05:04.04

on the far left side of the control panel.



128

00:05:04.04 --> 00:05:05.09

I wanna ungroup these letters,



129

00:05:05.09 --> 00:05:07.07

so I'll go up to the

object menu and choose



130

00:05:07.07 --> 00:05:09.00

the ungroup command.



131

00:05:09.00 --> 00:05:10.09

That still leaves a bunch of groups,



132

00:05:10.09 --> 00:05:14.02

but at least one letter

at a time is grouped



133

00:05:14.02 --> 00:05:15.08

instead of all the letters.



134

00:05:15.08 --> 00:05:16.07

And so, I'll just go ahead and



135

00:05:16.07 --> 00:05:18.08

click off any letter to deselect it,



136

00:05:18.08 --> 00:05:21.02

then I'll click on the A, for example,



137

00:05:21.02 --> 00:05:23.05

and double click on it in order to enter



138

00:05:23.05 --> 00:05:25.04

the group isolation mode,



139

00:05:25.04 --> 00:05:27.07

and then I'll just go

ahead and zoom in here,



140

00:05:27.07 --> 00:05:29.03

and I'll grab this path outline,



141

00:05:29.03 --> 00:05:31.04

and I'll drag it over, so that you can see



142

00:05:31.04 --> 00:05:33.02

the green letter in the background.



143

00:05:33.02 --> 00:05:35.00

You can also drag this guy up,



144

00:05:35.00 --> 00:05:37.00

and this guy over, and so forth.



145

00:05:37.00 --> 00:05:38.05

There's another guy right here



146

00:05:38.05 --> 00:05:40.07

who's responsible for this

little bit of shading,



147

00:05:40.07 --> 00:05:42.05

and that's actually a pretty big path,



148

00:05:42.05 --> 00:05:45.04

but it's filled with this slight gradient



149

00:05:45.04 --> 00:05:47.06

at this location here.



150

00:05:47.06 --> 00:05:50.00

Now, some of the effects are

more complicated than this,



151

00:05:50.00 --> 00:05:53.01

but they all depend on

multiple path outlines



152

00:05:53.01 --> 00:05:56.09

to express each and every letter.



153

00:05:56.09 --> 00:05:59.02

All right, I don't really

want this guy torn apart,



154

00:05:59.02 --> 00:06:01.08

so I'll just press control

Z or command Z on the Mac



155

00:06:01.08 --> 00:06:04.06

a bunch of times in order

to restore the letter A,



156

00:06:04.06 --> 00:06:06.09

and then you can just

press control Z again,



157

00:06:06.09 --> 00:06:09.02

command Z on the Mac, in

order to escape out of



158

00:06:09.02 --> 00:06:10.08

the group isolation mode.



159

00:06:10.08 --> 00:06:11.08

And now I'll just go ahead and



160

00:06:11.08 --> 00:06:13.08

click off the letters to deselect them,



161

00:06:13.08 --> 00:06:16.04

and I'll press control zero

or command zero on the Mac



162

00:06:16.04 --> 00:06:19.00

to center my zoom.



163

00:06:19.00 --> 00:06:20.03

And that's how you switch between



164

00:06:20.03 --> 00:06:22.09

different stylistic sets, in this case,



165

00:06:22.09 --> 00:06:27.01

associated with the multicolor

font Trajan Color Concept,



166

00:06:27.01 --> 00:06:32.01

here inside Illustrator CC

2018 and moving forward.
