HI THERE ARE you ready to put text inside other text in Illustrator.
Ok will do that.
Plus will let some gradients and some image cool stuff going on.
Yeah let's go in lunette now.
All right.
First thing is open up the exercise files.
Text in a shape it's in your exercise files.
You don't need to just made a few boards.
OK.
We're going to kind of make practice with what you can do with anything.
So first up we're going to start with some giant type.
So tip toe click ones we're using are X which is Al kind of brand that we're doing for that bike company.
I'm using my black air to do the font sizes to make it super big and pick a font and I'm using active
active grotesques.
It's one you can get from top get a nice big bold phones big Slaby arial style.
And I am talking about that sort of size what I'll do is oh hold old key down and drag it out.
So I got a copy just in case I need to go back.
We're going to destroy this guy.
So for the of this to work this needs to be broken apart.
So c'mon shift over on a Mac or control shift on a PC is under break apart.
Crayolas or it is there.
So type outlines.
So now it's just shape's can no longer editable text.
And that's kind of the first part.
Let's ungroup it can.
Right click and group are shook up into two separate shapes.
We'll start with the X because he's less complicated.
Anything that has these kind of compound shapes in it.
We have to do a little extra step.
Start with the X go and all we need to do now is grab owl type talk.
OK.
And and yours might automatically depending on the shape that you've used automatically grab the right
tool.
We're going to grab this one here.
If you click and hold down type to grab area type to K and you want to kind of click in the top corner
here and it's going to say it can be a compound shape.
OK so it's not a compound shape.
OK BOD's it thinks it is right click it and say release compound path that doesn't happen all the time.
OK so now and am click on it and it's going to work how your font size will probably be different.
I've played around with this already so it's kind of a small font size but so we're going to use something
like open sains.
And I've made mine quite small and big fonts just don't really look nice inside of him.
Cases a couple of things you need to do.
By default you're going to be left alone and a really big font.
So go down to something that's going to work ok that actually is going to eligible and it's going to
fit in this shape nicely.
I've picked a font really strong and bold gave you good and fun.
It's just going to it's going to look strange.
Done here paragraph.
I'm going to use justification and you can decide on whether it's justification about leaving the last
line or whether it's full blown smash in the any way you can and you end up with kind of some of these
strange things going on.
It depends if you're doing it for like eligibility or is just perfect.
Now in this case you're looking like he's got a huge problem.
It's really hard to get away from some of these rivers that start running OK these kind of gaps that
run through the type and and yet you've pyromania paragon of options and this little option in here
is wow stop playing with line heights and things to get it as close as you can.
I'm going to leave mine as is.
And what are you also might do is going to have to obviously have the magic amount of type C Minor have
the payroll font sizes and tracking to get it to kind of fill up I'm using placeholder text but let's
say you are missing some of what you can't do is you can go to type and go to fill again in.
And it will just kind of fill it out for you.
And what you might do is might do some this one line here is not going to work for me so I might shift
click this one and stop messing about with it anyway.
So that's that guy.
Let's look at this other option.
The ah he has an issue with this bit in the middle here.
So like the eggs we need to say release compound Poth.
This one has a bit more and repercussions chunk of hours missing.
So we have to put them back in afterwards.
I'm going to copy him and just move them over them.
So I would just say C'mon see or Control-C on a PC and let's do the same thing type 2 click on them
and he will select an anagram to click.
So it's the same color and weight and same crazy justification.
And so the next thing to do is getting this kind of s.a back in then you do it like this.
I'm going to actually go command if K to put that back where I got I don't need how any more than that
just pasting but back exactly where you got it.
If you're on a PCTs control if ever this guy we need to go to object on two ticks wrap and get a mike
K and it's kind of you can get to see if I'm moving it actually affecting it now.
So when I put it back where I go out and just give it no stroke no Phil it'll do its job by pushing
the text around but it won't do.
I put it back where I go to a Didn't it.
So that's how to get the text to flow through other letters.
So another option I'm going to copy all of this and put a gradient through it.
So I'm going to copy it just move over here and paste code.
So I've got white text on a white background and not to worry about it too much because I want to add
a gradient.
Now I can't for the life of me work out a way of adding a gradient to the type while it's inside this
area type.
You might be smarter than me or you've worked it out let me know if you can see any way I can work it
out is if you outline the topic in case at the moment it's all text which is cool but what we need to
do now is go.
Sorry guys you need to be come on shift and outlined.
Now we can add the gradient by having it selected.
I can go to Phil and say actually give it a gradient and actually not I'll take them off for the second.
He's just going to hang out here until I'm finished.
He can say I disliked both of them in the background not selecting him.
I'm going to say you have Phil all a gradient now by default.
OK we'll do it later.
That's kind of cool.
It's not really what I wanted.
That's what we can do an easy way to fix that.
Is it also like that again.
Go to object.
Compound Poth and make K doesn't really change it much except now when we do this it will go kind of
all the way across Goha if you want to change the gradient with it selected grab the gradient tool over
here my tuba and you can see just kind of drag it any which way I want the golf where that crucial cuts
is stop showing me all the lines.
Do you remember what it is.
Dear Abby it's command h k command H will control h on a PC just hides all of the blue stuff temporarily.
OK we can turn it back on later on.
All right.
Think about H-back on because it is helpful.
And then you can get a cool gradient with text.
All right the last thing we'll do is we'll put an image in the background so that we think about the
images here and why I think you can probably put gradients without outlining the text is I can grab
this one which is texting and paste that over here.
And I'm going to go back and grab the whole thing and make a buddy copy and paste that here.
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to put an image in.
So I'm going to go file place.
I'm going to bring in color will which is in your exercise files.
And I'm going to make sure the documents like it's big enough to cover everything.
Next thing you need to do is the text needs to be at front song and write like hell.
Send him Tabac.
Have these guys selected.
I am not missing a bout with this thing here.
Now the kind of sound the whole case I've just clicked this this and the background and we're going
to hit command 7.
OK it's going to say it's pretty complex.
Be careful.
I'm Randi Kaye and we have to do it Perlez.
OK so I'm going to copy this.
So like both of them.
Kamandi seven or controls even on a PC.
OK then again a pace that again send it to the back and do the second one for these guys and a way around
that actually would be to turn them into a group first.
A compound shape first.
OK.
So that's the end of the stereo.
I'm kind of going back on myself now to prove maybe a point is click on this one.
I'm guessing here if I actually you you make compound path is at his command.
OK.
I'm going to say OK now select these two so don't work.
So I should know that sort of stuff out but let's leave it in there and that is how my friends to put
type in either type in Adobe Illustrator get onto the next video.
