WEBVTT 00:00.540 --> 00:05.140 HI THERE ARE you ready to put text inside other text in Illustrator. 00:05.140 --> 00:05.880 Ok will do that. 00:05.880 --> 00:09.700 Plus will let some gradients and some image cool stuff going on. 00:09.840 --> 00:12.540 Yeah let's go in lunette now. 00:12.540 --> 00:12.970 All right. 00:12.990 --> 00:15.550 First thing is open up the exercise files. 00:15.550 --> 00:18.910 Text in a shape it's in your exercise files. 00:18.930 --> 00:21.270 You don't need to just made a few boards. 00:21.390 --> 00:21.810 OK. 00:21.900 --> 00:25.070 We're going to kind of make practice with what you can do with anything. 00:25.350 --> 00:28.020 So first up we're going to start with some giant type. 00:28.020 --> 00:33.900 So tip toe click ones we're using are X which is Al kind of brand that we're doing for that bike company. 00:33.900 --> 00:41.880 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 00:43.730 --> 00:45.040 active grotesques. 00:45.060 --> 00:50.980 It's one you can get from top get a nice big bold phones big Slaby arial style. 00:51.210 --> 00:56.240 And I am talking about that sort of size what I'll do is oh hold old key down and drag it out. 00:56.240 --> 00:58.340 So I got a copy just in case I need to go back. 00:58.420 --> 00:59.940 We're going to destroy this guy. 01:00.080 --> 01:02.900 So for the of this to work this needs to be broken apart. 01:02.900 --> 01:09.880 So c'mon shift over on a Mac or control shift on a PC is under break apart. 01:09.950 --> 01:10.840 Crayolas or it is there. 01:10.840 --> 01:12.450 So type outlines. 01:12.470 --> 01:15.200 So now it's just shape's can no longer editable text. 01:15.200 --> 01:16.480 And that's kind of the first part. 01:16.670 --> 01:19.170 Let's ungroup it can. 01:19.240 --> 01:22.550 Right click and group are shook up into two separate shapes. 01:22.550 --> 01:25.820 We'll start with the X because he's less complicated. 01:25.820 --> 01:29.080 Anything that has these kind of compound shapes in it. 01:29.210 --> 01:30.840 We have to do a little extra step. 01:30.900 --> 01:35.040 Start with the X go and all we need to do now is grab owl type talk. 01:35.130 --> 01:35.380 OK. 01:35.410 --> 01:40.820 And and yours might automatically depending on the shape that you've used automatically grab the right 01:40.820 --> 01:41.210 tool. 01:41.210 --> 01:42.320 We're going to grab this one here. 01:42.320 --> 01:48.560 If you click and hold down type to grab area type to K and you want to kind of click in the top corner 01:48.560 --> 01:51.900 here and it's going to say it can be a compound shape. 01:51.930 --> 01:54.720 OK so it's not a compound shape. 01:54.740 --> 02:00.840 OK BOD's it thinks it is right click it and say release compound path that doesn't happen all the time. 02:00.990 --> 02:05.390 OK so now and am click on it and it's going to work how your font size will probably be different. 02:05.390 --> 02:09.830 I've played around with this already so it's kind of a small font size but so we're going to use something 02:09.830 --> 02:11.170 like open sains. 02:11.360 --> 02:16.440 And I've made mine quite small and big fonts just don't really look nice inside of him. 02:16.720 --> 02:18.340 Cases a couple of things you need to do. 02:18.380 --> 02:21.360 By default you're going to be left alone and a really big font. 02:21.530 --> 02:27.230 So go down to something that's going to work ok that actually is going to eligible and it's going to 02:27.230 --> 02:28.400 fit in this shape nicely. 02:28.400 --> 02:31.670 I've picked a font really strong and bold gave you good and fun. 02:31.670 --> 02:34.010 It's just going to it's going to look strange. 02:34.040 --> 02:34.940 Done here paragraph. 02:34.940 --> 02:41.150 I'm going to use justification and you can decide on whether it's justification about leaving the last 02:41.150 --> 02:46.700 line or whether it's full blown smash in the any way you can and you end up with kind of some of these 02:46.700 --> 02:47.870 strange things going on. 02:47.870 --> 02:51.310 It depends if you're doing it for like eligibility or is just perfect. 02:51.380 --> 02:54.400 Now in this case you're looking like he's got a huge problem. 02:54.410 --> 02:58.940 It's really hard to get away from some of these rivers that start running OK these kind of gaps that 02:58.940 --> 03:04.640 run through the type and and yet you've pyromania paragon of options and this little option in here 03:04.640 --> 03:09.140 is wow stop playing with line heights and things to get it as close as you can. 03:09.140 --> 03:12.380 I'm going to leave mine as is. 03:12.890 --> 03:17.200 And what are you also might do is going to have to obviously have the magic amount of type C Minor have 03:17.200 --> 03:23.060 the payroll font sizes and tracking to get it to kind of fill up I'm using placeholder text but let's 03:23.060 --> 03:27.650 say you are missing some of what you can't do is you can go to type and go to fill again in. 03:27.650 --> 03:29.470 And it will just kind of fill it out for you. 03:29.570 --> 03:35.920 And what you might do is might do some this one line here is not going to work for me so I might shift 03:35.920 --> 03:39.490 click this one and stop messing about with it anyway. 03:39.830 --> 03:40.850 So that's that guy. 03:40.850 --> 03:42.700 Let's look at this other option. 03:42.710 --> 03:47.490 The ah he has an issue with this bit in the middle here. 03:47.610 --> 03:50.770 So like the eggs we need to say release compound Poth. 03:50.780 --> 03:55.150 This one has a bit more and repercussions chunk of hours missing. 03:55.400 --> 03:57.250 So we have to put them back in afterwards. 03:57.250 --> 04:00.010 I'm going to copy him and just move them over them. 04:00.200 --> 04:07.120 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 04:07.570 --> 04:10.550 and he will select an anagram to click. 04:10.550 --> 04:15.570 So it's the same color and weight and same crazy justification. 04:15.620 --> 04:21.910 And so the next thing to do is getting this kind of s.a back in then you do it like this. 04:21.950 --> 04:28.580 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 04:28.580 --> 04:31.160 just pasting but back exactly where you got it. 04:31.160 --> 04:37.220 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 04:37.790 --> 04:41.700 K and it's kind of you can get to see if I'm moving it actually affecting it now. 04:41.720 --> 04:46.340 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 04:46.340 --> 04:48.880 the text around but it won't do. 04:48.930 --> 04:53.160 I put it back where I go to a Didn't it. 04:53.600 --> 04:57.560 So that's how to get the text to flow through other letters. 04:57.580 --> 05:01.500 So another option I'm going to copy all of this and put a gradient through it. 05:01.530 --> 05:05.640 So I'm going to copy it just move over here and paste code. 05:05.690 --> 05:11.240 So I've got white text on a white background and not to worry about it too much because I want to add 05:11.270 --> 05:12.170 a gradient. 05:12.170 --> 05:17.780 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 05:17.840 --> 05:18.610 area type. 05:18.740 --> 05:23.900 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 05:23.900 --> 05:28.910 out is if you outline the topic in case at the moment it's all text which is cool but what we need to 05:28.910 --> 05:29.900 do now is go. 05:29.900 --> 05:35.640 Sorry guys you need to be come on shift and outlined. 05:35.960 --> 05:38.580 Now we can add the gradient by having it selected. 05:38.600 --> 05:45.820 I can go to Phil and say actually give it a gradient and actually not I'll take them off for the second. 05:45.870 --> 05:48.140 He's just going to hang out here until I'm finished. 05:48.160 --> 05:52.090 He can say I disliked both of them in the background not selecting him. 05:52.190 --> 05:55.620 I'm going to say you have Phil all a gradient now by default. 05:55.730 --> 05:57.540 OK we'll do it later. 05:57.720 --> 05:58.900 That's kind of cool. 05:58.920 --> 06:00.330 It's not really what I wanted. 06:00.370 --> 06:02.500 That's what we can do an easy way to fix that. 06:02.580 --> 06:04.130 Is it also like that again. 06:04.290 --> 06:06.070 Go to object. 06:06.180 --> 06:12.300 Compound Poth and make K doesn't really change it much except now when we do this it will go kind of 06:12.720 --> 06:19.530 all the way across Goha if you want to change the gradient with it selected grab the gradient tool over 06:19.530 --> 06:26.640 here my tuba and you can see just kind of drag it any which way I want the golf where that crucial cuts 06:26.940 --> 06:29.040 is stop showing me all the lines. 06:29.040 --> 06:30.090 Do you remember what it is. 06:30.090 --> 06:38.520 Dear Abby it's command h k command H will control h on a PC just hides all of the blue stuff temporarily. 06:38.680 --> 06:40.820 OK we can turn it back on later on. 06:40.830 --> 06:41.570 All right. 06:41.740 --> 06:43.940 Think about H-back on because it is helpful. 06:44.370 --> 06:47.810 And then you can get a cool gradient with text. 06:47.820 --> 06:51.150 All right the last thing we'll do is we'll put an image in the background so that we think about the 06:51.150 --> 06:57.750 images here and why I think you can probably put gradients without outlining the text is I can grab 06:57.750 --> 07:00.600 this one which is texting and paste that over here. 07:00.930 --> 07:08.170 And I'm going to go back and grab the whole thing and make a buddy copy and paste that here. 07:08.430 --> 07:11.770 And what I'm going to do is I'm going to put an image in. 07:11.790 --> 07:14.150 So I'm going to go file place. 07:14.200 --> 07:17.830 I'm going to bring in color will which is in your exercise files. 07:18.120 --> 07:23.350 And I'm going to make sure the documents like it's big enough to cover everything. 07:23.820 --> 07:27.220 Next thing you need to do is the text needs to be at front song and write like hell. 07:27.360 --> 07:28.840 Send him Tabac. 07:29.250 --> 07:31.580 Have these guys selected. 07:31.580 --> 07:34.500 I am not missing a bout with this thing here. 07:34.590 --> 07:39.990 Now the kind of sound the whole case I've just clicked this this and the background and we're going 07:39.990 --> 07:41.890 to hit command 7. 07:42.260 --> 07:43.920 OK it's going to say it's pretty complex. 07:43.920 --> 07:44.760 Be careful. 07:44.760 --> 07:48.510 I'm Randi Kaye and we have to do it Perlez. 07:48.750 --> 07:51.140 OK so I'm going to copy this. 07:51.210 --> 07:52.140 So like both of them. 07:52.250 --> 07:55.730 Kamandi seven or controls even on a PC. 07:55.950 --> 08:02.970 OK then again a pace that again send it to the back and do the second one for these guys and a way around 08:02.970 --> 08:05.580 that actually would be to turn them into a group first. 08:05.610 --> 08:07.010 A compound shape first. 08:07.210 --> 08:07.540 OK. 08:07.560 --> 08:09.430 So that's the end of the stereo. 08:09.450 --> 08:13.470 I'm kind of going back on myself now to prove maybe a point is click on this one. 08:13.500 --> 08:19.520 I'm guessing here if I actually you you make compound path is at his command. 08:19.840 --> 08:20.300 OK. 08:20.320 --> 08:29.780 I'm going to say OK now select these two so don't work. 08:30.250 --> 08:36.490 So I should know that sort of stuff out but let's leave it in there and that is how my friends to put 08:36.490 --> 08:40.720 type in either type in Adobe Illustrator get onto the next video.
