Hey there and this video we are going to put strokes around the outside of text and graphics but not
completely watch this when they start overlapping they start joining but the stroke remains around the
outside it's Coover drawings as well and you can see this one here has a stroke but it's only around
the outside of everything.
Let's go into that now.
All right start with the let's do it live type.
So Type 2.
I'm going to put in my living spree.
OK if your tracking is way off like mining is like that all.
And remember we can hold down the key and had the up arrow.
OK.
That's on a PCTs option on the up error on.
Go get it nice and then I'm going to make it nice big cup.
Next thing I want to do is I'm going to give it a white fill and I'm going to give it a stroke.
OK so if I give it a stroke this way it's fine.
But when I start kind of tracking it in some holding the cue on a PC option on the Mac and just kind
of like start he's the one that has overlapping it does this you might like that.
That's cool.
And by let's say I just want it running around the outside because that's what we came here for.
What we need to do is open up the appearance panel and a window appearance or here you can click on
this little dotted line here.
So at the moment the the line is around the actual characters inside of here.
KS I'd characterize the is the stroke.
That's not where I want to.
I'm going to delete it.
Well you could just delete it or not put it on in general.
OK so let's play golf.
OK.
And clicked back on it with the black error.
So character is a kind of hidden in this little group.
We got this outside group that we can apply it to.
That's where the real magic happens.
If I click on this car you can see it goes around our characters again but watch this fight drag it
down.
And outside of characters just below k it goes around the outside one can grab this and crank it up.
You don't have to stop at one.
I can cut on this which duplicates it and I can have another one that is that we use those codes and
using it we can all go that color and it makes it a little bit bigger.
OK and I can have more than one or on the outside co-op the just throw it in.
OK so you can change things.
And I want to add a stroke just to the outside.
Don't edit theah.
OK.
Especially if you're under doesn't work properly.
And what you need to do is edit in the appearance panel and let's click on a new stroke.
OK and it's partially kind of right.
So I'm going to maybe make a magenta so you can see but dragging it out and underneath contents.
OK then it's kind of around the group.
OK so let's now increase the font size and you can see there's a strip just on the inside and I'm gonna
make mine black because that's what I wanted.
And the one thing you might run into is can you see there's something weird happening in there because
of the shape the stroke here just might need some adjustment.
You might want to play around with the keping probably in this case it's the cornering.
So I'm going to go to a round one.
Just watch it.
OK.
Type it up or you might at the join K depending on which one to look for.
Even.
So that's how to put it around text and around images you notice when I undid before I did too much
and got rid of the cool stroke that had on the outside.
OK.
And one of the things you might run into is say we've we made this earlier and the previous tutorial
and maybe you want to steal it.
OK so you grab the eyedropper tool you like give me that one I want that guy.
Well what happened.
OK.
Is that the laya order over here plays a big importance.
AK We knew because of the strokes but the fill he is way at the bottom.
OK so we're going to make sure that the fill is at the top.
OK and we're going to give it a fill of white.
OK so the order with fills he might need to do some adjustments with.
All right.
That is how to add the stroke just around the outside of both type and graphics.
All right.
Let's get into the next video.
