Video Description
๐ฅ Download over $5,000 worth of premium design resources: https://spoon.graphics/membership Follow along with today's Adobe Illustrator tutorial to create a simple but effective text effect with somewhat of a retro vibe, featuring stacks of text elements that are progressively spaced further apart. It reminds me of the kind of design you might see on an old VHS tape box or an ad for an 80s technology brand. Illustrator's Blend Tool will be used to create the basic effect, but I will also show you a trick to alter the spacing of the text with a cool easing effect and show how variations of the artwork can be created by combining different combinations of solid and outlined text styles. ๐บ WATCH THIS NEXT: How to Create a Colourful Stacked Text Effect - https://youtu.be/CiAE5-3SrQs โญ๏ธ Get Millions of Creative Asset Downloads from Envato Elements - https://spoon.graphics/envato ๐ฆ Join my mailing list and get a FREE design resources bundle! https://spoon.graphics/freebundle โบ Activate the Eurostile font - https://spoon.graphics/3N5zMcq โบ Download my FREE Photocopy Textures - http://spoon.graphics/17K117j Deals & Discounts: โญ๏ธ Get 10 FREE Images from Adobe Stock - https://spoon.graphics/10freeimages โญ Save 70% off the Heritage Type Vintage Fonts Bundle - https://spoon.graphics/vintagefontsbundle โญ๏ธ Get 20% off Design Tools from RetroSupply - https://spoon.graphics/retrosupply Tools & Resources I Use: โญ๏ธ Get Photoshop and other Adobe CC programs here: https://spoon.graphics/getadobe ๐ ๏ธ Where I download the creative assets I need - https://spoon.graphics/envato โ๏ธ The graphics tablet I use: https://amzn.to/2GYNYEc ๐๏ธ The microphone I use: https://amzn.to/3AdkJsp ๐ข The email newsletter service I use: https://spoon.graphics/aweber ๐ The tool I use to help grow my channel: https://spoon.graphics/tubebuddy Watch more of my content: ๐บ See all my Photoshop tutorials - https://spoon.graphics/photoshoptutorials ๐บ See all my Illustrator tutorials - https://spoon.graphics/illustratortutorials ๐บ Watch my most popular videos - https://spoon.graphics/popular #Illustrator #IllustratorTutorial #AdobeIllustrator Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator design tutorials from Chris Spooner of Spoon Graphics.
