1
00:00:02,470 --> 00:00:05,020
Hey there, in this video we're going
to start destroying Type.
2
00:00:05,171 --> 00:00:07,586
Like this Boom up here,
we're going to cut the centers out...
3
00:00:07,728 --> 00:00:08,981
we drop the inner bit.
4
00:00:09,135 --> 00:00:11,873
This 'L' here, we get to wrap around
a little bit different.
5
00:00:11,898 --> 00:00:13,907
We'll drop the 'p', we'll smash the 'i'.
6
00:00:13,932 --> 00:00:16,334
It's really easy to do
in Adobe Illustrator.
7
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:17,585
Let's go and do it now.
8
00:00:18,796 --> 00:00:21,423
So to break apart Type
and start manipulating it...
9
00:00:21,463 --> 00:00:23,144
we're going to kind of just
work on the top here.
10
00:00:23,169 --> 00:00:26,358
I'm going to grab the 'Type Tool',
click once, and type the word 'Boom'.
11
00:00:27,066 --> 00:00:29,042
Coom, 'Boom' will do.
12
00:00:29,379 --> 00:00:30,324
Exclamation mark.
13
00:00:30,356 --> 00:00:35,748
I'm going to pick a font, quite a nice big
'Abril Fatface'.
14
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:38,489
That's the kind of font
I'm into at the moment.
15
00:00:38,514 --> 00:00:41,118
I'm going to make it nice and big
with the fonts.
16
00:00:42,773 --> 00:00:45,234
With the Black Arrow,
it's actually sometimes easier...
17
00:00:45,259 --> 00:00:47,631
just to hold down 'Shift',
and grab the corner of it.
18
00:00:48,852 --> 00:00:50,828
This is my font, I'm going to
keep a copy of it...
19
00:00:50,853 --> 00:00:54,148
because there's so many times
that I end up breaking it apart...
20
00:00:54,173 --> 00:00:56,119
and forgetting what the font was later on.
21
00:00:56,423 --> 00:00:59,614
So, with it selected, all I need to do,
is go to 'Object'...
22
00:00:59,712 --> 00:01:03,457
actually no, go to 'Type', and there's
one that says 'Create Outlines'.
23
00:01:03,987 --> 00:01:07,185
'Create Outlines' destroys the font.
24
00:01:07,210 --> 00:01:10,077
So it's no longer-- you can't
grab the Type Tool and edit it.
25
00:01:10,628 --> 00:01:13,303
I have to go back to that version,
but now it's bits and pieces.
26
00:01:14,163 --> 00:01:15,457
There's a few things I can do to it.
27
00:01:15,901 --> 00:01:17,994
Remember, the Black Arrow
is for moving it around...
28
00:01:18,019 --> 00:01:20,530
and the White Arrow,
'Direct Selection Tool' allows me...
29
00:01:20,555 --> 00:01:23,450
to see all these Anchor Points,
and that's what I want to do.
30
00:01:23,587 --> 00:01:26,404
What I'm going to do is just click
once on the inside of this.
31
00:01:26,429 --> 00:01:30,002
Delete once, delete again,
so deleting twice on the keyboard...
32
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:33,840
because I want this kind of,
I don't know, stencily style Boom.
33
00:01:34,004 --> 00:01:35,641
Just double clicking, well I'm not...
34
00:01:35,666 --> 00:01:39,377
I'm clicking once, and then deleting twice
to get rid of the inside parts.
35
00:01:39,691 --> 00:01:40,826
It's kind of what I want to do.
36
00:01:40,851 --> 00:01:43,533
You can also grab it, and say,
I want to grab...
37
00:01:43,998 --> 00:01:46,688
all of these, and with my White Arrow,
I'm dragging a box around them all.
38
00:01:47,152 --> 00:01:48,636
And I can select all of these now.
39
00:01:49,623 --> 00:01:51,829
I'm not sure what I'm doing now,
now I'm really wrecking it.
40
00:01:52,563 --> 00:01:54,506
A couple of points, I'm holding 'Shift'
while I'm dragging...
41
00:01:54,531 --> 00:01:56,174
just to get them move around.
42
00:01:58,173 --> 00:01:59,975
Don't like that one,
but you get the idea.
43
00:02:00,279 --> 00:02:03,010
Next thing I want to do is,
let's say that...
44
00:02:03,121 --> 00:02:05,176
so that's--
I think that we've done.
45
00:02:05,316 --> 00:02:07,137
And what we might want to do is...
46
00:02:07,764 --> 00:02:09,843
let's grab the Type Tool,
this happens a bit...
47
00:02:09,868 --> 00:02:12,248
where you've got a nice font,
let's say I'm going to use...
48
00:02:13,387 --> 00:02:14,847
I'm going to use Lorem Ipsum...
49
00:02:14,890 --> 00:02:17,517
but instead of Abril, I'm going
to use Lust, it's quite similar...
50
00:02:17,542 --> 00:02:18,715
but there's a Script option.
51
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:21,448
These are TypeKit fonts
that you can go get for free.
52
00:02:21,738 --> 00:02:22,984
So I'm going to click on this.
53
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,534
And I like it, I'm going to
copy a version of it.
54
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,512
What I want to do is,
I want to change the color for no reason.
55
00:02:29,035 --> 00:02:32,777
I want this 'L' to maybe wrap around
this 'e', or something else.
56
00:02:32,802 --> 00:02:34,994
Do something, interact with the Type
a little differently.
57
00:02:35,482 --> 00:02:37,322
That's where outlining it can be helpful.
58
00:02:37,347 --> 00:02:39,205
Remember, 'Type', 'Create Outlines'.
59
00:02:39,622 --> 00:02:42,473
And I can grab my 'White Arrow',
I can zoom in a bit.
60
00:02:42,801 --> 00:02:45,023
I'm going to grab these three points here.
61
00:02:45,048 --> 00:02:48,646
I'm just going to drag them,
kind of maybe around this 'e'.
62
00:02:49,035 --> 00:02:51,305
It's a bit of a long stretch,
I could leave it like that...
63
00:02:51,533 --> 00:02:55,041
or I can start grabbing, say these
handles here, there's this handle.
64
00:02:55,314 --> 00:02:59,252
I want to kind of drag it out a little bit.
65
00:02:59,692 --> 00:03:01,338
I want you to be down.
66
00:03:01,892 --> 00:03:03,011
A little bit more.
67
00:03:03,847 --> 00:03:06,761
I'm totally wrecking this,
for the Type I prefer.
68
00:03:07,168 --> 00:03:09,461
Especially if you made Lust,
I'm really sorry for this.
69
00:03:10,108 --> 00:03:11,917
You get what I'm trying to do here, right?
70
00:03:11,941 --> 00:03:15,020
I'm trying to kind of make it
move and do other things.
71
00:03:15,326 --> 00:03:17,033
Not my best, okay?
72
00:03:17,298 --> 00:03:18,758
But, you get the idea.
73
00:03:19,194 --> 00:03:22,421
Any of these can be changed,
I can grab this corner, drag it out.
74
00:03:22,850 --> 00:03:25,318
I can grab this chunk, make it longer.
75
00:03:27,292 --> 00:03:28,641
Now I'm totally wrecking it.
76
00:03:29,770 --> 00:03:31,243
I should have grabbed the bottom of this.
77
00:03:32,718 --> 00:03:35,783
Oh yes, Dan, you've made a great font.
78
00:03:36,516 --> 00:03:39,119
So that is outlining Type,
and destroying it.
79
00:03:39,144 --> 00:03:41,203
Jump ahead a couple of videos...
80
00:03:41,228 --> 00:03:43,727
where we start looking at
putting images inside of it.
81
00:03:44,257 --> 00:03:46,937
It will be under a category
called Images...
82
00:03:47,116 --> 00:03:48,957
where we click images inside of that...
83
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:54,022
but for now, that is it for breaking apart
and destroying Text in Adobe Illustrator.
84
00:03:54,214 --> 00:03:55,436
See you in the next video.
