LAB TEST 1 : Do and finish text effect below. You only have 1 hour 30 minutes to finish the work.A Folded Paper Text EffectThis is what you’ll be creating:Step 01First, create a 700by300px document. Start with the background. Select the Rectangle Tool(M), create a 700x300px shape and fill it with the radial gradient shown in the image below. Lock this shape.Step 02Seelct the Type Tool(T) and add your text. Use the Impact font then follow all the other properties shown in the Character pallete (image #1). Select this new text and go to Object > Expand. Fill the resulting shapes with white and place them in the middle of your artboard.Step 03Next, you need to cut some small shapes from these letters. Pick the Pen Tool(P) and create some paths like image #1. Select them along with the letters then click on the Divide button from the Pathfinder pallete. Create a new layer, name it “LETTER SHAPES” and move the shapes filled with white (from image #2) inside. Create another layer, name it “FOLDED SHAPES” and move the shapes filled with gray inside. Use the Reflect Tool(O) to move all the folded shapes as shown in image #3.Step 04Add these Warp effects for each shape from the “FOLDED SHAPES” layer then go to Object > Expand Appearance.Step 05Fill the resulting shapes with the gradients shown in the image below.Step 06Duplicate the “FOLDED SHAPES” layer then add these Drop Shadow effects for each shape from the duplicate of “FOLDED SHAPES”.Step 07Select the shapes from the duplicate of “FOLDED SHAPES” then go to Object > Expand Appearance. Delete all the shapes from the resulting group, except the “< Image >” shapes. Select them all and group them (Ctrl + G) as shown in image #2. Duplicate the “LETTER SHAPES” layer. Select this new layer and go to Compoused Path > Make. Name the resulting shape “Letters” and move it above the < Image > group. Next, select “Letters” along with the group the go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make. Name the resulting group “SHADOWS” and move it between “LETTER SHAPES” and “FOLDED SHAPES”. Later you can lower the opacity of this group 70% or any percentage you want.Step 08Let’s continue with the letter shapes. Make sure that all these shape are filled with white then add a 1pt aligned to inside stroke (R=253 G=253 B=253). Next, add a new fill for each of these shapes then use the liner gradients shown below image #5. Finally add the drop shadow effect shown next to image #9.Step 09Select the Ellipse Tool(L) and create a squeezed shapes like the one shown in image #1. Fill it with R=0 G=113 B=188, change it’s blending mode to Multiply then add the Zig Zag, the Roughen and the Inner Glow effects shown in the next images.Step 10Reselect the Ellipse Tool(L) and create some random ellipses like in image #1. Fill them all with R=0 G=113 B=188, change the blending mode to Multiply, add the Inner Glow then group all these shapes (Ctrl + G). Select this group and add the Roughen effect shown in the next picture.Step 11Finally, open the Brushes pallete. Click on the drop down menu of this pallete and go to Open Brush Library > Artistic > Artistic_Ink. Select the Brush Tool(B) then use the “Fountain Pen” brush to create your text. Select these new paths then go to Object > Expand Appearance. Next, select the resulting shapes and click on the Unite button from the Pathfinder pallete. Fill the resulting shapes with R=0 G=113 B=188, change the blending mode to Multiply then add an Inner Glow like the one used in the previous step.FinalNow your text effect is done. Here is how it should look like.Easily Create Sticker Text and Graphic Effect in Illustrator In this tutorial, I will show you how to create sticker style effect in Adobe Illustrator. Sticker effect is quite common and I am sure, you might have seen it used in various designs. So lets get started and let me tell you, it is quite easy and you can create a sticker style text in no minutes and you can apply the same technique for any graphic illustration as well.Step 1Type down the text, make sure to use a little thicker font, I used Arial Rounded MT Bold. Select the text, right click, and choose Create Outline, so that we can apply gradients to the text (I wonder why doesn't Adobe make the text go with gradients without converting the text into outline). If you don't want to use gradients in text, you may choose not to convert your text into outline.Step 2Apply gradient to text, I decided to use shiny web 2 style gradient, you can see the values of CMYK in the image below.Step 3With the Rectangle Tool (M) create a square or rectangle fill it with any color you like except white and select it, right click and choose Arrange > Send to Back so that you have a background below the text. You could do this at the Step 1 itself.Now, select the text, Copy it (Ctrl/Comm + C) and Paste in Back (Ctrl/Comm + B). While the text you just pasted is selected, change it's Fill color to white (with no stroke) and go to Object > Path> Offset Path and choose the settings as shown in the image below or any setting that suits your text.Note: You can also offset the path via, Effect > Path > Offset Path, which is actually a better way because later if you want to edit it, you can always do so from Appearance Panel. Also, if you have not turned your text into outline in Step 1, you will have to offset the path via Effect Menu.Step 4While the path you just offset in Step 3 is still selected, open your Pathfinder Panel and hit Add button.Next, if you wish you may also apply gradient to the offset path. For the Left Slider I choosed the color of gradient as shown in image below and for Right Slider the color is 0% for CMYK.And, then apply some Drop Shadow (Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow) to the selected path.That's about it! Quite easy right?!Professional Text Illustrator TutorialHome ? Tutorials ?

Click on the Pen tool, and change the color mode to"none" Use the pen to make a selection similar to mine.Use shift to selection both the text and the new pen path. Bring up your pathfinder menu and click on the divide icon. This will break up your gradient into two parts. Right click on your text, and choose "ungroup." Now, while holding shift, selection just the upper portion of each letter of your title, giving you a selection similar to mine. Lets group these pieces back together by clicking on the "merge" icon in your pathfinder window. Copy your selection by press Ctrl+C and then Paste it by Pressing Ctrl+V.
