2. Objectives Create and format text Flow text into an object
Position text on a path Create colors and gradients Apply colors
and gradients to text Adjust a gradient and create a drop shadow
Apply gradients to strokes 3. Create and Format Text To create
type: Select the Type tool Click the artboard and start typing or
click and drag the Type tool to create a text box. 4. Create and
Format Text Use the Vertical Type tool to create vertical type.
Type is positioned on a path called the baseline. 5. Create and
Format Text The Character and Paragraph panels contain all classic
commands for formatting. The Character panel modifies text
attributes such as font and type size, tracking, and kerning. 6.

Text Tracking inserts uniform spaces between characters. Kerning
affects the spaces between any two characters. 8. Create and Format

Leading inserts vertical space between baselines. Applying a
horizontal or vertical scale compresses or expands selected type.

Format Text Hide objects while working with text to avoid
accidental deletions and modifications. The Hide/Show All Selection
commands are on the Object menu. 13. Create and Format Text Fill an
object with text: Use the Area Type tool and Vertical Area Type
tool to flow text into any shape you create. Format text in object
as usual. Manipulate object just like any other. 14. Flow Text into
an Object 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning 15. Flow Text into an Object
Using the Path Type Tools: Type along a straight or curved path
using the Type on a Path tool or Vertical Type on a Path tool. Move
text along path. 16. Flow Text into an Object Flip text to make it
run in the opposite direction on opposite side of path. Change the
baseline shift to modify distance the texts baseline is above or
below path. 17. Position Text on a PathText on a pathText flipped
across a path 18. Create Colors and Gradients A gradient is a
graduated blend between colors. Create and adjust gradients in the
Gradient panel. 19. Create Colors and Gradients Type list arrow Two

panel Gradient slider represents the gradient being created.
Gradients contain at least two colors. Leftmost color is the
starting color. Rightmost color is the ending color. 21. Create
Colors and Gradients House-shaped icons called stops represent the
colors in the gradient. The point at which two colors meet in equal
measure is called the midpoint. The midpoint is represented by the
diamond above the slider, which is called the Gradient Slider. 22.
Create Colors and Gradients The midpoint need not be positioned
evenly between start and end. Change the look of the gradient by
moving Gradient Slider. Swatches panel contains standard gradients
that come with Illustrator. 23. Create Colors and GradientsLinear

gradients 24. Create Colors and Gradients Linear gradients can be
positioned: Left to right and up or down On any angle change angle
in Angle text box on Gradient panel Radial gradient start at center
of gradient and blend out to ending color. 25. Create Colors and
Gradients The Color panel is where you move sliders to mix new
colors for fills, strokes, and gradients.Current fill and stroke

Gradients Color panel has five color modes: CMYK RGB Grayscale HSB
(hue, saturation, brightness) Web Safe RGB The default is CMYK or
RGB (depending on the mode selected). 27. Create Colors and
Gradients Add colors and gradients to the Swatches panel that you
define by dragging them into the Swatches panel. To name a swatch,
double-click it, then type a name in Swatch Options dialog box. 28.
Create Colors and Gradients 29. Apply Colors and Gradients to Text
By default text is generated with a black fill and no stroke. Use
the Type tool to change the fill or stroke of individual characters
in a text object. Use the Selection tool to select text as a single
object and to change text globally. 30. Apply Colors and Gradients
to Text To fill text with a gradient you must convert the text to
outlines. Select text, then click the Create Outlines command on
Type menu. Letterforms become standard Illustrator objects with
anchor points and paths. 31. Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop
ShadowEach outline is filled with the gradient 32. Adjust a
Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Creating outlines makes it
possible to create documents with text without fonts. Once text is
converted to outlines, you can no longer change the typeface. 33.
Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow Use the Gradient tool to
manipulate gradient fills. Select an object with a gradient fill.
Drag the Gradient tool over the object. Where you begin dragging
and where you end determines length of blend from starting to
ending color. 34. Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow
Gradient control bar The gradient control bar appears in the object
itself. You can change the direction, length, and angle of the
gradient control bar by dragging it. 35. Adjust a Gradient and
Create a Drop Shadow For linear gradients, the angle you drag
determines the angle that the blend fills the object. 36. Adjust a
Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow If you select multiple objects,
each object is filled with entire length of the gradient from
beginning color to end color. When you convert text to outlines and
apply a fill, the gradient automatically fills each letter
independently. 37. Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop Shadow
Examples of different angles and lengths of a gradient fill created
with the Gradient tool. 38. Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop
Shadow To apply a drop shadow to text: Copy text. Paste copy behind
it. Fill copy with darker color. Use keyboard arrows to move it so
it is offset from original. 39. Adjust a Gradient and Create a Drop
ShadowDrop shadow created using the Paste in Back command 40. Apply
Gradients to Strokes Use the Gradient panel to apply a gradient to
the stroke of an object Three options: Within Along Across 41.
