Typography Illustrations the Easy Way!

1. Thanks again for an awesome tutorial on creating this unique vintage typography look! The mesh tool in Illustrator is definitely a powerful tool if mastered well, be it the Envelop Mesh tool or the Gradient Mesh tool. These tools really save a lot of time and are best for distorting or making things look much more realistic.

   • The Gradient Mesh is still I tool I’ve yet to master, but I’ve seen some amazing results from its use.

2. Hey Chris, this is an awesome tutorial! I love that typeface, I’d love if you’d share the name of it.

   • Looks like it says “brush up” in the tutorial,

     seems to look like the same font, yeah?

     • I believe Kevin is right with “Brush Up” if I remember right. It’s a font I picked up from one of the Design Cuts deals I shared on my blog.

3. That was great Chris! Love the art and love the tutorial pace and feel. I have been needing to get back into just designing and practice somewhere in my daily habits and running through your tutorials, etc. may help me do this. Love that look and always wondered how it was achieved. Appreciate the video and yes, you’re awesome!

   • Thanks! I hope it helps get you back into playing around in Illustrator. It’s great just having fun creating personal pieces like this.

9. this is awesome! thanks!! i had never used the envelope distort tool and am now very excited to know how. also, “offset path” was new to me. i always learn so much watching your tutorials!!

10. Very good morning exercise! For mine, I used the new Civic Type R, “vteck just kicked in!” ha, good stuff.

11. Very nice & cool tutorial.
    I have learned a lot from you.
    Thanks for your work and the sharing !

12. Oh this was just perfect! I’ve been manually adjusting points on the expanded text, and obviously that takes forever and doesn’t look nearly as clean. This is much easier with the Envelope>Mesh. Thanks Chris!

13. Excellent demonstration, but was it just me, or was it lacking in sound? A voiceover would have been really great.

14. You’re the Master !!!
