Tutorial on Adobe Illustrator
1. We opened Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3 and created a new document, opening the layers tab. Throughout the tutorial I had the layers tab open, because It helps organize everything in the document and allows you to modify or delete specific layers which don't work.
2. I chose the font Orator Std, which I used for my college magazine. I have not yet decided on my magazine name, therefore I created the template: TITLE.
3. I used the Direct Selection Tool to distort the text into a more sharp and triangular font. This made it unique and stand out from other fonts.
4. We then found an image on Google of a texture. I chose yellow and black snake scales. By selecting both the text and image, and making a clipping mask, the image appeared inside the text. This created a more professional look and added interest to the text.
5. To make the texture more visible I used the Direct Selection Tool to widen the letters, allowing more snake scales to be seen.
6. Here is the finished product:
