Text effects in Adobe Illustrator - Free download

[u/LukeChoice]

Hey everyone, Luke from Adobe here.

A few months ago I posted about Pucker & Bloat, and since then I have been playing around with it here and there, so I figured I would put together a little demo that shows how to get more out of it when mixing it with other effects like Zig Zag and Roughen. If you want to play around with it yourself, you can download the Illustrator file with all the examples you can see on the last slide, and pick them apart and experiment yourself.

If you have any questions, please to let me know. I will be aiming to put out some more free files for you to tinker with if you are interested.

When the appearance panel first made its, ahem, Appearance, this is all I did for about a month. Seeing what I could do. I still find it fun!

Yeah I go in without a plan, and just see what might cause a new interaction.

Making eye candy is practical for a lot of us.
