a lower-body welcome to another illustrator cs6 tutorial
and we're just are learning about the tight tools now
and just gonna start off by
with the basics and I'll see how far arm
that takes us and so much time takes in was a star go from there so
the first thing you wanna know is that your tight tools are over here
and they'll be underneath the pen to also the right here you click and hold
the main title they are probably see is this one right here
and that's just the regular take to all types are crossed
and Iraqi St so if we have that and we just click on an area
and start typing now
if you want to change the different find you can go ahead highlighted
and and change it up here too what everyone use
and out that a change the font you've got your font size up here and then you
got the font style here as well
you can change the size you want the color is over here on the left
and you can change the colors by picking out from
on your color swatches here or any other color techniques we learn about before
and then the stroke is right next to it so if I click on this one here
we've got a pink stroke and it's a gastric way up one and we've got a
uniform
with profile now if you remember or any other stuff
amines be sure to check out their previous tutorials
and I went over stroking color and all that kind of stuff
and I'm so just go ahead and refresh if you need to
or go back and check those I'll you don't understand what's going on
now there six different type tools
and illustrator and they pretty much
do three different during are three different things
three of them tape on in horror in a horizontal area
and three oven type: vertically so we've got
type tool area type 2 and type on a path to Aldi's
are pretty much just horizontal type Inc and that means I'll take from left to
right
and the verticals are I vertical type recalled area and the vertical type on a
passed
and those will go up and down and it will start from the top
and usually go from the town are usually go down
so let's go ahead and start I'm with Coco use a vertical type
20 here file I gotta do is click
and I can just start typing something and you can see that the camera will pan
around with you when your eyes typing so that pretty handy C can always see
what's going on
and act as you can see this is too big for my campus here
soured go over here to my font size and just are bringing it down
and tell I guess is something I want to use like that grand
next couple tools would go over I'm we have the area take tool
and at this lets you I create a tight
that inside an open or closed path so let's go ahead and make path
and we'll use something like will use the ellipse tool here
ago and I don't want to have anything inside
so we can see and others give a like a stroke or something
ago okay
now we wanna grab ir area title
go right ahead and go inside now
so the reason that happened was because
in the you need to click on the actual path
I love your object to arm
get this to work correctly and you can just click NNN
and the center a bit are out so get that error message
school hand I'll make this again and take their
type are take the color of ago and
make sure we have our area take to a selected
and ninety-one a click I'm gonna make actually a click on the path
and now we get the cursor now works
now 38 prolly gonna be way too big so good on something like
yeah eighteens good enough and
taping and sad up close and you can see how
if you go too far past the path it'll keep inside by going to the next to
and enter the next line I've up taxed
so that's what that's good for you wanna keep your mom takes
constrained inside some sort of a path let's keep on going
and we'll go on to the type a path tool
so we'll have that we want to make a path and what I did on this one is I
just created an arc
so I use our Tulare go ahead and just
creating art that's good enough
and we'll go to the type on a path to a makes you click on the path
and you can see that there is a pink by the pink WordPad showed up next my
cursor that we have no I mama
so that's good and then let's go ahead and start typing things on here
I typing on a path
I put and an appointment an unknown I'm typing
and we don't happen on a path and now you can see how to do that
so now you get pretty much the idea of how to use these tools
the other three here are the full article title
and these are just the same exact thing is I just tell you
except for and they go vertically so if you're trying to type on a vertical
our past then that's gonna work like that
so that's it for now and I was out to show you the different types attacked
our tech tools and it's very much so we went over so
last stay tuned and we're gonna learn a lot more about typing
and it's one of my favorite parts up illustrator and
any other kind of graphic design is using tight
and I just think it's all really cool the different things they can do it
so stay tuned everybody and have a good day for now
