Sometimes you just don't have art for your project. So use some type and make art out of it.

In this Episode, I'll show you some basic techniques to get you started modifying text to create artwork.

This is create to know for logo creation, feature page art, ad art, poster art, and more.

Some of what you'll see includes:

• Modifying art and keeping it editable
• Converting text to outlines for even more control
• How the Direct Selection Tool gives you the power to modify
• Merging shapes and letters for new shapes with the Pathfinder and Shape Builder tools.
• Converting Strokes to outlines to merge with letters
• And more
  

I find the abilty to make art type, instead of searching around for clip art or a photo, a HUGE time saver. And it's a lot of fun. Best of all, it's unique to you!
