Hi everyone, 

 

Let's try out some simple text effects that you can create using outline stroke.

 

==================================================

Step 1: Enter text then, apply border size (7 to 9) and increase the size of the text to make it readable

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Select the text and "Convert to path" and then
apply "Outline stroke"

  • Object > Path > Convert to path
  • Object > Path > Outline stroke

Step 3: Deselect fill and reduce border to 1 or 2 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Group both path and outline to scale

Step 5:Change the colors to get variations in design

 

 

 

 

===============================================

 

 

 

 

Some interesting facts: When you export these elements to SVG you get an option to select outline stroke at the time of export.

Imagining this being a basic idea, we'd love to see what you can create using this feature. 

 

Post away!
