Texture pixalated

Hi There,

 

I am trying to add grain texture to my logo and I saw on previous discussion that it was pixel based. So I made sure that the document raster effect was High. But it doesn't look nice and sharped (see screenshoot).

 

I was wondering if there is any possibility to add vector based noise/grain texture? I saw that it was super easy to play with noise effect with Affinity Designer and without pixels.  But I can't with AI. It get pixelating and dirty. 

 

Can you help?

 

Thanks,

Delphine

I think you can create pattern (that be a vector also) and apply to your artwork. As I understand it has been created in Ai.

The noise effect will be pixel based, but you can try to keep the edges of your logo sharp by using a copy without the effect on top and when both are selected use the Make Mask option in the Transparency panel.

Check both Clip and Invert Mask.

Thanks Ton

And is there any other way to apply texture? Like paper texture on shape?

A paper texture would be the same, it is an image.

Put your logo (grouped) on top and make mask with the image below.
