Illustrator Help| Effect with text

[wizetkim]

Hi!

I've never used Illustrator before, but now i have to do some work for t-shirt print but I faced with difficulty due to lack of knowledge....

I'd like to make exactly the same logo:
if it's possible, could you make a step by step instruction on how to achieve this effect with text and opacity effects!




Thank you in advance!

I can tell you how to do this in Photoshop, but I don't have enough experience with AI.


In Photoshop, make a new document and create a white background layer.

Copy/paste the text into a text box, or type it out. If it's an image, that will also work - just paste it in, no need for a text box.

Next duplicate this layer. Lower the opacity on the first text box/writing image layer.

Now type your large word.

Right click on the word and choose rasterize type.

Now you can warp it into whatever shape you want.

Next, move one of the first layers above the word.

Now hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers. This will clip your text to the word so that it only shows through the word.

Go to the "complete text" layer and adjust the opacity until you have the contrast you want.
