How To Use The TYPE TOOL In Adobe Illustrator CC 2020

An introduction to the type tool aka - Day 2 in the series 30 different Adobe Illustrator tools in 30 days. We take a high level look at the basic type tool and a few of the options you have available to you. We're not looking at kerning, leading or fonts in this video, just the basic use of the type tool. Make sure you subscribe though as I will be getting more in depth over the coming months on each of these tools.

We're going to be looking at a couple of different ways of placing text on the art board with the type tool as well as some options available for creating columns and rows of text. We'll also look at how to handle text overflow in a text box.

Help support the channel

Starting soon I will be adding new content to the channel including logo and design critiques and challenges, speed art, and tutorials. These all take time to put together and I would love to someday be doing this full time but for now I work a full-time day job and do this in my evenings and weekends because I feel I need to share my knowledge with up and coming designers.

If you would like to help me out I have a Patreon account setup and support starts at as little as $1.00 / month.

Another option for supporting the channel would be to pick up some merch made from the designs you find both here on the channel and on my Instagram account.
