How to Create 3D Type in Perspective in Illustrator CS6 In this tutorial you will learn to create 3D Typography using the Perspective Tool, Blends and some of the new features of Adobe Illustrator CS6. Step 1 Start by creating the text or shapes in 2D. This particular effect works best with bolder text with a wider surface area. If you are using text it is important that you Right Click > Create Outlines to change the font to paths. I have created my own font created using the Rectangle Tool (M) and the Pathfinder tools (Shift+Ctrl+F9). Step 2 Select each word and Group the letters together (Ctrl+G). Step 3 On a new layer, draw a rectangle larger than the artboard which will be our background. Step 4 Select all of the word shapes and increase the Stroke Weight to 4pt. Select Align Stroke to Inside, then add a Linear Gradient to the stroke. Step 5 Select the Fill and add a dark to light gradient to it vertically, so the stroke contrasts with the fill and gives us a highlight effect. Step 6 Select the shape and press Ctrl+C to Copy it. Step 7 Step 8

We imagine Mexout to be a young eccentric Mexican food expert, or "Mex'pert" as we've coined it, who is living in his parents' basement. The shop's interior is therefore styled as such. As with most eccentric experts, he keeps a wall-of-clues with a Mexican map and pins of locations to track down the freshest ingredients and their suppliers.

Stumblers Who Like Most Amazing Miniature Food Artworks by Shay Aaron Shay Aaron is a brilliant artist from Israel who makes the most astonishing miniature food jewelry. These foodstuffs look so beautiful that we would desire to eat them. Actually, there’s a whole market out there for miniature food. Not actual stuff you can eat, but beautifully hand made designs of steaks, burgers, pies, vegetables, eggs and pretty much food artworks you can think of. Comments comments Brooding Cityscapes Painted with Oils by Jeremy Mann San Francisco-based artist Jeremy Mann executes these sublime, moody cityscapes using oil paints. To create each work he relies on a wide range of techniques including surface staining, the use of solvents to wipe away paint, and the application of broad, gritty marks with an ink brayer. The resulting paintings are dark and atmospheric, urban streets seemingly drenched in rain and mystery.
On Choosing Type First Principles Typography is not a science. Typography is an art. There are those who’d like to ‘scientificize’; those who believe that a large enough sample of data will somehow elicit good typography. Before we get to the nitty-gritty of choosing type, let’s briefly talk about responsibility. If you’ve understood the above two paragraphs, then you’ll know that what follows is not a set of rules, but rather a list of guiding principles. Sans or Serif? In my opinion, a lot of time is wasted attempting to prove that one is better than the other for setting extended text.

Guideline One: honour content This, of course, should be every typographer’s mantra. [typography] is a craft by which the meanings of text (or its absence of meaning) can be clarified, honored and shared…. Guideline Two: read it And, no, I’m not being facetious. Probably not. And finally…
