Here’s a written overview of what we did in the video!

Novecento Sans Wide (normal weight used).

Mega Paint Streak Pack (streak no.17 used).

In this week’s tutorial, I’m sharing my method of creating that signage typography look using Illustrator! Pin it for later!Ĭreate Dimensional Signage Typography in Adobe Illustrator I love how the typography looks 3D and oftentimes has a long shadow, extending in the opposite direction. One shadow type project I’ve been working to perfect is dimensional signage typography. I’m constantly reminded of how lucky we are to have a program like Adobe Illustrator, making things in seconds that once took hours.

What’s most impressive is the consistency and creativity with all of that 3D type, perfectly executed by hand.

I’ve broken the hardcover spine with all of the times I’ve paged through, sticky noted the tops of others and left it flat open, absorbing as much as possible. One of my favorite typography books is Shadow Type by Steven Heller + Louise Fili.
