Goals (Finish the 3D example)…
At the conclusion of the chapter you will be able to:
Generate fake Latin and other languages Explain the difference between serif and san
serif fonts Define and perform kerning, tracking, and
leading Create 3D type
Units
Edit> Preferences>General>Units Others OK as points/pixels
Where get fonts:
(1) Find the Control area at the top of the document, which has links for Character and Paragraph
Other ways to choose a font:
(2) Window>Type>Character

Overflow and lorem ipsum
Text might go beyond the printable area (A text box would have solved the problem)…called overflow
ExampleDraw a type box about 4” x 2” (Transform tool)
Dummy text, threading, overflow Go to Lorem Ipsum…fake Latin ( Or many other languages)http://www.lipsum.com Say to Generate 100 words:
• Copy the text• Paste into your text box• Look for overflow indicator

This is called threading text (to remove the blue line, just click on it)…newpapers, magazines,…
Kerning
Tracking
Leading
Some terms “Two lines of text”
in
Unique to Illustrator
Type on a path Type in an Area 3D type
3D type
Type the word FUN using Arial, 72 points…no stroke
• Select the type• Choose Object> Expand• Click OK• Converts to vectors; anchors and paths• Object>Ungroup• Choose “F”• Choose a bright color• Choose Effect> 3D> Extrude and Bevel• Experiment with 3D settings…
