Video description
Learn how to use Pathfinder Effects to make editable changes to your shapes and type objects. The Pathfinder Panel allows you to combine objects into new shapes. However, a common problem is that these changes are permanent, or simply not compatible with type objects. In this video, you’ll discover the easy solution and process of using Pathfinder Effects for creating editable assets, combining objects into new shapes, and being able to work with type objects. Pathfinder Effects allows you to continue editing your shape or type before committing to a final vector graphic.
We’ll briefly review the Illustrator workspace before diving into creative solutions to create a two-color blend for type objects and shapes. This effect and font color can be removed and edited at any time. You’ll learn how Pathfinder Effects differ from the pathfinder panel. This is useful when it comes to type or preserving shapes – a valuable skill for future projects.
