Two-(Minute) Tutorial: Illustrator Better Outlines
14 08 07 - 21:41
While outlines are something most people take for granted and since CS2, there's been more options for outlines, you can still get much cleaner and better looking results by rolling your own outlines. Who's hungry?
Because you're using the pathfinder to convert the 'outline' into a single shape, you can apply gradients to your outlines. As well, you'll find that just outlining text - even with the 'align stroke to inside/outside' features of CS2+ - that the paths will compete with each other, with one stroke covering up another letter. This method, everyone minds their own business and all the letters are happy.
