Now it should look something as shown below.įinally, to make an interesting background, I use a free vector graphics Halftone-Heart (from Qvectors). I also deleted the unwanted shapes left over from the other heart shape as we do not need it. I have changed it’s Fill color to a shade of pink. I kept the colors same as black.įinally, just unhide the heart shape that we have hidden and locked in Step 2. If you wish to change the colors of the text, you can do it by selecting them all (Ctrl/Commmand + A) and then choose Object > Envelop Distort > Edit Contents. And choose, Object > Envelop Distort > Make with Top Object. Repeat the process mentioned in Step 6 with the word “LOVE”, select it Send it to Back, then select (with Selection Tool-V) the bottom heart shape and the letters while holding down Shift key. Keep the Smart Guides On(Ctrl/Comm + U) to help you see your shape if the letter gets hidden behind the shape. Now press Shift Key and with the Selection Tool (V) click on top heart shape and “VECTOR” and choose Object > Envelop Distort > Make with Top Object. Choose Object > Arrange > Send to Back (you can also access that by right clicking on your letters while it is still selected). Select the word, “VECTOR” with Selection Tool(V). I use the font Coaster Black in this example as mentioned above. Keep the font size to around 150 to 190 Points. Press Ctrl/Command and click anywhere on the artboard to exit the text box.

Pen Tool (P) will work better if you want to divide the shape in more complex curves. Double-click on the Eraser Tool to adjust the Diameter and other parameters. NOTE: If you are using Illustrator CS3 and above and able to handle the mouse quite well, you can divide the shape with Eraser Tool (Shift + E). Now your heart shape should be divided in three parts. Click the Subtract from Shape Area button while holding down Alt/Opt Key.Īfter that, select the shape and click Object > Ungroup to ungroup. Then Select All (Ctrl/Command+A) and choose Window > Pathfinder. Select both the lines that we drew in Step 3 and choose Object > Path > Outline Stroke. After each line press Ctrl/Command and click outside the shape to deselect. You can also draw a slight curved line as well, but for the purpose of this tutorial, we will keep things simple.Įnsure that the start and end points of the lines is outside the heart shape as indicated by blue circles. With the Pen Tool (P), draw two lines as shown in the figure below. Adjust the Stroke Weight (Window > Stroke Palette) to about 5 points. keep the Fill to None and set Stroke to white color. Now the next step is to divide the heart shape in three different parts. We will use it at the end of the tutorial again. Hide and lock it by clicking on eye and lock icon. Select one of the heart and in the Layer Palette. Select the heart shape, copy it by clicking Edit > Copy and paste using Edit > Paste in Front. Fill it with red color or any color you wish and set the stroke to None. Step 1:ĭraw a heart shape with Pen Tool (P). Also, if you are using more complex shape or curved lines just be careful that the words remain legible. But you can choose any shape, fonts, words etc… Experiment with different shapes and words to see which works best. We will write the words, “Vector Love” to declare out love for vectors. We will be using a font Coaster for the words. And finally, we need a thick and fancy font to pull the trick.įor this tutorial, we will be using a heart shape since Valentine’s Day is around the corner.

Secondly, we will need to decide what word to warp inside the shape. For this to work effectively, first we have to decide on a suitable shape. You will also learn some new techniques along the way.
