KIDS LETTERING DUO
A nice pair of tools for educators & administrators… & for kids. Two completely different looks that combine well in an educational materials or marketing-to-kids setting. These two vector alphabets are easy to recolor from the swatches palette to match your preferred color scheme. This set also includes a bonus “extra grungy” version of the kids cutout craft letters. You can almost smell the glue drips & cardboard.
• Important Note: These alphabets are custom vector art, not installable fonts.
• Saved in .eps format, compatible with AI 10 & up.
• To open in PhotoShop, drag the file onto the PS icon, choose a resolution, & rasterize it.
CUSTOMIZED VECTOR ALPHABET DESIGNS, & HOW TO USE THEM
When it comes to designing a truly unique lettering design or branding system, sometimes PhotoShop or Illustrator styles & actions don’t quite yield the highly customized results you may be looking for.
These stand-alone vector lettering designs range from simple & geometric, to uniquely intricate in their use of ornate flourishes, zig-zag or hatched contours, solid & gradient drop shadows, faux-metallic gradients, & other eye-catching effects. These are details that can’t be accomplished through Illustrator or PhotoShop styles, actions, or filters.
In a matter of just a few minutes, you can copy & paste the letters to spell out a customized headline or product name, apply beautiful curves & contours if desired (using Adobe Illustrator’s Object Envelope Distort commands), & presto, you have a lovely, unique, & custom-lettered branding system or headline. & yes, it goes more quickly than you might think.
TIPS FOR GETTING A PERFECT RESULT
1) Don’t forget the kerning! This is often the difference between a good lettering design & a great one. After you’ve positioned the lettering on a straight baseline, give it careful look. Squint at it. Look at it from across the room if it helps. Close up the big wide gaps like you might see between an ‘L’ & an ‘A’. Open it up a bit when dense letters want to dovetail too tightly together. Bottom line: Don’t use math or rulers to kern the letters, use your eyes. If it looks too tight or too loose, then it is.
2) If you’ve positioned individual vector letters before, you probably know that letters with rounded tops or bottoms need to extend a little bit below the baseline & above the cap height line. Example: a rounded capital letter ‘O’ extends slightly beyond the lines at both the top & bottom, & a rounded capital letter ‘U’ extends below the line at the bottom only. This extra height (most prominently on bold lettering) counteracts the optical illusion of rounded letters naturally appearing smaller than the rest.
3) Try curving your words, rotate them around an arc, bend & warp them for great results. Adobe Illustrator’s Object Envelope Distort is your friend.
4) The colors are editable of course, although in some cases, it may prove to be overly complicated to edit some of the multiple gradient swatches used for creating the 3-d style drop shadows & faux-metallic shine gradients. Experiment, & see what works.
