All effects

Fifteen live effects for Adobe Illustrator. Every one is a set of sliders on editable type, and they stack.

  • 3DExtrude the type into flat vector walls with exact depth ordering, hidden-line strokes, extra layers and perspective.
  • StrokesUp to five cumulative rounded bands around the word, any of them a transparent knockout, raised or feathered.
  • Split FaceA line, zigzag or wave splits the face into two colours, with a gap that can cut through the extrusion.
  • GlitchCyan and magenta copies pulled apart, the overlap refilled, and seeded horizontal bands torn sideways.
  • Party!Every letter shifted, rotated, scaled and sheared from a seed, nested back together, with random caps and colour themes.
  • CrackShatter, crack or splinter the type into shards that shift and rotate away from an impact point.
  • BevelFacetted ring on the face from a single Inset slider, coloured like the 3D walls.
  • Pattern SliceTransparent grooves cut through the face, strokes or extrusion at any angle, uniform or graduated.
  • SwishA procedural swoosh drawn from the end of the word, with curl, wave, slope and seven tail tips.
  • Halftone EffectsA vector dot, diamond or line lattice inside the letters, with graded shading and knockout.
  • HighlightA light shine on the front face, inset and sized to taste.
  • ShadowA shadow behind the word with offset, angle, spread, vector feather and opacity.
  • StickerUp to three concentric die-cut bands wrapping the whole rendered word.
  • Ribbon BannerA banner drawn from the type, waved and folded, with the letters bent onto it.
  • ShapeThe word warped into a pennant, heart, arch, oval or other container, drawn behind it.
