- [Instructor] How to create an interlocking effect
to give the impression that the stems
of these different letters are threaded through each other.
Start with the type.
And now at this point, once we've got it at the right size
in the right color, it's time to convert it to outlines.
We could adjust the kerning here
while it's still live type,
but that's probably easier to do
once we've made it into outlines,
and then ungrouped,
so that each letter is now a separate object.
And I can arrange them
as I wish.
Now let's select everything,
and we'll come and get the live paint bucket.
What I need to do now is making sure
that I am in the appropriate color,
click to make a live paint group.
And I can just convert some of those segments
to, in this case, the red of the ampersand.
