- [Instructor] If you wish to add a roughening to the edges
of your letter shapes,
here are a couple of suggested approaches.
The first is non-destructive,
meaning that the type remains live.
It's applied through the appearance panel,
the FX dropdown, distort and transform, roughen.
And in this case,
I'm going to have the size be set to absolute.
Increase the amount of detail.
Make the points smooth rather than corner,
and then reduce the size.
The second approach
requires that you convert your type two outlines.
So it is a destructive approach.
Keep a copy of your type,
just in case you need to go back to it.
I'll right click on the type and create outlines.
And then from my warping tools,
which share the same tool space as the width tool,
I will choose my wrinkle tool.
If I double click on the wrinkle tool,
I can set its options.
If you're using a pen and stylus,
you can have it be pressure sensitive.
I'm currently just using a mouse,
but I'm going to set my horizontal options to 20%
and my vertical to 100.
As it tells me here,
I can change the size of the brush
by holding down the option or alt key.
So I'll do that.
Holding down my option or alt key,
I can adjust the brush size
and now I'm just going to paint over The letters.
