- [Instructor] Shearing your type is an effective way
of adding some dynamism and movement.
I wish this could be applied as a live effect
through the appearance panel, but practically speaking,
the easiest and most effective way of doing this
is using the sheer tool.
This shares the same tool space as the scale tool.
Click on the point from which you want to shear,
in this case the bottom left.
I'm now going to move to the top right
and hold down my shift key to constrain this
as I move the type up.
