- [Instructor] Applying color to your type
needn't necessarily mean applying
a single color to each letter.
First thing I'll need to do is convert to outlines.
Now I will choose my line tool
and draw a line through the letters.
That line can be a wiggly line,
doesn't need to be a straight line.
You could also draw individual lines
through each of the letters.
I'll now select the line along with the letters,
come to my live paint bucket, come and choose
the color that I want to paint in, and then click
to make a live paint group.
And I can now fill each of those segments with a color.
The fact that this is a live paint effect
means that I can select that line
that dissects the letters and adjust its position.
