vector text effects

This next project was about text styles using Illustrator and tutorials. from the start it wasn't that difficult (once you know where to find the what whats). though this was very different from Photoshop since i had to use 3D models and i had to make make custom shapes.

the first text project i just had to do. it reminded me so much of super mario( Ahhh... Memories.), so me reminiscing  brain took over. using a specific kinda pixel like font and making it a 3D  model was the start. the rest was just change the color of the font. net the kinda stripe shine on the background is actually a small circle with some huge dash strokes (No Joke). the clouds are a bunch of circles and some had gradient of white and blue to give it that fade. the last part was the shadow on the bottom of each letter. the block and bean stalk was my own touch because it did not feel like super mario without it ( Other than putting actual mario, but i do not have the right.).

this next one was simple. get the specific font then put some gradient. next delete the middle letter and make a custom shape( do not forget some style). next make the background and put more custom shape to put even more style. simple but effective.

making these two was fun. i would really like to try more text style effects, i just chose these two because they seem fun. i did not even mind the time or difficulty of the tutorial.
