The next step is to select all of the fonts and go to the Type menu at the top. Select the option to Create Outlines:
The next step was to create our artwork by typing our company name with over 20 of our favorite fonts.
This particular design tutorial is based in Adobe Illustrator, and as always, we are going to start with a blank canvas.
To better help illustrate this point, for the design tutorial that we are about to show you we have created artwork that only has fonts, and lots of them. Since many of these fonts are relatively uncommon, the majority of these fonts are not loaded on most computers by default and therefore they can create a problem if the artwork isnРІР‚в„ўt made into outlines. Before we start the tutorial letРІР‚в„ўs take a look at the finished artwork:
To avoid this potentially very frustrating problem a simple process called creating outlines can be done. When you create outlines you are essentially telling the art file to stop reading the text as text and to instead treat it more as a regular series of line strokes, more like a drawing rather than letters. It is important to make sure to do this after you are finished editing your text because once you create outlines you will not be able to continue typing normally and would need to backtrack to add or edit more text.
Creating outlines is a very simple step in the T-shirt design process that can ensure your artwork stays just as you have created it. Problems arise when you use a font on your computer in the design that is not on the printerРІР‚в„ўs computer. When that happens the design program will often substitute that font for a completely different font. You can just imagine how bad that can be when the format changes and the whole theme looks different.
We are increasingly getting a lot of t-shirt printing jobs from uploaded artwork that our customers have created off-line. We are very happy to offer the option to customers and we are always eager to see what they have come up with. Most of these T-shirt designs have been very skilled and extremely advanced, but there are a few mistakes here and there. One of the most common mistakes that we see for instance is not creating outlines from the fonts used.
