In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Nigel French shows how to use a geometric shape as a guide to create a unicase font in Illustrator. He starts by converting the grid to actual guides and then uses the Live Paint Bucket to create each segment of the individual glyphs.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
