In this Three Minutes Max video, Tony Harmer shows how to create a font style that has the appearance of layered fonts. These fonts often have outline versions, solid versions, and pattern-filled versions that you can “stack” for different looks. Tony has a clever way of creating this look for any font and he even sets up a graphic style to quickly apply to other type in your file.
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.
