How to Create Number Callouts in Illustrator
Learn how to create and quickly apply number callouts in Illustrator through the use of multiple fills, integrated shapes, and graphic styles.
In this CreativePro Week sneak peek video, Laura Coyle shows how easy it is to create number callouts in Illustrator. By using multiple fills—accessed via the Appearance panel—she is able to create shapes and multiple fill colors all as part of each number’s text attributes. She then creates a graphic style to easily apply these attributes to all the other numbers.
This sneak peek video is a preview of Laura’s session at our upcoming CreativePro Week in Washington, D.C. and online July 8–12, 2024. See the agenda and register now!
