I’ve got a super-useful Illustrator tip today. How to align to a “key object.” This is my first HD video, so it’s best viewed in full screen mode. I hope this tip saves some people a little headache

I have another cool Illustrator tip for everyone. I randomly found this functionality while working on a project, and I thought I’d share it with everyone. I’m hoping that someone will find it useful.

Last week I gave away some vector grunge and I’m here to show you how I made those shapes. In this video, we will be using Illustrator and a plugin called Scriptographer to achieve organic vector grunge textures, useful in a myriad of applications. Let’s get started.

Today I have a simple but important tip when drawing in Illustrator. Have you ever needed 2 points to be perfectly aligned but nudging simply won’t work? Well, you can align points, just like you can align objects. In this example I’m going to use some outlined text. Let’s get started.
I’m a day late, but I had trouble writing my own javascript for these textures. I thought I’d change things up a bit and make some vector textures. To generate these textures, I used an Illustrator plugin called Scriptographer. These are 5 vector grunge textures I created using scriptographer and Illustrator. I would share the script, but I’m not done with it yet. I have to figure out how to remove about 1000 empty layers first. Anyway, I like having this ability because I make fonts every once in a while and the ability to generate random shapes and subtract them form the letters will come in handy for making distressed fonts. These can also easily be converted to Photoshop brushes for easy stamping. I hope you guys like them!
