Create Hand Lettered Text Typography- Decal for 13" Macbook

How's it going everyone, welcome back to another Spoon Graphics video tutorial. Today's video is all about custom type in Adobe Illustrator. Now I have to admit I'm a bit of a noob when a comes to hand lettering, so in this tutorial I'm going to share some secrets on how you can still create cool looking typography by customising ready-made fonts. Once I've brushed up on my hand lettering skills enough to be able to draw out custom type from scratch I'll make a video on scanning and vectorising your artwork, but today I'll show you how us mere mortals can make use of the high quality fonts with OpenType features that have been made by the typographic gods. The tutorial will then continue with some customisation of the type to add shadows, offset accents and highlights to create a bright and colourful typography designs. So begin by opening up Adobe Illustrator and create a new document.
