    In this video I'm sharing a couple of secrets that a lot of people use to either make Y2K style logos, or how people make their logos look Y2K - ish. You've probably seen techniques like these used by designers such as Hvnter. You can also find the logo's in the Wipeout Games. These effects are done in Illustrator but if you're good with photoshop you can probably mimic most of the things I'm doing in this video.

    if youre gonna use the vector file i wouldnt use the blend method, when u zoom in it wont be a smooth line, its better to just duplicate the text, position it like he did here. and then with the pen tool connect the edges, if u dont know where to put your lines u can do the blend, put that on a low opacity, and trace the lines where the letter and shadow connect.

    • @Hot18Shot
      @Hot18Shot Pƙed 2 lety

      Yeah, that's the way I would have done it. The pen tool is a godsend. No need to spend a few minutes on a single step when it could take you literal seconds with the pen tool.
