A New Trick I learned In Illustrator

I’ve been wanting to get better with Adobe Illustrator for a while now.  And I am getting better but at a very slow pace. That’s OK though. Getting better slowly is better than not getting better at all.

A great place to learn new Illustrator tricks is on Instagram. I started following this account @inspirationsl0g0. They post interesting design tutorials and tricks. The posts are typically in the form of really easy-to-follow videos.

This video demonstrates a cool text effect in illustrator that uses the blend tool and a 3D bevel effect.
