Metal/Metallic Text: Adobe Illustrator CS3 Tutorial

Check this video out at Hi-Res here: http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials/illustrator/tutorials/metalText.php

We are using Illustrator CS3, although CS2 should work fine as well with this video, to create some metal text that is fully vector. We will apply various strokes, expand strokes, work with effects, groups, and gradients and more!

Ive used photoshop for years, after trying out illustrator i'd never go back to ps for anything to do with the web unless it's some end tweaking, it rocks!

Very nice effect but your style and pace, and misuse of terms makes it confusing to follow due to the complex process. Users must review too many times to be clear & even then it's hard due to speedingupand, slllooooowwwwing of your words (cavalier-cowboy-style:), and the incorrect or general terms (using "foreground" and "background", & rushing over steps).

Great technique though. Just my opinion,... to help u appeal to a wider audience.

score: 7.5/10 but it could have rated an 8, 9 or 10/10.

Way too long...you talk too fast- after about 12 minutes you were too fast. You gotta slow down some people are not in CS3 and have different drop downs slightly.

That's a really silly comment. Illustrator and PS are totally different. No one should substitute another. Ai is a vector software and PS isn't. Take for instance Ai is for CREATING and PS for EDITING.
