Today we are going to manipulate and adapt fonts by using the "Type">"Create Outlines" function in Illustrator. Start with a simple font that reflects something about you. Type your initials and arrange them in an interesting way. Make sure to use the Selection Tool (black arrow) to select the text box before you click on Create Outlines.Then use the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow) to click and drag the various points arround your text/initials to manipulate and mould the font to suite you. You can change colour, apply a gradient, or an interesting effect to your font once you have applied Create Outlines.
