This Trending Text Effect Is Perfect For Streetwear ๐ (Hollow Text Effect Tutorial)
TLDRIn this tutorial, the creator guides viewers on how to achieve the trending hollow text effect using a graphic design tool. The process involves starting with a canvas and an image, such as a marble statue on a white background, which can be cleanly separated from the background. The text 'marble' is added using a specific font and is then duplicated to create a hollow effect. The tutorial also explores using shapes, like midcentury stars, to create a similar cutout effect. Further customization is shown by experimenting with the vectorizer tool and different colors to achieve unique variations. The video concludes with a demonstration of how to apply this effect to create a thumbnail with a gradient background, a statue, and text. The presenter encourages viewers to subscribe for more tutorials and offers a promo code for a Pro Plan in the video description.

Q & A
What is the title of the tutorial video?
-The title of the tutorial video is 'This Trending Text Effect Is Perfect For Streetwear ๐ (Hollow Text Effect Tutorial)'.
What is the purpose of using a white background in the video?
-The purpose of using a white background is to cleanly remove the subject from the background, which aids in creating the hollow text effect.
What is the name of the font used in the video?
-The font used in the video is called 'Came Poster'.
How does one create a hollow text effect?
-To create a hollow text effect, you duplicate the text layer, remove the fill color from the duplicate, and add a black border weight to it. Then, send the black text to the back of the artboard to create a cutout window effect.
What is the alternative to using a white background?
-An alternative is to duplicate the layer, move the background from the duplicate layer to the top, and then remove the original background to keep it intact. This allows you to sandwich the text between two layers.
How can you further enhance the hollow text effect?
-You can enhance the hollow text effect by using shapes, such as midcentury star shapes, and applying the same technique of removing the fill and adding a border to create a cutout effect with the shapes.
What is the process to duplicate the artboard in the video?
-To duplicate the artboard, hold the option key and drag the artboard to create a copy.
How does one align the shapes to create a cutout effect?
-Select the shapes and send the filled shape to the back, then align the shapes so that they overlap and create a cutout effect where the background is visible through the shapes.
What is the name of the tool used for experimenting with images?
-The tool used for experimenting with images is called 'Vectorizer'.
How can one change the color of the text or shapes in the design?
-To change the color, select the text or shape, and then modify the fill color or border weight to the desired color.
What is the final step shown in the video to complete the design?
-The final step shown is placing the elements in the desired positions, resizing them as needed, and ensuring they are layered correctly to achieve the desired cutout effect.
What is the name of the software used in the tutorial?
-The software used in the tutorial is not explicitly mentioned in the transcript, but it is likely referring to a design software that supports vector graphics and text manipulation.
Outlines
๐จ Creating a Hollow Text Effect in KD
The first paragraph introduces the process of creating a hollow text effect using a graphic design tool, KD. The speaker begins by selecting a marble statue image on a white background from the images panel. They explain that the white background allows for easy subject removal, but also mention that one can keep the background by duplicating the layer and manipulating it. The speaker then adds a text box with the word 'marble' using the Came Poster font in black. The text is centered and sized appropriately, followed by the creation of a duplicate text layer. The fill color of the duplicate is removed, and a black border is added. The black text is sent to the back to create a cutout window effect. The paragraph concludes with a suggestion to take the effect further by duplicating the artboard and experimenting with shapes, specifically midcentury star shapes found in the elements panel.
๐ Experimenting with Shapes and Vectorizer
The second paragraph continues the tutorial by demonstrating how to achieve a similar cutout effect using shapes. The speaker duplicates the artboard and removes the text, then selects midcentury star shapes from the abstract section. These shapes are colored black and duplicated to create a border-only version. The shapes are aligned to create a cutout effect. The tutorial then shows how to duplicate and resize the shapes to place them on a subject's shoulder. The process is repeated with different elements, emphasizing the versatility of the cutout effect. The speaker also explores using the vectorizer tool with the image, suggesting playing with one or two colors to create variations. The vectorized image is given a white border, and text is layered on top, aligned to match the vectorized image. The paragraph concludes with a time-lapse demonstration of using the cutout effect to create a thumbnail, using a gradient background, the statue, and text. The video ends with a call to action to subscribe to the channel for more tutorials, and a mention of a promo code in the video description for a Pro Plan discount.
