Then select all the former text objects and apply the gradient from the Swatches panel.
If you’re working with more than one line of text, you’ll have to ungroup it, then release the compound path (Object > Paths > Release Compound Path). To do this, convert the type to outlines (Type > Create Outlines). If you want to apply the gradient to each letter separately, then you’ll have to make each letter a separate object with its own fill. With the type selected, you can use the Gradient panel to move the stops around until you get the final effect you want. Use the Gradient tool and drag from the middle of the area inside the curve (in this case the center of the sun) to the top of one of the letters. What if your type is on a curve? How can you get that gradient to fill the letters? In that case, use a radial gradient, with the gradient stops all clustered toward one end of the gradient. So you’d have to reapply the gradient (and possibly change its type from Radial to Linear), and drag with the Gradient tool to get the effect you want. So you can fit a block of type with a gradient pretty easily, by selecting the text frame, and in the Swatches panel, targeting the text and selecting the gradient.īut if you reshape the text frame, the gradient does not come along for the ride. The thing to remember about filling type with gradients is that the gradient is really applied to the container, and only displayed in the type. Comic Sans used in a kindergarten graduation program isn’t going to hurt anyone. With that out of the way, let’s see how to fill type with cool (or warm) gradients, like so. Comic Sans used on a college graduation program is an abomination. Before you say, “filling type with a gradient is an abomination!” I’ll just say that the abomination is in the eye of the beholder-and in the context.
