How do you make something look metallic in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:58 pm

Illustrator is a great program for creating graphics that look metallic. There are a few ways to do this, and each method has its own set of pros and cons.

One way to make something look metallic in Illustrator is to use the Metal typeface. This font has a metallic look, and it can be used to create graphics that look like they are made of metal.

One downside to using the Metal typeface is that it can be a bit difficult to use. It may take some experimentation to find the right settings for it.

PRO TIP: When using metallic colors in Illustrator, it is important to be aware of the color mode you are working in. Metallic colors will only print correctly in CMYK color mode, so be sure to convert your document to CMYK before printing.

Another way to make something look metallic in Illustrator is to use the Metalicsettings typeface.

The downside to using the Metalicsettings typeface is that it is not as versatile as the Metal typeface. It may not have the same metallic look as some of the other typefaces in Illustrator.

Both of these methods have their own set of pros and cons. Ultimately, it will depend on the look that you are going for in your graphic.

If you are not sure how to achieve the look that you are looking for, it may be best to experiment with different typefaces until you find one that works best for you.
