Sometimes you just need to grunge it up… In this tutorial I show you how to add a weathered grunge effect to your vector artwork in Adobe Illustrator. It's as simple as converting two objects to compound paths and performing ONE Pathfinder operation. You'll be amazed at just how easy it is to add this cool effect to your logos.
NOTE: This tutorial should work in any version of Adobe Illustrator, not just Illustrator CC.

most simple and most easy way to add grunge effect that i saw in youtube by now

@nicholaslippold9767 4 жыл бұрын

Seriously, this is the most helpful KZfaq Tutorial I have ever watched. I've literally been using Illustrator since the old Illustrator 88 and this is a great, super simple trick! I have always gone the long path, creating my effect in PhotoShop, turning to paths and exporting paths to Illustrator. This is so much more straight forward and is going to save me countless hours!

More easy way. type your text or make logo then right button create out line- transparency : make mask- mark Clip - go second black box then unmarked Clip. now copy your grunge and paste it on your text. click invert mask finally click left hand transparency box and you are done. you can change your color as your wish. thanks

Great video, i liked it. From 6min: Instead of using pathfinder which will work but will not give you option to simply go back if you want to change anything on texture or replace it there is much better way how to do it. Go to windows panel and select transparency. 1) Have both objects selected ( texture on top) 2) click on make mask 3) click on invert mask 4) click on clip(have it unchecked). Boom done. There are two small squares, when clicked on right you can continue with work, when clicked on left you can change size of textures etc. And there is release box if you need to start from scratch. Im sure you know that just letting others to know :)

Hey Justin, nice share! I must be missing one step cuz the grunge applied to the logo is not transparent but it remains black once I apply the pathfinder minus back effect, everything else around the logo disappears except the grunge on the logo which is black. Any thoughts?

I am so much more comfortable in illustrator but for this, i might just use ps as you said in the beginning in ps its a lot easier just using the eraser and a brush on a mask layer,, thanks for the tutorial though,, very professional ,still I will subscribe to your channel.
