Today I show how to create illustration with hand lettering style texts inside. Such works always looks authentic and great.
Then cleaning work, remove excess lines using Shape Builder Tool ( Shift + M). Press and hold Alt for remove function.
Next step - fill the spaces to do design more bold and add details - belts, lines etc.
When the backpack is ready, choose fonts and go to Envelope Mesh. Object - Envelope Distort - Make with Mesh ( Alt + Ctrl + M)
Set up. Rows 1, Columns - depending on number of letters. As a rule i set up columns for 1 less value than letters number (for example word consist of 5 letters, so columns will be 4)
Texts now turned into a grid with anchors. Start playing with anchors using Direct Selection Tool (A)
When i satisfied add some decorations - swirls and lines to fill out the free space and for beauty :) Text integration is over.
Now all we need to do is find inspirational photography ( recommend Unsplash.com / Pixabay.com or Stocksnap.io ) and place design to it.
Cute travel illustration with texts inside is ready.
