THANK YOU FOR THE SHORTCUT KEYS. Every other tutorial expects me to know everything lol

[@NoobHit]

Short, to the point and easy to follow along tutorial. Two thumbs up. Great work.

[@klaidi6815]

Finally a video here!
Keep up the great work.

[@faresali3778]

THIS IS THE MOST COMPLICATED VIDEO I WATCHED MY ENTIRE LIFE

[@fewny2691]

its so simple but it looks so clean. A little redundant for someone who knows what they are doing but obviously this is made for beginners. I bet my 75 year old grandma could do this if she watched this video and she cant use computers very well at all. good video!

[@averothemariemayol1817]

Hi, thanks so much for this video. It helped me reach a deadline for a design deliverable. I'll keep supporting your wonderful content. Keep it up!

[@mardanafin]

Thank you very much. I really love your guide. Know I'm understand how to use Affinity through your Adobe Illustrator

[@unaizakhalid660]

Thanks a lot for this! Applying in 2022 and loving it

[@drewwilken9894]

great explanation, finally! keep it up

[@termeap]

Great tutorial, but it's missing one thing, before using "shape builder", select all and go to object, click expand, then do the shape builder thing.

[@镖师]

thanks, no wonder when i did the shape builder thing, the whole line went missing

[@bjorndouglas6905]

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me

[@bjorndouglas6905]

@Coen Kaden thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bjorndouglas6905]

@Coen Kaden it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@Prettyboydougie56]

Thank u and great turtorial

[@joyboy1536]

But when I tried to do this with other words, I faced some problems! Like I tried to do it with the word "HACKED". And when I was doing the shape building thing (Holding Shift+Select & drag on the objects) the spaces in the middle of the letters "A" and "D" were getting filled with pink like the strokes somehow! How to fix this?

[@BIGGELATO]

the end result messes my eye up lol good work

[@pratheekk__]

yeah bro lmao

[@johnguillen68]

Great tutorial. I have a question, let's say you want to make this into a teeshirt but instead you want to make the font color see-through so that the color of the shirt will be the font color, how would you do that?

[@MarcoFalanga]

great tutorial. i have a problem with an O. When i do selections it selects also the hole of the O, how can i solve it?

[@triviatrove6219]

Thank's !

[@jacobdavies1162]

Awesome....thanks

[@kylepalmer7518]

I'm having trouble.. I'm using a different word for mine and it has a capital D in it so when I shift select to go through the selection it merges the negative space from the D too. how do I fix this?

[@William-McCueRC]

same issue here bro if its for begginners why isnt he helping people in the comments

[@77y7]

@@William-McCueRC Shift click everything you need instead of making the rectangle...

[@TheDebiBoo]

Thank you for that tutorial ! Wondering what the compound path are for... ? Doesn't it work the same without them ?

[@DesignMadeSimple]

Compound paths unifies the individual pieces together so that they function as a single path instead of multiple.

[@mhc_isme]

Why not just group them instead of making them into a compound path? I'm sure there is a reason but I don't what it is.

[@kemboibrian]

I know this is an illustrator tutorial but man, you can do this in just a few steps using photoshop

[@tarkanuzun6164]

My text won't split into individual shapes. How do I do this?

[@tehsoulkeeper]

I got the same problem!

[@tehsoulkeeper]

And I just found a solution: Take the line segment tool, at 0.25 pt, drag lines to where you want the shapes to be cut and change the color to black to make the lines visible. Then go to pathfinder, select everything and tap on "divide". Then select everything again and tap on "ungroup". Now, last step is to select all of the shapes like he did in the vid, but right click and tap on "group". Now you can move them all and create a glitch effect.

[@tehsoulkeeper]

Oh and a last note: You will have to delete the lines you did with the line segment tool in the end too, with alt and the line segment tool.

[@nanakchadha7238]

bro mine does not slit like urs
