this is awesome! before i knew about the blend tool to do this, I was doing this instead (which took me forever): - create text outlines -make sure snap to grid is on & adjust subdivisions accordingly - add anchor points to the area you want the word to end; ex: at 1.5 in y-axis all the way across -repeat for every letter & word -select the old area you want to cut off and delete it - copy & paste the original outlined text and repeat the process of adjusting where you want the new text to end -ex: you could have grid preferences on gridline every 1 inch with 8 subdivisions. you can add anchor points on every subdivision 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-full text or 2-4-6-full text, etc. - I don't know if this makes sense as to what I did but this shortcut is going to help me immensely! Look forward to trying out the screen & multiply blending modes using your photocopy textures!
Thanks man, guys if you want to make this as a png without the background all you have to do is when you first create the first black square background set the opacity at 0% with the black color or any other colour so that you can make a transperent background with the text still.
When I select the bottom most layer with the direct selection tool and swap the stroke and fill, it applies the fill / colour swap to all repeated layers in the blend. I made sure to only select the single layer, not the blend group.
Have you grouped the original text with the square-shaped before making the blend as he said yet? I didn't group mine and the Blend ''make'' is grayed and weird looking.

Your convert anchor point tool shows a preview as you drag, but mine doesn't. I have to let go to see where it will go. Is there a setting or preference i'm missing?
When you use direct selection tool to change the stroke of the last line of text it only lets me select one individual letter. How do I select all the text in the bottom to change the stroke color at the same time? When I click on the text box it only allows me to fill the black box color not the letters.
I found a fix for greyed out object-blend-make and you have to group the rectangle and text as he does then select the text and hit object-expand-click ok It should now let you use blend-make :)
when i paste the larger rectangle behind the text and the rectangle bounded to it behind,i can still see that the rectangle around is the text is not visually blended to the bakcround rectangle,the line still appear,what should i do ?
when I use the anchor point tool it just drags the text boxes further down instead of spacing them out inside the rectangle like it does in the video at 3:32. Does anyone know why that is // how i can change it?
Hi, When I am doing the outline stroke to the topmost text, it is making all the bottom ones too with the added outlines. How to fix this? Please reply.
2 years late, but I had to select all, go to the object section in the tool bar at the top, click expand, after that I selected the Letter separately with shift, and then I used stroke with no fill. Maybe this is helpful to anyone reading this 2024 and beyond :)
You can reduce the opacity of the duplicated object and then use the blend option and that will make a fade effect. This works for colours as well, you could change the colour of the duplicate and it will blend the colours as well.
The tutorial in itself is good. However, you go rather fast and do not highlight the areas and tools you are using. This may be good for those that know where to go and what tool to grab, but for those wanting to learn the way to do this, way too fast and not exactly clear on steps.
Don’t know if you’ve figured this out already but it might be because your text is area text! You can’t blend area text. So instead of selecting the text tool and drawing a text box, just click and type straight on the art board, if that makes sense.

Is it possibly to adobe dynamic link this in after effects and animate it?
If you find the part where the Blend and Make is greyed out, go the Type Menu and Convert to Point Type. It should work now.
Thank you so much for that tip! I couldn't figure out why it was greyed out, but that helped!
Thanks a bunch ✨✨✨

this comment just saved me. THANK YOU!!!
So would I just use a different color lettering to not mix it up with the white background ? Or would I still do it off to the side

You can reduce the opacity of the duplicated object and then use the blend option and that will make a fade effect. This works for colours as well, you could change the colour of the duplicate and it will blend the colours as well.
Is it possible to make this in photoshop without just layers clonning? some third party plugins?!!

you would use masks for each of the secondaries, it's a different process entirely I think
how do you cut text vertically and not horizontally?
