How to Create a colorful Rainbow Text Effect in Adobe Illustrator
How do I make text look vintage?
For a “smeared ink” effect, duplicate the text layer and then shift it three pixels up, down, left or right. Use the “Eraser” tool with a hardness of “0” percent and erase parts of the duplicate layer. The layer underneath showing through will give your text the appearance of an old typewriter that smudged the ink.
