I wanted to write out a quick tutorial on how to create dynamic pattern text using Illustrator CS3.

This will really just cover how to add a pattern to the text, without much fuss or sweat; I did notice that the pattern I chose turned out to not work great in this instance, so be careful on the pattern you choose beforehand to make sure it will tile well (within text).

Okay, let’s get started: First off head over to a really kool site Patternwall.com to find a good tilable pattern.

I have some dynamic text for you to download; with a choice of 5 different camouflage patterns. These can be typed into any words/sentences you need – using any font you want! I made these in Arial Black since most people will have that font by default, but feel free to play with the fonts/sizing/offsets to get the just-right look you need.

If you’re an AIM user, you might find these useful – I have 25 AIM icons (different flavors – look out Baskin Robins) for you to play with.

All icons are 256 x 256px in PNG format with transparent backgrounds.

Download them all in one ZIP file after the jump.

Click the image here to see the transparent properties of each icon.
