I'm using a typeface with rounded ends because I think that's just going to work better in this context. The first thing I want to do is apply a blur. I'm going to use a Gaussian blur of 10 pixels. So now I'm going to come to the object menu and rasterize this at a resolution of 150. Just going to add in a very small amount of space around the object, two millimeters. And the background is white. So now that I've created pixels, I want to convert this back to vectors. And I want to do that using an object mosaic. Now in this case I want 50 as the number of tiles for the width and then the height is going to be constrained to the ratio. That's going to delete the…
