Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video Making a coupon border with scissors, part of Illustrator CC 2013 One-on-One: Intermediate.
In this movie, we'll transition from a real world application of the Width…tool to a real world application of all of the Stroke Options working together.…Specifically, we are going to take this base art and…we're going to combine a bunch of different Stroke Options…in order to create this final golden ticket effect…here And there's an awful lot of stuff going on.…I'll go ahead and zoom in so that we can see.…In addition to this Multistroke Effect that I've applied to the headline text,…we also have these engraving lines in the background that…are all based on a single horizontal line and that's it.…
And we're going to start things off by creating this kind of coupon border…with a pair of scissors cutting into it, a relatively classic coupon effect.…So, I'll switch back to the base art here.…And I'll click on the outer rectangle with the Black Arrow tool deselect it.…And then, I'll bring up my Stroke panel from…the Control panel, and I'll change the Line Weight value…to 3 points.…And then I'll turn on the Dashed Line checkbox and I want to dial…
