704 Dynamic warp distortions: Fish and Twist

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, we're going to take that incomplete artwork…that we've been creating right along…inside Adobe Illustrator.…And notice that we're missing the two z's…in the word puzzle.…And so we're going to bring back those z's…and integrate them into the other letter forms…using a couple of dynamic warp distortions,…once again inside Illustrator,…specifically fish and twist, believe it or not.…And you get to these features by going to the effect menu,…choosing warp, and then choosing any command.…It doesn't matter which one.…

So I could start by choosing flag,…and then I could switch to fish or twist…inside the dialog box.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right, here's that final version of the artwork,…opened up inside Illustrator.…The good news is we're more than halfway there.…And so here inside the layers panel,…I'll go ahead and twirl open the blends layer,…that is to say, expand it.…And I'll turn on this third blend down,…which is actually the second z in the word puzzle.…
