721 Drawing a stylish computer key

Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 721 Drawing a stylish computer key, part of Deke's Techniques.

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week we're in Illustrator…where I'm gonna show you how to draw type…as computer keys.…But not old school keys like these,…nothing against Logitech, they make great stuff.…But if you're gonna go to the time and effort…of drawing a computer key…it should look like it came from a backlit MacBook Pro.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…And so once again we're modeling our computer keys…off of those included on a MacBook Pro.…

And for you type geeks out there…we've got a VAG rounded character from 2014 and earlier,…as well as the San Francisco character from 2015 and later.…All right, I'm gonna start off inside…of this document right here,…in which I've gone ahead and converted…this type to path outlines,…just in case you don't have these fonts.…But if you do have the fonts…I do have editable text documents…inside of the live type subfolder.…All right, also notice that I have…a couple of center guides.…And in case you're wondering how I put those together…
