Hydro Tutorial | Art of Clipping
April 26, 2007
Okay. After a few suggestions, here is a real quick tutorial I threw together. Clipping is a simple function in Illustrator but sometimes the fun things you can do with it are over looked. Here is something i played with recently and i enjoyed the results.
Hydro Tutorial >> The Art of Clipping
*it’s saved as a pdf, but open the file in Illustrator.

Woah thanks I need all the knowledge I can get. oh and GREAT stuff!

Nice! Thank you. There is much to be learned from a jedi master such as yourself. Your noble padawan I am.
Oh and just a suggestion, you might want to outline your fonts and possibly even backsave down to an earlier version of Illustrator before you make your PDFs so there’re less issues opening the file to those of us that haven’t bit the bullet and upgraded to the yearly update from Adobe.
the great stuff continues……! thanks………..!
nice tips, thanks for the effort!
Ahh thanks mate! Tips are always appreciated.
Peace. PT.
Hydro you truly are a giver.

Going though your blogs, I feel like a kid who just woke up on Christmas morning. I, seriously, think you should write a book on illustrating/ photoshopping/ typography…basically everything you know.
Thanx for sharing all this work in your blogs and on your site, I can’t tell you how much I’ve been inspired by it all over the years.
Anyway, keep it coming! Peace.
I can’t download ANYTHING from your site. I get the 404 error. Can you please fix that?
