Vintage comic book text effects in just a few clicks!

These Illustrator actions are inspired by vintage comic text effects from the 1950’s. Based on a coloring technique from back in the days, the actions produce an authentic color offset by overlaying yellow, magenta and cyan. And for even more vintage comics awesomeness I have added halftone variations, 3D shadows and text outlines typical for vintage comic book text. All of that in Adobe Illustrator.

Here is what you get:

• master file including 2 halftone patterns, 63 color swatches and 2 graphic styles
• 25 actions producing 25 unique vintage comic text effects
• an additional version of the actions with pop up instructions to guide you through the process
• user guide with step-by-step instructions
• color chart plus coloring tips to help you achieve genuine colors just like in the old days
• cheat sheet with example effects
