In the following steps you will learn how to create a chemistry tubes text effect in Adobe Illustrator. For starters you will learn how to setup a grid and how to create a simply piece of text. Using basic tools and effects along with the Snap to Grid feature you will learn how to create the main shape. Moving on you will learn how to add subtle shading and highlights using the Appearance panel, build-in patterns plus some basic blending and vector shape building techniques. Finally, you will learn how to create a nice, textured background.
1. Create a New Document and Set Up a Grid
Hit Control-N to create a new document. Select Pixels from the Units drop-down menu, enter 925 in the width box and 335 in the height box then click on the Advanced button. Select RGB, Screen (72ppi) and make sure that the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid box is unchecked before you click OK.
Enable the Grid (View > Show Grid) and the Snap to Grid (View > Snap to Grid). For starters you will need a grid every 5px, so simply go to Edit > Preferences > Guides > Grid, enter 5 in the Gridline every box and 1 in the Subdivisions box. You should also open the Info panel (Window > Info) for a live preview with the size and position of your shapes. Do not forget to set the unit of measurement to pixels from Edit > Preferences > Units > General. All these options will significantly increase your work speed.
2. Create the Main Shape
Step 1
Focus on your Toolbar, remove the color from the stroke then select the fill and set its color at black (R=0 G=0 B=0). Grab the Type Tool (T), simply click on your artboard and add the "EXPERIMENT" piece of text. Make sure that it stays selected, open the Character panel (Window > Type > Character), select the Agency FB font, set the size at 150pt and the tracking at 100.
Move to the Transparency panel (Window > Transparency) and simply lower the Opacity of your text to 30%. Switch to the Selection Tool (V) and move your piece of text a little, just so it snaps to the grid as shown in the following image. Finally, go to the Layers panel (Window > Layers) and simply lock your text to make sure that you won’t accidentally select/move it..
Step 2
Pick the Pen Tool (P) and create a simple path as shown in the following image. This will make up the first letter from your "EXPERIMENT". Keep focusing on this new path, make sure that there is no color set for the fill then add a 10pt Stroke Weight and set its color at R=38 G=34 B=98.
Step 3
Keep focusing on your little path and extend it as shown in the following image. Simply add the rest of the letters. You might have to use your imagination if you choose to use a different word, but keep in mind that there should be a 30px gap between each letter and a 10px gap between the adjacent paths that make up a certain letter. Also, try to use the locked text in the back as a rough reference. The grid and the Snap to Grid feature will also ease your work.
Step 4
Move to the Layers panel and simply remove that locked piece of text. Keep focusing on your path and add several new anchor points as shown in the first image. Once again, the Snap to Grid will ease your work. Make sure that your path is still selected and go to Effect > Stylize > Rounded Corners. Enter a 10px Radius, click OK and go to Object > Path > Outline Stroke.
Step 5
Using the Ellipse Tool (L), create a 45px circle, set the fill color at R=38 G=34 B=98 and place it as shown in the first image. Continue with the Ellipse Tool (L), create two, 50px circles, use the same fill color and place them as shown in the second image.
Step 6
Select all the shapes made so far, open the Pathfinder panel (Window > Pathfinder) and click the Unite button. Move to the Layers panel, simply double-click on the existing shape and name it "main". This should make it easier for you to find later.
3. Create the Blue and the Orange Liquid
