[image description: six elongated pixel-style text reading "aroace" striped in the colours of three pride flags. A brown arrow shaft runs across the centre of the letters, forming the horizontal strokes of the letters "A", "E" and "R". A grey arrowhead sits in front of the text; flag-stripe fletching sits behind it. Each image is available in two versions with black or transparent background.
Stripes are coloured in the following aro-ace pride flags: cass (black/olive/orange/coral-pink/green), thelo (purple/white/yellow/green/navy) and unit (violet/lavender/dark blue/aqua/green).

Typography - gradient lines within the letter.
This design was one of the most complicated typography exercices we have done so far. I picked the word VITAMIN and a bold font, created outlines and removed any closed counters.
I deleted the fill and set the stroke to black. Then, using the transform effect I created some some lines within each letter. For every letter I used the exact same settings to make it look consistent. The most important thing to remember was to tick "scale strokes and effects" - this way the lines within the later didn't look were getting progressively thinner.
Once I'vepasted the effectto every letter, I changed the stroke to graadient and started ecperimenting with it a little until I was satisfied with it.
I also tried using a different background colour for it and I think that it looks even more interesting on black than it does on a white background.
Below are my final outcomes. They are very similar because I used the exact same technique on them however I slightly changed the settings each time to make it look more interesting.
I think it's a very interesting technique. To improve my designs, I could use bolder lines (I would first have to reduce their amount) and add more contrasting colours because if the design is scaled down or someone looks at it from a distance, they struggle to see what it says because of how thin the lines are. It could be used in a poster design. I am not going to use it in my FMP because I'm creating a brand identity - I want my designs to be easily memorable statements and this technique would not help me to achieve it.
