To have a better view of your floral elements, swap the Fill and Stroke colors ( X) in the Toolbar to make the stroke white and the background transparent.Ĭreate a duplicate of the text by dragging its thumbnail to the new layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

Select all the text, and in the Pathfinder panel choose Unite to do it. If your text overlaps, you need to merge it together. This will let you apply some of the needed modifications later on. Do this by going to Type > Create Outlines. If using a font, once you are done you will need to flatten it. Resize it to fit your needs and use white as the Fill color.

Lock the layer for now by clicking on the left side of its thumbnail in the Layers panel.

In Floral Typography, you can create artwork that is fresh and interesting by combining text with floral elements.
