Here is a STEP BY STEP tutorial of how these POPPING 3D TEXT EFFECTS were created.

You will need:

Adobe Illustrator

Step 1: Create your file (duh)

In this case I will be using 1080 x 1080 - but your dimensions will differ depending on the e-book!

Step 2: Add your Text

Create the text, whatever you want! As for the font, I almost always use Bebas.

Step 3: Create 3 New Layers

Now, create 3 new layers. Then, copy & paste the text onto each of the layers

You should have something like this so far.

Step 4: Name Your Layers

You should have 3 layers each with the same text.

You may have trouble following along so rename your text layers accordingly. (I changed the top text color to red)

Step 5: Placement of Text

Now, take the ‘Red TEXT’ & place it directly on top of ‘Blend 2’

Step 6: So close!

Make the red text layer invisible for now.

Take the Blend 1 layer and move it to the bottom left of the screen, make sure it’s off the artboard

Step 7: Blending

Then, go to the top panel and select “Object> Blend> Blend Options” & insert the settings I have

Click ‘OK’ when done

Step 8:

So close! Hold shift & left click the two circles as shown on the image!

Then, when those two layers are selected. Press “ALT+SHIFT+B”

OR

Go to “ Object> Blend> Make”

Step 9: Complete!

Now, your artboard should look like this.

All you need to do now is make the red text layer visible!

The final result & an example with a little bit of editing!
