digitizing a two color blend???

[elaine]

I have a customer that would like a font (playbill BT) in a two color blend ...is that possible
when I bring in a eps file (that I created in corel) it wont bring the blend over...is there a way to digitize this?

I'd type out the text once, copy and paste it, convert the top one to wireframe, convert that to a complex fill, merge all the individual pieces of each letter together, then create a custom density to get the blending effect. You'll have to do it for each individual letter, but it might be the effect you want.

yes, there is a way to set a blend!
darned if I can remember it right now...I've done it before with lettering and with fills...
old notes from training...let's see...
can't find it! I think it has to do with 'random edge' effect...
if we find it before someone else posts it I'll drop it in here-but it's an 'easy' do instead of having to wireframe everything.
