00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.040
Okay. Have you ever seen some fonts,

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:12.540
and you're like, how did they make it look so pretty?

00:00:12.540 --> 00:00:14.160
You can see that's the one we've worked in,

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.495
in the last example.

00:00:15.495 --> 00:00:19.520
These little extra fonts are called ligatures and the part of the font but hidden away.

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:22.255
You can see this one here like this y. That's the default y.

00:00:22.255 --> 00:00:26.100
But look at all the varieties of Y's you get to pick from saying for this ampersand

00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:28.500
here all sorts of different versions to help

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:31.050
you pick the one that's perfect for your situation.

00:00:31.050 --> 00:00:35.485
So let's go and do that and look at something called ligatures.

00:00:35.485 --> 00:00:38.700
Ligatures, although they're different from glyphs,

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.490
they are actually found in the exact same place,

00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:43.955
so let's zoom in on healing herbs.

00:00:43.955 --> 00:00:47.370
What we want to do is we want to see if there's

00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:51.090
any more special H's say with this H is nice,

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:53.400
but we want to fancy it up a little bit.

00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:56.085
With it selected go to Type and go to Glyphs.

00:00:56.085 --> 00:00:59.135
What will happen is if you've got a letter selected, you can see in here,

00:00:59.135 --> 00:01:01.220
it's giving you other options for

00:01:01.220 --> 00:01:04.405
that H. I'm going to make them a lot bigger so we can see.

00:01:04.405 --> 00:01:08.680
This one here, you can see there's three versions of it.

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:09.950
So there's this version.

00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.815
Then I click on this version and you're going to double-click on it.

00:01:12.815 --> 00:01:16.070
You see it replaced it with a sushi fancy version.

00:01:16.070 --> 00:01:17.225
Do I like it more?

00:01:17.225 --> 00:01:18.530
What's the difference between these two?

00:01:18.530 --> 00:01:20.060
I can't see the difference,

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:21.155
held in this one.

00:01:21.155 --> 00:01:23.030
There is only actually two options.

00:01:23.030 --> 00:01:25.760
So a fancy that this one maybe this S,

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:26.795
is there anything for the S?

00:01:26.795 --> 00:01:28.205
You highlight them and you hope for the best.

00:01:28.205 --> 00:01:30.960
This one here has a slightly different version.

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:35.115
This one here you can see a spiky version.

00:01:35.115 --> 00:01:40.620
Now there'll be some litters that adjust more prone to having sushi extra bits.

00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:42.050
You can start to see down here,

00:01:42.050 --> 00:01:43.115
let's have a look in,

00:01:43.115 --> 00:01:47.295
I'm going to make a new text box just for an example.

00:01:47.295 --> 00:01:49.580
I'm going to type in Y and a lowercase y,

00:01:49.580 --> 00:01:51.410
and you'll see if a highlight y,

00:01:51.410 --> 00:01:52.850
it has this version.

00:01:52.850 --> 00:01:54.875
I can just double-clicking it just to see.

00:01:54.875 --> 00:02:01.740
But you can see y in this case there has so many versions because it ends lots of words.

00:02:02.090 --> 00:02:06.710
It's got a nice shape to do these types of flourishes and they are called ligatures,

00:02:06.710 --> 00:02:09.500
just somebody designs the font and then go through and goes,

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:11.400
"What about if it was like this and like this?",

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.660
and allows you to do some extra bits and pieces.

00:02:14.660 --> 00:02:15.840
I find x quite useful.

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.460
I don't know why, but ampersand is one of those latest that you end up using quite a lot.

00:02:19.460 --> 00:02:22.280
So ampersand is that, the end.

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:26.100
But you'll notice in here there's some really cool ampersands.

00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:30.455
There's that one, double click it. There's that one.

00:02:30.455 --> 00:02:32.120
Double click it, that one then,

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.120
the same font but a very different look and feels for them.

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.550
So if you're doing an invite and I feel like I've done

00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:40.400
about a zillion wedding invites in my design career and it's

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.180
always like Dan and Katie's invite you to their weeding and it's always

00:02:44.180 --> 00:02:46.490
the ampersand you spend the most time on because it's doing

00:02:46.490 --> 00:02:49.370
you a big ingredient for the design.

00:02:49.370 --> 00:02:50.825
If you look in here though,

00:02:50.825 --> 00:02:54.260
and let's say we pick a font that isn't as exciting.

00:02:54.260 --> 00:02:56.550
So I'm going to copy and paste this one.

00:02:56.660 --> 00:02:59.285
I'm going to go this and I'm going to pick,

00:02:59.285 --> 00:03:02.105
say your company uses Times New Roman.

00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:05.030
I'm going to pick Times Regular, and healing herbs,

00:03:05.030 --> 00:03:09.240
I'm going to highlight the H and there's no ligatures.

00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:10.625
So you might just find that,

00:03:10.625 --> 00:03:12.140
especially if it's a free font,

00:03:12.140 --> 00:03:13.925
there's going to be no ligatures.

00:03:13.925 --> 00:03:15.830
If it's just our real plain font,

00:03:15.830 --> 00:03:19.580
they haven't gone through and done a sushi looking H. All right,

00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:22.475
my friends that is looking at ligatures.

00:03:22.475 --> 00:03:26.750
I'm going to go through and tidy this up and you can skip on to the next one.

00:03:26.750 --> 00:03:28.055
So we need you.

00:03:28.055 --> 00:03:30.965
I don't really like the little Whately, do I like it?

00:03:30.965 --> 00:03:35.770
I'm not sure. But let's go onto the next video anyway. I'll see you over there.
