The SymbolHeadline Adobe Illustrator plugin helps you create you own banner and headline designs.
Rain effects, ever changing animations, backgrounds, animated backgrounds and textures and more
A simple easy-to-use plugin for Illustrator to create dynamic symbol banners or headlines, animated (or not). Powerful options/presets.
SymbolHeadline is packed with superb randomization features, use random selection of symbols and more.
SymbolHeadline can use random symbols or ordered selection of symbols to great effect. Create truly superb text effects and more.
SymbolHeadline has many presets included to help you use the plug-in as well as showcase many different effects. The actual result of the preset depends on the symbols actually stored in the symbols palette.
Use native symbols or use native brushes and convert to symbols. Illustrator comes with a huge selection of native symbols but you can also easily create your own. Simply drag an image or path or set of paths into the symbols palette. The symbol palette can also be modified, items removed, positions changed, symbols re-defined etc
Once the symbols have been added, you can also use the native symbol tools such as scruncher to tweak or replace the symbols at a later stage of creative process
The symbols have a set size and initial angle, the plugin can set the symbol initial size and angle (though this is not any particular use if one of the symbols is 20 times the size of another as all the symbols are reduced in size. The symbol headline tool works best if all the symbols are the same size. There is no particular easy way of doing this via the palette, other than re-creating the symbol and reducing or increasing the size or changing the angle.
SymbolHeadline defaults to displaying the symbols in all the slots of the headline.. So if 10 symbols are requested, 10 symbols are slotted in at 20pt gaps by default. If you wish to have a random placement or perhaps 2 symbols gap 2 symbols gap, the placement option needs to be set. The placement also controls the randomization of the symbols so perhaps more symbols than gaps are created or just 50-50.
If there is more than one symbol in the symbols palette, symbols are either selected in an ordered manner from the symbols palette or picked randomly depending on the options set on the dialog
