Choose your desired document size and go to the left side toolbar. Click on the Type Tool or press “T” from your keyboard to select the Type Tool.

Now select the “F” by “Selection Tool” and press “Ctrl + C” to copy and then paste by pressing “Ctrl+V”.

Now Change the second copy color to your choice. Go to the right side “Properties” panel and under the “Appearance” section, click on the box next to the “Fill” option. I am choosing red.

Now, select both texts by using “Selection Tool”.

Go to top menu and click on “Object” >> “Blend” >> “Make”.

Then, again go to “Object” >> “Blend” >> this time press “Blend Options”

Now, choose the settings as written below.

Press OK. Your text will look something like this.

Click on the right centered point and drag it to upward left.

Your flip text effect is ready.
