Shattered Text In Adobe Illustrator

Create the Text & Convert to Outlines

Using the pathfinder palette, you can shatter the text. Create your text. Click the selection tool to get a bounding box around the text, then go to Type > Create Outlines. This makes a group of separate objects of the letters.
