adobe illustrator - Editable two side text


Here's what I want to achieve:



enter image description here


pretty simple right? BUT, I'd like the text to remain editable in a simple manner, that is:



  • Editable text (no outlined font);

  • Only one line of text (any change has to be done once);

  • The text color must adapt when moving the text around.


I'tried many combination of masks with no luck... any idea?



Answer



I found a way: four squares. One black over a red one on the left. One red over a black one on the right. The text on top of the squares then selecting the text and the two topmost squares and Object > Clipping Mask > Make.



Here's the result:

The text is editable and I can give the squares any other shapes, it's still working.
