How to Make Curved Text

By Mandee| Tutorials

It’s time to take your design skills up a notch with another Designs By Miss Mandee tutorial! In today’s video, I walk you through the steps of how to make curved text in Adobe Illustrator. So, buckle up, and come along on this fun, 7 minute ride with me.

How to Make Curved Text

The main tools you will be using:

Type

Window>Type

Shortcut: T

 

Envelope Distort

Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Wrap

Shortcut:⌥⇧⌘W

 

Ellipses Tool

Shortcut: L

 

Scissor Tool

Shortcut: C

 

Set Baseline Shift

There you have it. Now you’re ready to make some kick-butt badge logos and in-your-face typographic posters! And, for your reference, the two fonts I used in this video are Carneval (Bold) and Westmorland.

Thanks for taking the time to watch my video, I hope you were able to learn something new and enhance your design skills. If you have any questions about this tutorial, don’t hesitate to leave a comment. And if you have any suggestions for future tutorial videos, let me know that too: if you’ve got something you’d like to learn, I’d be more than happy to teach you what I know.
