![]() Next you will select all three pieces of text, go up and select the object tab, go down to blend, and select make from the pop-out menu (6d), or use shortcut option, control, ‘b’. After you have expanded your text select it with the selection tool, then hold the option (alt) key and drag a duplicate down, then to create another one you can simply transform again by using the short cut, control and ‘d’ (6c). Once the expand menu opens up make sure both objected and fill are selected before clicking ok (6b). With the selection tool (v), select your text, create a duplicate ,go up to the object tab on the top of the screen, go down and click expand (6a). The results of this are shown in image 5c. ![]() After that you will need to do the same with the rows, these I chose to bump 5 points to the right. Next you will need to go to your tool bar and select the Direct Selection tool, or click the ‘a’ key, and start selecting the anchor points in some of your columns, to select multiple points hold the shift key, then you can use the arrow keys and either bump them up or down, I chose to go with every other column and bump them up 10 points using my arrow key. Once you you do that the envelope mesh menu will open up (image 5a), check the preview box in the bottom left, the number of columns and rows will be the default number and you can either increase or decrease them depending on the length of your word, I kept the rows at 4 and increased the columns to 6 (5b), then select ok to make those changes. Then once you have typed out your word and selected a font you will then need to outline the text, to do this you have three options either click the type tab at the top of your screen and then go down and select “create outlines”, right click your text (or two finger tap if you are on a MacBook) and select “create outlines” from the pop-out menu, or you can use the keyboard shortcut hold shift, command, and ‘O’.Īfter that you will select your text again, go up to the top of the screen, select the object tab and then go down to ‘envelope distort’ and select make with mesh from the pop-out menu, or use the shortcut Option (alt), control, ‘M’. For this project a rounded sans serif works best, I used ‘CarlMarx Bold’ other options that are available on adobe fonts are Arial Rounded MT Bold, Houschka Rounded, and Clone rounded Latin among others, choose which ever best fits your chosen aesthetic. After that you will either highlight your text or you can switch to the selection tool (the outlined arrow on the toolbar or you can hold the command key and click away from your text with the mouse then switch to the selection tool by clicking the ‘v’ key) and change the font of your text. Next once your artboard opens up go to the toolbar on the left and select the text tool, it looks like a ’T’, then you will click and drag on your artboard to create a textbox in which you will type out your desired word or phrase.
