I would try using “ltd” or another shorter word ? I wonder if that would work ?

[@charlieferris3609]

Are you able to do this for a design of my own? Or anyone for that matter as I only have iPad version of Adobe Illustrator and this function is not available. Or if anyone knows another iPad or online app to do this on??

[@cindyl9439]

How do I add new layer but separate? Thanks!

[@ignstrawbs]

what is the font you are using for you name?

[@christiansiddons2121]

Thank for the tutorial if the bottom text had less letters it would work

[@MadalynKnebel]

Thanks for this helpful tutorial! How do you take the text you warp & turn it into a vector? I'm not able to "create outlines" like I typically do with non-warped text. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

[@PANTERvision]

Thank you! Go to "Object > Expand Appearance", then "Right click > ungroup" and/ or "Right click > release clipping mask"

[@MadalynKnebel]

​@@PANTERvision thank you so much!

[@amaterasu5296]

Hello! Thank you for your very useful video!
I tried your second method with the circle and distorted text, but when I try to click Object > Enveloppe Distort, I have an error message telling me (my software is not in English so sorry if the translation is not accurate) "You should select multiple objects. The object in foreground should be a trace or single net or symbol holding a trace or single net."
How do I do that ?

hello it keeps saying that the top layer must be a single path or a mesh I did everything like how you did it so I dont get it

[@terryfrench8417]

Send the text to the back and bring the shape forward .

[@Richard-mq7wf]

Doesn't work for me. When I envelope distort it turns all my letters into scribbles??

This is not an After Effects tutorial. Can you do this in AE?

[@PANTERvision]

Oops I copied the wrong title. Thanks for mentioning it, this is done in Illustrator:/

[@ayra7230]

@@PANTERvision The idea I wanted to execute was text wrapped on a "3D" sphere that I could bounce around the artboard. And the perspective of the text would change depending on the rotation of the sphere. Is that possible with After Effects, Or do I need some fancy 3D software?

[@PANTERvision]

@@ayra7230 Hmm you can do something similar in Illustrator also. Search this: How to Design 3D Line Globe | Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

U know u could have just made the outlined word smaller
