Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode, a recipe page with paragraphs wrapping around an illustration, and text flowing from one text box to another, using text wrap and threaded text. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Editorial layouts often combine images and text. Text wrap makes text avoid the image, while threaded text makes a single story flow across multiple text boxes. Open the recipe page file containing long text boxes and a circular cup illustration in the center.
Step 1: Text Box and Illustration
Currently, the text is blocked by the illustration.
Step 2: Text Wrap Make
Select the illustration, then the text box, and choose Text Wrap > Make. Make sure the illustration is on top of the text. The text immediately moves aside and flows around the illustration shape.
Step 3: Offset Text Wrap
Select the text box, then Text Wrap > Text Wrap Options. Set the offset to 24 pixels to create a generous space between the text and the illustration, then click OK.
Step 4: Overflow Text
The text box is too short, and a red plus sign appears. Instead of resizing the box, we'll connect it to the second box in the right column.
Step 5: Threaded Text
Click the red plus sign with the Selection tool, and the cursor changes to a threaded text icon. Create a new text box in the right column. The remaining text flows to that location, connected by a blue thread line.
Step 6: Finalizing the Page
Add the recipe title above. Change the size of the first text box, and the text automatically flows back to the second box. Save and export.
Done!
Done. We've created text wrap, adjusted the offset, connected the text between boxes using threaded text, and arranged the recipe page. In the next episode, we'll curve text using warp and envelope distort. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographic, or print and social media materials?
