Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode: a curved, bulging, and shape-fitting promotional title using warp and envelope distort effects. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Warp and envelope distort bend objects, including text, without making them lose their editable properties. This is a favorite for posters, packaging, and retro logos. Type 'Sale' using a thick, large red font.
Step 1: Title Text
Select the text with the Selection tool, as the warp effect is applied to the selected object.
Step 2: Warp Arc Effect
Select Effect, Warp, Art. In Warp, set the Bend option to 50% with preview turned on. The text curves like a rainbow. This effect is saved in the Appearance panel and can be changed anytime.
Step 3: Bend and Distortion
Change the Bend to 30% for a smoother curve, and try horizontal distortion for a perspective effect. The text remains editable because the effect is live.
Step 4: Envelope Bulge
Type in large letters below it. Select the object, Envelope Distort, Make with Warp, Style Bulge with Bend 40%. The text bulges in the center like a balloon.
Step 5: Make with Top Object
Draw a flag waving shape above the discounted text. Select both of them and the object, Envelope Distort, Make with Top Object. The text adjusts to the shape of the flag above it. Arrange the three titles, add a soft yellow background.
Step 6: Arrange the Poster
Save and export the promotional poster.
Done!
