kufloyd Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 As part of my learning process, I'm trying to make this: https://www.google.com/search?q=ojai+valley+defense+fund+logo&espv=2&biw=1536&bih=759&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIrN-6rfrRAhXFhlQKHYinCK4Q_AUIBigB#imgrc=yhXvvzbE3qDMzM: I have a question about aligning the text: I drew a shape using the pen tool and tried to match it to the contours of the circle as best as I could (and then used artistic text tool to insert the text). I think I could improve upon the shape though. Short of trying to redraw it with the pen tool, what other options are there to get a curve that matches the contours of the circle? thanks. ovdf.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Make the inner circle. Use the Artistic Text Tool and click on the circle. Then type. The Red triangle looking indicator is used to set where the text starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kufloyd Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 thanks for the reply. I tried that (in my case, the inner circle is the Ellipse under Layer 1) and I can type around its edges but it makes the ellipse disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Yes it does so you can either select the line in the layers panel and give it a weight, and the select the text to give it a positive baseline offset to move it away, or you can just draw another ellipse.
