Step 3 - Adjust the rotation of text on path It will also appear upside down but we will fix that shortly. The text will follow the shape of the ellipse. On the top of the screen click Text then click Put on Path. Draw a selection box around both the text and the ellipse. We are now ready to arch the text over the ellipse. Resize the text so it is in proportion to the ellipse.
While in text edit mode, select a font from the Font Family top left of the screen. Click anywhere on the canvas and type out the text. Next, click on Create and edit text objects (symbol A) on the left side panel. Adjust the size of the ellipse using the arrows if needed. The arc will depend on how wide the ellipse is. Hold down the Ctrl key then Click + drag out an ellipse. On the left side panel click on Create Circles, Ellipses and Arcs. It will produce the same turning effect (no scaling/deformation, though) and keep your text editable.A curved shape works best for this project. to illustrate a cartoon), you may want to use "Put on Path" (from the "Text" menu) instead of "Envelope Deformation". (Optional) Add the comic shadow effect from the original.Ī final suggestion: If you want to produce a lot of text objects with this effect (e.g. Rotate your object counter-clockwise by 15°. Sometimes, the outline of the deformed object may react in "funky ways" (like you mentioned), however, with a bit of node tweaking and moving you should be able to find a constellation in which everything looks proper. Note: You can play with the spline nodes in each path to increase the "turning effect" of the letters. At this point you have to convert the text to a path, which is a bit of a pity, as you lose editability. Style the text (black 5px stroke, vertical three-point gradient spanning the entire line height).ĭo the envelope deformation. I think for the final look this is more important than anything else. If you rotate the original by roughly 15° (clockwise), then model your envelope and finally rotate your object back, you should be fine. I think you were almost there, but ignored a slight rotation in the original. You can definitely achieve this with "Envelope Deformation".
