How to Wrap Text in Adobe Illustrator

Using Adobe Illustrator, it's possible to wrap text around objects. It doesn't matter what type of object it is. It can be a circle, a star, or a lightning bolt. You can also wrap text around photographs, drawings, and any other imported images. Follow the steps below to find out how it's done.

1. Create your object. It doesn't matter where the image comes from. You can import something from the Internet or draw an original picture using Illustrator.

2. Next, create the area where you will be adding text. Simply draw a rectangle and type in your text.



3. Make sure that your object and your text are in the same layer. Also: your text should be located directly under the object in the layer’s hierarchy.




4. Select the object (or objects) which you want the text to wrap. Follow this path: Object > Text Wrap > Make.





5. Experiment with text/object placement. Illustrator gives you the freedom to wrap text in an infinite amount of ways. Fool around with it until you decide what you like best.




6. Finished.
