Text and Paths Tutorial

Made by: Nick

In this tutorial l will show you how to write a text on a path. Okay so it's a pretty basic technique, but hopefully you will still find something useful in this tutorial.

You may use any of these tools or shapes to create your paths shape:




But I am going to be using the ellipse tool as an example




Make sure that you're using this option (the paths option), you will find it in the bar at the top of the screen:




Now make the circle




Then select the text tool to write your text




Put your mouse over the place you want to write on the path (the line around the circle), the mouse icon will change to this:




Now write your text




If you want to change the text position you can press "Ctrl" and drag the text as I have done below:



Another technique that you may want to use is how to write inside the path, making your path a frame for your text. To do this all you need to do is put your mouse anywhere inside the circle and click, the mouse icon should change to this when you hover over it:




and now write whatever you want:
