  I'm trying to find a way to bend text in Illustrator by using a bezier curve. The Arc filters do not seem to allow me to do this.

  So if you could imagine the word "Sample" bending to conform to the shape under it, that's what I want to achieve. Does that make sense? I tried googling, but got nothing useful.

  • these filters only bend things symmetrically.– CanHasQBN
