Hey guys, I'm trying to find a good way to bend text in Adobe Illustrator CS5. Not sure if there is something built in that I'm missing or an awesome plugin that does exactly what I want to do. Maybe a way to create two vectors and fit type between them?
Here is an image of what I'm trying to accomplish:
Thanks

Mesh tool,
Warp > misc options
Live Paint and adjust
Trace and adjust- Any one of those could be used alone or in combinationphatwrx

My preferred method is to draw a rectangle over the art I want to warp, select both, and use Envelope Distort > Make With Top Object. This gives you a lot of control if the other methods above aren't working for you.

The warp options I have found in the past to be a challenge when creating complex archs and buldges because you have to mix them all together and manipulate individually. The Envelope Distort is new to me. Very excited about playing with that some. Not sure how I've missed it up until now.
