How to Create a Warped Text Effect in Illustrator
See how easy it is to add a warp effect to text in Illustrator and give it a fun sticker effect.
In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Kladi Vergine shows off a quick way to create a warped text effect in Illustrator. She further enhances the completely editable text by creating multiples with the Blend tool, colors each, and then adds a white background for a sticker effect.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
