I've been a designer for years and move back and forth from physical to digital design. I get rusty when I haven't used illustrator in a while and your tutorials are so clear and to the point that I end up finding what I need quickly. You always get right to it and get us back out to our work - Thanks!! Dave/Dave Tipton Design

At the beginning of the video, I was only expecting to learn the method of how to do a text band around a curved shape, but after 10 minutes, I just can not believe just in this short time I got 5 different kinds of methods to do all diff kinds of text in Adobe Illustrator! This video is amazing, it teaches the viewers valuable contents in a very fabulous way! Thank you so much! Definitely subscribing you!!

Congratulations! this is the most thorough curved text tutorial online. had to sift through so many videos to get to yours - BIG sigh of relief, just what I was lookin for

This has been such a helpful video. I usually taught myself the program with the help of a class and youtube videos. I appreciate this greatly so thank you!

EXCELLENT tutorial! Very instructive with clear explanations and much more information than expected. Thank you!

Haven't even gotten through the whole video. Love love loved the part about creating the circle and using the scissors to cut it. This makes life way easier.

Great tutorial - probably the best I've seen yet in terms of speed, clarity and easy to follow instructions! When you discuss MESH warping, (around 11:52 onwards) IMPORTANT: If you just click onto a node and drag it won't warp. You have to click and release one node, then click on it a second time and it will warp. This drove me crazy (using 2019 Illustrator CC) until I figured it out. Click on it first, release, then re-click on the node. The first click seems to put the nodes into edit mode. Only need to do it on one node, then the rest are ready until you click away from main object.
