Wrap Text Around A Circle with Adobe Illustrator | Beginner Tutorial

In today’s beginner tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to wrap text around a circle with Adobe Illustrator. This method will also allow you to flow your text around any other object or shape that you’d like. To accomplish this we will be using the Type on a Path tool.

To wrap your text around a circle in Illustrator, simply grab the Type on a Path Tool and click on the circle that you’d like the text place around. This will place text around the perimeter of the circle that you can edit to your liking.

When you say, "And what I want to do now", it does something. Something good. It's pleasing to hear and puts me in the right frame of mind for the next step.

For the love, this is exactly what I've always needed! I've been using Illustrator going on 10 years and have always struggled getting flipped text to align correctly and the align to center(!!) is a lifesaver! Thank you for sharing! So easy to follow and will save me much unneeded frustration in the future!
