Using Warp effects
Using preset warp effects, you can distort or deform Illustrator artwork, including paths,
text, meshes, blends, and raster images. Because warp effects are live effects, available
from the Effect menu, you can apply a warp to your artwork and then continue to manip-
ulate the artwork at any time. (See
effect, the warp appears in the Appearance palette, where you can save it as part of a style,
select it for modifications, expand it, or delete it. It also appears in the Layers palette,
which displays the object as having an appearance applied. (See
appearance attributes" on page 228
Expanding a warped object removes the warp effect while leaving the object in its
warped state.
To apply a Warp effect:
1 Select the object or group of objects that you want to warp.
2 Choose Effect > Warp, and then choose one of the predefined warp shapes.
3 Select either Horizontal or Vertical to specify which axis the bending option affects.
4 Specify the amount of bending to apply.
5 Specify the amount of Horizontal and Vertical distortion to apply, and then click OK.
To remove a Warp effect:
In the Appearance palette, drag the warp object to the trash.
To expand a warp effect:
Select the warped object, and choose Object > Expand Appearance.
Using envelopes
Envelopes are objects that distort or reshape selected objects. You can make an envelope
out of objects on your artboard, or you can use a preset warp shape or a mesh object as an
envelope. You can use envelopes on all artwork except linked objects (with the exception
of TIFF, GIF, and JPEG), graphs, or guides. You can use envelopes with paths, compound
paths, text objects, meshes, blends, and raster images.
