This tutorial will show you how to write text on path. Very easy to do as well. Start off with a new canvas. Any size you want. Next press "U" on your keyboard to bring up the autoshape tool. At this point of the game you can pick any of the auto shapes, circle, rectangle etc. If you pick one of those shapes or the custom shapes, and you wish to do that...then start by drawing your shape. For example we will pick one of the custom shapes. I picked the heart tool. Draw in the heart.

Your next step is to grab the text tool by pressing the text button or just press T on your keyboard. Then click on the inside of your shape, and if you look at your cursors, it should change into the I with a circle around it, instead of a square. Then just start typing away.

If the shape your like isn't insdie the custom shape tool box, you can simply create your own shape. And the process just stars over again, except instead of using the custom shape, you have to use the pen tool to create your own shape. So grab the pen tool, and start drawing in something. Anything you want.

WTF IS THAT? Ionno...

So I drew something crappy...but the point is the process. Just do the same thing and you are done! Simple as pie. Hope you found this one interesting.
