Hello everyone.
Right now we're going to learn about the use of Bend and Warp in Adobe Illustrator.
Suppose you created a design and this time you need to bend your design, or you need to warp the design.
Then what you will do, you don't have to worry about.
We're going to learn this time with different type of effect that will help you to bending your style
or warping your text or style.
So let's start learning and I'm going to use this common preset.
And at first I need to make a design.
And then we will bend the design.
And for um making a design I'm going to use a simple method.
I'm going to use this rectangle tool.
And I'm going to draw a box.
And I'm going to change the fill color instead of white I'm going to use this red color.
And then I'm going to use this uh selection tool.
And I'm going to make a copy.
I'm pressing alter button from my keyboard.
And I'm releasing here okay.
And for the second line I'm going to change the color instead of red.
I'm going to use this yellow and let me make a third one.
And I'm going to place it here.
And for the third one I'm going to make it green.
Okay, so you can see I have created a design with three different colors and now I need to group them.
And for making group you know how to do that.
You just have to make a selection.
Right click with your mouse.
Then you will have this group option.
And then you will be able to move it anywhere okay.
Now if you need to, if you need to um, made a rainbow and therefore the bending is required, then
how you will do for bending.
You have to use this effect menu.
Then you will have this warp option.
And inside the warp option you will have this arc effect.
So I'm going to use this arc effect.
And once I clicked Arc effect you can see that we got the bending.
Uh, the bending effect is applied to our design and it seems like it's bend like a rainbow.
But if you need more bending in that case, you can use this bend option.
Right now we do have only 50% bending.
And if you need more you can increase increase increase increase increase.
And now it's have 100% bending.
And it's now it's look like a bend like the rainbow okay.
And you can see this arc effect.
Uh right now it's present with the horizontal style.
But if you need vertical you can do that.
You just have to click vertical.
Then you will have this output like this okay.
But we will work with the horizontal this time.
And let me reduce let me reduce the bend percent.
And now if you use the vertical you will have the style in this way okay.
And this is the horizontal option.
And now one more thing I need to show you.
If you need to squeeze any corner or any part.
In that case you can use this horizontal or vertical distortion option.
Okay.
Let me show you.
So let's start with the horizontal.
So if you use the horizontal if you increase the percentage then one corner will be squeezed and another
corner will be widened.
Okay so let me show you I am moving the horizontal point of it right side and I'm increasing the percentage.
And you can see that the left side is squeezing again I'm moving or increasing my pointer and you can
see my left side is squeezing.
So you can see I got the effect.
And if you need the opposite direction in that case you just have to move the pointer at the left side
or in negative value you can see this is the negative value.
And then you will have the opposite direction okay.
So I'm going to uh place it in center.
And now time for vertical.
So let me increase a bit for vertical.
And you can see it's um changing in vertical modes.
Here is output.
Here is the output.
And I'm moving with the uh positive or plus um values.
And if you need the negative values you just have to move the pointer at the left side.
Okay.
So I hope you got the idea how these things is working.
So if you if you need the upper arc or the lower arc, suppose you need to create a burger shape.
In that case what you will do.
In that case you just have to place your mouse cursor in here and you can see this a drop down menu.
You will have this arc upper.
Then you will have some shapes like burger.
And if I increase its look like a burger right.
So it will be able to apply some burger effect with the arc upper effect as well as uh, if you need
some arc lower.
In that case you can use this arc lower.
Then you will have the opposite direction of style.
And it's a more style like instead of arc upper and lower it's have the arch.
This is the output.
Here is the bulge.
And you can see, uh, this seems like a bulge.
And you can see the effect of bulge.
And then we will get this shell lower and shell upper.
So let me show you how the shell lower A previews.
So this is the shell lower.
And this is the shell upper okay.
And if you need some wavy flag effect in that case you can use this flag effect.
So the flag and wave have almost similar but a bit different effect.
So when you will use flag the interior enter shape will be uh moved.
I mean it will be some kind of curvy effect will be applied.
And when you will use this wave effect, the box will remain same, but the inside content will be changed.
Let me show you.
Here is the flag so you can see this entire box is bended.
Okay, so here is bended in here, here is and again it's bended in here.
And when you will use wave we got the box remain same but inside.
Contents.
It's.
Bend it.
Okay, so this is the wave and this is the flag.
Okay.
Then we will have the fish effect.
So let me show you how this fish effect is working.
You can see we got the fish effect.
And now it looks like a flower flower fest.
Okay.
If you just, uh, change the rotation, in that case, you will have the, uh, effect like a flower
fest, but it's basically applied with the fish effect.
And even if you need some more, um, effect on creating some kind of fish, in that case, you can
do these things as well, then we will have this rise effect.
We will have this fish eye effect.
We will have this inflate effect.
We will have this squeeze effect.
And finally we will have this twist effect okay.
So different effect have different type of designs.
So depend on your needs.
You can use any design from here as well as you can do some changes with the percentage of bend distortion
in horizontal even in vertical okay.
And once it's done you have to click okay.
Then the effect will be applied to your design.
So I hope you got the wide idea how this, um, effect is working for bending and warping any design
in Adobe Illustrator.
