Working with type
Type features are some of the most powerful tools in Illustrator. You can add a single line of
type to your artwork, create columns and rows of text like you do in Adobe InDesign, flow
text into a shape or along a path, and work with letterforms as graphic objects. You can
create text in three different ways: as point type, area type, and type on a path. You will learn
about each as you proceed through this lesson.
