Style to Bold (the Font Family should already be Adobe Garamond Pro) and the Fill
color to the swatch named gold.
Next, you will adjust the position of the text.
Note
Brackets appear at the beginning of the type, at the end of the path, and at the
midpoint between the start and end brackets. All of these brackets can be
adjusted to reposition the text in the path.

Select the Selection tool in the Tools panel. Position the pointer over the line on the
left end of the text (to the left of the word “ZOO”). That line is called a
bracket
. When
you see this cursor ( ), with an arrow pointing to the right, drag up around the circle in
a clockwise fashion. See the figure for position.
