 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Illustrator tutorial and this one I'm going to show you how to rotate text or rotate letters, but not just regular letters. These are letters that if you were to create text using a text tool as opposed to creating your own letters. If you create your own letters, you can create your own objects and selections, no problem. But if you don't, here's the method. So what you want to do, I'll just get back out here and I'll go to the beginning, is what the first step is I'm going to show you how to type along a path. So let's just go ahead and create a little path here. I'm going to create a circle, something like that. I'm going to take the fill off and well, that's not the right one to take the fill out and then we're going to take the stroke. Let's make a stroke. Why not of one pixel? Who cares? Okay, good. Now, switching over to the text tool, we're going to grab the type on a path tool. And when you do that, you just basically want to hover over it so that you see those little funny little squiggly lines. And when you do that, presto type is attached. So I'm just going to go ahead and type my name in there. Okay. So there it is. I want to just rotate the C and the U, everything else is very popular in movie titles and things like that. And if you just click on it, never mind, I was to one of the selection tools, you can't just go ahead and grab an individual letter. You have to actually expand it. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to select it here. And now watch this, go to object and go to object expand. When you do this, you get the option to expand the object and expand the fill. Just click on, okay. And now all of a sudden you've got this little expanded object. And when you click in, when you go and grab the direct selection tool, watch this, I can now grab an individual letter just like I did there. So instead of, you know, grabbing everything, I've grabbed the letter. And now if I hold down the command key or the control key, if you're on a PC command on a Mac, hover over the edge here and you're going to see that little squiggly line where it allows you to turn it. Now I'm just rotating the text just like that. So I've rotated the C. If I wanted to do that again to the U, I can go ahead and just make sure I get that. And there you go. I'm rotating the U to whatever I see fit. Let's do it upside down for the hell of it. And there you go. That's how you rotate text using the type tool, using object expand inside Adobe Illustrator. Thanks for watching.
