Hi helpers,
I'm trying to create the letter D in the following design:
I would like to curve one of my blue bars so it follows an arc or circle that I would use as a guide. Is this possible? I think it is in Adobe Illustrator. The envelope tool is difficult to use for this and I can't find an easy way to do it.
The blue bars are really just rectangles with filleted corners and thick outlines. When I'm done, I will make the top of the arc overlap the straight bar of the D letter, and the bottom will lay underneath, to replicate the effect in the letter A.
Thanks!
As is so often the case, there are multiple ways to approach that.
Sometimes it's faster to do a five-click operation quickly (because you know all the moves by heart) than it is to do a three-click operation that feels clumsy because it's something you don't do very often.
I use the Shape tool to edit an ellipse, like, once in a blue moon!
