All right, so once you're happy with the ellipses that we've put down together and we've made this
really cool template for ourselves, let's go ahead and start adding some text now.
In the past, I've shown that you can add some text with the text to here and then adjust the arc of
it.
But the problem you're going to find with that is that you're really limited with just how far around
a circle your arc can get.
And I don't want you to have to go through and make one arc here and the other one there and so on and
so forth.
So I'm going to show you how to get your text to go around a complete circle.
If you come over into our Elipse tool and you hit that as a shape, we come up the top here and currently
it is a shape layer, which is what we've built.
That's what we've been using here for our circles.
But if you hit that drop down menu and change it into a path, then we're going to draw a circle on
just as we were doing before.
So line it up in the center and draw it on in this fourth quadrant.
Hold that shift key to make it nice and nice then even and then press the option key to have it get
centered.
And we're going to run it out to where the bottom of our text is going to fall because our text will
line up on this line in the end.
So I think that's a pretty good place for that to start.
And once I've released that, we can come across into our text to choose the color and the character
of our text.
I'm going to be using this font here called Aliens and Cows, and I'm going to choose the color that's
not quite black, but quite a dark chocolate color.
And now if I hold my cursor over the path that we've just made together, you'll see that it's changed
into the wiggly line and that basically is letting me know that if I were to click and add any text,
it's going to show up around the outside of this line.
Have a look.
Here we go.
So it has some gibberish here for us to see what it's going to look like, but how easy was that?
So that's pretty a pretty great way to do that.
Let's adjust the size of this, because I'd like it to be quite large.
And you'll see the circle itself doesn't get bigger as I adjust the text because we've already set the
path for this.
So it's just the text size that's getting bigger.
So the bigger your font is, the less you'll be able to write on.
And if it's a bit smaller, you'll be able to add a lot more text.
So find approximately what you're looking for here.
And then when you come over and start typing out, you're the name of your business or your cafe or
whatever it is that you're making that's going to overtake this text.
So I have here the name of our cafe, we're calling this analysis cafe, and if I were to double click
on this text, you can edit it like any text that you would do.
So if I'd like to get my text to come to the other side of this circle, all you need to do is hit the
tab button and it's going to start typing on the other half of that circle.
So it won't interrupt what it is that we have typed out.
So you can type in a tag line or something like that.
And once you're happy with what it says, you can come up here and press the move tool, OK, so you'll
see that it doesn't quite line up.
So just grab your move to make sure you're on the text layer press command T and because this is a circle,
as we rotate this, it's going to be completely in line with where we were starting.
So I'm going to put in Lisa's cafe right there across the top.
And once I'm happy with that, I can just press the move key to lock that into place.
Make sure you're happy with the color of your text.
And now it's time for us to add an icon right in the middle and add some flourishes around the outside
and then we're ready to export it.
So join me in the next lesson and I'll show you how to do that.
