Select the Star tool and draw a small shape underneath the lettering. If you have Smart Guides turned on (View > Smart Guides), you’ll see a pink guide appear when the alignment is perfectly vertical.Įdit the font size so the wording spans from one side of the circle to the other, then move the whole circle downwards to better compose the layout. Use the Eyedropper tool to quickly convert the default placeholder text to the Bloomsbury Sans font.Įdit the wording to ‘Jiu Jitsu Academy’, then alter the tracking to 50 from the Character panel and set the paragraph style to center.Īctivate the Direct Selection Tool, then click and drag the middle handle of the Type on a Path element to reposition the text centrally. Select the Type on a Path Tool from under the Type Tool’s menu, then click on the circle path to set a passage of text around its circumference.

I’ll be using the fantastic font named Bloomsbury, which is a Script, Sans and Serif typeface with a hand drawn style. Working with fonts rather than lettering by hand makes composing the layout so much easier and gives you the ability to edit or change the wording if you ever needed to. We’ll then give the artwork the old t-shirt look with my free “Washed & Worn” textures. Whilst this kind of vintage style has a hand lettered look, we’ll use display fonts to form our design, with some adjustments in Adobe Illustrator to produce the layout. To complement the fighting theme of those Boxing and MMA T-Shirt designs cited by Alix, I’ve created a design based on Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
