Many people think that Illustrator is paths. A path is a series of anchor points and straight and curved line segments that define shapes. (For more information on paths, see Chapters 7 and 8.) And putting type on a path has long been one of the greatest capabilities of Illustrator. That said, you’re up against a bizarre learning curve when using type in Illustrator. Initially, getting the type onto the path is pretty straightforward — but manipulating the type after that is a bit harder, and the effort required, such as for putting type on both sides of a circle, is downright silly.
