- [Instructor] Here is how we can give the impression
of type going around a globe or sphere.
First of all, the type needs to be a symbol.
So with your symbols panel open,
drag the type onto the symbols panel.
I can now delete the type that's on the art board.
Draw yourself a circle.
I've applied a light gray color to it.
We only need half of it.
So with the direct selection tool, swipe over the left edge,
and then press delete leaving us with just a semicircle.
Now with this selected, come to the effect menu, 3D revolve.
For the effect that I want,
I don't need any shading.
I'll then click on map art.
There is just a single surface
and I can choose my symbol to map to that surface.
I'll adjust the size of the symbol,
and then I can adjust the position
to determine how it reads.
Now I'll come and draw a second circle
smaller than the first and apply a different color to this.
From the object menu,
I'll send it to the back
then select the type that is in front
or the 3D object
to which the type is mapped that is in front,
come to the transparency panel
and set the blending mode to multiply.
