Warp two words

Question

Hello dear forum,I would like to warp two words that are on top of each other in a wavy way.However, the upper line of the first word and the lower line of the 2nd word should remain unchanged. I made a picture so you know what I mean...What is the most elegant way to do this? It doesn't work satisfactorily with the Free Transform tool... does anyone have a solution on the best way to do this?I would be forever indebted to you! &#128578;

Andreas, Hi.

I would use Object>Envelope as Monica suggested.

Here are the steps I used.

I created two wavy shapes similar to yours.

Set your Type. Two area text frames.

Here I am working with Live Text not outlined.

I like making my meshes first.

Select your top shape, Object>Create Gradient Mesh.

I used 1x1 mesh.

With the Gradient Mesh Tool, I added more columns. They will need to be adjusted so your characters won’t be wonkie.

I did the same for the bottom wavy shape. Add more columns.

Next select your live type and wavy mesh, Object>Envelope, Make with Top Object

Since the text is live, you can edit your text. (Envelope>Edit Content)
