3D Map Text

[ThomasB87]

Afternoon!

I've been playing about in illustrator and trying a few new things. I stumbled across the attached kinetic style typography, but no idea how to achieve it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Make your text into a symbol. Create an Extrude and Bevel instance from a circle. Use Map Art and Invisible Geometry to place the art into the 3D shape.
