Wrapping text around a Graphic or Picture?

[BlueDog007]

Hello folks:

I know there is a way to do this.

If I place a graphic or picture of something on my artboard then I want to type something on the artboard but I want it to surround the graphic or picture, then how do I do this in illustrator?

You could try the Effect 3D (Classic) > Revolve (Classic)...

Make a Symbol of your text and use it to map on a revolved object with invisible geometry.

When expanded ungroup the result and bring parts in front of your graphic/picture.

Heaven' to Murgatroid!  This can be done?  Holly marcaroni!  I gotta lock into this sometime.  Then I'm gonna figure out where in Pluto' name I can use it.  Thank you Ton Frederiks

Although it was my misunderstanding, glad to hear you liked it.

In that case, select the object to be surrounded, go to Object menu > Text Wrap > Make. Place the object in front of the text that is to do the surrounding. You will probably need to go to Object menu > Text Wrap > Text Wrap Options to turn off the Invert Wrap function and/or adjust the Offset value.

Hi, Ton! Sooner or later, one of us is bound to get around to it.

3D or 2D that's the question...
