DIY Midnight Kisses - Round Logo Sticker Digital Tutorial | How to Make Curved Words in Illustrator

This last minute New Years project shows you how to make a fairly simple sticker design in Illustrator and Photoshop CS4. I’ll show you a few design tactics, but it mainly discusses how to make words wrap around a circular image. Once the digital tutorial is over I show you how to assemble this cute and easy holiday treat to make your New Year extra fun!
