D2- j clark tutorial #4 retry

so apparently i did a tutorial that someone did a while back i dont know if we covered the same thing in detail because i talked about it to another extent but i decided i rather be safe than sorry. :)

11. Envelope distort is a pretty cool effect you can do in Illustrator for many logo designs, text effects, and other ways to bring your shapes and text in a stylish way. First of all I have an example here with my shapes. Let’s say that is my logo design for now.
2.2. Now to do an envelope distort, have the object selected (all the object you want to distort), and then go to OBJECT > ENVELOPE DISTORT and then from the menu that slides out you have about 3 different options of envelope distorts that you can use: 
Make with Warp 
Make with Mesh
Make with Top Object
3.)The envelope warp option is where you can already choose an pre-made style in Illustrator. The box you see here enables you to control the style in more detail. Play around with it.
4.).  “Make with Warp”.
5.)You can grab anchor points after you do that and adjust the warp on your own.
6.)And here is my final result after anchor point adjustment.
7.)Envelope mesh option is kind of like what you can do with a 3D program if you have experience in 3D. However in Illustrator it’s an mesh for 2D flat plain surfaces. The dialog box here enables you to create column and rows like a table or spreadsheet. You then take the anchor points and move it around at your own creativity.
8.)Make with object on top” is the last option you have, where you can create a distortion based on the object that is laid out on top.

So again, I grab my anchor points just like the other envelope options, and adjust the anchor points respectively.

your created logo... :)
