How to Intertwine Text + Vector Elements in Illustrator 

Thanks, Teela! I really like this tutorial. At 5:45 when you begin to make same color selections and uniting them using pathfinder, you can save some clicking by using the Magic Wand Tool (Y) OR you can first select the shape that is the color you want to unite, then go to the upper menu "Select>Same>Fill Color". Bam. All the same colors are selected, and you can unite them in one go. Hope this helps somebody out! Of course, some projects will require the more manual way. Best wishes!

This has just saved me! I watched so many other videos showing much more complicated steps that I wasn't getting, so thank you!!

I came across your videos and tutorials last week while looking for help with a pretty basic technique -> text on paths. I have watched many of your videos and have learned many different techniques. All of which previously seemed so intimidating and difficult are now easy and fun! The fact that you can explain these techniques in a short video in itself makes the whole process seem easily executable! And it is! Thank you so much for your help, explanations and videos!!

Yes this is exactly what I've been wanting for a little while now! Thank you, this is perfect!

Another amazing tutorial! You make it so easy to understand, thank you!!!!
