Radial grid: Example 2

- [Instructor] Here's a suggestion for how you might consider using a radial grid with type.

I'm going to move to a second art board, and I've run the pace board, I have my text. So first of all, let's create the polar grid. If you don't see the polar grid at all, you'll find it on this tool space. I'm going to move to the center of my art board and hold down Option + Shift as I drag my polar grid. Now for this, I don't need any concentric dividers, so I need to let go of Shift + Option to do the next part so it's going to become distorted for a moment. But I'll press my down arrow to remove those, and I need some more radial dividers, so I'll press my right arrow to add those. And I'm not counting here but let's say I want that many. That looks about right. I'll now reengage Shift + Option and I kind of want to make sure…
