@callumscreativeclub: Sometimes Illustrator likes to mess with us, and I'm here to fix it. Ever had those annoying situations where you are aligning your text to a shape only to find it hasn't actually done it correctly? You might notice it, but some don't! They rely on centre align and think the jobs been done. Sadly not. Follow this trick on how to actually align your text accurately. It's a life saver! #graphicdesign #branding #designtools #typography #illustrator
Damn I’ve always duplicated the text then outlined it (kept one as actual text in case I needed to edit it), then used the outlined one to align. This is so much better thank you!

I shared how to do this with my design team a few years ago, after telling them things were not centered. I changed lives that day. (Mainly mine so I didn’t need to keep telling them to center)

What if the text has a descender? Does that setting take the descender into consideration when aligning or ignore it?

Adobe has so many “features” that should be the standard. 🤦♂️

I gave up on it years ago. I started in the 90’s on V7, but these days between Photoshop & InDesign I can get 99% of the work I need from them. Also Affinity have entered the chat.
