  • Interested in recreating this spiral affect

    Hello everyone,

    I’m trying to recreate this spiral effect with 4 letters in a square. The letter starts right side up and gradually shrinks in size as it spirals inward to the center. And in each corner, i guess the direction of the spiral will have to change.

    Thank you

    Start with expanded text.
    Make a big M and a little M.
    Then do Object > Blend > Make. Then Object > Blend > Blend Options: Specified Steps: 20 or whatever, Orientation: Align.

    To achieve the curve, make a path that approximates the spiral, then select the blended text and the new path then Object > Blend > Replace Spine.
