I am doing a packaging for a client and when I received the shape of the container I found out that it should be bent by 25° and I want to know how to do that please.
One solution is to bend the final image in Photoshop, but I believe there is a way working with perspectives.
Answer
Use the 'Warp' feature in Illustrator (for vector artwork)
- create your artwork inside a straight rectangle
- group and select the artwork
- with this selected, hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+W which opens up the 'Warp Options' dialog (or via the menu 'Object → Envelope Distort → Make with Warp')
- select the 'Arc' style and type '13.889%' in the 'Bend' field (25° is 13.889 percent of 180°)
Use the 'Warp' feature in Photoshop (for non-vector artwork)
- group all your layers into a single Group, or merge all layers
- Ctrl+T the resulting group or layer, right click and choose 'Warp'
- choose 'Arc' and type '13.889%' in the 'Bend' field (which should be located right under your main menu)
