: Slanted text with background box Hello fellow creatives! I know this sounds like a stupid question, but this has been driving me insane for ages! How do I achieve the following in adobe illustrator:

@Nimeshi706

Set type.
Draw a box behind it
Select box and type
Use the Shear Tool - click once on one side of the box to set the origin, then click-drag at the other side of the box, hold the Shift down and drag up or down.




There are a few other methods you could use, from the Free Transform Tool to Type on a Path to Envelopes and transform effects, but this is probably the most straightforward method.
