: How can I replicate this effect in Photoshop / Illustrator I'd like to know how this is done. I have both photoshop and illustrator.

@Sarah814

There's the Warp tool in illustrator. It resembles Photoshop's Liquify.

The Warp tool is called by pressing Shift+R. It can be found under the Width tool in the toolbox.

Doubleclicking the Warp icon opens the options dialog that have plenty of control over the results.

The texts must be outlined and raster images must be embedded (for example pasted). Normal text and linked photos do not get warped.

This is a screenshot of a warping example. The text is a random sample from Stack Exchange blog and the image is an unrelated random piece from MS Powerpoint clipart.

The distortion is all relatively constrained to a specific angle so you could use an envelope mesh distortion in Illustrator (not that you are constrained to a specific angle with a mesh but it is an easy way to do so)...

Rotate your artwork to your desired distortion angle and add a mesh envelope (Object → Envelope Distort → Make with Mesh...) with an appropriate number of rows and columns:



Use the Direct Selection Tool to move around anchors on the mesh:



Rotate your artwork back to it's original position:

If you are doing this in Photoshop

Open the image.

Go to Filter - Liquify.

A dialogue box will open.Click on advance option.

A brush tool will be visible when you take the mouse on the image. Click and drag it over the image to get the desired effect.

You can also adjust the size, density etc of the brush tool.
