Create and style your text anywhere outside the grid area.

To resize or reposition objects within the grid, switch to the Perspective Selection Tool.

Draw a rectangle that fills the right plane of the grid on the artboard, then click the left plane in the Plane Selector widget so it turns blue and create another rectangle to fill the left plane on the artboard.

Select the Rectangle Tool, then click the right plane in the Plane Selector widget so it turns orange.

Additional grid options are available by going to View > Perspective Grid > Define Grid.

There are two tools for working in perspective, the Perspective Grid tool and the Perspective Selection tool.

To activate the grid, go to View > Perspective Grid > Show Grid.

This tutorial will show how to control the grid, then add basic shape and text. The Perspective Grid tools in Illustrator allows you to create three-dimensional looking art to represent what would be see by the human eye in an environmental setting, such as signage on a building.
