I want to make a water drop made out of digits in illustrator, how do I do that? Do you know what I mean?
Are you talking about having words follow the outline of the waterdrop shape to create the shape or about typography art/[URL=“http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=y3D&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=typography+design&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&start=0”]typography design?
As far as I know, all the typography art/design work is set by hand (if you want the best placement of certain words, keeping whole words, etc.). There’s a reason it is considered it’s own art form. If it’s ok to have cut off words you could set down a block of text and mask it into any shape you want. The closest thing for auto-generating a typography shape that I can think of is how tag clouds on social media sites work, sometimes you can change the shape for them.
Hey, I found a tutorial that might help you a bit:

Of course, I think it would look better if you took the time to set the text manually, but this could work for a quick effect depending on what you need.
