Placing hundreds of quotes inside a shape by hand takes days.
So I wrote a small tool: it reads a spreadsheet, measures the width of every band in an Illustrator file, and fits each quote inside its band. Font size follows the band, nothing crosses the edges, nothing overlaps.
The part I like most: when you re-run it, it only places new rows. Anything you moved by hand stays exactly where you left it.
Useful for signage, murals, or anything that needs lots of text on a shape.
What's the most repetitive design task you've automated?
