Final answer:

In Adobe Illustrator, to apply Type on a Path to a circle, select the Type Tool, click on the circle's path, input your text with the specified settings, and use Type on a Path Options to adjust text alignment. Delete the original text afterwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To apply Type on a Path to text and have it follow the contour of a large circle in Adobe Illustrator, you should first use the Type Tool (T) to click on the path of the circle where you want to start typing. Once the cursor is placed, you can type your text or paste the text you've prepared. You then need to apply the following settings:

  • Font: Myriad Pro
  • Size: 50pt
  • Leading: Auto
  • Tracking: 25
  • Text color: Use the swatch named Green

After entering your text, go to the Type menu, select Type on a Path, then Type on a Path Options to fine-tune the way your text aligns with the path. Once you are satisfied with the positioning and look of your text, remember to delete the original text that was at the bottom of your screen, as the instructions indicate. To delete the text, simply select it with the selection tool and press Delete or Backspace on your keyboard.
