In my example I added an orange fill swatch for illustrative purposes, to remove this simple select the shape with the Direct Selection Tool and clear the fill colour. The text now flows around the previously created object, and in turn gives the impression that it is wrapping around the frog image. With this new shape selected, go to Object > Text Wrap > Make. To allow the text to wrap around the actual body of the frog, use the Pen Tool to draw in a make-shift shape following the outline of the frog. Let’s say that you wanted to do something a little more fancy, in this example the frog photograph has been clipped out to blend in as part of the document without being constrained to a rectangular box. To adjust the spacing around the image, simply go to Object > Text Wrap > Options. Click to select your start point and click again for the end point. Now the text is wrapping around the image, the picture can be moved anywhere on the page and the text will continue to flow around it. The trick to cutting in a straight line is to hold the Alt key down first. The image is now sat within the paragraph of text allowing the words to flow around it, keep an eye out for any hyphenations as a result and knock them down onto the next line if necessary. (Choosing Options will allow you to set the margin around the image) With both text and picture selected go to Object > Text Wrap > Make. Notice however the image sits over the top of the text rather than the text flowing around it. Go to File > Place and import your desired graphic (resized beforehand in Adobe Photoshop), move it into position on the page. Put together your textual layout on the relevant page size, here I’ve roughly set out a few paragraphs of text pulled straight from an article on the topic of frogs.
