ARTC 1353 - Type Tool


Last night in class, we focused on the use of the Type tool. Honestly, I didn't realize how many different things you could do with text and it was interesting to be able to manipulate it in so many ways. Not only can you do the basic like put text into a shape, but you can also put it inside/outside of an object, change the angle that it is seen, change the spacing and even manipulate the box that text is in to create an object. Our assignment was to create a newspaper type ad using the text tool to create the main image for our ad. Continuing with my dance theme from my letterhead/logo assignment, I decided to create an ad for a dancewear shop. It was a lot of fun to manipulate a simple rectangle into a dress. Who knew that you could do so much with a simple text box?
