So first we started with that coupon for "free adult diapers." As you can see, it has a really nice design of fonts, this is actually a picture. So what i had to do was first of all type out the words and select it. Next i had to get the picture and paste it into the font. One problem we faced was the picture we used was very large, the learning point was how to re-size an image properly. Another way of course is to get a smaller picture. Once it was re-sized, all that was needed was to copy and paste the picture into the words. A few key issues was how to move the picture inside to get the exact design we want to be seen in the words, this was solved by zooming in very close and selecting the picture. One more thing was now that the words were selected, we could not edit it anymore hence it was emphasised that we should make sure we get exactly what we want before selecting the words and converting it.
The header, the left column and the body text were straight forward, the hard part came when after cutting out the baby to put in the article, the text wrap kept making his diaper disappear.This problem was solved with some tolerance changes to help detect the edges of the diaper.
Lastly, if you notice his diaper, the words are typed along it.This was something interesting and creative to me. It was done by using the pen tool to draw out a path on his body and his diaper, next was to select the type on path tool and done, the words were following the path there.
In conclusion, this lesson was another interesting one as i learnt quite a few new things i did not know i could do for example using a picture as design for words like the coupon, and typing on a path. There were some problems such as resizing the large image and the disappearing diaper but I learnt from these mistakes and hopefully it will help me in my project. Here is the last exercise we were meant to complete.
