OVERVIEW

• Modify type using a bounding box
• Create warped type with a unique shape
• Screen back type with imagery
• Create a faded type effect

3
Working with Type
INTRODUCTION

• Create type
• Embellish type with
• Styles such as Drop Shadow
• Filters such as Twirl
• Transform type
• Warp type

4
Transforming Type
INTRODUCTION

• Enclose type with a bounding box
• A rectangle that surrounds type and contains
  handles used to change the dimensions
• Modify the shape of type with all Transform
  commands
• Exceptions are Perspective and Distort

5
Warping Type
INTRODUCTION

• Use the Create warped text button to create
  unlimited shapes and dimensions
• Create distortions that conform to a variety of
  shapes

Warping Shapes
INTRODUCTION

• Arc
• Arch
• Bulge
• Flag
• Fish
• Twist

Type Special Effects
INTRODUCTION

• Fading Type
• Type appears to originate in a dark area, then
  gradually gets brighter or vice versa
• Screening Back
• Imagery is visible through the layer that
  contains type

Modify Type Using a Bounding Box
LESSON 1

• To display the bounding box
• Click the Move Tool on the Tools palette
• Select the Show Transform Controls check box
• Reference point
• Center of the bounding box
• The location from which distortions and
  transformations are measured

Using the Options Bar
LESSON 1

• Displays additional options for transforming type
• To change the size of the bounding box
• Drag sizing handles
• Type in a resized bounding box reflows to conform
  to the new shape

11
Transformation Tools
LESSON 1

• Reference point location button
• Click any white dot on the button to change the
  reference point
• Set horizontal position of reference point text
  box
• Reassign the horizontal location of the reference
  point
• Use relative positioning for reference point
  button
• Determines the point to use as a reference

12
Transformation Tools
LESSON 1

• Set vertical position of reference point text box
• Reassign the vertical location of the reference
  point
• Set horizontal scale text box
• Determines the percentage of left-to-right
  scaling
• Maintain aspect ratio button
• Keeps the current proportions of the contents
  within the bounding box

13
Transformation Tools
LESSON 1

• Set vertical scale box
• Determines the percentage of top-to-bottom
  scaling
• Set rotation text box
• Determines the angle the bounding box will be
  rotated
• Set horizontal skew text box
• Determines the angle of horizontal distortion

14
Transformation Tools
LESSON 1

• Set vertical skew text box
• Determines the angle of vertical distortion
• Cancel transform (Esc) button
• Returns to the image without carrying out
  transformation
• Commit transform (Return) button
• Returns to the image after carrying out
  transformation

LESSON 2

• Use the Create warped text feature to
• Distort a type layer beyond the limits of
  stretching a bounding box
• Choose from 15 warped text styles

Screen Back Type with Imagery Screening Type
LESSON 3

• Create the illusion that type appears to fade
  into the imagery below it
• Screening Methods
• Adjust the opacity of a type layer until imagery
  behind the type is visible
• Convert a type layer into a shape layer adjust
  levels of the shape layer

23
Screened Back Type
LESSON 3
Image visible beneath the shape layer
24
Creating a Screened Back Effect
LESSON 3

• Create a duplicate layer before converting the
  type layer
• Convert the layer into a shape layer
• Change the midtones and shadows of the content of
  the shape layer
• Increase or decrease the midtones and shadow
  levels

25
Levels Dialog Box
LESSON 3

• Work in the Levels dialog box to change midtones
  and shadows

26
Adding Effects
LESSON 3

• Further modify the screened shape by
• Adding styles such as Bevel and Emboss
• Adding filters such as Noise and Lighting

27

Create a Faded Type Effect Creating a Fade Effect
LESSON 4

• Create the illusion that type is fading away
• Create the fade effect with
• A type layer
• A layer mask
• The Gradient Tool

29
Fade Effect Process
LESSON 4

• Create a layer mask for the type layer
• Click the Add layer mask button on the Layers
  palette
• Experiment with different types of gradient
  styles
• Click the Gradient Tool on the Tools palette

Creating Semitransparent Type
LESSON 4

• Use blending options to create semitransparent
  type
• Procedure
• Create a type layer and apply layer styles
• Drag the Set opacity of effect slider to the left
  to set the transparency

31
