Assignment 17 - A few "How to's" on Text

Using the word "beautiful", in a font you think actually IS, create the two assignments below.

Sometimes you just have to play around with how to create the text look you often see in magazines but have never actually attempted - usually because you have no idea where to start or you just have no time.

Now you do.

Because you will be using text a great deal in the magazine image you are creating, I have a few tutorials I want you to try in class.  You may or may not end up using these on your cover but now they'll be a part of your "tool belt" for future projects.

There are two parts to this assignment.

Part 1.  The link below will show you how to create transparent text over an image you have already taken:
