Lab #11

In this lab, we were shown how to put an image on the letters of a word and apply it for our own yearbook. To do this, first you have to open a new document, which a letter sized, vertical document. Then you have to use the type tool to create a text box and write the word "Sports". Then you have to make the text have a bold font and the size of 160px. Next you convert the text to an outline by first selecting the text frame, then Type, then Create Outlines. This will create an outline to the word "Sports" and it can be used to put a texture on the word. Next you insert an image by going to File, then Place. You choose an image that you want the word to be filled, but for this lab it have to be the sport image provided. Even after putting the image, it isn't proportional to the word, so what you do next is to make the image proportionally. To do that, you first go to Objects, then Filling, then Fill Frame Proportionally. After all of it is done, it should look like this:

Then after that is done, we had to think on how to apply this into our yearbook. My group was think that since there is a gigantic ITHS in the back cover, it should have the image filling. We think that the image should be the group picture of us in the CTE Expo, since it's all of us in the picture. We were also think of using this technique in the "Funny Images and Stories" Section where the title would be a collaboration of memes. This lab can definitely help our yearbook become perfect for the audiences to read and look back at 2016-2017 Visual Design class. This technique would help me as a future Web Designer by creating "eye-popping" covers that will attract consumers and will let them read the document, book, or anything else.
