Ah well a lazy start to the week! I seem also to be struggling actually getting my arse out of bed, I am knackered and think my body has gone into shut down mode. I did manage to drag myself out of bed and kick a teenager out of his bed as well, lazy bugger!
Arriving a smidgen late I found that we were not into the class yet. Peter is first thing on a Monday morning and mainly teaching us Illustrator. Our task today was to master the text tool. You can use this tool to write normal text, vertical text, text in an object. You can also type text onto a path, so if you have a shape like a spiral you can type onto it and have your text spiralling.
More useful is turning the text into outlines and then being able to manipulate it and therefore making your own text, great we have been told for posters.
I guess a lot of tools come into their own when you are using them for work, as in designing something eye catching. I did use this tool to make my own text for the Orb of Sutekh game cover.
Now in the afternoon a lecture on Posters was planned however Phil has taken ill so we all had the afternoon off, which was great as I picked up little man early and had extra time with him, and of course saved myself the three + hours of childcare!
