4. Manipulating Text
In this digital era, it is easy to manipulate text on your layouts. Candi Gershon created the circle text on the computer, then used it in a digital layout. For step-by-step instructions on how to create circular text, download these pdfs:
- Adobe Photoshop Elements
- Miscrosoft Word
TIPS
• Play around. The joy of digital scrapbooking is that nothing is permanent unless you want it to be. You’re free to experiment until you achieve the look you want. I randomly placed my circular text down the left side until I got it right.
• Get a perfect match. Another big perk of digital scrapbooking is to use the eyedropper tool to pick up colors from your layout and apply it to your text. The green text in my layout coordinates perfectly with the green “felt” letter and photo corner.
