ALTHOUGH TECHNICALLY Photoshop isn't a full page layout program, lots of people use the program to style Web layouts, Web banner ads, postcards, business cards, logos, and the sporadic print advertisement. Along with adding point type (click and type) and paragraph type (click and drag to make a bounding box, and then type) with the Horizontal Type tool, you can even add type in a very shape ÅŸekilli nick. In other words, you can include text to shapes created with any of the Shape tools (U) including the Ellipse or Custom Shape tool, path shapes created from the selected outlines of an object on a layer, mask, or channel, or shapes created from the saved path.

 

STEP 1 The example shown in this technique requires the usage of a free geographical font called GeoBats created by the generous Daniel Zadorozny of Iconian.com. If Photoshop is open, close and reopen it to get access to the newly installed font.

 

STEP 2 Select File > New to open the New document dialog box. Under Preset choose Photo, set the Width to 5.25 inches, the Height to 5 inches, and click OK. Next, press T to choose the Horizontal Type tool and on the Options bar, set the font to GeoBats, the Size to 68 pt, and the Color to something bright and easy to understand, just like a red or green. Click your cursor once in the center of your file and press the lowercase s key to insert the continent of Australia.

 

STEP 3 Control+click/command+click the sort layer's thumbnail to choose the shape, click to the Paths panel, and click the Make Work Path from Selection button in the bottom of the panel. Double-click the brand new Work Path layer and name the road Australia. nick yazma Now go back to the Layers panel, hide the visibility of the Australia type layer, press T to choose the Type tool, and set the font to Georgia, Regular, 8 pt, Sharp, with the colour set to a Rusty brown with the Hex value of #92500e. Click inside the Australia path outline (the dotted lines round the cursor should be round, not square or linear when you click) to create the insertion point, and type or paste in enough copied text to fill the shape.

 

HINT: Using this shape outline, that has two unconnected pieces, your text won't automatically flow to the island of Tazmania. Therefore, to include text there you will have to reselect the job path and enter an additional text layer directly compared to that shape.

 

STEP 4 Return to the Paths panel and Control+click/command+click the Australia path layer's thumbnail to choose the shape again. Shift back to the Layers panel, press Shift +Control+I/ Shift +command+I to inverse the choice, and choose Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. In the colour dialog box that opens, enter a benefit of #0797b1 in the Hex field, and click OK. Your layout now includes a blue background with text fl owing inside the shape of Australia with a bright background.

 

STEP 5 To help expand define the continent shape you'll add a shed shadow effect. ÅŸekilli nick yazma Control+click/ command+click the thumbnail on the Color Fill layer to choose the shape again, press Shift +Control+I/ Shift +command+I to inverse the choice, and then choose Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. This time around fill the mask with white (#ffffff ) and click OK. Adjust the Fill with this layer to 0%, and then select Layer > Layer Style > Drop Shadow, set the Angle to 120°, the Distance to 10 p x, the Size to 16 p x, and click OK.

 

STEP 6 For the last touches, add a warm gradient to the interior of the continent, put in a talk bubble shape, put some catchy text inside of it, and put in a text layer with URL to find out about Australia.
