January 19: Clip Photo to Title/Alpha (Technique Challenge)

[elseepe]

I haven’t decided what direction I’m going in yet, but can we use a text based word art instead of the alpha/font?

@yellowpeep, I have done as directed, but would also like to fill an open alpha/wordart - could you or anyone point me to directions how to do this? I'm stuck ...

NEVER MIND: figured it out, remembered how, whatever ...

Artisan Users - Select your text, Insert Outliner, Edit, Convert to Photo Spot, drag in your photo, adjust.

Posted from memory. I think the Convert to Photo Spot is on the Edit sub-menu - might be on the Fill sub-menu. You may need to flatten your text first before the Outliner works.

You could also use the Insert Text Shape option to enter text in a font. Enter your text, select completed text, then right-click on photo and Fill selected area.

If you're using the word art for a title, I think that sounds fine! I'm excited to see your interpretation!

I love fun titles and this is a great way to make titles play with the page too!

Such a fun challenge! I love the look of the clipped photo to the alpha!!

FUN is the part with the photo but the other part of the title is also LD Phat font.

Just want to check before I finish off my page...

If I have a multi word title. Can I use this technique on just one of the words or does it have to be on the full title?

I used the BG photo of lantana, a major food source for this butterfly, and clipped it to the letters in my title.

I came to ask the same question before I got too far! Thanks for the clarification!
