Lab 14 Reflection Journal

In this lab, I used Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 to complete Chapter 4 of Adobe Illustrator in https://s2.jupiterfiles.com/p1/36460875/1/844430766/Adobe_CC_Design_Basics_v18.pdf. First off I opened up Adobe Illustrator CC 2017. Secondly, I opened up the PDF (that's above) to get started on the steps for Chapter 4 Sample Quiz. Thirdly, I clicked the Text Tool on Adobe Illustrator CC 2017's toolbox. Next, I clicked the mouse button, held the mouse button, and dragged the mouse pointer from the top left corner of a point to the bottom right hand corner of a point. I gone to the top hand corner of Adobe Illustrator and clicked on Character next to the font selection tab. The Character tab opened up allowing me to adjust the settings of the text. I had set the text settings to bold text, 30 point sans-serif, tracked to -100, and scaled horizontally to 200 percent. I typed in my word and clicked outside the box to confirm it. Then I created a new textbox I reset the settings back to default. I changed the text type to Times New Roman. I typed in my word. I changed the word color to grey by double clicking on the color panel. I kerned only two of the letters by pressing spacebar in between a part of the word and typing in my number of spacing between letters from the character panel. After that, I made a new textbox. I resetted the kerning to 0. This time I made two 60 point letters which I converted to outlines. I converted the outlines by clicking on No Stroke of the Fill of the color panel section and black for the outlines on the other side of the panel section.I typed in my letters. I changed one letter shape by dragging the points. Therefore, I copied the letters from the previous step and combined them into one shape using the pathfinder panel. I clicked unite/add from the pathfinder panel to combine the letters into one shape. Lastly, I made a wavy path by clicking on the Pen tool, clicking on one point, holding the mouse button, and dragging the line to another end. I dragged the mouse vertically to create a curve for the pen line. I clicked on the text tool and from that bar, I clicked on Type On A Path Tool to type my words on the pen line. I clicked on the line and typed in my words. finally I kerned the letters so that they are evenly spaced. Knowing how to use Adobe Illustrator and Text Tool is beneficial for web designers because it allows web designers to convey a story or article for the reader.
