 Select
the Text Tool in the Vector Area on the Tools
Panel.
Your cursor changes to an "I Beam".
Click on your checkerboard canvas. A blue outline for a text area
appears. See the image below.
Notice the Property Inspector in the lower center of the window.
This is used to configure the properties of the text area.
Your screen should look similar to the image shown below.
Place your cursor in the blue text area and type "Acme Web
Design".
Your text might look different from the sample shown above. That
is OK, you will configure your text in a moment. You will notice
the sample text happens to start on the left side of the canvas.
Move the text closer to the left side of the image canvas (as shown
in the screen shot below) by selecting select the Pointer Tool
(see page 2), using it to select the text
area, and dragging the text area closer to the left side of the
image canvas.
Now you will configure your text to be appropriate
for a company logo banner. Examine the Property Inspector shown
below. There are controls that configure the properties of the
text, including the font, size, color, style (bold, italic or underline),
and orientation (horizontal or vertical).
Select the text area in your image and configure
the Property Inspector as shown below:
- Arial font,
- size 64,
- a shade of blue
- italic
Notice that the text on the image canvas was changed to match
your configuration. You may need to use the Pointer Tool again
to position your text so that it completely displays. Your image
canvas should be similar to the one shown below.
