- [Man] When it comes to using text,
there's actually a couple different types.
So I'm going to use the text tool.
And what I want to do is I want to zoom in
and just add some text right here.
So with the text tool, I'm going to click,
and then I'm going to type in, basically, Peaks.
Just like that.
Now with that text selected,
I can change the fill color,
which is basically the color of the font,
and start to adjust the size.
This says Helvetica New.
I'm actually just going to pick a different font right now.
We can go down to, like an Arial, for instance.
There's Arial, and then I can resize this.
So typically what I do is I select that field
and just use my arrow keys,
using the up arrow to kind of get this a little larger,
say, about 36 point right there.
Just like that.
So using my selection tool I can move it over.
And what's unique about Adobe XD,
is you actually have this little circle right down here.
And this is a control point
to allow you to manipulate the size much more visually
within the context of actually working on this nav.
So I can increase it to about 39,
that looks a little better.
And now what I can do is I can take this,
and I need to do this a couple more times,
so I can use the text tool.
When I click again,
it's actually going to remember what that is.
So, Routes.
Remembers the size.
I can go over here, click one more time.
And we will do Hikers,
the different hikers for these different peaks.
I can position these accordingly.
I get all of those various alignment tools
as I start to see,
maybe making sure each one's about a hundred pixels apart.
Kind of moving that over, just like that.
So that looks pretty good.
I could size them all down as well,
just like I can any other graphic,
but I'm going to go beyond that
because I'm actually going to use the text tool again
and I'm going to create a title.
So I can do a click and drag, and what this does,
is this actually creates, right over here,
an area text box, all right?
So click and drag's going to give you that area text box.
And then caps lock,
(keyboard clicking)
you can see how it wraps, right?
And that's exactly what I expect.
Your Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners.
So when I use the selection tool,
notice how I'm given this box,
and I can adjust it accordingly.
But really what I want to do is,
I actually want to change this to point text.
So I can go over here, point text, click,
that's exactly what these text items are,
and I've changes this to point text.
Now I can go ahead and maybe center it,
scale it up, and even adjust the kerning, if you will,
or tracking.
Let's try 100.
Let's actually bring that up to about 200,
something like that.
Even 300, that's probably the max I want to go.
I'm kind of showing how expansive or large this is.
Colorado's fourteeners are vast,
this is what I'm trying to communicate here.
So I can start to position that into place.
Sure enough, point text, you can have area text,
you can switch between those two,
and then manipulate all the different properties
as you'd expect when it comes to text in Adobe XD.
