00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:08,160
Hi there!

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,309
In this video we’re going to learn to fill
our text, or shapes with images, so let’s

3
00:00:13,309 --> 00:00:14,309
get started.

4
00:00:14,309 --> 00:00:17,180
I have a landscape document opened here.

5
00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:20,439
Now I’m going to add a text box, using the
type tool.

6
00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:26,759
Let’s type some text, so I’m going to
type in ‘INDESIGN’, in capital letters.

7
00:00:26,759 --> 00:00:30,349
Let’s also change the font to something
really heavy.

8
00:00:30,349 --> 00:00:32,910
I’m going to use ‘Manteiga.’

9
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:39,039
Let’s also increase the font size to 140
points.

10
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,469
Let me reduce the text box to the size of
my text here.

11
00:00:42,469 --> 00:00:47,149
I’ll be creating outlines of this text,
so it’s always better to make a copy, just

12
00:00:47,149 --> 00:00:49,550
in case, you might need it later.

13
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:55,940
Now have your text selected, and go to type,
and then create outlines.

14
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:59,540
Now there are two ways you can fill in the
text with your image.

15
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:05,610
In the first way, have your text selected,
and go to file, and then place, and locate

16
00:01:05,610 --> 00:01:09,580
the image on the computer, and hit open.

17
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:14,750
Since the text was selected beforehand, the
image placed itself directly into the text.

18
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:21,040
Let’s hit Command Z on a Mac, or Ctrl Z
on a PC, to undo the last action.

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,330
In the second way, let’s not have the text
selected.

20
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:31,670
Go to file, and then place, and locate the
image on the computer, and hit open.

21
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:36,280
When your cursor is loaded with the image,
click and drag, to cover the size of the text

22
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,460
to place your image.

23
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:44,320
Now cut it, by hitting Command X on a Mac,
or Ctrl X on a PC.

24
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,930
Select the text by clicking it once, and then
go to edit, and select the ‘paste into’,

25
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:53,440
option, and your image shall be sitting inside
the text.

26
00:01:53,440 --> 00:02:00,090
Let’s hit Command Z on a Mac, or Ctrl Z
on a PC once again, to undo the last action.

27
00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:07,790
Let’s go to file, and then place, and locate
the same image on the computer, and hit open.

28
00:02:07,790 --> 00:02:12,819
Once your cursor is loaded, if you click and
drag the image to a size, smaller than the

29
00:02:12,819 --> 00:02:16,190
size of your text, I’ll show you what happens.

30
00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:22,370
Let’s cut this image using Command X on
a Mac, or Ctrl X on a PC.

31
00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:27,300
Select the text, and go to edit, and then
paste into.

32
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:29,010
You see where we went wrong.

33
00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:33,591
So irrespective of whether you place the image
on top of the text, or aside the text, you

34
00:02:33,591 --> 00:02:38,290
need to take into account the size of the
text, and drag the image to accommodate the

35
00:02:38,290 --> 00:02:41,730
size of your text, and you won’t face any
such issue.

36
00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:47,230
Let’s quickly get the image back into our
text, before moving on to a shape.

37
00:02:47,230 --> 00:02:54,990
Let’s select the polygon tool, and then
click on it, to reveal the popup settings.

38
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:58,460
Change the sides to 3, and hit okay.

39
00:02:58,460 --> 00:03:01,940
Now click and drag, to make a triangle.

40
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:06,420
The whole concept of placing an image to a
shape works exactly like we learnt a while

41
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:07,790
ago with the text.

42
00:03:07,790 --> 00:03:14,560
So have the shape selected, and then go to
file, and then place, and locate the image

43
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,910
on the computer, and hit open, and your image
shall be sitting inside the shape.

44
00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:26,010
The other way around this is to hit Command
Z on a Mac, or Ctrl Z on a PC to undo the

45
00:03:26,010 --> 00:03:31,990
last action, and you shall find the cursor
loaded with the image, so click and drag either

46
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:35,840
on top of the shape, or aside, it does not
matter.

47
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,819
All that matters is that your image size should
be big enough to cover the shape.

48
00:03:40,819 --> 00:03:47,550
Once the image is placed, hit Command X on
a Mac, or Ctrl X on a PC, to cut the image,

49
00:03:47,550 --> 00:03:52,520
and then select your shape, before going to
edit, and select ‘paste into’ option,

50
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,700
and the image shall be placed into the shape.

51
00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:00,550
You can always click the content grabber sitting
at the center of the image, and drag to move

52
00:04:00,550 --> 00:04:02,709
your image within the frame.

53
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:04,840
Alright guys!

54
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,561
That concludes our session.

55
00:04:06,561 --> 00:04:10,830
I hope you’ve enjoyed it, so I’m going
to see you in the next one, in just a bit.

56
00:04:10,830 --> 00:04:11,500
Good bye!
