make an invitation with cs5
It's interesting:"Paul is caring, he's generous, he's sensitive… in fact I don't even know him anymore. Linda has changed my best friend. Actually, I should thank you Linda. You've done in 18 months what I couldn't do in 18 years."
Make an invitation with Photoshop CS5 by using the program's tools to create text and graphics suitable for the event you're planning. Photoshop's commands let you determine all facets of the invitation's appearance, starting with its dimensions, and including its graphics, font and text size and style. If you want to try out a particular element like a new picture without committing to it, add the element onto a new layer. Layers are like virtual transparencies. They let you add new imagery without disturbing existing imagery.
Instructions
1
Click the "File" menu's "New" command, and then click the "Custom" item from the "Preset" dropdown control. This action allows you to set a custom size for the invitation. Type "5" for the "Width" text box and "7" for the "Height" text box, and then click "inches" in the dropdown controls next to the "Width" and "Height" text boxes. This step will produce an invitation measuring five by seven inches. Click "OK" to create the canvas.
2
Click the upper color swatch from the bottom of the tool palette to open the dialog box for choosing a color for the invitation background. Click a color appropriate for the event, such as pink for a girl's birthday party. Click the "Edit" menu's "Fill" command to fill the canvas with the background color you chose.
3
Click the paintbrush icon from the tool palette to enter painting mode, and then use the previous step's instructions to choose a color to paint with. Drag on the canvas to create an image appropriate to the event. For example, draw a birthday cake. Alternatively, drag copyright-free images from the Web onto Photoshop's application window to add existing graphics. Find such images on sites like Open Clip Art Library, Free Digital Photos, and Morgue File.
4
Click the "T" icon from the tool palette to run the "Text" tool, and then click on the canvas where you want to add text. Use step 2's instruction to choose a color for the text.
5
Click a font you like from the "Font" drop-down box atop the canvas, and then type the text for your invitation. At minimum, include the date, time and location of the event, your phone number or other contact information, and "RSVP."
6
Click the "File" menu's "Print" command to print the invitation.
