1
00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.03
- [Instructor] In this movie,

2
00:00:01.03 --> 00:00:04.02
I'll show you how to wrap
text around an actual graphic,

3
00:00:04.02 --> 00:00:06.09
specifically, our Tin Woodman.

4
00:00:06.09 --> 00:00:08.02
So if you're working along with me,

5
00:00:08.02 --> 00:00:10.04
and ahead and switch over to this document

6
00:00:10.04 --> 00:00:12.01
that contains both of the characters,

7
00:00:12.01 --> 00:00:14.09
and notice that they're
relegated to independent layers

8
00:00:14.09 --> 00:00:17.01
here inside the layers panel.

9
00:00:17.01 --> 00:00:20.01
What we want to do is select
everything on the Tinman layer,

10
00:00:20.01 --> 00:00:23.02
and you do that by clicking on
that layer to make it active.

11
00:00:23.02 --> 00:00:24.07
And then notice this triangle,

12
00:00:24.07 --> 00:00:26.08
in the upper right corner of the layer?

13
00:00:26.08 --> 00:00:28.08
Just go ahead and click on it,

14
00:00:28.08 --> 00:00:32.06
and that will select everything
on that layer, like so.

15
00:00:32.06 --> 00:00:35.04
Now go up to the edit menu,
and choose the copy command,

16
00:00:35.04 --> 00:00:38.07
or you can press Control +
C, or Command + C on the Mac.

17
00:00:38.07 --> 00:00:40.00
Alright now go ahead and switch over

18
00:00:40.00 --> 00:00:41.06
to my document in progress,

19
00:00:41.06 --> 00:00:43.07
and I'll zoom out by pressing Control + 0,

20
00:00:43.07 --> 00:00:45.05
or Command + 0 on the Mac.

21
00:00:45.05 --> 00:00:48.09
Now in the name of reducing as
much complexity as possible,

22
00:00:48.09 --> 00:00:52.01
because this is already a
pretty challenging project,

23
00:00:52.01 --> 00:00:55.07
we want to go ahead and place
the Tinman and his own layer.

24
00:00:55.07 --> 00:00:58.05
And you do that, by going to
the layers panel once again,

25
00:00:58.05 --> 00:01:01.04
clicking on the flyout menu
icon in the upper right corner,

26
00:01:01.04 --> 00:01:03.07
and then choosing paste remembers layers,

27
00:01:03.07 --> 00:01:06.01
to turn that command on.

28
00:01:06.01 --> 00:01:08.00
Then, go up to the edit menu,

29
00:01:08.00 --> 00:01:10.04
and just choose the
plain old paste command,

30
00:01:10.04 --> 00:01:13.05
or you can press Control +
V, or Command + V on the Mac.

31
00:01:13.05 --> 00:01:17.05
And that will paste the
Tinman on his own Tinman layer

32
00:01:17.05 --> 00:01:20.00
as we're seeing here
inside the layers panel.

33
00:01:20.00 --> 00:01:23.04
Now what I want you to do, is
go ahead and drag this guy,

34
00:01:23.04 --> 00:01:26.04
so that the top of his
head more or less aligns

35
00:01:26.04 --> 00:01:29.02
with this second horizontal guideline,

36
00:01:29.02 --> 00:01:31.03
and we're aligning his funnel cap

37
00:01:31.03 --> 00:01:33.06
to the right edge of the margin guide.

38
00:01:33.06 --> 00:01:35.08
And that might be a little
too far to the right,

39
00:01:35.08 --> 00:01:37.02
so I'll just press the Left Arrow key

40
00:01:37.02 --> 00:01:39.06
to nudge him a little bit to the left.

41
00:01:39.06 --> 00:01:41.09
Alright, now I'm going to drag this layer

42
00:01:41.09 --> 00:01:44.09
below the text layer, and
I'm going to lock it as well,

43
00:01:44.09 --> 00:01:48.07
so that we don't end up
modifying any of his many parts.

44
00:01:48.07 --> 00:01:50.02
Alright, now what you might think

45
00:01:50.02 --> 00:01:52.08
is that we go ahead and
assign the text wrap command

46
00:01:52.08 --> 00:01:56.00
that we saw in the previous
movie, directly to the Tinman.

47
00:01:56.00 --> 00:01:57.04
But first of all he'd have to be

48
00:01:57.04 --> 00:01:59.01
on the same layer as the text,

49
00:01:59.01 --> 00:02:00.05
which would be a nightmare.

50
00:02:00.05 --> 00:02:02.09
And secondly, the text
would start wrapping

51
00:02:02.09 --> 00:02:05.06
inside of his legs, and under his arm,

52
00:02:05.06 --> 00:02:07.04
so we'd end up with some problems.

53
00:02:07.04 --> 00:02:09.01
We want a much simpler solution,

54
00:02:09.01 --> 00:02:10.07
and here's how we're going to pull it off.

55
00:02:10.07 --> 00:02:13.01
Go ahead and click on the
text layer to make it active,

56
00:02:13.01 --> 00:02:16.06
and then once again,
grab the rectangle tool,

57
00:02:16.06 --> 00:02:18.03
and just go ahead and draw a rectangle

58
00:02:18.03 --> 00:02:20.08
around that third column, like so.

59
00:02:20.08 --> 00:02:22.08
Now we don't want a fill or a stroke,

60
00:02:22.08 --> 00:02:24.04
so go up to the control panel,

61
00:02:24.04 --> 00:02:27.01
and change the fill to none,

62
00:02:27.01 --> 00:02:28.07
and then click on the second swatch,

63
00:02:28.07 --> 00:02:30.04
the one that represents the stroke,

64
00:02:30.04 --> 00:02:32.09
and change it to none as well.

65
00:02:32.09 --> 00:02:35.01
Alright now, with the rectangle selected,

66
00:02:35.01 --> 00:02:38.09
go to the object menu, choose
text wrap, and choose make.

67
00:02:38.09 --> 00:02:40.02
And that's all there is to it.

68
00:02:40.02 --> 00:02:42.00
That just goes ahead and wraps the text

69
00:02:42.00 --> 00:02:43.04
around that third column,

70
00:02:43.04 --> 00:02:45.07
so it drops to the next artboard.

71
00:02:45.07 --> 00:02:46.07
Alright, now we need to draw

72
00:02:46.07 --> 00:02:48.06
some sort of shape around his arm,

73
00:02:48.06 --> 00:02:50.08
and the easiest tool for this purpose,

74
00:02:50.08 --> 00:02:53.04
is located directly
below the rectangle tool.

75
00:02:53.04 --> 00:02:55.01
You click and hold on the paint brush,

76
00:02:55.01 --> 00:02:59.01
and you choose the strangely
named blob brush tool.

77
00:02:59.01 --> 00:03:01.00
Now what you want to do
is press the Enter key,

78
00:03:01.00 --> 00:03:02.03
or the Return key on the Mac,

79
00:03:02.03 --> 00:03:04.05
to bring up the blob brush tool options,

80
00:03:04.05 --> 00:03:07.04
and just change the
size value to 50 points.

81
00:03:07.04 --> 00:03:09.01
You don't have to do anything else.

82
00:03:09.01 --> 00:03:11.01
And then click okay.

83
00:03:11.01 --> 00:03:13.06
Alright, now I want to
deselect that rectangle,

84
00:03:13.06 --> 00:03:14.09
by going to the select menu

85
00:03:14.09 --> 00:03:16.07
and choosing the deselect command,

86
00:03:16.07 --> 00:03:18.02
or you can press that keyboard shortcut

87
00:03:18.02 --> 00:03:21.05
of Control + Shift + A, or
Command + Shift + A on the Mac,

88
00:03:21.05 --> 00:03:23.09
and I'm now going to change the fill color

89
00:03:23.09 --> 00:03:25.09
to let's say, RGB red,

90
00:03:25.09 --> 00:03:28.00
just so we can really
see what we're doing.

91
00:03:28.00 --> 00:03:30.02
And now, I'm going to begin painting

92
00:03:30.02 --> 00:03:32.04
inside of this guy's hand.

93
00:03:32.04 --> 00:03:35.04
So you want to start by painting
around his hand like so,

94
00:03:35.04 --> 00:03:38.09
and then paint up his arm
all the way to his shoulder,

95
00:03:38.09 --> 00:03:42.05
and then come down his
hip, basically to his knee,

96
00:03:42.05 --> 00:03:45.07
and then I want you to
come back over and then up,

97
00:03:45.07 --> 00:03:49.04
like so, to make this kind
of blobby shape right here.

98
00:03:49.04 --> 00:03:51.08
And then make sure that
you paint the interior

99
00:03:51.08 --> 00:03:54.02
as well as you can, just
so that your filling

100
00:03:54.02 --> 00:03:56.02
as much with red as possible.

101
00:03:56.02 --> 00:03:58.04
In other words, you don't
want to be seeing any cracks.

102
00:03:58.04 --> 00:04:00.05
And then just go ahead and release,

103
00:04:00.05 --> 00:04:03.04
in order to create that blobby shape.

104
00:04:03.04 --> 00:04:05.04
Alright, now press the
V key to switch back

105
00:04:05.04 --> 00:04:08.07
to the black arrow tool, and
click on that path outline

106
00:04:08.07 --> 00:04:11.03
to select it, and if you
end up seeing the word group

107
00:04:11.03 --> 00:04:14.01
over here on the far left
side of the control panel,

108
00:04:14.01 --> 00:04:15.04
then go up to the object menu

109
00:04:15.04 --> 00:04:17.06
and choose the ungroup command,

110
00:04:17.06 --> 00:04:20.01
at which point you'll
probably see mixed objects.

111
00:04:20.01 --> 00:04:22.01
Just go ahead and Shift
+ click on the outline

112
00:04:22.01 --> 00:04:23.09
of the path to deselect it,

113
00:04:23.09 --> 00:04:26.07
and you should see that a
few things remain selected,

114
00:04:26.07 --> 00:04:29.02
at which point just go ahead
and press the Backspace key,

115
00:04:29.02 --> 00:04:30.05
or the Delete key on the Mac,

116
00:04:30.05 --> 00:04:33.02
to get rid of those little extras.

117
00:04:33.02 --> 00:04:35.04
Now click on the shape
again, and this time

118
00:04:35.04 --> 00:04:38.03
it should either read
path or compound path,

119
00:04:38.03 --> 00:04:39.04
which is just fine.

120
00:04:39.04 --> 00:04:40.06
Alright now what you want to do,

121
00:04:40.06 --> 00:04:42.01
is go up to the object menu,

122
00:04:42.01 --> 00:04:44.07
choose text wrap, and choose make.

123
00:04:44.07 --> 00:04:48.00
And that will create a text
wrap around this shape,

124
00:04:48.00 --> 00:04:50.08
at which point, you want to
return to the object menu,

125
00:04:50.08 --> 00:04:55.00
choose text wrap, and
choose text wrap options.

126
00:04:55.00 --> 00:04:57.02
And then go ahead and turn
on the preview check box,

127
00:04:57.02 --> 00:04:58.05
so you can see what you're doing.

128
00:04:58.05 --> 00:05:01.01
And increase that offset value

129
00:05:01.01 --> 00:05:04.00
by pressing the Up Arrow key,
so just click in the value,

130
00:05:04.00 --> 00:05:07.03
and press Up Arrow, until
you get a good looking wrap,

131
00:05:07.03 --> 00:05:09.06
until, in other words,
the text looks good,

132
00:05:09.06 --> 00:05:12.03
which happens for me at an
offset value of 10 points,

133
00:05:12.03 --> 00:05:14.06
at which point I'll go ahead
and click the okay button,

134
00:05:14.06 --> 00:05:16.02
in order to accept that change.

135
00:05:16.02 --> 00:05:18.01
And now I'll click on this first swatch

136
00:05:18.01 --> 00:05:20.09
up here in the control
panel, and change it to none,

137
00:05:20.09 --> 00:05:24.02
so that we're not actually
seeing that red blob.

138
00:05:24.02 --> 00:05:27.02
And now click off the path
outline to deselect it.

139
00:05:27.02 --> 00:05:28.07
Alright, now the spacing of the text

140
00:05:28.07 --> 00:05:30.07
could potentially be a little better.

141
00:05:30.07 --> 00:05:32.04
And to make it so, we just have to apply

142
00:05:32.04 --> 00:05:33.07
a couple of changes.

143
00:05:33.07 --> 00:05:35.04
So just go ahead and double-click

144
00:05:35.04 --> 00:05:37.00
anywhere inside the body copy,

145
00:05:37.00 --> 00:05:39.02
to automatically switch to the type tool,

146
00:05:39.02 --> 00:05:41.05
and position the blinking
insertion marker.

147
00:05:41.05 --> 00:05:44.02
Then press Control + A,
or Command + A on the Mac,

148
00:05:44.02 --> 00:05:45.04
to select all the text

149
00:05:45.04 --> 00:05:47.07
across the three threaded text frames.

150
00:05:47.07 --> 00:05:49.04
And then what I want you to do

151
00:05:49.04 --> 00:05:52.05
is click the word paragraph
up here in the control panel.

152
00:05:52.05 --> 00:05:54.03
And we're going to make two changes,

153
00:05:54.03 --> 00:05:56.09
both of which are available
from the flyout menu.

154
00:05:56.09 --> 00:05:58.06
So click the flyout menu icon,

155
00:05:58.06 --> 00:06:01.03
in the upper right corner
of the paragraph panel,

156
00:06:01.03 --> 00:06:03.05
and then choose the hyphenation command.

157
00:06:03.05 --> 00:06:05.01
And notice that hyphenation

158
00:06:05.01 --> 00:06:07.02
isn't even turned on at this point,

159
00:06:07.02 --> 00:06:09.06
so go ahead and turn on that checkbox.

160
00:06:09.06 --> 00:06:13.00
I want a words longer
than value of 4 letters,

161
00:06:13.00 --> 00:06:15.07
that way, even short
words will get hyphenated.

162
00:06:15.07 --> 00:06:19.01
And we want better spacing
as opposed to fewer hyphens,

163
00:06:19.01 --> 00:06:21.08
so go ahead and move that slider triangle

164
00:06:21.08 --> 00:06:24.01
a couple of tick marks over to the left.

165
00:06:24.01 --> 00:06:26.07
And now, turn on the preview checkbox,

166
00:06:26.07 --> 00:06:29.02
and you should see a
little bit of hyphenation

167
00:06:29.02 --> 00:06:30.06
occurring on screen.

168
00:06:30.06 --> 00:06:34.00
For example "I've been groaning"
has now been hyphenated,

169
00:06:34.00 --> 00:06:37.04
and "with a little cry of
surprise" is hyphenated as well.

170
00:06:37.04 --> 00:06:39.06
At which point, go ahead
and click the okay button,

171
00:06:39.06 --> 00:06:42.01
in order to apply that change.

172
00:06:42.01 --> 00:06:43.09
Now, this one's a little technical,

173
00:06:43.09 --> 00:06:46.02
but you want to click on
that flyout menu icon again,

174
00:06:46.02 --> 00:06:49.03
and you want to switch from
Adobe single-line composer,

175
00:06:49.03 --> 00:06:51.07
that looks at one line at a time

176
00:06:51.07 --> 00:06:55.04
when figuring out how to space
the justified paragraphs,

177
00:06:55.04 --> 00:06:58.03
and you want to switch to
Adobe every-line composer,

178
00:06:58.03 --> 00:07:00.06
which looks at the entire story,

179
00:07:00.06 --> 00:07:02.04
as it's figuring out the spacing

180
00:07:02.04 --> 00:07:04.07
of any single justified line.

181
00:07:04.07 --> 00:07:08.00
And that is going to give
you some much better spacing,

182
00:07:08.00 --> 00:07:10.04
as we're seeing right
here, at which point,

183
00:07:10.04 --> 00:07:12.02
you can go ahead and press the Escape key

184
00:07:12.02 --> 00:07:14.01
in order to hide the paragraph panel,

185
00:07:14.01 --> 00:07:16.04
and then press the Escape key again

186
00:07:16.04 --> 00:07:18.02
to exit the text editing mode,

187
00:07:18.02 --> 00:07:21.04
and then just click off of
your text to deselect it.

188
00:07:21.04 --> 00:07:24.03
And that's how you wrap
text around a graphic,

189
00:07:24.03 --> 00:07:27.08
as well as achieve the best
possible character spacing,

190
00:07:27.08 --> 00:07:30.09
by turning on hyphenation,
that's very important,

191
00:07:30.09 --> 00:07:34.01
as well as switching to
the every-line composer,

192
00:07:34.01 --> 00:07:36.04
here inside Illustrator.
