Course: Graphic Imaging Technology II (11154-II) > Section: Working with Illustration Software

Creation of a design using manipulated type should include

- identifying applications that allow the manipulation of type (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand, TypeStyler)
- identifying differences among rotated, circled, extended, and other manipulated type
- creating a finished product that uses manipulated type.

Process/Skill Questions:

- When creating manipulated text, why is it important to change it to outlines before importing to a page-layout program?
- What effects can be created with various kinds of manipulated type? In what situations would these manipulations be used?
- How does type manipulation affect readability?
- What issues could arise if manipulated fonts are not converted to curves before being moved to another application or computer?
