Flow Text around a Photo Inkscape
Flowing text around an object or shape in a photo is a great way to make your designs come to life.
In this tutorial I show you how you can create a frame that fits neatly around an object in your design and then we’ll place text in the frame. I’ll show you 2 ways to adjust the size of your text so you can perfect the look of your project quickly and easily.
I demonstrate a couple of ways to create a path that follows the shape of an object – Using the paint bucket tool is a great way to quickly create a complex path, but sometimes it’s simpler to use the Bezier tool to create a path – so in this video I show you step by step how to draw a path using both methods.
I also teach you how to create demo text using the Lorem Ipsum Text Extension – handy when you’re making mock-ups and I introduce you to a few of the Path Functions – also called Boolean Operators.
