You got it.....

I am half way through my college education and on my way to a degree in graphic design. This may seem to be a rambling session, however, maybe I am just putting this here for me to put things in retrospect. I look back at some of my design pieces that I made prior to school, I can' believe I would do such things. Comic Sans, are you kidding me? Yes it was me! Embossing everywhere...Yes me also! On a higher note, I recently had 7 pieces of my work selected for an art show, in which 2 of them received honorable mention and have been selected to go onto a bigger show at a local art association. Things are looking good and I am ready for the second half of my journey. Sorry about the babbling......

A Design In Mind

Cool tip from Jeff Witchel, Adobe Certified Trainer

I love it when one of my students comes up with a tip because it means I'm doing my job as a teacher. In a training session the other day, we were discussing the Align panel and how to distribute objects. One student raised her hand and asked, “Can the Align panel be used to Distribute Ruler Guides?” I answered, “I'm sure it can, but I never thought about trying it.” “Let's give it a try,” I told the class. “Turn on your Rulers (Command+R [Control+R on PC]) if they're not already showing, and also Unlock Guides if they're Locked (View>Guides>Lock Guides to uncheck). Now click on the vertical Ruler and drag off five or six Guides. To select these Guides, click and drag across them with the Selection tool (V). Make sure the Spacing amount in the Distribute section of the Align panel is set to Auto, and then press the Distribute Horizontal Space button. All Guides are now distributed evenly across the page. Very cool! You can re-lock the Guides, if you'd like, under the View menu.
