Designing paragraphs of type
All of the text you've written on this cover so far has been a few discrete words or
lines—point type. However, many designs call for full paragraphs of text. You can
design complete paragraphs of type in Photoshop; you can even apply paragraph
styles. You don't have to switch to a dedicated page layout program for sophistic-
ated paragraph type controls.
Using guides for positioning
You will add paragraphs to the cover in Photoshop. First, you'll add some guides
to the work area to help you position the paragraph.
1.
Drag a guide from the left vertical ruler, placing it approximately 1/4''
from the right side of the cover.
2.
Drag a guide down from the top horizontal ruler, placing it approximately
2'' from the top of the cover.
