2.
Draw a rectangle in the space above the letter “L” in the upper right
corner of the cover, placing its right edge along the guide.
3.
In the Properties panel, type
67
px for the width, and then make sure the
stroke width is 3 pt.
4.
Click the fill color swatch in the Properties panel, and select the Pastel
Yellow Orange swatch in the third row.
By default, all the corners in the rectangle have the same radius, but you can adjust
the radius for each corner separately. You can even return to edit the corners later
if you want to. You'll change the rectangle so that only the lower left corner is
rounded, changing the others to right angles.
5.
Unlink the corner radius values in the Properties panel. Then change the
bottom left corner to
16 px
, and set all the others to
0 px
.
6.
With the Move tool, drag the rectangle to the top of the image so it hangs
down like a ribbon and its right edge is next to the ruler guide.
7.
Select Show Transform Controls in the options bar. Drag the bottom of
the rectangle down so that it's close to the letter “L.” You want the rect-
angle to be long enough to contain the text. Then click the Commit Trans-
form button (
).
Adding vertical text
You're ready to add the volume number on top of the ribbon.
