Create Layers for Each Detail
In order to have complete control over each step of the process, we will be adding each detail
on a separate layer. There are numerous ways to create layers and we will use several of
them in this example.
Select
New
and then
Layer
from the
Layer
drop-down menu —
Figure 49 Item 2
.
Layer > New > Layer
When you click OK, a new layer will appear in the layers panel at the right of the workspace
as shown in
Figure 49
.
Follow the steps in
Figure 49
to create this
New Layer
.
We will use this layer for the black backdrop behind the title for the series of topics. This
is a half-inch high banner near the top of the page. When we are finished with this layer, it
will be equivalent to having a half-inch-wide black band across a single sheet of transparent
paper.
