Now that we have inserted and manipulated images on our label, we’re ready to add text
to our design. As we leave this section,
our CD/DVD label should look like the label shown above.
Inserting Text
The next step is to add text to our label design. MediaFACE® 4.01 allows you to input
text directly onto the label. The text that is entered can be simple or enhanced. Either
style of text is added to the label as a text field and thus can be manipulated as such.
General steps for inserting both text types are listed in separate sections below, followed
by steps for inserting text onto our CD/DVD label.
Simple Text
Simple text is plain text that is input directly onto the label. Standard modifications can
be made to simple text, such as font style, color and size.
To insert simple text:
Select Insert>Tools>Text from the menu.
Left-click and hold the mouse button down. Then drag the mouse diagonally
to insert the text field.
The Text Style/Text Effects Palette will open.
Select the Text Style tab. This tab allows you to enter simple text and change
its appearance.
As you type the text in the text box, it will appear on your label.
Additional ways to insert simple text:
Click the Text Tool in the Objects Tools toolbar.
Left-click and hold the mouse button down. Then drag the mouse diagonally
to insert the text field.
The Text Style/Text Effects Palette will open.
Select the Text Style tab. This tab allows you to enter simple text and change
its appearance.
As you type the text in the text box, it will appear on your label.
