Turn Text Into A Clipping Mask

There are endless ways to manipulate text. You can stretch text, warp text, add colors, cut the text into many pieces, apply a brush stroke, etc. With all of these possibilities try also turning text into a clipping mask over an image. When you do this, only the parts of the picture where there is text overlapping will show segments of the image. This can provide you with some really fun results that you can then add onto. Try it out with your Quote Posters as well as with any future projects.
Check out the link in the Helpful Tips section of the blog to see a handout on how to do this. Or your can click HERE.
