Warping the type

Warping the type

- [Narrator] So here's the finished version of the graduate fashion show poster, and here is where I am currently. And I now want to move on to doing some custom warping to the type. Before I do that though, I think that this last piece of type down at the bottom is a bit too big, so I'm going to select that and just scale that down somewhat, and switch to my move tool and move it. Okay, so what I need to do in order to be able to apply custom warping is convert each of these type layers to a smart object. And to do that, I'm going to right-click on each of the layers and choose convert to smart object. Having done that, I'll return to the top one. When I press command- or control-t, I don't just have the standard warp styles, but I can enter what's known as warp mode by clicking on this icon on the tool options bar. And I can pull the type around by moving these control points and clicking on the grid intersections as well. When I like what I have, I'll press return to commit to that…
