Credit Where It's Due

4-7-14

     We learned a very cool feature in Photoshop where you can write "Credits" like the movie poster credits we see when we go to the movies.

     First, you get with Lee to save the Font "Steel Tongs" and save it on your flash drive.
     Then, you Open up something in Photoshop.
     Go to your flash and find "Steel Tongs". Open it. There are 2 Fonts and a text document.
     Open a font, click "Install". Open other font, click "Install".
    
     Open the text document. Copy the web address and paste in on your browser, thereby going to the site. It's a picture guide to what symbol to push for what movie credit.

     Cut your screen in half, so you can work on your Photoshop document and study the picture guide at the same time.

     You might push an apostrophe and get a credit "Story by", for example.

     If you don't find the word you are looking for, write it really small with your font size-selector.
     Of course, you do all this with the Type Tool in Photoshop, once you have chosen your font as "Steel Tongs".

     I made these credits for my Movie Poster Project.  Very official looking.
