The Saturday Special 8/13 – Aligining
It’s time for another edition of the Saturday Special. Are you a blocking junkie? I certainly am a fan of blocking! Do you ever wonder how to make a row of ellies perfectly line up on a page? Today I am going to show you how to align elements/papers on a page. Let’s get started.
This little trick saves loads of time when used for lining up the alphas in a title.
1. Place all of the elements on the page that you want to align.
2. Link all of the layers together in the layers palette. You can do this by highlighting at least one of the layers to be aligned, then clicking the link button on all of the other layers to be aligned.
3. Next click one of the align buttons from the tool bar. I generally use align bottom edge. This will line up the items that are linked.
There you have it. Perfectly aligned ellies! Note: It is sometimes necessary to unlink the layers to adjust for spacing.
Okay, now it is your turn to give this technique a try. Join us in the forum to play along! I can’t wait to see what you create. Go forth and align!!
