How to Use
Freehand:
Select "Window" on
the menu bar and make sure you have the Toolbar items selected as shown in
the following image. |
|
 |
|
|
Select the
Text Tool to create text objects.
The default Font
is Times but you can change it to any font that is available on
the computer. It is generally a good idea not to use more than two
or three font styles in the same project.
Font size
can be selected from the drop-down list when you click the arrow beside
the present font size, or you can type in a particular size. |
|
 |
|
|
Under "View"
on the Menu Bar select Panels.
This will make it easier to change the properties of your selected items,
such as Fill color, Outline color, etc. |
|
 |
|
|
In the following
example the circle is selected, so the Properties Panel indicates the
Red Stroke color and thickness
properties, and the Blue Fill
property.
Circles and ovals
can be drawn with the Ellipse tool.
Squares and rectangles are drawn with the
Rectangle tool. |
|
 |
|
|
Freehand allows
you to import graphic images such as Clipart and other images. Go to
File on the menu bar and select Import.
Navigate to the images you plan to use in your project |
|
 |
|
|
When you open the
selected graphic file a cursor will appear. This will indicate the
top left placement location of the image.
When you are finished your Ad
print out a copy to see how it looks in grey scale. |
