ILLUSTRATOR: Clipping Mask


First I got a picture of something I was interested in which was a bass guitar. I saved the pictured and then went to Adobe Illustrator. Then I opened the picture on Adobe Illustrator and made the picture bigger so it can take up the whole screen. After that, I clicked on the "Type Tool" icon and clicked somewhere on the picture. I typed the word "Bass Guitar" in very big letters. Then I changed the font color to white so you can see it. After that I used the "Selection Tool" and selected the word "Bass Guitar" and I rotated it so the words would go along the shape of the guitar. Then I went to "Selection Tool" again and selected the image and the words. Finally, I went to "Object" on the tool bar and clicked "Clipping Mask: Make." Then it left the word bass guitar with my image within the letters.
