#why cant i do a complete shape aroun dit
magic zephyr
I'm not sure, I guess it ignores a negative shape. I would honestly do this in InDesign
Otherwise close the "bridge" and add a rectangle below, paste the rest of the text there?
@keen gust
magic zephyr
Yeah! I mean I would just do the method with the "bridge" and the last few lines of text, delete those and set them up in their own text box (rectangle) below
and close it up
fake it, you know?
magic zephyr
I used the pen tool for the bridge but for the bottom closing shape you don't even need a shape or pen tool, just make the text box line up with your text above:

yeah okay
last question
how do i make it equal on both sides
without just eyeballing it
i cant place a ruler on botyh sides equally either
magic zephyr
Hm, what do you mean about rulers?
like this?
(of course that looks bad because the words are long/fake)
keen gust
yeah i find it really hard to get the rules equal distance
from one another
like mirroring them
magic zephyr
I would draw a rectangle and then pull the rule lines out to snap to it, delete the rectangle
How I did the above, selected the bridge shape I drew, then dragged out my rulers to snap to it
magic zephyr
looks good! I don't know if you want your last line "your companion" to start and end with the rest of the square or no?
I think it works
keen gust
what do you mean
im not seeing what you mean
ohh i see
you mean its not perfectly square
on the bottom text
true
i just changedit, looks better the other way
ty for the feedback 🙂
hey thanks again it turned out really well
front side ^ incase you were curious 🙂
magic zephyr
Yay!! Very nice

Yay!! Very nice
If only Photoshop had something like Illustrator: Object > Text Wrap > Make or InDesign's Text Wrap panel so that you could literally do it in 3 clicks... no "fake it" necessary😜
