Now let's even dive more into type, discovering more advanced topics. Here we have a business chord it's nine centimeters by five centimeters and resolution is 300 bV or you press up command or we're going to be checking that we have with at line height. Five. If you'd like to use inches, you can be selecting them from here. Our resolution will be 300 for printing. And of course, our document mode is CMYK.

You can be selecting your semi key mode while you're creating your document. pressing OK. To be honest with you, Photoshop is not the best application for creating business code. While it's Adobe Illustrator is the best application for creating business called letterhead and all these corporate identity elements, however, it's almost the same concept and same tools. And of course, you can be designing your business card In Photoshop, however, you have more powerful tools in Illustrator, and it's also easier. However, now we're going to be discussing font sizes. So here we have name.

And if we select our type tool, chicken name size, we have that 112 points, which is more than enough was in a business court. As you can see guys, you will find phones are bigger in smaller sizes because we are at 100%. While if you're working in a three four inch size or a four, you will feel that this phone is smaller phone. So basically in business card you can be going all the way starting from seven points to probably 12 or 13 or maybe 14 that will be quite too much. Then we have the title, we can be selecting that one double clicking our director on some nail area and we have that one mind points and it's also in line type. Then we have type area including these details in here.

And they are in seven point size. And as we have our overseas digits in here we can see that we have different shapes for zero. And these are alternates for characters and digits, and we can be accessing them through glyphs Baron. So let's maybe double click name again. Hovering over these letters, we have alternates as well for all and we can discover even more by clicking that one, which is opening glyphs banan. You can be accessing the same bundle from type balance, glyphs, ballin all from one two as well.

You can find glyphs in here. So from here we can be adding alternates for selection, which is all better at the case, or can be selecting entire forms or specific parts within the font, like currency numbers symbols. So let's see Select the entire form. So you can imagine how it looks like. Here we have all these glyphs for Mayor pro phone. Of course, you can be changing font from here as well.

So let's move our cursor to end of line. And let's look for any shape in here. Next, let's maybe say we need to add that register sign, we can be double clicking that one, and it will be added to our line. So that's basically how you can be adding all these special characters by selecting them from glyphs button, and same as well for special letters. So maybe let's change that S shape. Within that forms.

You can be looking for other shapes or maybe other languages as well. So let's say you would like to add that one you can be double clicking, that will be changed like that. Now moving to another part within our type collapsing that one here you can see that option in here. cluding short, crisp strong will basically if you are a graphic designer Don't worry about these because these are mainly for web designers, and maybe app designers as well. And only for mocha presentations. So let's say you're building your website within Adobe Photoshop, and you want to present it within some shapes you can be selecting any option from these four empty areas and mainly for smaller homes.

So let's maybe select the clear, including details and I'm going to be selecting still for maybe Chris and there's no much difference in here strong. Strong is boulder as you can see. And we have smoothes this only for presentation purpose guys. As if you were designing the browser would be taking care of that partner you need to be selecting that for better presentation for your forms. Sources mainly how you want to present your forms. Now moving to Variable forms and also SVG forms.

Selecting name once again, going to form selector. And instead of selecting media bro going to be selecting an acumen variable concept, because we have open type var, which stands for variable phones. So let's apply that one and see what's unique about variable fonts. Now we have lost that registration mark from our name, because each and every fault will be having different glyphs and special characters. So what's really cool about that is that we have those three sliders in here, where we can be controlling weight with insulin. Now instead of selecting bold or semi bold or light or regular, we can be changing weight from here to make it lighter, and we have too many variables as you can see.

So this could be similar to regular in any normal phone. How are you going to have like a For options, you have too many options where you can be controlling how thin you would like to have your phones, maybe that thin, or that wide or both, or maybe something in between. and also can be condensing our phones. So we have with sliding that one all the way to here to reduce each and every characters with and we have an option where you can make it italic or semi metallic like that. And also, you can still select the from here for all these variables where you can be selecting wide wide light poles and all these options in here. Even we have more.

All these options are included in that form. So you can imagine how variable is that true. Now moving to another type of fonts selecting or font selector? We have SVG forms. And that one, as you can see can be including images or icons in vector form or shapes. And they are covered more in detail in Illustrator Of course, moving to our last and final trick in that video, selecting that file.

Now let's say you are searching online for inspirations, and you find some nice fonts. However, you don't know the names. Photoshop can be helping you find these phones and use them within your design. So let's see how we can do that here we have that image including Zeus five fonts in here or four fonts five here, and it's an image and we have that layer including type the type and it's including carry display, I typed that form name here. And by the way, guys, all of them are typekit fonts or Adobe fonts. And I'm using that image so it can be easy for you guys to understand, and you will see in a second why I used lw typekit fonts.

So now let's say maybe you need to be the loading that query display form or even that one, we can be selecting our selection tool. Drawing a rectangle should then be on the same layer of your image. So we have that type layer, and we have our backgrounds. However, let's keep that layer on as a reference cross. Now let's go to type, selecting match phones. Now Photoshop will be recognizing that forms and searching for similar fonts either on your pc or from forms available on typekit or Adobe swamped website.

And that's why I use that image in here. All these fonts are Adobe scones. So if we search them, we'll be finding them okay, so you can easily get how it works. If it's not a typekit font, then Adobe will be suggesting fonts that are similar to that one, maybe in classification and shape. As well, while in that case, I also don't know that that phone on bc so you can see it in action when I click on it. So clicking on carry display pro regular and it's of course fetching that form.

However, these ports in here are on typekit. So if I click on them, they will not be displayed on our type layer. In order to see them we have to be sinking them on our PC, then select them. So let's maybe select that Apple forms, double clicking that forms double clicking that forms now it's already installed and applied on type so we can see Abril fat face, and that's how it looks like on our type layer. So as you can see, using that feature can be saving you so much time. Instead of searching for similar phones and comparing them you can be typing the same way In a similar clear and start matching fonts within Adobe Photoshop.

So anyways, that's it for those tips and tricks. Hope you enjoyed them and I'll be seeing you in the next one.
