Modifying text with the Touch Type tool
Using the Touch Type tool ( ), you can modify the properties of a character, such as size, scale,
and rotation, using a mouse cursor or touch controls. This is a very visual (and in my opinion,
more enjoyable) way to apply character formatting properties: baseline shift, horizontal and
vertical scale, rotation, and kerning. Next you’ll modify the first “R” in “CORRAL” to make it
look like the rope from the food truck below the text is lassoing the letter “R” and pulling it
down.
