Adding an image
The advertisement’s message is that the Coffee Shop’s product starts with high quality beans. An
image of a coffee cup resting on a bed of coffee beans visually makes the point.
1 Using the Pick tool , drag the pointer along the first line of the text.
2 When the text baseline snap point becomes highlighted, drag the text toward the
leftmost corner of the coffee image.
Notice that as the edge snap point on the corner of the coffee image becomes highlighted, a
dynamic guide displays. You can use it to align the text with the image.
3 Drag the pointer upward along the dynamic guide until it displays 90 degrees and 2.5 inches.
4 Release the mouse button to set the text position.
This is how the image should look.

3 Drag from the center of the image until the drop shadow is the size you want.
This is how the image should look.
Here, you’ll import copy from the text file provided, and place it into a rectangular light-golden frame.
Then, you’ll align the framed text in the layout.
3 When the dynamic guide appears, drag the pointer along it until it displays 135 degrees and
0.375 inches.
The graphic below shows a dynamic guide displaying values while the pointer is being
positioned.
