Jenner's House

I saw an advert in the paper yesterday that cut out words from a rectangle and I just had to check I could do it too in Adobe Illustrator. It wasn’t as easy as I had hoped. Effect-Path-outline stroke allows blending of text colours but it is still text and not an object. Eventually, after realising this I found the correct way to do it: Type-create outlines. Then I was able to subtract the text from the box.

I have used a photograph I took on a fascinating visit to Edward Jenner’s house earlier this year. This small building, in his garden, is where he vaccinated the poor against small pox.
