How to put the part of text behind someone a shape or a shape?

I was thinking about something since I've gotten into magazines recently and the design of them. I was wondering how do they put part of the text behind a person on a magazine cover? Or like have have the text look like it's going around a person(like with some parts behind some parts in front of person like a ring of text around a person or a letter "O" encircling someone? I know how to achieve this in photoshop (in a probably non-standard way) but I have no clue how you would achive this in Indesign. I've attached some examples of what I'm talking about.

How are your Photoshop skills? Because you’ll need to them to silhouette the model. I’d probably just add the magazine title there, too.
I guess I've always sort of wondered about this...you can do it in Photoshop, sure. But...should you?
I mean, in Photoshop you split your image into two layers, a foreground layer and a background layer (via whatever mechanisms you like. Magic Wand tool, etc., etc.). And then you add a 3rd layer for the text inbetween those layers.
But if your cover is normally layed out in InDesign, you've got the text in InDesign already. And what if the text is more complicated than just a plain old title.
Do you split your Photoshop file into two seperate files (with transparency) and place them on seperate InDesign layers with the text on an ID layer inbetween?
That seems a bit awkward. Is there a neater solution?
(I suppose what I would really want would be the ability to have ID insert a layer of ID objects inbetween the two layers of the Photoshop file, and we know that's not possible....)
I suppose another approach is to keep 2 layers in the Photoshop file and place the image twice, on top of itself, with different layer visibility options in each one. I'm not sure if this is a Clever Idea or a Stupid Trick That Hurts.
I dunno!

    Hi
    Just for completeness, what version of VB.NET are you using?
    Here is a complete project to copy all the files with the added "ABL," at the start of each line.  You need to start a new Project with a BLANK default Form1, and replace all of Form1 code with the code below. When you run this project, you
    need to use the 2 buttons to set up the ORIGINAL file folder and a folder to place the copies. You need to check if the file EXTENSION is correct (I assumed txt), and check the text to add to each line is correct.  Once all is set up you should have a
    big red button to start the operation.
    NOTE: it is important that you try this out on a copy of some of the files to verify accuracy BEFORE trying on original files. Make sure you have a good back up of the original files before doing anything else.

    QUERY mode? Did you mean, that you can only QUERY without changing data.
    This is the QUERY-ONLY-mode, which can be started e.g. call_form
    this is the help for that topic:

    NO_QUERY_ONLY (The default.) Form Builder will run the indicated form in normal mode, allowing the end user to perform inserts, updates, and deletes from within the called form.

    I just purchased an Apple TV.  I have a pc running windows 7.  It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router.  I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

    I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked.  To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open.  It also needs to be on the same network.  My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not.  He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band.  Hope this helps.

  • How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available:  Text (plain) and Paragraph.  (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
    If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
    double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
    Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
    So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)
