Let's get rolling
Open Ferris Wheel template...make a layer for each letter of your name.
Letters are Arial black / stroke black #000000 / fill red #FF0000 /
size 36/ Floating and Antialias checked.
Merge each letter and re name the layer
Add a new layer and type your text....layers>merge...re name text...
.Place the text where you want it to land
on the platform
This is what my layer palette looks like
Just a little tip...I numbered my layers 1,2,3,1,2,3 like so, this is so I would not get mixed
up with my ferris wheel layers..you will understand as you work the tut
1)Duplicate and drag down....
each letter ....ferris 1...Place your single letters in baskets, I put my
first letter in the basket next to the ticket stand and
the next letters in the baskets to the right...make sure
they are behind the basket layers. ..Layers>merge...close off and re name

each letter ...ferris 2....Place your single letters in baskets, move each letter
up 1 basket...open previous layer to judge which
basket to put it in. ..Layers>merge...close off and re name
