Hi,
I’m currently designing a flyer for an event of a friend. I have a problem with creating a clipping mask in InDesign with an Illustrator object.
The Illustrator object has a white fill and a yellow border, as you can see in this link to my screenshot: https://ibb.co/kyJJn9 . I used the width tool in Illustrator to make the border slightly wider in some areas.
I wanted to place a picture inside the object, so I placed the Illustrator object in InDesign to create a clipping mask with pathfinder. But InDesign sees the border of the object as filling, and that resulted in example 1 on the screenshot.
I tried to paste the picture inside the object without border, after that I placed the object with border over it (example 2).
This kind of solves my problem, but it’s not the best solution when I have to further transform the object and border a bit while working on the layout of the flyer in InDesign.
My question is, is there a more efficient way to do this?
Maybe Photoshop is a better program to achieve this?
I’ve also searched on Youtube and other forums for tutorials, but couldn’t find a good solution for my problem.
