Design best practices: Moving type around and vector design tips

[diggdug39]

  Hello everyone,

          I am trying to make a sheet of stickers out of this graphic below and I wonder if there is a way to make the bottom word centered instead of shifting to the left side? How could I remake this with a more cut out look from the white background and using what program? On another note I wonder how I am supposed to save an Illustrator file as a jpeg or gif? When I have tried to save it the only file extensions it gives are ai, svg etc.Thanks for any help

Looks like you've got some great info on how to do this in Ps. If you'd like to recreate this in Ai, I'd look for a Stencil font that matches your design, use an Opacity Mask to add the distressing (holes) Adobe Illustrator CS6 "Opacity Mask" NSL Week 96 - YouTube

When I was producing stickers, I preferred to work in Ai because I had to add CutContours for our VersaCam.
