This Library contains about 40 different preset shapes for the text that you set.
These preset shapes can be customized later to suit your taste.
As you slide down the Shape list TypeStyler will show you the actual shape for each of the presets. In the center, top, of the Text Attributes box is the Font drop down menu, below this is the 'Style Workshop' button and a 'Point Size' drop down to set the size of your type. In the upper right is the 'Style Library' with about 70 different styles. Again, TypeStyler will demo the styles for you. TypeStyler's ability to show actual shapes, fonts, and styles is one of the big pluses of this program. Now, having typed in our text it is time to use some more of TypeStyler's abilities. Click on the 'Type Options' button lower right of the box. The Type Options box gives us the ability to add spacing between letters, words and lines of type. Clicking on the up and down triangles will change the spacing in very small increments (Red arrows). When setting large type or headlines, spacing is critical to the over all look.Ĭlicking on the 'Style Workshop' button opens a new window with two tabs. The first tab, 'Style' opens with the 'Object' box selected (Red arrow) and allows us to change the color of our type, 'fill color', as well as the color and width of 'Inline' and 'Outline' borders. We can fill the type with objects found in the Library by clicking on the small boxes. Just behind the 'Object' box is a Black box (Black arrow above) that opens up a 'Drop Shadow' box which gives complete control over drop shadows but also allows us to create a 'Cast' shadow of any color with or without outlines or we can pick an object like the American flag to use as a 'Cast' Shadow.Ĭlicking on the Effects tab (sounds like FCP, doesn't it) gives you access to Emboss, Chisel, Bump and Gloss. There is control of lighting direction, highlights and shadows and other settings as well.Įach time that you click on the "A" in the tool palette and then click in the work space you create a new layer. As you can see below, each of my three blocks of type are layers and can be selected. At any time, selecting a layer and clicking on the 'Edit' (text attributes) or 'Style' (workshop) buttons in the Tool Palette will reopen that layer.
