Turning text into graphic shapes.
(Read the full article...)This tutorial explains how, using Micrografx Windows Draw 6, or, Sierra Complete Publisher, to turn a string of text into individual graphic shapes. For simplicity's sake, both programs are referred to in the tutorial as "Draw". There are lots of fun things you can do for your scrapbook pages using this technique: You can colorize individual letters in a headline, partially overlap letters, or, change the base line or slightly rotate each individual letter to give it a less uniform appearance. You can also use letters as shapes to slice a photo or other image with the end result being a photo that looks like it's inside the individual letters.
