Text Effects and Typography
Make people envy the graphic quality of your website, brochure and flyer headlines, company logo, Facebook and postcard greetings with Art Text 4 for Mac. Art Text has all the tools for creating lettering and typography graphics, text mockups and artistic text effects.
Styles and Materials
Art Text comes equipped with a wide selection of text styles, surface materials and effects. Unrestricted by any presets, your creativity will take flight with easily adjustable textures, surface bump maps, environment textures, light spots and shadows, and other settings to come up with new materials.
Spray Fill
Beautifully lay out words with coffee beans, color balls, leaves, Lego pieces and even clouds using the supplied collection or import your own fill images. Experiment with lettering design from highly random to a very structured layout and fill sizes.
Mask Effects
Tweak text finishing with a variety of masks to render an aged text or a scratched look. You may also want to add a stamped effect with just one click. Easily experiment with settings, and combine masks with other effects, to get a somewhat unexpected but impressive result.
Distortion Effects
Heavily alter the font shape beyond standard typeface options. Effortlessly wear out text sides with Side Distortion, create random holes in the body with Erosion, partially dim text with Blur distortion, and more.
Shading Materials
Special 2D materials open the door to an array of visual effects, such as bumping or embossing. You may also apply a glass, plastic or gold finish, make the surface glossy, matte, bright or faded, or give your graphic a fascinating watercolor, oil paint or pencil drawing look. The most demanding users will find the material editor handy for creating custom Shading Materials.
Real 3D Text
Art Text implements a 3D modeling engine that helps to convert any text, symbol or pictogram to 3D. Our graphic design software embeds 3D renderer together with tons of customizable 3D materials to ensure super realistic results every time.
Paint Lettering
Art Text comes with a great variety of fills, distortion effects and object content to design highly realistic, hand painted, ink written and watercolor lettering art.
Bend and Warp Text
