Font Challenge: Webster World (Fat) - Treehouse Treasures

Webster World

Judy tags by jam

I love this unusual fat font because there are so many ways to use it. You can download Webster World by clicking on the header.

I used Karla's Constellation1_E1.gif glitter for the fill on the font challenge tag above. Thanks Karla!

I'll try to give brief instructions of what I did to create the word "Font" in the header for this tut.

I typed my text as vector with a stroke of 2 and color#087EB4. You might have to adjust the kerning until the letters just touch each other.

Align text to center then create selection from vector and convert to raster.

I modified the selection by contracting 2 and used EC 4000 Glass. Click "reset to default" then use these settings: 3.00, 75, check inside, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. apply, then deselect.

With magic wand, select inside each letter. Then selection-modify-expand 1. Create new layer below this text layer and highlight it. I duplicated the new layer twice and added Karla's glitter fill to these layers.

On each of these glitter layers, I contracted by 1 then applied the same EC glass settings as above.

I highlighted the top (first) text layer and applied this drop shadow: 2, 2, 25, 3 color#087EB4 and checked highlight on separate layer. I moved this shadow below all the text and glitter layers.

I copy-pasted into AS in the usual way and animated it.

Hope you have fun with this font and I can't wait to see your results!

Mine is a bit dark (in the green) but I wanted to give it a shot :-D I used colors within the glitterfill for the text. The cute little fae is (file name: nf028) one I had saved from a website (um, I believe it was at www.candiecoded.com). It looks very St. Patricky lol

I love the green Karla and don't feel like it is too dark at all. Thanks for giving it a play! I love the little fairy and yes, perfect for St Patty's Day.

Thank you Judy! And I am glad you played around with the glitterfill 1180

Ok, I'm still playing with this font. This one was done with pretty much the same EC Glass settings etc, except I added gaussian noise at 16 to the inner fill and a foreground-background gradient for the fill on the top layer. The mermaid is from Happy House, thanks timber.

I have a little gift for timber and Karla HERE.

That is the cutest thing! And tysvm, Judy! I saved mine ♥

We all love to create logos and headers, but sometimes we don't give enough attention to the font. Sometimes a simple font can make a big difference as some of my best clients have found out. You need to get more and get more new ways for latest construction. If you're looking to give your design another dimension, or improve on a current one, then keep reading.
