Paresh Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 hi - I'm new to text. I want to make cover art for a website. Can anyone suggest simple ways to make this text look better & more professional in AP? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 If you have too, use simple fonts, fancy fonts generally look cheesy unless there is a specific reason for using it. With regard to text on the background, that can be distracting and also messy, honestly I'd steer clear of this idea. What is the website about, Link?

Paresh Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thanks for the suggestions. I write poetry & do audio recording. I create soundscapes for some of the poems so I borrowed from the symphonic term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwellborn Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 @Paresh Here are some ideas for simple fonts. I thought they had a bit more "heft," in case you do plan to use text on top of your image. Although I definitely agree with @firstdefence that "less is more." Alfred 1 Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.

Paresh Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Nice, that gives me an idea. How do you get the letters to tilt like that? firstdefence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
