Hi,
I'm new here and looking for some assistance with text effects. I want to use text effects on a Wizard of Oz themed project, but have not been able to find any useful tutorials for the right effects. I'm a mid-level beginner when using Paint.NET, so my knowledge of Photoshop type of work is limited.
I want to use a font that looks like the opening title of the movie. The best one I can find is Kansas Rainbow, but I haven't been able to find a free version of it. Does anyone know where I can find one?
I would like for the text to be that Oz shade of emerald, while featuring the embossed/glass and shine effect, as it looks on a large portion of their logos. However, this text will most likely be printed on the paper that has the thickness that's between regular and cardstock (unless I decide on cardstock), so I'm curious as to how much any emboss/glass or shine effect would show? I also don't know if shimmer paper would help, since the text might appear "in front of" (for lack of better terms) the paper? Not sure how the 3D effects show on the paper?
It would be a dream to find a font that already has the Oz emerald color and/or text effects applied to it, so that all you have to do is type what you want, but I'm guessing that may not exist? I'm open to using an Emerald colored paper and the gold color for the text, in case there's a font that's already gold embossed, etc. I feel like I might could figure this out in Sony Vegas (from previous text experience), but I'm not able to use it on my current PC. I haven't been able to find any color numbers (not sure of the proper term) to obtain that perfect emerald shade. But again, I'm completely open to the gold, especially if I can find emerald shimmer paper. The more I think about it, the more I think it might be the better option, assuming I can find it.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
THANKS!!!
