ravel Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi, i am pretty new to paint.net but I love this program. Currently i am building up a new website using a pre-designed template http://www.fairtraffic.de I would like to adapt the header of the website with the name of the site "FairTraffic.de". This picute is the original: http://www.fairtraffic.de/templates/blu ... lewtop.jpg This one is my first try: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/479/1sttry0sv.jpg The text "FairTraffic.de" ist not really sharp - i think i did some mistakes by adding the effects. Can you give me some tips for a good looking text effect for the homepage header that fits into the current design? I'm not really satisfied with my work. ravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravel Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi, this looks quite good! Can you tell my step by step how you made the text effect? I would like to copy it but with another font. Other attempts are still welcome! ravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherockee Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 some simple things 4 start: use the glow, and the gauss blur effect (as a really smart start from 0 knowledge - do all the tutorials, download the scripts-plugins, and use the layers). i tried to do a deeper shadow, just do a nu layer, and write the same text with the text tool, darken it with anything, and place it diagonal right-down (45°), on any distance. then swap the white layer with the dark one, take the white to the top. Doing text-outlines is simple too, just write the text again (on a nu layer, transparent...), and resize it (select it with the select tool, click on move selected pixel, hold shift, and grab a corner, resize it to a little bigger, and place it under the white, first text. As a shadow. If you want, merge the 2 layer, and blur em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravel Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi, this is my try: http://www.fairtraffic.de I'm glad with the result. Now I need a logo that symbolizes "raising" like an arrow pointing upwards or a chart. Something like this examples: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/images/image ... w-cyan.gif http://www.gwu.edu/~business/news/images/chart.gif http://img.ebesucher.de/logo.gif Any suggestions? ravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
