SECTION 2
Lesson 2.3: Fonts

   

 

 

Set your fonts on the move with the Text Effects tab! You can choose to animate your fonts in a number of ways. Let’s look at the options:

 

 

Blinking Background

Background of the text blinks from black to white.

Las Vegas Lights

A colour-changing dotted box flashes around your text.

Marching Black Ants:

A dotted black box moves clockwise around your text.

Marching Red Ants:

A dotted red box moves clockwise around your text.

Shimmer:

Text shimmers in and out of focus.

 

Applying an animation is just like applying anything else. Click the animation from the list, preview it, and if it’s what you want click OK to apply it!


Remember that you can combine effects like animation with any of the effects from the other tabs in the Font dialog box to create some neat effects.
