Sand: Sand piles well into blob-like

shapes. Use large, sans serif letters and

round the points for a more natural look.

Also scatter some sand around the letter

Glitter: Use glitter freely. Allow bits of it

to be scattered around the entire canvas.

It can also be used to create very thin

lines; this means intricate fonts can be

accented with glitter for a regal look

Paper: Paper will have ragged torn edges.

Use thick fonts to really show the paper’s

texture and folds. Use a subtle drop shadow

to make it appear lightweight like paper

When you apply textures over text, be sure you think about
how the actual material would react when used as text.

HOW DIFFERENT TEXTURES LOOK IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS

Foil: Foil will be the most reflective. Use a

stronger bevel to highlight its shininess.

The letters can be thin and sharp because

metal is often thin and sharp
