Converting Text to Graphic

Morning guys!

Today I feel so energetic whereas I still can’t find my lector for signing my assignment. Maybe because I woke up very early at 4am. Hahaha. Okay, let’s skip this, because with my fresh spirit, suddenly I thinking of a simple tips. Maybe it’s a common tips, but if you never heard about it, it’s okay. I’ll talk about it now.

Have u ever faced when you’ve finished your design, and you including the text into that. Then you give the file to your friend or your teacher if it’s an assignment. They told you that they can’t see those cool font you made for them. And they also told you that they don’t have  those font type so the window came up when they open your file. Asking for substitute your  font (which is didn’t exist on their computer) with the other font.

So here’s my simple tips. You can easily attach those font type into your design package. OR, you don’t need to attach it but your font won’t change.

How to do it?

After you add text into your design, what you have to do is converting your text into graphic/curve. How?

If you work on Photoshop, go to your text layer, right click, choose “Rasterize Type”.

If you work on CorelDRAW, select the text, then right click on it, choose “Covert to Curve”

NOTICE: Here’s the notice for you. Once you convert your text into a graphic, you can’t edit your text anymore. So, make sure if your text is exactly what you want before you convert it.

Okay, that’s the simple tips for today. You can’t imagine how simple tips like this can be useful someday. Just remember of it. If you are like designing, I believe you’ll be need it.

Cheers!
