Best Font Effects to Use for Presentation Folders

Great designs for presentation folders often have the best effects for their fonts. Do you have font effects for your text in folder printing? If you don't, then you should be able to learn quite a lot with this article. I have here a few simple suggestions that you may follow in designing your text for folder printing. Use these effects to gain great advantages in your designs.

• Using simple shadows – One thing I use almost every time in my color presentation folders are shadows. The shadow effect is a very simple yet very effective feature for your text. Besides lifting the words up in a way to make it more real and dynamic, it is also adds a certain distinguishing quality to certain text, making them all the more noticeable. So if you have a big title or promo slogan printed in your presentation folders, you might want to add shadows to it to gain distinction.

• Using elegant color gradients – Now if you want more colors that one in your text, this is completely possible with the use of color gradients. A color gradient is basically a coloring technique where one color is blended quite well with one or more other colors throughout a set area. So you can have a nice green field on one end of the text and on the other end you will get a nice blue color. In between, all the transition colors or gradients are used for the smooth blending of the two. This provides a nice and artistic filler design that makes folder printing text quite detailed and interesting.

• Using font outline borders – If you want to add emphasis though on on particular word or phrase in your presentation folder design, then you might want to use font outline borders, or strokes. Adding a stroke effect on your text layer adds a small border around the outline of your text. Usually by default it is red, but it can be changes to any kind of color you want. You just need to adjust it to your specifications. In fact besides changing its color, in Photoshop you can change various aspects of these borders from its size, and its filling options. This is perfect for your text logos or slogans in your presentation folders.

• Playing with opacity and other font effects – Finally, you can mix and match these features with the opacity settings of text to get great effects. For example, turning the opacity of your text to zero and adding outline borders on it gives you “hollow” type text with only the borders visible. The same goes for adding shadows. This can be quite effective for very creative presentation folders where you want people to really pay attention with the designs.

So those are the best font effects that you can use for your presentation folder printing. Try to use these as your prime options to add detail and creativity to an otherwise bland and boring custom folder. Good Luck!
