This is a basic example of what can be done with a word processor, converting images to text is just the beginning of the design process.

Artext is the combination of controlled words, using fonts and typography design controlled using your digital images, combined with our custom text engine.

HOW IT WAS MADE

Select your own image, choose Rich Text Format as your save mode.

1/ Convert your image as a Rich Text Format

2/ Once converted this will open your word processing document, if not then find where the file is and open it manually

3/ Zoom in to approx 300 - 400%, and switch your page view to 'PRINT LAYER VIEW' so that it fits on the page correctly

4/ Select All, now with the whole text document selected still, we changed the font to ARIAL BLACK, then highlighted the background wall text behind the two people and changed the fonts to TIMES ROMAN

5/ After we were happy with the look, we selected all again, copy, and then paste the text into our graphics program and stretched the image to fit the size that we wanted.

This is called Artext, editing readable text, t

*You can also email your Artext as a the message and/or as a attachment. Download the RTF file, copy and paste the text in a email to a friend

* Artext Rich Text mode can be imported into your graphics programs for digital designs
