Adding Glyphs to Your Text

 

Happy October!  CTM Robin here with another quick tutorial.  This month I thought I would show you how to access those glorious glyphs that so many fonts come with these days.  I love how changing such a little thing can make a huge impact on a layout.  Let me show you what I mean!

First, add your text like you always do.  Here I’ve added my title “Polar Express” using the font Hammerete, which I know has glyphs. 



However, I want to change the look of the last “s” to add a “swish”.  With my text layer active, I highlighted the “s” and then accessed the Glyphs panel by selecting Type > Panels > Glyphs panel or Window > Glyphs.   Once you have opened your Glyphs panel, you’ll notice that you have a whole new world of characters to choose from (assuming the font you are using has included them).  



I of course searched until I found the letter “s” in the style that I wanted.  With my “s” highlighted, I double clicked on my selection and it switched.  This is what I ended up with:



As you can see though, the swish cuts through the person in my picture so I went back to my Glyphs panel and with my “s” selected again, chose another character.



My final page looks like this:

I used a template from Liz’s Funky Artsy Journal Templates which made my layout come together quickly.  All I did was change one thing (well and fixed my spelling error too hehe) and I believe it made a fun little difference in my page!

So now you try it too!  Remember that not every font will have glyphs available, some will have a TON of choices, and some will have just a few.  However, I think half the fun is learning what’s out there 😊 And if you ended up loving this as much as I do, you can dock the Glyphs panel to your desktop so it’s  easily accessible!

 I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and see you next month where I’ll show you how to create your own style presets to make that text pop on the page!

Two new layouts all about me.

Step by step

 Hello Stefanie here with another layout I created using Scrapping with Liz's recyclables Template #48 which is 50% off for SOSN this week. I also used a retired collab by Studio Basic and Little Butterfly Wings. I wanted to make a layout about my dislike of summer for the Monthly Muse challenge at The Lilypad.

I start with the photos.

I layer in some papers in the template paper spots.

next I add the buttons and flowers etc layering it up and under. Up for dimensional goodies and under for inks and painty stamps. I decrease the opacity of the washi (tape layer) and burn and dodge if needed to make it look like tape that is stuck down.


I add my journaling and a title, then a Mommyish style for the title to add texture and dimension. I always use One Little Bird's shadow styles at 120 degrees. And finally an action to resize and sharpen and I am ready to uplaod it to th egallery and forum thread. 

Week 41 & 42

Here are week 41 & 42. I had started on Week 41 last weekend but didn't quite get it done, but it's done now. So take a peek into my last couple of weeks. They've been pretty good.
