Creating Word Art

I just found out about something that was really fun.  Word Art.

Not only is this fun, but you can put in any words you like, do color combinations, change layouts and more.  For this font and design junkie, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.

For others, it's a potential marketing boon.  I just created one for Smithville Texas, link below.

It may seem "fuzzy"  here, but if you go to the link, the colors and styles are crisp and clean for printing. 

What a great marketing tool.  It's fast, easy and all you have to do is be able to type or copy/paste some words.  The rest is pretty self explanatory. 

I was so proud of myself for this one.  All the wonderful, lovely, charming, quirky things about Smithville, Texas, the town I live in. 

I was so proud, I showed my teenage daughter.  She showed me how to make some words larger. 

Apparently, everyone already knew about this application.  I'll amend that, at least people my age, with whom I spend time.  I've never heard or seen of anything like this outside of art/print shops.  Guess I'll have to do more checking into this type of thing when I do see it. 

For those who want to try it out, it's free and easy.  Wordle.com  

For businesses, this is a wonderful way to put all of your services/product lines in one place in a very visual way.  All it takes is a bit of thought and you have a great marketing piece for the internet or to hang in your business.  And who knows more about you and your business than you do.  Piece of cake.  Get wordling...
