Look at the shapes of the words, and fit them together like a puzzle, or try overlapping parts of words. Play around with the positions of the words.two script fonts, as they will cause visual conflict. Avoid using more than one font of a single style, e.g.Use both a script and a regular font in your design to add visual interest.Vary the sizes of the words in the design, to give emphasis to more important words and de-emphasize the less important ones.Don’t stick with the standard fonts (Arial, Times, etc) – we’ve all seen them a million times, and we want to see something different!.If you have some skinny portions of the letters, that’s ok, as long as they are connected to thicker parts.

This is what we’re going to create today, and since July 4th just passed, I thought that would be a fun subject to do!įor this project, we’ll create word art for “4th of July,” and I’m also going to do one that says “Meowica,” because I like anything that has to do with cats. You can create your own, and then use them to put onto products – or sell them to others so they can do so. These files would be perfect to add to a t-shirt, water bottle, hat, or other item. One way to describe these kinds of files is “word art.” For example, if we search for “4th of July SVG,” the phrase “4th of July” will come up, but also sayings like “land that I love,” “fireworks and freedom,” etc. If you search online for certain SVGs for use with your Cricut, you’ll find that a lot of cute quotes and sayings come up.
