Working with White and a Tinge of Drop Shadow
#typography #gimp #dropshadow #white
Okay this looks bluer on the screen than the original is so if I was actually using these two techniques I might do another edit but I'm not fussed that this is NOT "pure" white ... its for a blog post ... it needs to show on a variety of screen sizes.
Sometimes you need to use white lettering on a pale background and while one could use a very pale stroke in Inkscape there are other methods.

The first two lines of text were font color white.
The two middle lines again white font color and then EMBOSS.
Finally I added just a little Drop Shadow on both sides.
This came out Blue but I could have just as easily used black or dark blue or red or any other color to make the white stand out.
Point is that if you are using a pale color for text a bit of drop shadow helps the lettering stand out?

Folks Followers Friends Enemies
Support #Australian #Design whether its #hautcouture #readytowear or from #printondemand sites

Next post back to our series on working with white though Zebra ripple is sort off related?

Working with White TWO - Inkscape ideas
#Inkscape #workingwithwhite #white
Its a problem how to get pale white cream and ivory and similar tints to stand out. There's outline and changing the color and thickness of the Stroke but here is one other method. Try Changing an selected area of solid color to Blueprint. Don't freak out if the image disappears. Go to Darken Edges!

Another Idea for Inkscape
Yes I delibarately emphasized the gradient so the lettering has almost faded at one corner but I hope you see what I'm getting to - another method for creating tints and with a simple shift of the area the gradient covers moving the handles wof the gradient filed with the gradient tool you could make it look like the lettering is rising up out of the white area or maybe do this with white out of a darker background?
Finally don't forget Stroke in Inkscape can be change to ANY color. You can change most fonts to a White rather than Black outline or to White though with PURE White lettering I would suggest a bit of Drop Shadow?

Working with White ONE
Working with White ONE
White is a splendid color for embroidery jewellery and various print patterns especially bold black and white ones geometric ones.

This actually dates back to 2006 but this first design has been very productive of patterns.
I have applied various tilings to it including this one currently on Nephroid Mono at Red Bubble.
The link goes to a mans graphic tee but is also available on many other products!
Plenty of "white space" and Symmetry.
This tiles slightly differently on various products so you really should check out how it looks on other products like this travel-mug also scarves tote bags laptop skins and phone cases.

Some PHI Symbols
#phi #symbols #fonts
This is one of my reference files for another Pretty Equations Project alas still unfinished.
As a #typography or #design or #dtp project one has a choice of several fonts using this character either as a Greek letter or a Maths symbol. Hope this gives you some ideas. Mine seem to be stuck halfway. I may literally have to go back to the drawing board well drawing paper and start again from a pencil sketch and scan since what I'm made so far does not yet have sparkle glitter dazzle bling whatever !
