That is friggin cool!
Off to try it for myself now!
That was cool!
Will give it a try!
I tried it and it is AWESOME!
Why won’t it let me create the same effect in a web document instead of just print. All my Effects are greyed out and won’t allow me to select them.
As always you guys rock, this is just too much fun.
Wow, this is so neat! Will definitely try this out.
Thank you!
Ooh, revolving the #2 looks really cool, and I could see using ( or ), too. Thanks for this great tip.
That’s excellent. I started trying out the Wingdings set and you get cool shapes with that.
Then I tried it with just Arial, and the { makes a cool candle stick holder and the } makes a good shape of a pill. And when you rotate it 45 degrees it makes a bowl.
So rotating the type gives it more posibilities. With 365 degrees in a rotation there is virtually billions of shapes you can create with the keyboard and the punctuation keys.
That’s an fantastic discovery.
Thanks for sharing.
