How to Create a Cool Text With an Image
While graphic design software for the computer is most often used to create and edit images, you can also use it to create text images. Text images can be used as buttons, banners, forum signatures or as part of a document or website. You can use any font that you have installed on your computer to create a text image, so if there is a particular style of text you want, you can download and install the font to your computer.
