TUTORIAL: how to create a text of trees

This time we will create a text whose letters are like trees. It's very nice and I hope it can be useful for you.

First we need to open a free online graphic software, then we should use it that way:
- Text: TREES (type your own text);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 3;
- Background color: FFFFFF;
- Font name: Tender.

So that's the graphic text we get (click to enlarge):

Extra tips:
- this tutorial is a tricky tip. The effect we used was created to be kind of metallic, but it really gives a nice different result when applied to the selected font;
- we got a very good help from the font face, because the letters already have leaves and so. Probably is not a smart idea use other font in this case;
- create your own text effects by using this huge list of professional text effects.
