TUTORIAL: a fireworks text for New Year's Eve

That's the last post in 2012, so let's generate one more effect to celebrate the new year. This text is made of green fireworks.

This effect can be made by opening this free light text maker and setting it as explained:
- Text: Happy 2013;
- Font size: Normal;
- Margin: 5;
- Font name: Helena.

Making as I told, you get a result like this one (enlarge by clicking the text effect):


Extra tips:
- the tests I made indicated that thin font faces are better in this case. Anyway, choose carefully to not decrease readability too much;
- prefer to set a ludic font face to get a nice celebration mood;
- create many amazing fireworks text effects by taking advantage of these professional free online light text effects.

TUTORIAL: a super lighted Christmas text

It's our second and last Christmas text effect for this year. This one has very strong and eye catching red lights.

You can create this one by surfing to this online light text generator and configuring it like that:
- Text: Christmas;
- Font size: Normal;
- Margin: 5;
- Font name: Janda Elegant Handwriting.

Following the instructions, that's the effect you get (click to enlarge):


Extra tips:
- I prefer this effect with thin font faces, because they produce a more visible inner light reflection (this effect is subtle, but it's important);
- don't choose very regular font faces, because they don't give a "Christmas mood". Cursive fonts usually generate nice results;
- create a lot of beautiful graphics by using this professional set of online light text effects.
