| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “'''Special Effects on Text'''” using '''Inkscape'''.

|-
|00:07
| In this tutorial we will learn to create

* Reflected text
* Labeled text and
* Change the case of the text

|-
|00:16
| To record this tutorial, I am using '''Ubuntu Linux''' 12.04 OS

|-
|00:22
| All the previous tutorials in this series, were recorded in 0.48.4

|-
|00:28
| From this tutorial, I will record in the version 0.91, which is the latest stable version.

|-
|00:35
| Let us open '''Inkscape. ''' First, we will learn to create a reflected text.

|-
| 00:41
| Select the '''Text''' tool and type the word '''“SPOKEN”'''. Make the text '''bold.'''

|-
| 00:49
| Let me zoom in to the text, so that we can see the demo clearly.

|-
| 00:54
| Now, go to '''Object menu''' and select '''Fill and Stroke''' option.

|-
| 00:59
| Then, under the '''Fill '''tab, click on '''Linear gradient.'''

|-
|01:03
| Click on the gradient '''handles''' as shown now and change the gradient colors to red and blue.

|-
| 01:12
| Align the gradient vertically. So now, the gradient should be red at the top and blue at the bottom, as shown on the screen.

|-
| 01:21
| Click on the '''Selector tool''' and press '''Ctrl + D '''to duplicate the text.

|-
| 01:27
| Now, press '''V''' on the keyboard, to flip the duplicated text.

|-
| 01:32
| We can also use the option available on the '''Tool controls bar''' to flip.

|-
| 01:39
| Now, we will move the duplicated text below the original text such that it appears as a mirror image.

|-
| 01:46
| Now, select the '''Gradient tool''' and click on the bottom gradient handle.

|-
| 01:52
| Come back to the '''Fill and Stroke''' dialog box. Here, we will change the '''Alpha''' value to 0.

|-
| 01:59
| We will also move the bottom handle a bit, in the upward direction.

|-
| 02:05
| Click on the '''Selector tool.''' Now, reduce the '''Opacity''' to 80 and press '''Enter'''.

|-
| 02:12
| Our reflected text is complete now. Zoom out a little to see it better.

|-
| 02:20
| Next, we will learn to create a labeled text.

|-
| 02:23
| First of all, we will create a rectangle in green color. Since the '''Alpha''' value is zero, it is not visible now.

|-
| 02:32
| Change it to 255 and press '''Enter'''.

|-
| 02:36
| Now, type the text '''“SPOKEN TUTORIAL”''' on the rectangle.

|-
| 02:43
| Click on the '''Selector '''tool and change the size of the rectangle according to the text.

|-
| 02:48
| Next, select the text. Now, press '''Ctrl + D''' to duplicate the text.

|-
| 02:54
| The duplicate text is exactly above the original text.

|-
| 02:58
| Change the color of the text to white, then go to '''Path menu''' and click on '''Object to path''' option.

|-
| 03:07
| Now click on '''Object menu''' and then on '''Ungroup''' option.

|-
| 03:12
| Again go to '''Path menu''' and click on '''Union''' option.

|-
| 03:17
| On the '''Tool controls bar,''' click on '''Lower selection one step''' icon.

|-
| 03:23
| Once again, go to '''Path '''menu and this time we will click on '''Linked offset''' option.

|-
| 03:30
| Click on the handle that appears on the text and drag it to make the outline bigger.

|-
| 03:37
| Click on the '''Selector '''tool. Then click on the text and move it down.

|-
| 03:43
| Observe, there is another text created. Select the text and delete it.

|-
| 03:49
| Now, select the outline part and click on the '''Nodes''' tool.

|-
| 03:53
| On the '''Tool controls bar,''' click on '''Convert selected object to path '''tool.

|-
| 03:58
| Now you can see the nodes on the outline. Select the unwanted nodes in the middle and delete them, as demonstrated here.

|-
| 04:09
| Click on the '''Selector tool''' again and move the text back to its original position.

|-
| 04:14
| Change the color of the text to green.

|-
| 04:18
| Select the outline part and press '''Ctrl + D''' to duplicate it. Once again, remember that the duplicate outline is exactly above the original.

|-
| 04:28
| Change the color to black.

|-
| 04:31
| Then on the '''Tool controls bar''', click on '''Lower selection one step''' icon three times.

|-
| 04:38
| Lastly, in the '''Fill and stroke''' dialog box, decrease the opacity to 60 and increase the blur to 7.

|-
| 04:47
| After doing this, we will make a hanger for the label.

|-
| 04:50
| So, click on the '''Ellipse''' tool. Then press '''Ctrl key''' and draw a circle on the top left of the rectangle, so as to make a hole on the label.

|-
| 05:00
| Press '''Ctrl + D''' to duplicate the circle.And move the circle to the other end of the rectangle.

|-
| 05:06
| Next, click on the '''Bezier tool''' and draw a curvy line, as demonstrated.

|-
|05:13
| The line drawn should look like a hanger.

|-
| 05:16
| On the '''Fill and stroke''' dialog box, under '''Stroke style''', change the width to 5.

|-
| 05:22
| Now our labeled text is ready. Let us zoom out and have a better look at it.

|-
| 05:30
| Next, let us learn how to change the case of the text in '''Inkscape'''.

|-
| 05:34
| Click on the '''Text''' tool and type alphabets on the '''canvas.''' Notice that the entire text is in lower-case.

|-
| 05:43
| Now, go to '''Extensions menu''' and click on the option named '''Text''' and then on '''Change Case.
You will see some options.

|-
| 05:52
| Let me click on the option '''UPPERCASE.''' Observe that the case of the text alphabets has changed to upper-case.

|-
| 05:59
| Again click on the text. Go to '''Extensions menu,''' then on '''Text''' and lastly on '''Change Case. '''

|-
| 06:07
| This time, select '''Random Case''' option. Observe the change in the case of the text.

|-
| 06:13
| You can try the other options on your own.

|-
| 06:16
| With this, we have come to the end of this tutorial.

|-
| 06:19
| Let us summarize. In this tutorial we have learnt to create

* Reflected text
* Labeled text and
* Change the case of the text from '''lowercase''' to '''uppercase''' and '''random-case'''

|-
| 06:31
| Here is an assignment for you. Create the text “INKSCAPE” reflected on a surface.

|-
| 06:37
| Create the text “Inkscape” and change the text case to '''Flip case.'''

|-
| 06:42
| Your completed assignment should look like this.
