Narration
Opening Slide Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Special Effects on Text” using Inkscape.
Learning Objectives (Slide) In this tutorial we will learn to create
  • Reflected text
  • Labeled text and
  • Change the case of the text
System requirement (Slide) To record this tutorial, I am using
  • Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS
  • All the previous tutorials in this series, were recorded in 0.48.4
  • From this tutorial, I will record in the version 0.91, which is the latest stable version.
Open Inkscape Let us open Inkscape.


First, we will learn to create a reflected text.

Type “SPOKEN” Select the Text tool and type the word “SPOKEN”.


Make the text bold.

Zoom in to the text for clarity Let me zoom in to the text, so that we can see the demo clearly.
Click on Object menu >> Fill and Stroke Now, go to Object menu and select Fill and Stroke option.
Click on Linear gradient >> Change color to red and black Then, under the Fill tab, click on Linear gradient.


  • Click on the gradient handles as shown now
  • And change the gradient colors to red and blue.
Align the gradient in vertical manner Align the gradient vertically.


So now, the gradient should be

  • red at the top
  • and blue at the bottom,

as shown on the screen.

Click on Selector tool >> Press Ctrl + D Click on the Selector tool and press Ctrl + D to duplicate the text.
Press V Now, press V on the keyboard, to flip the duplicated text.


We can also use the option available on the Tool controls bar to flip.

Move the duplicated text Now, we will move the duplicated text below the original text such that it appears as a mirror image.
Select Gradient tool >> bottom gradient handle Now, select the Gradient tool and click on the bottom gradient handle.
Fill and Stroke >> change Alpha to 0 >> move the bottom handle up a bit Come back to the Fill and Stroke dialog box.

Here, we will change the Alpha value to 0.


We will also move the bottom handle a bit, in the upward direction.

Reduce the opacity to 80 Click on the Selector tool.


Now, reduce the Opacity to 80 and press Enter.

Point to the text Our reflected text is complete now.

Zoom out a little to see it better.

<<PAUSE>>

Next, we will learn to create a labeled text.
Create a green color rectangle >> Change alpha to 255 First of all, we will create a rectangle in green color.


Since the Alpha value is zero, it is not visible now.

Change it to 255 and press Enter.

Type “SPOKEN TUTORIAL”

Make it Bold

Now, type the text “SPOKEN TUTORIAL” on the rectangle.
Click on Selector tool >> resize the rectangle. Click on the Selector tool and change the size of the rectangle according to the text.
Select the text >> Press Ctrl + D Next, select the text.

Now, press Ctrl + D to duplicate the text.


The duplicate text is exactly above the original text.

Change text color to white Change the color of the text to white.

Select text and change color to green Change the color of the text to green.

In the Fill and stroke dialog box >> reduce opacity to 60 Lastly, in the Fill and stroke dialog box,
