| 00:01 | 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
