Create your own instant headings or logos!
Below: some samples of 3D headings created through the Xara 3D heading maker (above)
– all are in 24 point and backgrounds have been changed on some images –
To use this heading maker simply replace the text (default is "Xara3D") with the text you require. Adjust the font size (you might have to experiment a little with this) and select the font you require. The style of the heading can be changed and also the color of the heading. Each time you make a change you are offered a popup window which shows what the heading looks like. You can close that window to continue editing your heading.
Once everything is set, click on the heading in the popup window and it will be saved to your hard disk in PNG format (follow the prompts).
If you would prefer to use GIF or JPG for your image (though most modern browsers will render PNG correctly) you can use any paint-style program which supports both formats – even free programs like IrfanView can display PNG files and convert them to GIF or JPG.
While this Xara 3D heading maker does a great job, you can get a trial version of the full program by clicking on the link in the heading maker. Of course, the full version is much more powerful and, if you are serious about creating fabulous headings, it is a small cost to get such a powerful tool. The Xara site also offers other goodies, like fonts for only $2 each.
