Challenge 166: Text Me

[luminousdaze]

Challenge 166
The new theme is...
Text Me

We haven't done this theme here since way back at round sixty-three, so, it's that terrific time again to test your trusty or trendy text & typographical techniques!
Apply text by typing it yourself or by using decorative text brushes or stock such as these sets here, here and here.
I know adding text to icons is tough, mostly it's tough to think of what to say, so those kinds of resources can be useful.

When you say stock, you do mean pictures taken from sites like Pixabay are okay, right?

[luminousdaze ( as admin)]

Hi, yes, stock from pixabay, Unsplash and such is fine. :) Please, just add some text yourself to the icons.
For example, not making an icon of a picture of a sign or graphic poster already complete with words.
I know you didn't ask about pre-made text graphics, but I'm adding it just in case anyone reads this later and wonders about it.

Thank you for using one of my icons in the inspiration post. I had totally forgotten about that one. <3

[luminousdaze]

You're welcome! ^_^

[wolfish_willow]

Thank you so much for the links to the text resources! I hardly ever use text in icons because it's so hard to figure out <3

[luminousdaze]

You're welcome! :) I didn't put this in the post but, if you don't already know, also at soaked there are great text textures mixed in with many of lookslikerain's variety pack texture sets.
