The application provides a fun text editing for your headers. The good thing is, it’s not just text, you can even create or edit buttons, logos, shapes and more, depends on how creative you are. Then you can use your designs to beautify your desktop looks, presentation, weblog or even your website. Furthermore, it is much more lightweight compared to the heavy duty Photoshop, so you should expect a very fast response time. Of course, as it is lightweight, the features will never  be comparable to Photoshop. It’s for fun, remember? You can use the result in iWork, iWeb, Microsoft Office and various more test edit and web design programs.

I did a few myself, and found out that you can actually get a firm grip of this application within 15 minutes (not like Photoshop or Pixelmator, it seems like forever before you can actually discuss about creating a banner design flawlessly with your friends).

Unfortunately, it is only available for Mac (I can’t find any Windows version) and it will cost you US$39.95 to purchase the license. You can still use the free demo version throughout the years, but your design will have a silhouette background of the word ‘Trial’. Not too obvious though, but enough to distract you. This is where Pixelmator or Photoshop can help you out, but surely if you are proficient with these two, you won’t be needing Art Text anymore.

To conclude this, I would rather say the Art Text 2 is a good and fun application to have, but won’t be a must. So for the Windows users, don’t worry. It won’t feel that bad not to have it.

PS: I’m still way off from average in Adobe Photoshop, which is why I find this Art Text very interesting. Anyone willing to be my mentor in Photoshop?

For the regulars, you can see that I have moved to a different platform now. From a simple, no-brainer Blogger to a complicated-yet-fun WP. However, there are things which are out of my control as I’m still far away from even an average blogger. I’ve got help from my best buddy, which is such a maestro in this blogging and web developing field. You can pay him a visit here.

So here I am, with a new look on my blog, and even a new name for it (used to be KATAKATA). Since this is very new, and quite awkward looking, I will need your feedback to improve.

Anything crosses your mind about my blog, whether you like it or not, compliments, critics, ideas, suggestions or anything will be much appreciated. Please leave your comments in the comment box below and everything you said will be taken into consideration. I’m expecting comments on the layout and design, not the posts. =)
