Wrapping Easter designs - true type fonts

The Easter egg font sets include many different Easter egg shapes and all include many different wrappings. Some of the Easter egg wrappings are fairly basic and some are more complex containing a variety of their own designs. The designs include wavy lines, flower shapes, speckled shapes and more. Easter eggs are all vectors and are for any size of document or artwork.

You can use the Easter egg shape once or multiple times in a document.

The Easter egg shapes font designs have no color, they are not just black even though I have tendency just to use them as black. They can be re-colored in a number of ways and that depends on the application. If you are using Photoshop and the Easter egg fonts then you can re-color them simply via the Photoshop toolbox - use the foreground color - in exactly the same way as you would change the color of a font shape 'Verdana' etc.

Photoshop Layer effects and fonts

Use layer effects and styles to change the easter egg color as well as the material of the Easter egg if you are using the Easter egg as a layer - simply apply a layer effect color overlay. If you are using styles you can also turn the Easter egg into a pastel / sketched look or a graduated look or patterned or metallic or plastic or gel look. There are numerous Photoshop styles available on the graphicxtras site via the Photoshop styles pages. You can, of course, use effects that come with other applications such as 3D etc effects in Microsoft Word - use to create truly weird and wonderful Easter egg designs

Installation of the Easter Egg fonts

The Easter egg shapes font set is installed- as all fonts - via the control panel on the PC and via the font book application on the mac. OK, it doesn't have an installer application so you have to do the installation by hand but it doesn't take much more than a few seconds to do.

Once installed the Easter egg shapes font can be seen via the dropdown in most software - I haven't tested all the software in the world so I am certain some have their own quirky way of loading fonts and might exclude decorative fonts. I know some 3D applications cannot use text / type fonts as their functionality is geared to the development of 3D designs from spheres etc - all DTP and design applications should support truetype fonts - Easter eggs fonts or otherwise

The easter egg font shapes can be re-colored - they have no default color so when you first see them, they might be black etc depending on the default fill color of your application. Setting the color depends on the application and this is generally via a fill color or background color or the toolbox of the software (you will have to check the application's manual) but most will allow the change of the Easter egg text color.

The easter egg font shapes can be used once but they can be used multiple times. The above example shows the easter egg shapes applied in different locations in an image and with different font sizes set (though in many cases you can also use the application's scaling options but this might or might not be available).

The easter egg font shapes can also be added to a t-shirt or anything else. They can be applied once as above or as a pattern or multiple times in different colors etc - depends on the t-shirt maker.

example showing easter egg text color being changed in Microsoft word pad - just select the text (easter egg shape) and then select the text color drop down and select a swatch from the display or click the more colors option.

Paint Shop Pro and Easter Egg preset shapes

If you want to use the font shapes as a source for wonderful preset shapes in PaintShop Pro - it is fairly easy. You can also use the entire font to create a massive number of designs but that does require some initial setup of a psp file. Anyway, load the easter egg font shapes via the type dropdown in PaintShop Pro (any version that can use preset shapes) and then type some text (A B C etc depending on the easter egg design that you want to use) and then right click the text design and select the option to convert text to curves and then select the as a single shape. The shape is then an Easter egg preset shape. You can save this preset shape via the file menu and export to shape option - you will be asked to enter a name (make it unique) - it is in the standard pspshape format. The file is then saved to the current preset shapes folder for PaintShop Pro and will be loaded everytime you start up PSP (and select the preset shapes tool). You can add color etc to the Easter egg shape via the materials / properties palette. It is fairly quick and easy to convert all the font shapes in this manner (you might even like to write a script to do this).

I have set up for my own use, a file with all the font characters used in my fonts and then I just copy that into PSP and break that down into a set of 100 or so layers which are then all quickly given a name and from there convert all the easter eggs shapes etc into preset shapes for final saving via the export command. Generally it does not take too long once you get into the swing of the conversions and you can always use command / button setup to aid the creation of the preset shapes. You may find easier ways of converting all the shapes - as mentioned, perhaps a script can be created.
