The problem comes when I try to make the text look gothic and read-able. I also obviously need the words to fit well with the image. An example of one I have done before can be found here. So does anyone have any good ideas? I'm looking for techniques, ideas, examples to emulate and fonts (must be free and legally downloadable). Any help would be great, thanks.

I have problems using gothic fonts too, at least if I want the viewer to be able to understand it. pleaseremove Posted at 8:10 am on April 22, 2006 Quote: from bruhaha here at 3:12 pm on April 22, 2006 it looks  a little blurry though. dafont really has the best fonts. of all kinds I made it blurry deliberately, its an effect i added over the top. it looks fine to me. bruhaha here Posted at 7:12 am on April 22, 2006 it looks  a little blurry though. dafont really has the best fonts. of all kinds pleaseremove Posted at 11:53 am on April 20, 2006 Thanks very much. I did use your font telomere, so thanks for that. As it stands it looks like this: http://craiga.pleaseremoveyourfeet.com/ Which I think shall do for now.... dzyna Posted at 11:04 pm on April 19, 2006 you could also download some fonts off DAfont.com for free, there are many more sites, but this is my fave, try layers, multiply, screen, ink splatter if you have brushes, good luck telomere13 Posted at 6:43 pm on April 19, 2006 These are very simple, but I think they're fairly effective.  I just used this font then added another layer with a motion blur underneath it. (edit)For some reason I thought you needed to use a highlighted set of links too, which is what the second one is for.  They're both more readable without JPEG compression (obviously).
