Art Text focuses on logo-style typography, essentially taking tools available in more complex programs and simplifying how you use them.
You get one canvas per logo, with layer support for adding multiple elements and straightforward yet powerful tools for manipulating those elements. You can also get sets of additional prebuilt templates available via IAPs. Working with text, background, and shape layers you can quickly build up a composition, choosing colours, textures, mask effects, shadows, surface materials, and more. 2D content can be converted to 3D with a click then rotated and positioned. Advanced textures like spray and bubbles are great fun to play with.
Someone with only fairly basic design skills can easily create 3D titles and graphics. Masking and distortion effects, which can require more experience to achieve in Photoshop, are simplified and provide excellent results without being overly technical.
With your logo completed you can export it to most major graphics formats, though not to a Photoshop PSD file, with an option to use transparency as well as exporting layers to separate files. More capable than simple text editors and easier to use than a full-blown design package, Art Text is a great way to create cool custom graphics. Hollin Jones
