Here is a little bit of help and how you can DISign a lot of things just using MS Word...already on your computer I'm sure! Go all the way to the bottom after the explanation of how to do this and you will find a t-shirt that I DISigned using word:
First how to download fonts...unless you have Vista...then I'm not sure:
To use a lot of these designs…you will need to download a font called “Waltograph” to your computer. Here is how:
• Go online to
www.dafont.com
• Search, find and open a font called “Waltograph”
• Click on the “Download” button
• Then click on “Open”
• Next you will need to unzip the file. In most computers, a screen will pop up with a box on the left that says “folder tasks” and in the box click on “extract files” Follow the prompts by clicking “next” and “finish” making sure that the final box has a check mark next to “show files”
• A new box will pop up. In this box, copy “Waltograph42” and “WaltographUI”. Do this by holding down your “control” button on the bottom left corner of your keyboard and click each file. Then on the top of the screen click on “edit” and in the drop down box click on “copy”.
• Next click on your computers “Start” button
• Then click on “Settings”
• Then click “Control Panel”
• Then open the file that says “Fonts”
• At the top of the font screen click on “Edit” and then in the drop down menu click on “Paste”
Now the correct font will show up when you open these files. Otherwise, your computer will choose a similar font but it may not be centered or fit the image correctly.
Now that you have the Disney font downloaded lets do something a little more difficult using MS Word.
Text Box
• First copy and paste the image you want to add a name, word or words to.
• Next make sure that your cursor is below the image that you want to insert a text box over by hitting return twice.
• Then look for the tab at the top of word that says "insert", click on it and scroll down and click on "text box".
• Next, a big box will show up on the screen that says text box...ignore this box but look for your mouse that will show up as an +. Move the +/mouse to where you want your text box to go then left click and drag the mouse to make the size box you want for the area you want the wording to go.
• Then go back up to the top of word and click on "format" and click on "text box" in the drop down menu.
• Look for the tab that says "colors and lines". In the fill section make sure the color box says "no color". In the line section make sure the color says "no line". Then the background will show through behind whatever text you type in the box and there won't be a line around the text box.
• Now you can type whatever you want inside the box by clicking inside the box and choosing font and size.
• If the box isn't the right size you can drag the corners and sides to make it the right size.
This is great to use when you find a DISign or picture of a Disney Character that you like and want to add a name to it. For example, Natalie's great Mickey Heads...she has a lot of blank ones in her shared file that you can add names to.
Borders:
• Go to the top of word and right clicking on "format" in the drop down box you will see "borders, page borders and shading"
• The borders will allow you to add a border around an image and will let you choose the size of the line and color.
• The page border tab will let you add a border to an entire page.
• The shading will allow you to color the background if you don't want a white background, but only beyond the square of the image that you pasted into word.
Below find the picture of the t-shirt design I made using MS Word. I took the plain Playhouse Disney Logo and added all of the characters on top of it (the Einsteins, Mickey and Gang, Pooh and Friends, etc. were not originally on the logo) and also added the word "fanatic" below Playhouse Disney. Then I added a border around the whole thing. A great place to get disney character images is
www.disneyclips.com It already has the images without a background so they work great in word and will allow things to show around them without having a white box like some images you might try to use.
If you want to do more...let me know and I can give you instructions for how to make a scrapbook page using MS Word. There is really a lot you can do with it...then when you want to do more and have the money and time invest in a program like Photoshop Elements.
especially jtanddolly! I will definitely try all these ways when I get home!
