Creative Challenge Contest
Round 5
---------------------------------
(Results of Round 4 at bottom)
Hello and welcome to the fifth round of the
Creative Challenge Contest! I’m Aliana, your Host; feel free to ask me any questions you have about the contest or individual challenges.
The Creative Challenge Contest is about artistic improvement, expanding your boundaries to do things you wouldn’t necessarily try otherwise. There will not be rounds about specific fandoms, but you can have fandom-related things in your graphics. If you have any suggestions regarding rounds or otherwise, let me know via PM and I’ll add them to the list. Remember to have fun and respect other contestants!
Round 5:
Typography 101
graphic: blend
This round is a flip from what I normally think of graphic making - usually I’ll tell someone that the text on their graphic needs to be unobtrusive, preferably compact, and an accessory for the artwork, not the artwork itself. This is a challenge to do exactly the opposite of that and make the text the focal point. Typography is a form of art in which you make a picture with words. It doesn’t have to be complicated or complex, just text-focused. Start out small and work your way towards more complicated things. Here are a couple tutorials to get you started:
Tutorial#1
Tutorial#2
Those are just the basics, nothing super-fancy about them. If I have the time this week, I plan on writing up a couple tutorials of my own on static typography to help you out.
TIP: Don’t let it stress you out. If something’s not working, try a different approach, twist the text or change the font to make it do what you want. =)

To me at least 
I'll give it a shot 
until i re-read it and realised it didn't have to be too complex,so I slowed down a bit and this is the result;
