Blurred Text in InDesign
My life is a blur at the moment – I’m finding just about enough time to make the odd Twitter ‘tweet’ and that’s about it. There’s a small stack of podcasts that need finishing and I apologise for the delay as I do for the lack of posts recently; I promise to get back on track soon!
In the meantime, here’s a tip that I picked up a while back for making blurred text in InDesign – it’s appropriate at the moment!
Step 1: Create your text
Step 2: Select the text and set the fill to paper in the swatches panel
Step 3: In the Effects panel, set the blending mode of the text to Multiply and be sure to make sure that the knockout option is deselected.
Note: If you have the text sitting over a coloured background, it might look a little strange on your screen; turn on View: Overprint Preview (Shift-Cmd-Alt-Y) to see how it will look when it’s printed.
