Popular Post Harry Barton Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Here's a trial version of a sign for my house: I used a piece of scrap pine, and with the thinnest line less than 1mm, will need to make the design larger as it was really difficult to get the blade through the hole. As it is, we don't currently have a house sign, so this one is propped up in a window andit doesn't look too bad! I'll probably use birch ply for the proper sign, and shape the outline somehow. jollyred, Scrolling Steve, OzarkSawdust and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letters don't really exist, as I made a drop shadow, which is what I cut out, producing an optical illusion.

Rockytime Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Looks great! Looks like an optical hallucination. Interesting how the brain defines things. I like what you did. Harry Barton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Good work. Now go make the one you want to display outside. I use this type of font every once in awhile and it does play tricks on the mind. Thanks for posting Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I think that font is brilliant, I used Umbra Normal to do this. I just love the effect. Yours looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours looks great. Thanks! Umbra Normal is a font designed to look like a drop shadow. It's possible to achieve the effect with pretty much any font, in Word, Publisher etc. - no fancy program needed: just choose a font, type your word, then type it again (or copy & paste), change the second one to any different colour and lay it on top of the first one, moving it around to until the desired shadow effect is produced, then change the second word's colour to white, and print it out.
