Are you looking for cool font ideas for posters and birthday cards? When you have a large area to fill up with letters you can try styling them in 3D patterns.
The cool thing about 3D Letters is that the added dimension can be drawn in so many different ways.
You can show a letter lying on its side, or style it the way it would look if you were viewing it from the bottom. Whatever the design you try the 3D effect really makes the letters pop out, giving an edge to your posters or birthday cards.
When it comes to design, you can just start with simple shadow edges that make the letters look like they are raised on a page, or you can deepen the shadow effect so that the letters look like they are standing upright. As for the edges of each letter you can go for wood style themes, or keep the look simple with elegant floral patterns inside the letters. A narrow white line near the edges of a letter can make for a really cool 3D effect as the shape of the letter gets highlighted. A 3D effect on the letters goes well with a rubbed out or powdered look that gives an arty flavor to your message. Another great idea is to try old style fonts with decorative edges and curves that look elegant and beautiful. For the 3D style you can also go for totally modern design fonts inspired by the chic and polished look of metal or geometric patterns. Here are some ideas for fun with 3D Letters.
