Textual Healing (an inspiration post).
Text is probably one of my favorite iconning elements. I enjoy in a great deal in my own work and in others' work as well. But I also know that 'text is the ultimate enemy' is an attitude shared by many because text can be a fickle mistress. That's one of the reasons I wrote my guide to wooing text! And it is also why I chose text as the theme for my inspiration post. Maybe this will inspire some of you to go out there and give text a try! It's fun, I promise! And it can add so much to an icon! :D
