You can either just click on the text tool in the toolbar (the letter A near the bottom left), then click in your workspace and type, or you can go to Text > Text and Font via the menu. Fortunately, there are plenty of guides out there, so thanks to a lot of Google searches, here’s what I taught myself this week. I’m normally an Illustrator user, so while a lot of these concepts are ones that I normally use every day, I had to figure out how Inkscape accomplished the same actions. Our end product will be an SVG file, a vector format which can then be opened up in tons of other graphic programs. It’s a free vector editing program that has versions for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, so it’s a program that almost anyone can use. There are ways to achieve these effects in lots of software, but in the interest of making this tutorial something that anyone can do, I’m going to create these effects in Inkscape. Recently, I’ve seen people ask about how to get two specific text effects: a kind of “drop shadow” line, and a full outline.
