Online Graphics Creation

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on

If you're not a PhotoShop user and need a graphic, there are websites that allow you to create them online.


Cool Text is a free graphics generator for creating logos & buttons. Most likely that would be for web pages, but they would work for presentations or documents too. Without a lot of design work, you choose what kind of image you would like, sizes, fill out a form, the image is created on the fly and then you save it to your computer. You can save images as .jpg, .gif or .png files. There's no registration.


The site has extensive font styles to choose from - about the only fonts you won't find are the common ones like Arial or Times New Roman.



Want your own logos in those unique Google and Yahoo! font styles?
You can make your own online.


If you already have a graphic and want to transform it, try WebFX which is a graphics manipulation tool. Again, no downloads, plug-ins or registration. It has about 50 different effects that you can apply to an existing web graphic. Some are animated .GIFs and the others are standard JPGs. Just put in the URL for the graphic (like this one) and then apply an effect - I selected "TV set" and got the image below.




Take a look at the sample transformations you can apply.
