Typography / Ink blot effect in Adobe Fireworks

Creating Ink blot effect in fireworks is extremely easy. To create this above effect I played around with strokes like “unnatural viscous alien paint”, “oil bristle” and “oil splatter”. I Also tried customising strokes by entering into stroke options button which is below all the stroke categories.

Simple steps I used to create the above effect.

• Typed text in desired font
  
  
• Drew simple small lines randomly over the text in the same color as used for text and played around / used different strokes like  “unnatural viscous alien paint”, “oil bristle” and “oil splatter”.
• The final effect looked like the one below
  
  
• The effects of differnet strokes
  
  Unnatural viscous alien paint
  
  
  Oil Bristle
  
  
  Oil Splatter
  

Hope above images gives an idea on how we can use different strokes to create blot effect and I hope this helps you in creating a lot more different typography.
