"Finesse" Text Effect With Canvas™ 7 Part Five

17. To complete the effect we want to shift vector objects 1 and 2 so they appear just slightly below and to the right of the text object to give the illusion of depth with only a hint of a highlight. It is very difficult to see this effect on screen without using a higher magnification. However, the subtle nature of this effect really looks best when it is used for print.

18. Once again, it is very fast and easy to create special text effects with Canvas. As mentioned previously, it will render perfectly as PostScript® outlines and can be used for either print or screen displays with no loss in quality.
