Assignment #3 DO NOT DO
Download fonts from the Web:

Go to [] and search for the Disney font. The font name is called Waltograph. Click the download button. Open the Zip file and select the file that is named Waltograph 42 and the file type is an Opentype. Click Install. If Photoshop is already opened you might have to save your work and close it before the font will appear. Once you reopen the software look for Waltograph in your font list. (it might require a user name/password to be entered. Raise you hand if it does and I will enter mine so you can finish the installation).

Type something in Photoshop with it.

Open Word and check to see if it is there now too :-)

However, there are a few that will take less than an hour to complete. Create the effect and email me the final product.
