For Keynote users coming from PowerPoint, Art Text warps text like Microsoft’s Word Art. But it also goes far beyond that allowing users to create logos, buttons, bullets, and more. It combines text and graphic effects with OS X’s Core Image magic to create a powerful yet easy to use package. You can then export this high quality artwork for use in Keynote and any other application that accepts basic file formats like PDF, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and EPS.

Art Text 2 has a redesigned interface which includes a Template Gallery with over 200 ready made buttons, headings and icons to use as a starting point. There’s also 120 new vector icons and over 190 supplied textures. Multiple layer support has been added, with each layer having it’s own properties and blend modes for even more flexibility in composition.

Art Text is available for download starting at $39.95. People who purchased version 1 after July 1st, 2008 get a free upgrade. Those who purchased prior to that can upgrade for $19.95, $10 if they’re upgrading from the retail boxed copy. Find out more and see video examples at BeLightSoft.com
