- 01Write one sentence.
Name one subject and, if you like, a mood or a color. "A wolf howling at a yellow moon" is enough.
02Pick one of the five styles.Retro, Cartoon, Quote, Bold graphic or Mascot. The style sets the line weight and the palette.

A weak result costs nothing. Change the sentence and make another.

One subject reads from across a room. A scene with five things in it turns to mud at shirt size.
