Next, I’ll click anywhere on my Inkscape canvas to start a line of text (red arrow in the photo above). I’ll start this process off by grabbing my Text tool from the Toolbox (red arrow in the above image) on the left-hand side of the Inkscape user interface (you can also hit F8 on your keyboard to access this tool).

The technique is fairly easy, requiring just a few simple steps, but the final result can drastically improve your graphic design capabilities when working with text. Want to take your design skills up a notch – whether that be for designing logos or simply creating eye-catching text pieces?
