What is BannerMania?

BannerMania is a specially graphics program designed for creating banners, bumper stickers, signs, posters, and T-shirt designs.

The program includes 19 custom outline fonts that let you enlarge your banner type without creating juggles, And BannerMania type is BIG—a single letter can fill an 8.5-x-11-inch sheet of paper. If you don't find the fonts you want in BannerMania, you can import Adobe Type I fonts. Once you've entered your type, you can bend and twist it into arcs, pennants, and ribbons. The program supplies 24 ways to manipulate type and has more than 20 built-in special effects, such as shadows, perspective, and 3-D.

BannerMania's most fascinating feature, Transmogrify, sets the program spinning through an almost endless series of variations based on a banner you've created. The program cycles through different fonts, colors, letter shapes, and layouts in quest of a better alternative. Your only problem will be making up your mind about which variation to choose.

A Preview window is BannerMania's handiest feature. After you type in a few lines of text tor a banner, you can call up the Preview window for immediate feedback on exactly how the banner is going to look when printed. Even the page breaks are displayed, which is helpful if you want to take advantage of a print option that lets you skip the page breaks or print over them in one long, unbroken sheet.

You can print your BannerMania banners in black-and-white, or in color if you use an ImageWriter II with a color ribbon. The program also works with the LaserWriter and other sheetfed printers, but they don't give you the dramatic banner sizes that the ImageWriter produces.

The program's 36-page manual is as close to perfection as a manual can get. It's informative and uncondescending, although obviously written with first-time Mac users in mind. After reading the manual, I had no questions at all about any function of the program.

BannerMania's only shortcomings arc that it can't import other graphics file formats and that it exports files only in 72-dpi PICT formal.

These minor drawbacks aside, BannerMania is the fastest, easiest way imaginable to emblazon your world with logos, greetings, slogans, and other assorted words of wisdom and foolishness.
