Guide Review - Email Effects 1.6 - ASCII Art Tool

ASCII art is both fascinating and remote. I can barely draw a rose using plain text characters only. Unless, of course, I use Email Effects.

Extremely easy to use, Email Effects requires no skills, but even I can produce striking output with it. A number of text tools let you write simple or fancy text, maybe using one of the included Figlet fonts.

Email Effects also offers a pencil which you can use to draw with ASCII characters. While the pencil works great, more different drawing tools would certainly be nice. At the same time, you can draw in another program, of course, and convert the image (or any image!) to ASCII art with Email Effects.

All in all a fun and easy to use tool to creates stunning ASCII output in minutes.
