How to Grab Attention Using Great Looking Quotes

By on Jan 28, 2016

Getting anyone’s attention online with a social platform post is difficult. The volume of information available as people read through their news feeds makes it tough to get them to interact with you.

Using a compelling picture or graphic is a great way to get your post noticed. Moreover, there is nothing quite like an inspirational quote.

I recently came across an iOS app that I have been testing which makes it extremely easy for anyone to create attention-grabbing graphics from any citation.

That app is Retype from Sumoing.

There are lots of apps that add type to your photos, but Retype focuses on the typography aspect of your graphic. It helps make your image as unique as possible. In many cases, typography can be as important as the picture or background itself. Retype helps you turn your quote into an art form that will help you get attention.

You can tell the developers have a passion for typography. The app is all about adding text to any photo or background that you choose with style.

According to their website, Retype is the only type tool with 3D, shadow, and multi-color layer fonts. They have created an intelligent layout engine that lets you add many fonts, art, and design combinations with simple taps.

It has a clean and easy to use interface with a growing collection of quotes and background photos. You can also use any of your photos as well. Retype also includes a large selection of filters and controls to completely customize your final design.

Retype is an iOS app that works with both your iPhone and iPad, as well as directly from the native Photos App, thanks to the support of Apple Edit Extension.

I have found it to be fun to take inspirational quotes from others and/or some of my own and create fun images to post on various social platforms, including my website.

  1. This looks like a great app – thanks Steve. Do you know if there’s something like this that works on a desktop/laptop? That’s where I spend most of my time creating digital things that go on the internet. Thanks agin!

    • Eli, the only desktop app I know of that is close is Canva. It does allow lots of text options. Just not as automated.

  2. I have found Canva to be very user friendly and effective. Their basic designs are free but you can pay copyrights to get additional photos and pics.
