In the somewhat recent past, [Microsoft's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-paint-1) WordArt was one of the only ways to add color and character to one's digital documents, and 'Make WordArt' is a program dedicated to reviving those campy, nostalgic styles. The project, created by graphic designer Mike McMillan, recreates a fairly accurate depiction of WordArt for Windows 95.

Make WordArt looks like a pared-down version of the actual WordArt application for Microsoft Word on Windows 95. Placed within a faux operating system that mimics the [old computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gpt-2000) (including the notorious Clippy character,) the program lets users select from a set of [15 different fonts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cursive-font-generator) inspired by the original WordArt. These include rainbow text and 3D green marble. Once a font is selected, users can enter any text they choose and Make WordArt will automatically place it on the mock document.
