Text Box vs. Table: Which Tool Should You Choose?
There are two methods for designing Hangul titles: utilizing text boxes and tables.
Before diving into the Hangul title design methods, it's essential to understand the differences between the two tools.
Text boxes and tables each have unique pros and cons, and your choice should be made depending on your desired design.
When to Use Text Box Titles
If you want to round the corners of the title border, apply shadow effects, or if the overall visual effect is fundamental to the Hangul title design, it is recommended to use text boxes.
However, text boxes do not allow for removing or setting different thicknesses for specific border directions, and fine-tuning of borders is challenging.
When to Use a Table (1 row, 1 column) Title
If you want to emphasize or remove specific borders or set up a Hangul title line with a thick bottom border, creating a table (1 row, 1 column) is a good option. With this, you can hide side borders and achieve a sleek design.
However, tables cannot have rounded corners, and shadow effects cannot be applied.
