Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a method of creating a graphic file having a personalised message for printing on a stationery product. The method comprises receiving an unformatted message comprising a string of characters; displaying on a display device at least one font option for selection by a user; receiving a font selection from the displayed options; applying the font selection to the unformatted message and arranging the unformatted message into at least one line of characters to produce a formatted message, wherein the line has a writing axis along which the characters are positioned; generating an altered formatted message from the formatted message; and generating a graphic file based on the altered formatted message.
