Bauhaus quote widget

What a Bauhaus quote widget shows

A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.

It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.

How the Bauhaus style shapes it

Bauhaus widgets are built from basic shapes in red, yellow and blue on an off-white ground. Circles become dials, bars become progress and type stays geometric and plain.

• Text: Use a geometric sans in capitals and keep it small beside the shapes.

How to make a Bauhaus quote widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #F4EFE3 and the corner radius to 4.
2. Add a Text layer and type your quote. Set the font to Josefin Sans, the size to 22 and the color to #1B1B1B.
3. Press return where you want the line to break, and set the alignment to left.
4. Add a second Text layer with just an opening quotation mark at size 54 in #D93025.
5. Add the author on its own Text layer at size 12 in #6D6A62.
6. Add the Bauhaus ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a large yellow circle (Shape) in the top right corner and a 30 × 30 blue square in the bottom right, both behind the content.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for Bauhaus quote widgets

• Limit color to red, yellow, blue, black and cream.
• Let one large shape dominate each widget.
• Keep quotes under about 12 words so the text can stay large.
• Break lines by meaning, not wherever the text happens to wrap.
• Always credit the author on a separate, smaller line.
• Do not use gradients or shadows.
• Do not round shapes halfway; use full circles or square corners.
