Abstract
Systems and methods for distorting the form or format of an object in an electronic document. A sketch effect theme defines parameters that when applied to the object modify one or more coloring, formatting, and effects characteristics of the object to convey a sketched or hand-drawn look or feel to the object. The parameters are stored in a record associated with the document to persist the sketch effect theme through different sessions in which the document is active or open.
