Nope! But it's just a quick mockup in MS Word. You can adjust colors and shading a little but you should really have blended layers or color washes on top to hold it altogether - much easier to do in photoshop.

I am not really the creator of this video but I believe I can help. You can download all sorts of fonts in different websites. dafont.com is the most popular website to download fonts. However, unless you are open to purchasing a font to use you want to make sure you look for a font that is either public domain or 100% free which can be used for personal or commercial use. In dafont.com after you select what type of font you want, you just make sure your search options are filtering only those fonts so you should press in "more options" and check the boxes of public domain and 100% free. Those fonts you can use for whatever you want.
