X-treme Text effect |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
For this tutorial, I recommend those which have a good grip on the "Pen Tool". For those not familiar with the "Pen Tool", please view the "the Basics of the Pen Tool". For the curious, for this tutorial, my inspiration came from a label on a Coleman cooler. We'll begin this tutorial, by creating a new canvas at a size of 300 x 155 then choose a background image that suits your needs. I chose the below image, which I made earlier. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Next, select the "Pen Tool" and draw the below shape using 016ca2 as the color. Name this layer "Highlight". |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Now, create an "X" shape again using the "Pen Tool" using 002e74 as the color. Name this layer "X".
|
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Then, create the top part of the X using the "Pen Tool" using 064997 as the color. Name this layer "Gradient". Make certain that the Foreground color is now White and move to the next step.
|
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
You should now have the below image. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Select the "Text Tool" and use the below settings. Download the typeface here. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Now type "treme" above the X layers. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
You should now have the below image. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Select the "Text Tool" once again and type "Photoshop". Then apply steps 9 through 11. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
You should now have the below image. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Now select the "Brush Tool" and use the below settings. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Now create a new layer and place beneath all layers except the background layer. Change the Foreground color to White and click once beneath the X as the below image illustrates. Name this layer "Light" for lack of a better word. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
You should now have the below image. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
The Results!!! |
|||||||||
I've added some background curvy things using the "Pen Tool" with low opacity, but that's it. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
