Cool Text

Learn how to make a sleek text design with shine. Category: Photoshop
Difficulty:
Easy

3 EASY STEPS TO MAKE STYLISH TEXT Step 1
Start off with a blank document, preferably a dark background (any size will do). Get any font (I used Trebuchet MS) and write out anything you want!

I put one word in bold as it seperates the 2 words put together.
Step 2
Put a neutral colour as one word, and a bright colour on the other. Preferably the neutral colour goes on the bold word.

Step 3
Now were off to the settings! Double click the text layer in the layer palette.
Click 'Gradient Overlay' and use the following settings:
Blend Mode: Overlay
Opacity: 50%
Now goto 'Drop Shadow'.
Use the following settings:
Blend Mode: Overlay (#000000)
Opacity: Depending on the background, go up and down and find out which looks the best. I chose '25%'

Distance: 2
Spread: 0
Size: 0
Now goto 'Inner Shadow'.
Use the following settings:
Blend Mode: Overlay (#000000)
Opacity: 45%

Distance: 1
Choke: 0
Size: 1

After these settings are applied you should end up with something like this:

Add some effects to it and vwala!

Thanks!
