![]() After that go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Select all layers used to create the text effect and duplicate them. The pattern will be applied only over the text. After that go to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection. That way you will create a marquee selection of the text layer. Holding Command on a MAC or Control on a PC, click on the thumb of the text layer in the Layer Panel. Rotate the layer with the pattern and change the Blend Mode to Soft Light. Name it Stripe and you have a nice Pattern.īack to our design, add a new layer and fill it with the Pattern you have just created. Use 100% to 40% for the Opacities of the Gradient. The Fill the Layer with a Lienar Gradient using white for the color but different Opacities. Resize the background layer so it will have 20 pixels width. Create a new document with 40 pixels for the width and 200 pixels for the height. Now let's create a Pattern to use in our design. For the Highlight Mode use Color Dodge with 70%. The Highlight Mode will be Screen with white for the color and 100% Opacity, while the Shadow Mode will be 0%.ĭuplicate the layer again to make the effect stronger.ĭuplicate the layer again but this time let's edit the Bevel and Emboss. Now for the Shading, change the Angle to 145º, Altitude to 25º. For the Size use 2 pixels and 8 pixels for the Soften. For the Bevel and Emboss change the Direction to Down. That way there won't be any color but the Layer Style will still work over a transparent layer. Select Contour as well.ĭuplicate the text layer and the the first thing to do is change the Fill to 0%. Then for the Shadow Mode use Multiply and black for the color with 45% Opacity. For the Highlight Mode use Color Dodge and white for the color with 75% Opacity. Now for the Shading part use 120º for the Angle, 30º for the Altitude. For the Direction use Up, for the Size use 6 pixels and 8 pixels for the Soften. Use Inner Bevel for the Style, Smooth for the Technique, 190% for the Depth. Use Multiply for the Blend Mode, 120º for the Angle, 5 pixels for the Distance and 20 pixels for the Size.Īfter the Drop Shadow select Bevel and Emboss. Use Pink and Blue for the colors, Linear for the Style, and 90º for the angle.Īfter the Gradient Overlay select Drop Shadow. Then go to Layer>Layer Styles>Gradient Overlay. Now that you have the text with the swirls convert it to Smart Objects. I used the same element that I used in the previous step, just a little smaller. Place another element in the end of "Design" using the "n". ![]() The one I'm using was courtesy of Shutterstock and you can download it here But basically, let's import a swirl element and place it before the "A". This is pretty much the same thing I did in another tutorial the Swirl Type in Photoshop. To make the effect more attractive let's add some swirls. Pay use the end of the "y" to connect with the "D", it's very important that the words connect otherwise the effect won't work as well. Use the image below for reference of position and try to connect the words like the "Bs". I used another font for it, "Champignon Alt S." and you can download it at as well. Now right below the "Abducted" line type "by". We will need a caligraphy style font, I'm using Champignon and you can download it at. Adding noise to gradients is really good because it makes the gradient more subtle. Use 2%, Gaussian and make sure you selected Monochromatic. I'm applying this gradient via layer styles because I want to add a filter to the layer later on and then I will be able to try different colors. What will happen is that as we're using multiply the edges of the image will be darker. Make sure that the white is in the center. Change the Blend Mode to Multiply and the Opacity to 60%. Choose grey (# 707070) and white for the colors. With the Background layer selected go to Layer>Layer Style>Gradient Overlay. Then fill the background with a very dark color #1f1e1e. Open Photoshop and create a new document, I used 1920x1200 pixels for the Size. The effect is really simple and we will take a look at how to create patterns and light effects with Blend Modes. So I decided to play a bit with Photoshop to create a nice sort of 3D effect using a calligraphy font and a lot of Layer Styles. Last week I posted some articles about typography and received quite a few emails asking me to create a tutorial on text effects.
