When you’re in, apply the following layer styles (click links for settings): Start by right-clicking your text layer in the layer’s palette, then going into the Blending Options. Let’s add some interesting effects to our text now.
Note: In the above image, I’ve used #cc571d as my text color, but you may want to use something else, different colors will get different effects. Some good alternatives are Impact and Arial Black. I used a font called Frutiger 95, which is actually a commercial font, so you may have to use a different one. Get out the Horizontal Type Tool, and using a very nice, fat font write out some text. Now, time to write out your text on the canvas. We’re just looking for an interesting, random background, like mine: I used a very dark gradient for my background base (#181718 and #5f5f5f), then I added in a little bit of texture, using the free Filter Forge plugin, and also Filter > Render > Fibers. I used a small size for this Photoshop tutorial - 450 x 250 pixels, using the default Resolution, 72.Īfter making your document, add in a nice background.
