Welcome To ProDesignHost.com Photoshop Tutorials Area - Bling Bling text
|
Start a new document. for now, we will fill the background
with black, so our text will standout more and easier to work
with.
Now create your text, in white.
|
|
Now apply the following layer styles to the text
(Layer->Layer style): Bevel and Emboss, Gradient Overlay
|
|
Now CTRL+CLICK on your text layer to make
a selection of it.
(for Photoshop CS, you need to
CTRL+CLICK on the icon of layer in the layers
pallete)
CLICK HERE TO VIEW
Then go to Select->Modify->Contract.
and enter 5 pixels.
DO NOT DESELECT
YET!
|
|
Now create a NEW LAYER, and fill it with
WHITE.
Then go to Filter->Noise->Add
Noise, for amount, set: 40%,
Distribution: Gaussian, and monochromatic
checked. after that, press CTRL+F twice to
reapply the filter.
|
|
Now go to Filter->Noise->Dust &
Scratches. Radius: 1, Threshold: 130
(Note, you
will need to play with the threshold setting, you may not want
to use the same setting as mine).
Then go to: Filter->Stylize->Emboss:
Height: 3, Amount: 130%
This is too dark now, so lets brighten it up again: go
to:
Image->Adjustments->Brightness/Contrast:
Move
the brightness slider over to about: +70, and the contrast to
about -20.
Now you can press CTRL+D to deselect.
|
|
Now apply the following layer styles to this top (noise)
layer.
Bevel and Emboss,
Inner Shadow.
|
|
To add some shines to it, CREATE A NEW LAYER, select the
brush tool, set to 3px hard brush,and draw a X on the new
layer, in WHITE, then, set your brush size to 27px SOFT EDGE
brush, and stamp a circle in the middle of the X.
See below.
|
|
Now just get the eraser with a SOFT Edge brush, and erase
out the the ends of the X (cross) to make a fade effect. Now
just duplicate that star and put it on your text.
This one is simply a different gradient (step 2) applied to
the original text layer.
This effect is best created at a larger size then reduce it
in the end to give a more detailed look. Select all (CTRL+A),
and copy merged (CTRL+SHIFT+C), then paste (CTRL+P) , then do
a CTRL+T to transform, and resize it. you MUST do the above
step to resize, if you simply resize the text, it will NOT
work because all your layer styles will now readjust itself
for the new size.
So, heres my final.
