Abstract FX Text Effect Photoshop Tutorial
Step 1 - Create a new Document
Choose File > New (Ctrl + N). I'm using a wallpaper of 1440px (width) X 900px (height). You can have a wallpaper of any other size. The background color should be black.Step 2 - Create a Text
Type the text that you want to work with. I'm using "FX" as my choice of text, but you can use anything else. The font color should be white. I'm using the font "Harabara".Step 3 – Rasterize the Text
Next, we need to duplicate the layer (Layer > Duplicate Layer). Right click on the duplicated layer then click Rasterize Type.Step 4 - Adding Satin Style
Click Layer Style (fx) in the layer palette, and select Satin, then enter the settings below:- Blend Mode: Multiply
- Opacity: 100%
- Angle: 143°
- Distance: 3px
- Size: 3px
Step 5 - Adding Bevel and Emboss
Adding Bevel and Emboss will shed a smooth light shade on the text. "Bevel and Emboss" is just above "Satin" that you clicked on in the previous step. Apply the following settingsStructure
- Style: Inner Bevel
- Tech: Smooth
- Depth: 100%
- Direction: Up
- Size: 250px
- Soften: 7px
- Angle: 132°
- Altitude: 26°
- Highlight mode: Normal
- Highlight Color: #9a1a82
- Highlight Opacity: 84%
- Shadow mode: Normal
- Shadow Color: #c5df27
- Shadow Opacity: 27%.
Step 6 - Adding Colors to Background
We shall now merge 4 different colors to create a colorful background.First, create a new layer to work on. Select Pen Tool from the tools bar on the left then create a path as you see in the image below with the gray line. Select Brush Tool (B) from the tools then right click on the screen. Select the feather brush, which I have highlighted with the red circle in the image below.
Go to the Pen Tool then change the foreground color to Pink (#FF00FC). Right click on the screen then select "Stroke Path". Choose Brush, activate "Simulate Pressure" (for soft and feathered edges), then click OK. We now have a path in pink.
Repeat this step three times but use different colors;
- Blue (#009CFF)
- Green (#46FF00)
- Yellow (#FFF700)
Step 7 - Merging Background Colors
Select all the layers & Merge (Ctrl + E). Now all the effects we've done appear on the same layer.Step 8 - Making Soft & Smooth Color Shade
The way to create soft & smooth edges for the colors: select Menu > Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur > Radius = 66.4px, and reduce the opacity to 33%. You should have a background image similar to this one below.Step 9 - Duplicating Layer to Add Glow behind the Text
Select the text as you see in the image. Click on Select > Modify > Expand = 2px. Create a new layer below the text. It should be white.Step 10 - Adding Blur
In order to make the text smooth, we need to choose Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur (Radius = 5px).Step 11 - Filling Colors
Our goal is to fill 4 different colors inside the text. Select the blurred text & lock it. Then go to the tools bar & select Brush Tool (B) > right click on the screen & select the feather brush.Fill the 4 different colors that we used in Step 6. See the image below for reference. You should end up with a picture the same as the final image below.
Step 12 - Adding Effects on the Text
Now is the fun part. We're going to add some cool effects to the text with the Brush. You can download the Brushes we need from this link: http://myphotoshopbrushes.com/brushes/id/328Create a new layer and name it "brush design". Select Brush Tool & set the foreground color to white. Select the brushes that you just installed, and add the effect to the corners of the text as you see in the image below. Do the same for all the corners of your text. The final image below should give you a rough idea of what the product should look like.
