Hi. I know it's been a while since I haven't posted any new tutorials, but hey, here is one new tutorial for you. Your waiting was not in vain :). Today we will talk about this new text tutorial. We will finish it really fast, this is an example of how strong the layer styles can be. I guaranty you that it will take less than 5 minutes to finish, and the effect looks great!

This text effect tutorial will work only on colored backgrounds, so be aware of this. You won't be able to get the same effect on white and black.




Step 1.

Create a new photoshop document. I'd suggest making it 800x400 or something similar to that. Keep a 2:1 ration anyway and fill it with a color of your choice.

Note: Use a darker color, like dark blue/green/orange. Don't use a light color, since we want the text to stand out like a light glowing shape.




Step 2.

Start typing a title of some sort. It's not important the color that you use for your text. For the font, I used Nyala, a font that I use a lot. You can find it for free @ dafont.
















Step 3.

Apply the following blending options. That is Layer->Layer Style->Blending Options.

































Step 4.



Add the last minute effect, do whatever you like with the background. This depends on what you will use this font for. For the sake of this tutorial, I've added a border and a nice glass effect.
