Step 1
First create a new .PSD document, 600 x 400 pixels in
RGB mode, 72 DPI with WHITE background color. Now prepare your assets.
Install the Times New Yorker font into your computer and open the .PAT
file.
Step 2
First,
we need to make a layer from background. To do this, right click on
Background layer and choose "Layer from background" name it as you wish
and hit OK. Now go to Menu > Layer > Layer Style > Blending
Options and use the settings below. You can also access Blending Options
with two faster ways. First and the fastest way is to double click on
the layer in your layers menu. Other way is to right click on the layer
in your layers menu and choose Blending Options. When you are done with
all the settings below, don’t forget to hit "OK" in the Blending Options
window.
Step 3
Now
we can start making our text effect. First choose a type tool and
change font to Times New Yorker, size around 174 pt and anti-aliasing
Sharp. Now type your text somewhere in the center of the image. You can
write any word, but in this tutorial I’ll use "SCARY". All letters
uppercase.
Step 4
Go
to Menu > Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options and use the
settings below on your text. You can also use the quicker methods to
access Blending Options from "Step 2" of this tutorial. When you are
done with all the settings below, don’t forget to hit "OK" in the
Blending Options window! This is the main text layer and will do most of
the effects.
Step 5
Now
duplicate your text layer by selecting the text layer in layer menu and
going to Menu > Layer > Duplicate layer and name it as you wish.
Now go to Menu > Layer > Layer Style > Clear Layer Style as we
will make different style for this layer. Finally, go to Menu > Layer
> Layer Style > Blending Options and use the settings below on
your text. You can also use the quicker methods to access Blending
Options from "Step 2" of this tutorial. When you are done with all the
settings below, don’t forget to hit "OK" in the Blending Options window!
This text layer will be above the 1st text layer in your layer menu. It
will just add the dark shadow to the final result.
