Create a Funky Retro Wavy Text Effect in Photoshop. We are going to create a retro-colored psychedelic background, which we are then going to apply to some text. The purpose of this tutorial is to learn how to mask out an image so that it just shows through the editable text, making it friendlier to modifications later on. We will also work with layering textures to create a grungy retro background. Preview This is what we’ll be creating. Resources Collage Texture by Zen TexturesStained Paper Texture by Zen TexturesPaper Texture by Zen Textures Step 1: Creating the shapes We are going to start by creating a new 1200px x 1200px document in Adobe Photoshop.

Using the Pen Tool (P), we are going to create an abstract organic shape, something like what I have below. Change the color (double-click the Color option box to open up color editor dialog box) to a blue color (#017eff). Step 2: Adding more shapes We are going to duplicate the shape layer we just made with Ctrl/Cmd + J. Change the color to a bright yellow color (#ffd801). Conclusion.

Congratulations to Michael Rinnan for winning the Five Second Project for March. His entry had a great concept and was outfitted with excellent lighting, atmosphere, camera movements and sound design. We wanted to know a little bit more about Michael’s entry, so we asked him a few questions regarding his workflow and the process for creating his winning piece. Where do you work? What is your title? Tell us about what you do at your company. I am a 3D generalist at NFL films in Mt. How did you come up with your concept for the Bright Lights Five Second Project? For my concept, my goal was to come up with a quick story I could tell in 5 seconds. What was the most challenging thing about your project? The most challenging part of this project was honestly the lighting. Tell us a little about how you achieved the zolly (push-pull zoom) effect. To achieve the zolly, I initially mapped out the motion of the motorcycles with a spline and then dropped a camera onto that motion path.
