How to Create an Ice-cold Poster with 3D Text In this tutorial, you'll learn how to combine stock images and 3D text into a cool poster. We'll use an icy theme for it and color it the way we want. You'll see it's not that hard to create a simple appealing poster with effective use of text and imagery. Final Image Preview Before we get started, let's take a look at the image we'll be creating. Video Tutorial Our video editor Gavin Steele has created this video tutorial to compliment this text + image tutorial. Step 1 For this tutorial I'll recreate the poster on a smaller canvas. In my case, after resizing, it did not cover all of the canvas. Step 2 To darken the texture, we first desaturate it. Step 3 Create a new text layer with the text "ICE ICE ICE" in a white color (font: Century Gothic bold). Go into the Blending Options (Right-click the layer and select Blending Options...) and give it an Outer Glow. Step 4 Create a new layer and use a soft brush at 180px to create a light blue (#34d1f8) area like in the preview. Step 5 Step 6 Step 7
Old School Type – Line Gradients One of our readers suggested we write a tutorial explaining how to do this cool text effect. On the Dragonforce logo above, the basis of my typography was sketched on paper first and then vectored in Illustrator using the Pen Tool. The process for creating the base logo is not included in this tutorial. Instead, we are going to take the base logo and add that cool “line gradient” effect that you see inside the actual letters. Here are some more examples: So in order to get this effect, we will need both Adobe Illustrator CS2 or higher and Adobe Photoshop. You can see the kind of effect we are going to create. Step 1: Prepare your base logo or typeface. We will use our Dragonforce Logo as our base, but you can simply use your favorite font. 1a: Open up Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop 1b: Create your base text (just type something out using a bold font) Step 2: Make a new document in Photoshop You’ll need to make a new document in Photoshop that’s 2500×2500 pixels and 300 DPI.

How To Create a Realistic Money Effect in Photoshop The classic illustration style used on money is something I’ve always wanted to figure out how to replicate in Photoshop. There’s plenty of Photoshop tutorials that show how to create a basic halftone line effect, but they never quite capture that authentic engraved look with plenty of shading and tone. After lots of trial and error I finally managed to figure it out, so here’s an in depth tutorial on how to create a realistic money illustration effect in Photoshop (with some help from Illustrator!). The effect we’ll be creating in today’s tutorial is this vintage engraved or etched illustration style that builds up the tonal areas of an image with lots of tiny lines. Before we can add the effect to a photograph we first need to build a range of ‘screens’ which will then be layered up over our chosen image to produce the carved illustration effect. Enter 4mm in the Size option and apply 11 ridges in the settings. Head back to Object > Blend > Blend Options to configure the settings.
