1 Tutorial a Day-11th Entry Color Chrome Text
Friday, August 14th, 2009This one seemed pretty cool mainly because I am really trying to learn more text effects. I think a lot of them would be good to consider when creating logos, not all of them but some. So I went to webtoolkit4.me and found this one, I actually did a google search for tutorials having to do with text and found this one. I have never been to this site before I have to check out what other goodies they have!
Here is the look chromed out with a little color in there. Now every one who has messed around with Photoshop has probably come across the Plastic Wrap filter which gives a some what similar effect. But this was totally done in Layer Styles which is great for learning about Layer Styles.
Here is my version, I decided to add a reflection, some strokes of light and some bling. I made the reflection in 2 seconds you can check out how HERE, I have been doing that one for a while so it gets easier and faster every time. Actually my friend ryan showed me that one, you can check out his cool graphic design over at mean-e.com. The strokes of light are from a paintbrush set I found on the internet a while back, just do a google search and you will find them or something cooler. I just added all that stuff to change it up a little, you have to make these tutorials yours in some way. Have fun with them and experiment with the possibilities that’s what I did. There you have it something for that special someone! CINTA!
