Photoshop Tutorial : How to make a light typography effect .

Hey guys .

It seems that light typography is taking you all time

so this tutorial is talking about this .

So as always  here is what we are going to do .

                                      

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 :

open a new image choose these colors  2e042b  &  c914b4

and with gradient tool make a gradient 

first make these settings :                           

And here the gradient I made .

Here I grabed a photo I took for my hands to include it in the file 

I Made a selection around it to extract it 

like this .

Now resize it 

Now to make it smooth I made a blur on it 

  from Filter >> Blur >> Shape Blur .

   like below .

and from Image >> Adjustments >> Photo Filter and choose one of the two colors used 

and increase the opacity to 100 % .

Im going to add the text .

well just make sure its all in one line . 

Now apply the wave filter 

so from Filter >> Distort >> Wave .

and apply these settings 

                 - Number of generators = 10

                 - wave lenth  :  Min = 260

                                             Max = 360

                 - Amplitude   :  Min = 40

                                             Max = 100

Or what ever it suits you .

and after you scale it and place it in the right position .

it will look like this .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2 :

Then apply outer glow blending option to it 

foloow these settings .

Now here I made 4 layers from the text layer 

  - first layer : gaussian blured 

  - second is an ordinary text layer

  - third layer is gaussian blured

  - fourth layer is the outer glowed layer

now you see the first two layer is in outer glow blending option 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3 :

make a groub " new groub "

name it effects because we are going to make the effects here .

make a new layer in side that group 

with pen tool make a wavy line like below 

then chose a medium size brush with low hardness 

then from " path " window right click on it then choose stroke path 

a window will pop up choose brush from it and check the stimulate pressure.

remeber the 4 text layers ?!  - group them then duplicate the whole group 

after that press CTRL+T then right click on it and choose flip vertical 

and move it a little to the right.

Now from the effect group make a new layer 

then choose the brush with a little big size and make a spot of white light in front of the hand .

then with the eraser tool erase some of it  

choose any brush you like.

then apply  Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian blur 

  again apply Filter >> Blur >> Motion blur 

 make the angle = 0

and a suitable value

  

Now apply a blending option : Outer Glow 

with this values .

Now make a new layer and with pen tool 

make with it these wavy lines 

like below 

then choose the brush and choose a small size with a small hardness .

and then select the path line from path window

and right click on it then choose stroke path like before

Now you could choose another suitable brush  and repeat the previous steps .

then make another lines again then with the previous brush make a stroke path like before

but this time blur it a little 

then apply an outer glow blending option 

like below .

again make a new layer choose a selection tool and select around the hand like below with high feather

then add a cloud render

    Filter >> Render >> Cloudes  but before that choose the very previous two colors .

now CTRL+D  to eliminate the selection

then reduce the fill for that layer .

sorry for the increased number of layers , but just that final effect 

Make a new layer 

choose a suitable brush with suitable size 

the with the pen tool draw lines around the hand like below 

and stroke path .

to apply a good effect to it

duplicate that layer then place it under the original layer 

then Filter >> Blur >> Shape Blur  ............choose the circle

Apply an outer glow blend option to it 

here is another way to make it 

you can let your prain blow up with ideas .
