Typographic Effect Photoshop Tutorial

Pretty cool Photoshop tutorial, where we will add two text layers, one will be placed behind and the main at front. And I think you might really enjoy the final result, go for it and have fun!

Create a new custom sized document and after that click above on Edit and select Fill...

In a new window set Use to Black and click OK.

Press D key and then X key to select white color.

Select Horizontal Type Tool (T).

Then set any font and it's size you want.

Make a selection around the whole document where you will enter your custom text.

Then start typing anything you want ...

... and when finished click on Commit any current edits.

Click above on Edit and select Free Transform...

Make the whole transformation larger (see my pic) and rotate the layer with changing the corner values.

Also remember the corner values and press Enter key.

This is my current view.

Set Opacity to around 25% (see my pic).

Select Horizontal Type Tool (T).

Hide the text layer by clicking on eye icon on layer's palette.

Click on document and create a custom text like I did.

Enable view of previous text layer (see my pic).

The latest text layer must remain selected.

Click above on Edit and select Free Transform...

Set the same corner values as in step 7 and press Enter key.

This is my result till now.

Set the blending mode of layer to Color Dodge (see my pic).

And we are already getting somewhere.

Click above to Layer, New Fill Layer and select Gradient Fill...

When asked, just confirm the adjustment layer's name with OK button.

Then set the same settings like I did and select black and white gradient within drop down menu.

Press OK when finished.

Set the blending mode of adjustment layer to Soft Light (see my pic).

Fin.
