Design a Colorful Typography in Photoshop

2-27-08 Filed under Photoshop Tutorials & Typography

Step 1:
Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 600×300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a black color. Just to be organize make a new layer set and put all your future text layers inside the layer set. Now select the Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Bauhus 93, regular, 140 pt, smooth and white color shade. To achieve the final colorful ‘OriginMaker’ text we have to create each letter in its own text layer, in a new text layer type the first letter of your typography.

Step 2:
Under Layer Style (Layer > Layer Style) add a Satin and Gradient Overlay blending options to your first text layer.

Step 3:
In a new text layer type the first letter in black color. Position the black letter as shown below.

Step 4:
Now add another copy this time with a #8A2C00 color shade. Make note of this step if you want different color for your first letter which will be covered in step six and seven.

Step 5:
Under Layer Style (Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Satin and Gradient Overlay blending options to your colored letter layer.

Step 6:
Now add your second letter in this case ‘r’ from OriginMaker. All you have to do is duplicate your layer set with your first letter layers then modify the colored font to a #738100 color shade.

Step 7:
Here are some suggested colors you can use that will work perfect.

#817900

#810000

#730181

#01839A

Step 8:
Add the rest of the letters and your done. You can set them up as you wish, my way of set-up might not work for your name.
