Moon Shine Effect
Trendy Typographic
Hi and welcome to my new tutorial in photoshop . Today i show yohow to create a nice effects .
Wait to load the post as it has many pictures and information .
Step 1
Since this text effect looks best on dark colored backgrounds, let’s create one. Using the color #0f1c25 and black, create a radial gradient from the center of your document.
Step 2
Let’s set some type in the document to use the effect on. Bolder and stronger fonts will work better!
Step 3
Go into your text layers Blending Options (Right Click Layer > Blending Options).
Apply the layer effects shown below, making any modifications as needed.
Drop Shadow
Outer Glow - #afd3e2
Inner Glow - #93c1d4

Trendy Typographic
Step 1
Using simple shapes can produce some great looking contemporary designs that fit well as impactful posters, a good example being the recent Trendy Geometric Lines tutorial. This time we'll look at stripping back the tools to creating an interesting and eye-catching poster with a single typographic word.
Step 2
Find a random image to base the design on, the subject of the photo isn't at all important, just choose a picture with varied contrast and preferably tailored towards your chosen colour scheme. In this case I've picked out a landscape scene with a mix of blues and greens.
Step 3
Open up the image in Adobe Photoshop and resize accordingly.
Step 4
Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, drag the slider almost all the way to the maximum to completely disguise the original subject and blend together the colours and tones.
Step 5
Take this textureband place on a new layer in the Photoshop document.
Step 6
Desaturate the image then change the blending mode to Soft Light and drop the opacity to suit, adding a little detail and roughness to the image.
Step 7
With the Type Tool, write out your desired wording. Of course, I have used the word SPOON and set in the bold and prominent Helvetica Condensed Black.
Step 8
Rotate the block of text to 45 degrees (hold shift to constrain the angle). Set the blending mode to Soft Light to allow the underlying texture to show through.
Step 9
Position the text to encroach onto the document covering the top corner. Whilst holding ALT drag a copy of the text and scale into a new position.
Step 10
Hold the ALT key and drag two more copies of the text, resize them and position to fill out space on the document.
Step 11
With the next copy, rotate the text by 90 degrees leaving it perpendicular to the other variations. Move the text into place leaving the same gap between the other text objects.
Step 12
Create more instances of the text and rotate and scale into varying positions, ensure that each block aligns to the diagonal gridlines of the composition that are being formed.
Step 13
When gaps appear in the document, visualise how the word can be scaled or rotated to fill the gap whilst aligning to the gridline and leaving the same gap around the objects.
Step 14
Also take into consideration the spread of large and small instances of the text to ensure that the sizes are varied without clusters of similar sized objects creating an unwanted focal point.
Step 15-Final Results
With multiple copies of the text being scaled and rotated into place the document is now completely filled.
Make any final tweaks to the poster such as altering the overall layout and making small edits to the individual objects, leaving a trendy poster design based almost solely on a typographic layout of a single word!
Well this is all . Bye !
