| TEXT EFFECTS - GRADIENT OVERLAY |
|
I never use a gradient overlay without a pattern overlay. So this tutorial is not going
to be that simple that I only
teach you how to make a gradient overlay. I'm going to teach you how to combine those two together. Here's our example.  Step 1 --> Copy the text and paste it on the scan.  Step 2 --> Go to Layer --> Layer Style --> Stroke.  Step 3 --> Change over to the standard settings of the given example below. Once you're done, click on 'Pattern Overlay.'  Step 4 --> Choose a screentone that you have defined in your list and that looks close enough to the original.  Step 5 --> When you're done click on 'Gradient Overlay.' Step 6 --> Set the 'Blending Mode' to 'Overlay.'  Step 7 --> Play a little with the degrees of the 'Angle.' When you're done click on 'OK.' I used -25 degrees.  This is how it looks like for me.  Give your SFX some final touches by rotating the text and use a warp style. This is my end result.  It's not exactly the same, but it's close to it and that's what matters for now. |
