Photoshop Tutorial | Jelly Text Effect |
Ok, so I wanted to make some Photoshop tutorials because I didn't see alot around here, the tutorials are pretty basic and I'll go over some basic things and techniques for you guys.
In all of my tutorials I use Photoshop CS4, but you can actually use every version of Photoshop for most of the effects, in fact, you can even use programs like Paint.NET and GIMP, these are free(!) and almost as powerfull as Photoshop.
In this tutorial we're going to make a sweet, jelly like text effect. This is what we are going to be making:
Step 1
First up, make a new File at 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high.
Now for the background, make a smooth radial gradient with these two shades of brown: #4e3d35 and #1e1916
(Note that the gradient doesn't start at the exact center of the image, but abit to the top left)
For step 2, type, in a nice green (#4a9c1d), some text. The bolder the font, the better. I used Harabara (Download) and typed "Jelly" (I know, very original
).
Center it and go to Window/Character. Set your options to the same as mine.
Step 3
Now add some blending styles to make it look more like jelly. You can always play around with the controls if you think mine don't look good enough
Step 4
And now, the gloss.
Click on the icon of the text layer while holding Ctrl (Or Command for Mac users) to load the selection.
Go to Select/Modify/Contract and contract the selection by about 4 pixels.
Step 5
Make a linear gradient wich goes from white to transparent. Make a new layer and click and drag from the top of the selection to the bottom. Now de-select.
Step 6
And there you go! A nice jelly type! Hope you learned something.
I'm going to make some more tutorials in the near future, but first I'm going to wait for some reactions on this one.

Step 6
Make elliptical selection at the bottom of the text and hit delete. You can use a ruler to center the selection.
And there you go! A nice jelly type! Hope you learned something.
