The last thing will be to change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge. After that just go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. So back to the document, just create a new layer on top of the others and with the Paint Bucket Tool (G), select Pattern for the color and use the patter you have just created.

To create the lines I created I pattern, it's really easy, start a new document with 100x4 pixels then create a black line with 2 pixels height and a white line bellow the black with other 2 pixels height. Also with the Eraser Tool (E), delete the center light of the space scene. Just place it in front of the other layers and change the Blend Mode to Screen. I used one from Shutterstock if you want you can get it here. Now if you want to add a space scene, you can either create it from scratch, which I have done several times in past tutorials or we can use a stock photo. Also, reduce the size of the brush and invert the color to erase the parts that are over the lines and text, otherwise the blue will affect the light effect.Īdd some flares using Brushes or stock images. With white for the color start painting over the mask layer, so the blue clouds will start appearing. Then with the Brush Tool (B) use a big soft brush. Use blur for the color and Multiply for the Blend Mode.

Then just paint some dots of light like the light was moving through the lines.Īdd another layer, this time not inside the Color Dodge layer, then change the Blend Mode to Screen and go to Layer>Layer Style>Color Overlay. Then for the Size use 10 pixels and for the Range 50%.Īdd another layer inside the Color Dodge folder and with the Brush Tool (B), pick a small and soft brush. Then go to Layer>Layer Styles>Outer Glow, use 75% for the Opacity, a very light yellow for the color. After that go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. With the Rectangle Tool (U), inside of the folder with Color Dodge, create some lines starting on the edge of the letters Es and Ls. For the Warp select Bulge, then just move the handle to reduce the size of the bulge effect. Now for each text layer, the stroke and the inner shadow one, go to Edit>Transform>Warp. Also you you have to change the Fill of the layer to 0%, that way you will only see the the inner shadow. Use Color Dodge for the Blend Mode, -40º for the Angle, 20 pixels for the Distance, 30% for the Choke and 75 pixels for the Radius. Then go to Layer>Layer Style>Inner Shadow. Now for the word without stroke, go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. After that go to Fillter>Blur>Gaussian Blurr. Also move the stroke layer to the top and right so, they won't be aligned, that will create a nice depth. Then change the Blend Mode of the folder to Color Dodge. Group the stroke layer and the word layer. After that just make sure that you have the stroke layer selected and delete the marquee selection. A new layer will be created, but it will be with the whole word, so holding Command (MAC)/Control (PC), click over the original text to create a marquee selection. Then go to Layer>Layer Style>Create Layer. It's good if the words end with E or F, later on you will understand.ĭuplicate the layer and go to Layer>Layer Styles>Stroke. With the Horizontal Type Tool (T) add the text you want in 2 or more lines. Then fill the background layer with a very dark brown. Step 1Ĭreate a new document in Photoshop, I used 1920x1200 pixels. We will play basically with some basic filters like Gaussian Blur, also with Blend Modes to the light effects.
