Tutorial : Glass Font #2

Alright here is another way to get a  nice glass font in Photoshop. Well actually it's the same procedure but with different settings on the layer style.

This is what we will be looking at : 

Okay lets get started.

1.) Open a nice Background of your choice and create a new Text Layer using the Text Tool (T)
For this tutorial I use Font-Size 500px and the font called "Franklin Gothic Heavy"
Note : If you use a smaller font-size, you will have to adjust the layer style settings that I show later 

2.) When you got your text add a layer style by clicking the button shown below and select "Blending Options..." from the drop-down menu.

3.) Okay, we will need the following effects : Bevel & Emboss, Stroke, Inner Glow and Outer Glow

Tutorial : Glass Font #1

It's been a while since the last post but here is another tutorial.
As you might be able to guess from the title it is going to be about another text effect.

Before we start I'd like to show you how the result would look like :

I won't be going too much into detail as the steps are very similar to the ones in the Gold Text tutorial. 

• Open up Photoshop and open a wallpaper that you like or one that you think would match with the glass text. If there is none, create a new image (File -> New...) and fill the background with a color of your choice using the Paint Bucket Tool ( Hotkey : G )
• Once that's done, select the TextType Tool (T) and write a word with a big (200-300px) font (font-color : white). In this tutorial I'm gonna be using the font called "Franklin Gothic ITC Heavy"
• Then we need to add a layer style by clicking the following button while having the text layer selected

• From the drop-down choose "Blending Options..."
• The next window should seem familiar if you have followed the gold text tutorial.
• We need to add the following Styles : Bevel & Emboss, Stroke, Inner Shadow, Inner Glow, Satin, Drop Shadow
• For keeping it short and easy i will be posting my settings that have worked out pretty well and that were used to get the result above. As always you can try and experiment with the settings to get something new.
