STEP 5: WORKING WITH TEXT

The font I used is Plain Germanica. Press T or select the text from the left panel and write the text that you want. If you don’t know how to install fonts in Photoshop then you might be interested in my How to Install Fonts in Photoshop tutorial.

Once you have written the text then press F7 to open the layer panel and click on the add layer style to text layer which you can find at the bottom of the layer panel. Then click on bevel and emboss. Change the settings as shown below.

style = emboss
technique = smooth
depth = 174%
direction = up
size = 5 pixels
soften = 0 pixels
angle = 36 degree
altitude = 39 degree
gloss contour = gaussian
highlight mode = linear dodge with 54% with color #c98206
shadow mode = multiply with 75% with pure black color

Now click on texture. Click on the drop down texture menu. Select rock pattern and choose “black marble”.

Set the scale to 97% and depth to +63%.

Now select inner shadow. It will add shadow to your image.

blend mode = multiply with black color
opacity = 75%
angle = 36 degree
distance = 5 pixels
choke = 0 pixels
size = 5 pixels

Now go to gradient overlay. This will make my right are of the text a bit brighter and left area a bit darker.

bland mode = soft light
opacity = 77%
style = linear
angle = 55 degree
scale = 95%

Now I am going to show you how to change the color of the gradient.First click on the gradient(on the gradient, not on the drop down icon) then click on stops(where 1st arrow ends) and then change the color to pure black. Similarly process for the right stop but change the color to grey. I am going with dark grey with color code #5b5252.
