this is great post. i am new in design world. i think this learning is most affective for new learner.
Thanks ! Thanks ! ! Thanks ! ! !
First of all you don’t have to describe it, because you can show examples , such as these but secondly these designs & effects are not suitable for any logo. Like you saw the techniques are way too complex for a logo. The best logo’s are simple, but clever and perfectly executed. It should be read and memorised easily when printed small on a ball pen or when it’s on a billboard which people drive by with 100 km per hour.
This post is very useful and interesting….
thanks companyfolders!
i’ve got a lot new ideas for future projects from this post!
Great photoshop effects!
Kind regards Heleen D.
Very nice tutorial website. Awsome fonts effect. Thanks
I love the Candy design and Advanced Glow effect. Those are awesome! ?

How to Master Layers & Groups in Photoshop
I’ve been working with PS for over 20 years. I always learn something new in each tutorial. Well worth it!
Just an excellent series of videos providing a lot of creative ideas for designing text effects. Such a great range of options for creating title slides for travelogues. What made the difference in the learning process, was the availability of the PSD files. It was so easy to cut and paste images of the final graphics and the layers panels and place them on paper, so you are able to add your own notes for future reference. Not all Pro tutorials provide PSD files, but this demonstrates how they can enhance learning when you create your own scripts. Great videos + PSD’s = 5 stars !!
Gostaria de que as aulas tivessem um mecanismo de tradução , como no Youtube. Sou brasileiro e por isso tenho dificuldade de acompanhar o curso porque o Aaron fala muito rápido.
That is absolutely stunning tutorial. I am immensely grateful to you! 5 stars!
Thank you for making these text effect tutorials. I really needed to learn them.
This tutorial reinforces the importance of good, and creative, text design. Many of us photographers tend to ignore it to our cost. Might even be an idea there for an extended tutorial covering the many occasions when images need to be accompanied by text e.g. Newsletters, posters, photo books, exhibitions and even emails and other correspondence.
Excellent tutorial, really great if you do graphic design, and if not layer styles if always a great tool to have under your belt for composites and all kind of photo manipulation work, recommend! 🙂
Aaron, you’re the best! I’ve just begun to explore these amazing tutorials and can’t wait to put what I’ve learned to use. One suggestion for future tutorials using Layer Styles, please tell us what settings you are using, it’s really hard to see them on the screen. 🙂
As usual, Aaron is very thorough and informative, mixing enough humor in to make the concepts easy to learn. These techniques, broken down, are useful and fun. Another terrific PHLEARN tutorial!
Thanks Mr.Arron Nace , As I admire you since my childhood Now I’m near 20 and I got my Visa card to subscribe pro tips to train more😍.
Great tutorials with a lot of insight into various effects and tricks. I’m a pretty skilled photoshop artist and I still learned something in just about every lesson.
I can’t express enough about how easy it is to follow along and understand everything that is being done! I always learn so much and this tutorial was perfect, perfect, perfect! I now have so many ideas in mind and am excited to start putting all that I learned to action! Thank you so much!
I learned a great deal from this tutorial. The step and repeat technique is so cool, and one I will use again and again. I really enjoyed learning all the various methods for improving my text. Great tutorial!
Would love to see more of tutorials like this.
Fun tutorial. Learned some nice techniques I did not know yet. Keep PHlearning!
I am so glad I joined Phlearn. Aaron is definitely my favorite instructor for Photoshop skills. I especially love these text techniques!
I have been watching your tutorials on YouTube for years now, but I am so glad I joined here on your site. This text effect tutorial is a MUST WATCH for anyone with any involvement in graphic design. I didn’t know the majority of effects in this tutorial were even possible beforehand.

3D effects are commonly used in typography and we can achieve great results by adjusting the light, creating necessary forms and underscoring the correct comfortable space.
Volumetric Rubber and Glass in Photoshop CS6
First of all, write down the text and define what kind of style you need to give it. The next step is to tune all the chosen panels: 3D and the Properties. Then move on to creating texture and color scheme of the text. The last steps are: selecting and adding glass or rubber effects to the text, and adjusting the lights and shadows.
Frozen Text Effect
Firstly, we are going to fill our background with Paint Bucket Tool . Secondly, we build Layer Curves for making directly to create an ice effect. Writing the text using the Trojan Pro font. Then draw a tracery in the soft light mode. Chalk outlines brush edges of the text and applies the “ Accented Edges Filter ” to underline the colors.
Spray Paint Text Effect
With each text effect is becoming easier to explain how? What? And where? So this tutorial will not much differ from the other. Creating of it is similar. So we make a new document, composing a few splats in the middle of the page. Next we add the text, choosing the font so that it was grungy. Apply the command “ Gaussian Blur ” and make it a little brighter. Use soft round brush and add color overlay, outer glow, inner glow. Then add strokes in different bright colors and again add a “Gaussian blur”. Finishing the work save all layers in one final.
Metal Text Effect
In this tutorial we will learn how to create the embossed metal effect. Let's activate the Rulers and create a horizontal guide. Drag the guide to the center and create the form that you need with the Scale function. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to draw holes on both sides and make sure they are symmetric. In order to give the material larger dimensions and give the text a stamping effect, we must give contour, gradient overlay, drop shadow. The next step is to create the text and make it color shielding. Next – apply, bevel and emboss inscription in the center of the plate. Give it contour, gradient overlay, drop shadow, and combine all the layers in one.
Kiwi-Inspired Photoshop Text Effects
It's time to taste, delicious dessert! However, this effect is quite difficult create. The matter is that kiwi is a three-dimensional object with many details.
After creating a new document, we construct the background gradient. Then proceed to creating the text using the font “Bubblegum”. Now we will edit the fruit. Firstly, we set up the color balance. Secondly, we cut the fruit into pieces in order to create the illusion of volume and lay them on each other. With small pieces, we will customize the look of the words. All difficult tasks end here. it is more important to connecting the layers with separate parts and creating the effect of living drops.
Rusty Photoshop Text Effects
Start with the black background and set foreground as hazel color. Find “ Clouds ” command and adjust brightness. Next, go to the command Sprayed Strokes, then to the – “ Add Noise ”. Once complete, we will use Splatter and Unsharp Mask commands. To create a new text we need to switch to the type tool. Finally we use : “ Inner shadow ” and “ Liner Dodge ” – if you want to change the direction.
3D Flowery Photoshop Text Effects
Set up the background color and use gradient tool to mark the circle. The next step is to create a 3D text and apply the surface gradient alternately to each letter. To emphasize the same color apply the gradient overlay. The next task is to add flower swirls on both the letters themselves and the background around the letters. The last step is to create glowing stars with the help of Soft Brush Tool.
Offset Path Photoshop Text Effects
At first we produce a plain path. With the “ Direct Selection Tool ” you lightly may choose the place you want to edit and draw a little circle there. Now use the circle to mark important places. Then in Path section we utilize 10px Offset and repeat this step. Load the background photo. Then we transfer the vector on the picture and go to Invert and Photo Filter command.
Bio Theme Logo Text Effect
The leaf texture was created separately with the help of " Warp ". To acheive this effect we need to create green text on the black background. Then place the leaf alternately on each letter in different directions. Next, mark approximately the verges with white, where will be curl branches of our leaves. Then with " Bevel and Emboss " turn them to living and volumetric. Use Drop Shadow to fix 3D effect. After that we draw a vine that will connect the text and a butterfly that sits on the first letter.
Dynamic Particle Explosion Text Effect
Write down the text using heavy bold font. Switch to “ Outer Glow ”, “ Inner Glow ” and “ Gradient Overlay ”. Use “ Clouds ” layers and start clicking with white brush, to create an explosion effect. Also use bigger brushes and “ Gaussian Blur ” to produce more realistic motion. Next, use “ Rasterize Type ” command.
I hope that creator’s inspiration will not drain and you will gladly use the newest effects.

Text Portrait Effect in Photoshop
- 12 February 2024
This text portrait effect is known as a Calligram. It’s where a passage of text bends and warps around the contours of the subject’s face. This effect is particularly powerful when used to present famous speeches by depicting the orator through their words. The process uses just a small selection of Photoshop’s tools, with the Displace filter and a clipping mask being the key ingredients to making the effect.
