Scrabble Text
Tutorial in Advanced, Drawing, Effects, In Text
This is a funny tutorial in which you will learn to create a Scrabble-style text. In order to get to the final result and get the desired effect, you will need to apply ((Layer Styles)), some other tools, and a wooden texture that I uploaded and which you can download.
Open a new document (800×300px and transparent background).
Fill it in with color #11477E .
Create a ((New Layer)).
As the main color, choose #D4AB7D .
Select ((Rounded Rectangle Tool)), radius: 4px, antialias active, and draw the Scrabble card.
Before going on with the next step, download this PATTERN.
Open the image.
Then go to ((Edit))-((Define Pattern)) and save it.
Go to the original document.
Double click the layer with the card in order to go to ((Layer Styles)).
((Drop Shadow)).
((Inner Shadow)).
((Pattern Overlay)). Select the Pattern you have saved.
Save the changes.
Choose #6A491E as the main color.
Select the font Arial Black and write a letter.
Now go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).
((Drop Shadow)).
((Bevel and Emboss)).
Take a look at the details after applying ((Layer Styles)).
What you need to do now is to duplicate (Ctrl + J) both layers, (text and Scrabble card) as many times as it’s necessary, depending on the amount of letter you want. And, of course, change the letters in the duplicated layers.
Select all the duplicated layers and press Ctrl + E so that they are unified in one layer.
Go to ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Perspective)). Move any of the superior sliders inwards in order to create the perspective. Press Enter.
Duplicate the layer 2 times and move it a few steps upwards. Take a look at the result of this step in the following image.
Again, press Ctrl + E to unify the layers.
Double click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).
((Inner Glow)).
Well, we are done with the Scrabble text. This is my final result:
