Fireworks make exquisite text effects

This article summarizes a lot of use fireworks to draw a variety of text effects of the common performance techniques and production methods, hope to help everyone.

　　One, several common text effects

1. Simple, commonly used

Two layers: One is a monochrome font (usually medium or coarse)

The second layer is text scattering (ctrl+shift+p), stroke (2-5px), projection (distance and softness are within 5)

2. Gradient

For the time being, the simple two-layer style: in the colored background input text, scattered. Then copy a layer and put it in the back.

Take the first layer three steps: Split combination (CTRL+SHIFT+B), Union Path (Select all text "Modify"-"combination Path"-"union"), and then fill the gradient (often more vivid colors, note that the two color of the gradient is best one deep one shallow)

The back layer is stroked, according to the color of the description. It is usually painted white and black, with a 3-5 pixel wide edge.

3. A common (especially in pixel painting) of the concave-convex effect

A total of four layers: the main layer is the main text (with a thicker font), giving a single color

Main layer text above duplicate two layers, one layer is dark layer, inner projection-darker than the main text color, 2 pixel margin, soft to 0, angle of 138 or so, below the dark layer has a bright layer (usually light in the dark below, when the light is insufficient), inner projection-lighter than the main text color, 2 pixel margin, soft to 0, Angle is about 315.

The last face is given a layer, and a dark side is painted for the body text. It's OK ~

4. Another means of writing effects: highlighting

　　Third, imitate the effect of others

1. Find some good results of other stations, save the picture (or the screenshot).

2. Open the FW, the graphics and text amplification several times, see what the text in the end what effect. It is particularly important to understand the level of effect of the text implementation.

Some basic levels from the inside to outside are: within the bright-> word inner shadow-> text body-> stroke/Glow-> shadow (usually strokes and shadows can be implemented in one layer)-> other backgrounds

3. The level of distinction can be done on their own. To be completely imitated, there are several conditions:

• Control Tounnes is Chinese text

The text in the picture is the font you know (ask it if you don't know it), and the system has this font (estimate the font you know your system should have)

Note: Some good Chinese stations, you obviously see quite good effect, also seem to have seen this font, but his effect is not to come. At this point you can effect, people are not using the outside of the effect of the font, such as an angle stretching, a stroke bending.

If you really have not seen that font, ask why, there is also a note, others that is for their own stand specially prepared fonts, professional art-self-made text. You can only imitate to do the same font (to do it yourself, or with a similar font transformation, hoho~)

4. If it is English, Korean, Japanese and other languages of the text effect, to be made in Chinese, can only use similar effects of the font. Look for similar fonts and notice a few things:

• Foreign language font angle, is round, or straight, or other ~

• The thickness and the hollow of the foreign language font. Some words are quite thick, the Chinese "classic song", "Hua Kang poster" is quite thick.

• The most important is the style of the text expression. It depends on what kind of Web site you pick off the map, there are active cute doll style (Chinese commonly used "Hua Kang Doll", "interesting body," Han Ya Ya "," Han Doll seal "and so on, dynamic dynamic (" Hua Kang poster "," Taiji Body "), Fashion style (" Xiuying body ",", "" Round body < round, thick > "," Butterfly Style "), but also have a square of the straightforward style (" Han-prism-heart Body "," "Comprehensive Arts", "match body"), serious style ("bold", "XXFarEastFont-Arial"), classical elegance (more than a number of classical) and so on, I use the opportunity is not much, temporarily can only say these (for reference, do not know right) ~ ~

In short, these effects are a lot of collection, do not abuse.

Highlight some special words: "Nice green drinks, oh!" which can be "green" highlighted to show. The "green" text to enlarge a little bit with green color display.

There are several basic (can be combined):

• Font bold, increase

• Text with prominent, bright colors (gradient can also), as well as strokes (in fact, strokes usually do not need to be bright, with white, or tints are good, of course, can also be used with the text hue-colored color lining.

• Text heightening, tilt, twist and other changes can also be used accordingly.

• Dynamic effects, flashing or motion effects

• According to the text content, plus the corresponding elements. As mentioned in the previous "green", in addition to the effect of green text, you can also in the upper corner of the text (can be) add a green leaf, or the text with a green picture with water droplets to fill. Other self play, in short Creative Unlimited.

• Use other fonts, or change text strokes. With the above joint, you can directly "green" in the "纟" text to break, with "Selected tools" to change the stroke path, into a leaf. or the "color" of the next hook to the right elongated, in the hook put some leaves, grass, water droplets and other elements.

5. Crystal

The crystal text, mainly utilizes two masks in the Mask: path contour and grayscale appearance.

Several other good crystal effect performance points:

One is highlighted, I do the effect of the "signature action" in the "signboard" in the word, the above has such a highlight. Of course, I do more sloppy.

The second is the translucent gradient:

This is the effect. Usually with white strokes, and no soft white/tint translucent hair effect is better.

　　Second, the more dazzling effect

I am not a collage student, also did not take the initiative to study these, but in the classic has a good post, I do not have to swim.

In particular, the first and second, there are more things worth studying, can create more cool glare effect OH. Here are some pictures of the text effects I did casually.
