How does Blu-ray neon word effect do?

The author also uses the layer style to make neon words, but when making more attention to detail, not only increased the smoke background, but also added a reflection, so that the picture more lifelike.

Final effect

1, a new 1920px*1080 file, this size is the size of the Mac. This is the best size when we do a scrolling web page of the ad map. However, the specific size, still depends on the actual needs of your project.

Fill a black background layer, and then create a new layer. Set the foreground color to black, the background color to white, and go to filter > Render > Cloud to add clouds to the layer. If the cloud does not work at once, you can also use the shortcut key combination "Ctrl+f" to repeat the operation several times.

2. Create a new layer above the cloud layer and use the gradient tool to set a radial gradient of blue (#15aec4) to Black (#000000) (the blue here is the main color I use in this example, you can refer to it, or you can use your own color). When the gradient layer is done, adjust the layer blending mode of the gradient layer to "multiply".

3, after the change to multiply the bottom, the style is as follows.

4, now let us copy this layer again (CTRL+J) out of two layers, one of the blending mode to "overlay", placed at the top of the layer, the other layer on top of the original layer, the blending mode is unchanged.

Then, with the free transform tool, the top layer is shortened to two-thirds of the original size, and the other layer is shortened to the original One-third. This is to create an environment of three-dimensional, so, not only our main object of the background needs color effect, but also have the feeling of reflection. So, to literally understand the students who are still not very clear, you can look at the picture below.

By this step, the background is finished. You can put the above layer into the new group "background", and then continue to do the rest of the steps on top of the background.

5, will do a good text-type logo dragged into it, placed above the layer, and placed in the middle, just let it stand just a three-point effect of the background map of the lower position. This will make it look more stereoscopic.

6. Copy the identified layer to a layer, and then temporarily turn off the duplicate layer. Add a blending style of gradient overlay to the identity layer. Gradient settings can refer to my color, of course, with the main color with the line, the angle of 0 linear gradient. After the gradient overlay and then add "Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur" to the layer, the blur size is 18px, the size of the main look at your logo size, so that the final effect as shown in the following figure.

7, you can open just hidden copy layer, the replication layer first grid, hold down the CTRL key to select the layer, the purpose is to pull out the layer of the selection. Then go to "SELECT > Modify > Shrink" to shrink the selection by 2 pixels. Then turn the layer off, create a new layer in the selection, and fill it with white.

8, the purpose of our shrinking constituency is to create a finer mark than the original text, which I often use when creating a light effect, especially when the light effect is a finer strip shape, and the contraction of the top layer produces a concentrated effect.
