PS Draw Rust Iron metal font effects

Hello, you visual designer. I've been planning a series of sharing, called "Executive Tonic," from a long time ago. As the name suggests, this is a direct, even mechanical cram tutorial, the purpose is to enable our visual ability to perform in a short period of a qualitative upgrade. This shared audience may be a tutorial for a mandatory breakthrough between an intern designer and a mid-level designer, and when their performance approaches to a bottleneck. Our aim is not to force use, but to draw inspiration from it and master technology. This tutorial is staged, each issue, I will be for a design form of performance techniques, and expand Lenovo's explanation. Hope that the designer friend to find self-confidence, and slowly break through this tutorial, eventually to achieve technical pressure, the real use of creativity, and not be able to stumble.

Gossip does not say much, enter this period of content: font effect execution.

In the design of fonts, in addition to bridge differences structure can optimize the text, font texture, hue, detail, etc., can help improve the recognition of the text and animations. Sometimes the meaning of the copy will be more intuitive and explicit after the effect is used. For font structure design, there have been many designers have been very good to share. Here, we only draw on the part of the special effects implementation.

　　Reference one: Rust iron metal, light and other effects of the implementation

The visual effects that appear in the movie Harry Potter posters play a very good role in rendering the content. Slightly old rusty iron material text, with the radiation of light, and some fonts flash fire on the details of the effect, so that the whole picture atmosphere more mysterious, with magical temperament. When the font and effect of this temperament continue to any one text, the audience will feel the same. Just like the Arabic numerals above, the content is irrelevant to the movie. Now, let's break down the process of making this text effect.

We tick out a need for the body. Here I have the Harry Potter font, if a designer wants to try it without sketching it myself, I can provide this font to everyone.

The effect of the light relief to create a three-dimensional effect of the graphic, because this is a screenshot of a foreign site, the parameters inside I suggest not to refer to the value of all effects, is through their own eyes to grasp.

Simple effect of adjusting shadow parts

Find a rust texture of the picture, choose a positive superposition of the effect attached to the body above.

Select the graphic itself as the mask body, isolate the extra texture picture

Use the Pen tool to outline the shape of the light and Shade junction, the picture is high, here, I say a few more words. For the understanding of the material materials, everyone has a difference, but as long as in life to observe things, we can easily in their deep consciousness to remember the visual feeling of material. Here, the high light is slightly exaggerated, not because the executor wants the metal material to be more prominent (the rusty metal is not so bright), but to create a magical electric button feel.
