PS Special effects Tutorial: Folding Corner Text effect of the production

The effect of this tutorial is somewhat similar to the page Curl effect. The method of production is basically the same. General production process: first conceived to fold the part, the part of the separate hook out, the appropriate transformation angle to the appropriate position, and then add shadow and high light.

Final effect

1. The first thing we have to do is open a new file in Photoshop, I use 1200*400 pixel, write Abduzeedo in bold, I use Verdana font bold, you can use any font you like.

2. Now, we're going to start folding each letter first, starting with a. Using the Rectangular Marquee tool (M), select the letter "a", press CTRL + C to copy the letter after selecting it, and then press CTRL + V to paste it, rename the pasted "a" (change the color of the Abduzeedo text before you copy and paste)

3, we already have the letter "a" on a new layer, now we will select a part of it to fold, I like to use polygonal lasso tool (L). (Make selections as shown below)

4. Now, we have a constituency, we will press CTRL + C to copy the selection, then delete the layer "a" of the selection, press CTRL + V paste, when you paste will prompt it on a new layer, renamed to "A-fold", you can see the image below the effect.

5, first change its color, go to image > Adjust > Hue/saturation (press CTRL + U), the saturation is set to-100, lightness is 60, at this point it looks like the back of the letter folding, then edit > Transform > Vertical flip (Note: Because we are folding from top to bottom, If it is side to side, we will flip it horizontally), then we go to edit > Transform > Rotate, and make sure that we rotate the angle of the folding area to be precise and must be in place. The following figure is a collapsed image.

6, now, the folding part has been placed in the right place, in order to make it look more real we want to add some shadows, first hold down the CTRL key click on the "A-fold" layer, we chose the folded part, now create a new layer, named "A-fold-shadow." Use the gradient tool-the linear gradient of black applied to the angle of the top folded region in the following figure, reducing the opacity of the layer if necessary.

7, back to "a-fold" layer, go to layer > Layer style > Projection, and reduce the opacity 75% to 25%, and try to adjust the angle of the folding area, I set is 135, also reduced 2px distance, the rest remain unchanged.

8, our last step on the layer "a" is to return to the "a" layer, Ctrl-click to select a, create a new layer (named A-shade), with the gradient tool-black linear gradient from the bottom to apply, change the layer mode to overlay. (Simply add a shadow to the bottom of a)

9, our first letter is complete, now we have to repeat the same steps in other letters, and finally get a perfect effect. Merge all the "a" letters into one folder, name "A", then start the same process for the letter B, and so on. Finally delete the text layer "Abduzeedo"! I hope you enjoy this tutorial.
